Posts from Inferno tactics.

But what I was talking about wasn't that. :)
I was talking about how to accumulate a large number of "goat" units from auxiliary units that are not suitable for other purposes. I attack neutrals, letting them tear them apart, and then raise the "goats" (also a form of necromancy), but with 100% success.

The most important conclusion I've drawn for myself is:
Simply sending units to their deaths just to resurrect them as demons isn't the best approach. This way, you'll assemble your army into a powerful force, but overall, you won't increase either HP or damage.

I wasn't talking about a mindless rush on Pitfiends. I said that in a battle against a human player, even if I attack, I won't finish them off completely, and I'll also weaken the Pitfiends so they won't be resurrected too often. When playing against neutral creatures, you can use your units as bait, and they won't even attack the Pitfiends.

I'll add about XP and damage.
You have 7 stacks. Let's choose the leftmost stack (harpies, spearmen, etc.) that cannot be included in these 7 stacks. And they will become demons, which will definitely have more damage than the units you were saving them for. And the demons will have better stats.

And if we talk about the native faction, simple calculations will show that HP and Damage are constant. Despite the higher stats of the demons.

I disagree.
There's a concept of a "shock stack" that demons form. And I believe that Gogs and Imps are useless; their best use is to be converted into demons.
A shock stack with 50 demons is much better than 15 demons and Gogs with Imps.

I usually rule out Inferno because I can't play with it or against it. For a long time, it was considered a terrible faction, but only because few people knew how to play it. But after I got thoroughly beaten by players using it, I immediately put this faction in the category of overpowered ones, like Necropolis. It's basically a gamble. You spawn in the Dungeon, the starting location is bad – you can just give up. If you're lucky and spawn in a good location, especially if you're on top and everything is going well, then your opponent is in trouble.

It’s better to play on regular maps, not on Warlords (we can handle Warlords just fine:D)

Yes, the tactic is not bad, but why only Octavia at the beginning? You can buy several heroes to drain armies into one and break through resources, plus chains and collecting unguarded freebies goes faster. Wouldn't that speed up the process?

I also like Nimue with her defense and attack in the beginning for Inferno, then Calh with his Gog and ranged attack.

Exactly, no! An extra hero costs 2500 (( we can't! We need Ifrits and a Castle for growth in the first week!!! The strategy is based on finances! And it works very well... The only thing that can happen is a passage blocked by creeps... but that's a very rare occurrence, so you can't go anywhere (((
But I've found a solution for that a long time ago! :cool:

Okay, let's calculate. If something is incorrect (I'm writing this from memory), please correct me. Difficulty is 200%. Gogs are built.
According to your tactic, it works out like this:
Day 1: Prefecture (2500 gold).
Day 2: Demons (about 2000 gold).
Day 3: Ifrits (about 3000 gold).
Day 4: Stronghold (2500 gold).
Days 5-7: Castle (5000 gold).
The approximate cost of expenses for a week is 15000. Income (Prefecture plus Octavia, minus 500 gold for one day, since she wasn't there on the first day) is (1350*7 - 500) = 8950 gold.
Then 15000 - 8950 = 6050 gold.
That is, we need to collect six thousand five hundred gold in a week, which is just lying around on the map. This is the minimum.
Then we simply build up in the Castle. And on the first day, we will have the same

1350 and another collected pile of gold (about 3-4 thousand) to buy 5 Ifrits and... some more Gogs.
Of course, six thousand is about 4 treasure chests, plus another pile of gold of 3-4 thousand. This is an average scenario for a map. My calculations are approximate.
In general, if everything adds up, we buy these Ifrits or part of them and Gogs with the remaining money.
This tactic will work, but it's not the fastest development.
By buying the second and third heroes (that's another 5 thousand), we can raid the dungeon, take treasure chests and gold for at least that amount, plus an army, and heroes that will be useful later, plus the hero gains 2-3 levels.
And reading reports from tournaments, they even manage to take the first rations, dwarves, and Naga banks in the first week.
So, your tactic is not yet the limit of speed. ;)

By practicing? Only if we play against each other. But I have WOG installed. I can play against you as Inferno, and you can play as Castle.
Regarding empty discussions... well, then the entire forum is full of empty discussions.
