Posts from The most UNPOPULAR faction in Heroes 5.

My least favorite race is Humans. They're just too generic. There are only two creatures, and one of them looks exactly like a human. And all the other levels feature humans... It gets boring.

My least favorite race is Humans. It's just too generic. There are only two creatures, and one of them has a completely human appearance. And all the other levels are basically humans... It gets boring.

But how do you imagine the Human race without humans to a greater extent?:) Humans are generally quite ordinary creatures in life, not just in the game (IMHO ;)), but it would be strange if the units of Haven were... hmm... I can't even think of who could be there instead of the various humans:)

If we're talking about banality, we can also include the Dwarves here. They are also people (6 of them), just older, with beards, and dressed differently. (They are almost the same size because the developers did a poor job with the humans... giants don't count, nor do dwarves)...
By the way, we can also consider Necromancers as being the same! After all, they are all corpses! Skeletons, liches - these are human bones; ghosts are also bones, just flying. A vampire is a recently deceased person; a zombie is a long-deceased person, and he was very sick, which is why he is so bloated. In principle, banshees also have human skulls, so they are also dead people who fly like ghosts.

P.S. We won't touch on the Barbarians, just like we won't touch on the Griffins of the Humans.

Yes, I agree. Saying that Humans are boring just because they have 5 units is silly. So what if they are Humans? At least each one does their own job! Each one has their own skill.

Don't say that! After all, these are mythical beings, and their mythologies are different: skeletons and zombies are just simple undead, spirits are restless souls, vampires are neither humans nor undead, and they also feed on blood, liches are decayed mages, or mages whose souls were consumed by magic, the undead are death itself, and dragons are just dragons)))
You can judge all races in the same way: elves, undead, gnomes, etc., but humans are humans, their "professions" are just different. Some will strike and stun, some will pray to a god and have the enemy punished, some will ride on horseback. In my opinion, it's monotonous, but I have nothing against the existence of this race, because without it, heroes wouldn't be heroes.

And I don't. I explained why humans and everything else. But, for example, the forest/dark elves look more interesting in terms of creatures. Demons are just a collection of creatures of different shapes and sizes.

Well, in the end, shouldn't we add a unit like the ballista from the fourth game? There's nothing particularly original to come up with, people are people everywhere. And it's at least silly to dislike people just for being people. (Don't get me wrong, Vaishan, I'm not implying that you're stupid.) But, for example, disliking them for being very bad mages is perfectly normal.
As for my least favorite race... I don't even know... I can't say for sure. There aren't any, there are only favorites, but overall, I play as mages the least often (I don't really like them because of their low attack and defense).

I don't dislike people because they are people, but because of the way the entire race is organized. I simply don't like the creatures they have. But generally speaking, why do some players in Heroes dislike certain factions and prefer others? From a balance perspective, they are all equal, and if you don't like it, just don't play it. But since there is such a topic, why not share your opinion...

Yeah, there are still people who choose their favorite factions based on how scary they are and how many monsters they have, right?)))))))))))
I don't like Haven just because it's already bored me. It has incredibly tedious campaigns in two expansions. And these are the very first ones. I've played them so much that I won't be playing as Haven again anytime soon. That's why I don't like it.
And also, Inquisitors are terrible.

Loken
The campaigns are generally boring because the first ones are always easy... and the developers are to blame for that...
But the faction itself is good, and there's no need to criticize it... and why are the Incas considered weak? Maybe you're the one who's weak? You're saying that without providing any arguments... It's a good unit that fits well into the Haven army, and it has suitable skills... buffer + archer + decent warrior (HP, attack, no penalty)

The only downside of the Incas, and other human units (maybe except for angels), is their graphical design... they were poorly drawn.

And do you think I didn't like people from the very beginning? No, at first everything was fine, but then it got boring due to the monotony. And I chose my current favorite race (Dark Elves) because the creatures don't get boring, and Chaos magic is awesome.

Inferno and Mages are complete garbage!!!!!
Mages only have decent units in the form of Titans and Rakshasa...
The hero's mana will eventually run out, no matter what.
You have to search for a magic well after every serious battle...

Mana is unlikely to run out, as education is the main parameter for mages! What spells do you use in every battle that cause the mana to run out??? If you play on a large map against a slow opponent, the mages will accumulate a very large amount of mana!

I agree, whenever I played as mages, there was always plenty of mana, enough to last through the winter! And the same goes for Necropolis; there was never a shortage of mana, and what about large-scale battles? When the enemy either runs to you or you run to them, it means the castle is nearby, and therefore, there's mana... But if things weren't like that, then it's worth looking for a solution, which would also be an adventure))) But to scream: "THERE'S NO MANA!!! IT'S A COMPLETE MESS!!!" - that never happened; there was always a way out.

mages don't have mana problems, but I wouldn't say the same about necromancers... I'm playing through the campaign for Markel, and he had 15 in spell power and 3 in knowledge, with 6-8 in attack and defense... towards the end, they only started giving him knowledge...

// sorry for the off-topic

are we all slowly turning into Faidaen? "did you say something about Haven? seriously, Haven is awesome! yeah! Haven is awesome!" The race is good, did I say that about all of them? Only about the Incas. Okay, here are some facts: expensive, not very angry, the damage isn't great, there's no penalty, and that's good, but you can't fight with that. In my opinion, it's only good for buffing. And it seems like they removed the Bloodlust ability. So, agree... and indeed, the animation and the model itself are only more or less decent for the non-greened version. Here are the infamous facts. Of course, this is just my opinion. But still. Is the question answered?
