Posts from The most UNPOPULAR faction in Heroes 5.

My race ranking looks like this (as you can guess, the least favorite one is at the bottom):
1. Dwarves.
2. Orcs.
3. Necromancers.
4. Dark Elves.
5. Humans.
6. Elves.
7. Mages.
8. Demons.

It's not very convenient to play as Mages... but for some reason, Demons annoy me even more. Both in terms of appearance and gameplay style, and in general...

I hate demons, both in Heroes 3 and Heroes 5.

I love demons in all the Heroes games. And especially in the fifth one – the gates are awesome, the models are great, and the hero model is just super, along with his animation. I don't like Necropolis, probably because I've played with them too much in the past, and they've become incredibly boring. As for the others, they're just okay. I don't really like Haven. But I do love Academy, just like I love Inferno. But they are really expensive. And my absolute favorite is Dungeon.

You shouldn't disrespect Haven:mad:, and Inferno too, I won a tournament with them (against the Academy, by the way):smile03:

I don't like Dwarves: there's no variety. Dwarves, dwarves, and more dwarves.
But the best are Necropolis and Dark Elves.

Many people don't like Humans simply because they are a rather standard race for fantasy-themed games. Therefore, they are considered boring. Perhaps this viewpoint exists among us as well.

That's definitely a valid observation! I personally have a better opinion of them than I do of Dwarves.

I don't like Dwarves either; in fact, they're my least favorite race!

True Storm: I'm saying I like demons. Or do you mean I shouldn't like them? I don't hate humans, I'm just tired of them. In the original game, I got tired of playing through the boring tutorial campaign, I started playing as the Dwarves – and bam, again humans, and the very first ones at that. I never finished the first campaign with the Dwarves, I got so sick of it. Luckily, there aren't any in the Orcs. And, to be honest, the Dwarves as a race are just... mediocre for me. I've played as them far less than as humans or the Necromancers. That's why I haven't gotten tired of them yet. Added after 1 hour 57 minutes By the way, I found it amusing that someone said, "I don't like demons because they're just brute force." Well, well. Demons are one of the most complex races to play, in terms of tactics in battle and overall development. The troops have good initiative, but they aren't that strong overall. It's important to know where and when to open a portal, or just strike when it's most advantageous. Inferno has very few ranged units, only one, and Pitfiends don't count because they move rarely and mana runs out quickly. So, you can't just stand back and shoot everyone down as easily as humans or Sylvans. You can't raise troops after they die, like the Necromancers. You can't create thousands of archers, like humans (it's expensive, but the goal justifies the means). You can't clear mines as easily as with Furies or break through ranged units with new skeletons. And, of course, you can't repair Cerberi with Imps like Golems or have Succubi and the hero cast Fireballs every turn like mages. All you can do is open portals and hope for the speed of your troops. And for the Ballista (because the Balista is what allows Inferno to survive). It's very difficult to play as Inferno, which is why many people don't like this Castle. And all those words about brute force are a stereotype imposed by the game itself, like demons run around and kill everyone, and there are hordes of them, and they are so cruel, oh-oh-oh, they can't be stopped.

I voted for the humans because I don't like them, simply because they are humans; they move slowly, but they are strong, and I always play as the **evil** faction if the game allows it.

Hi :D, I'm new here, but I've been playing for a long time. I hate Mages for 3 reasons:
1. Their hero smokes, and I hate smokers.
2. They're weak; out of 7 units, only 3 are any good. (Mages, Golems, Titans)
3. Their colors are terrible.
I also don't like Elves; they look awful.

I'm against mages and dwarves. Mages have expensive cities and expensive units. Dwarves' rune magic is complete nonsense, and their units don't shoot well, but otherwise, they're okay.

rune magic is overpowered
and the units really have poor ranged attack.

How to understand what's "imba"?
The most useless unit of the Dwarves is probably the Berserker. They deal decent damage, but they are easily killed. If the Priests of Arkat didn't shoot, they would also be useless.

Rune magic is nonsense!? Well... I haven't heard anything more ridiculous in months! Do you even know how to use it? I wonder why it's like that? - For you, it's nonsense, but for me, it's an advantage in a duel.
Gnome Lord, I hope your hatred extends only to mages, but not to forum users:D

imba - imbalanced, in short, it means imbalance. Rune magic is simply overpowered, it dominates everything. Try to defeat a Dwarf in a duel - you'll understand why. It's a different story in a regular game. Here, resources are limited, and you won't waste them so easily. But still, runes are cheating.
And yes, Zerks are really useless, they die like flies. I never build them, as there are already not enough resources.
