Posts from In which city is the alt upgrade more balanced? Auto-translated

Regarding the mage mujahideen, their ability to defend against magic is extremely useful, but as warriors, they are definitely inferior. You can use a small squad purely for defense; I think it will work against neutrals, although at first, I thought the upgrade was useless without Fireball!

Haha, but at least they don't hit their own units with their arrows :) That makes up for a lot, you know. Anyway, with an increasing number of mages, of any kind, the usefulness of their damage spells decreases, while the usefulness of a regular shot increases. Plus, there's luck.

Orcs have the best balance; it's a race where you really need to think about which units to choose! Only the wyvern alternative makes me hesitate; I prefer vultures (this will be especially useful against Necropolis – poison doesn't work). Otherwise, it's great. Humans are unbalanced – perhaps you only need to think about it when using an angel. The gnome alternative isn't much better; only the last three types are truly balanced. For mages, the alternative is only gargoyles and rakshasa. Inferno and Elves – the alternative upgrades are better; there's no balance. Dark Elves – here, a real choice has appeared: invisibility is a scourge against neutrals – archers and mages, and shooting is also good:smile08:.

They only avoid hitting units standing right next to them, but otherwise, it's the same as usual. And does what's written about the spell enhancement actually work?

The dwarves are a bit unbalanced, but they are playable. Level 1: The new upgrades are better! Level 2: The old one is slightly better due to the crippling wounds, but the pull effect is also good. Level 3: Well-balanced, we'll swap the knockback for a bear roar. Level 4: The Arcat warriors will be better due to killing large creatures. At level 5, the old priests are better, as it's better to attack standing together than one, and fire resistance is so-so. Level 6 is fully balanced, either lightning or fire, but the chain lightning is still better. And finally, level 7, no question, the old Magmatic is better! The fire shield kills more people than the dragon itself!

The shield deals 40% (if I'm not mistaken) of the damage that the creature inflicts on the dragon. How can this kill more units? But in general, the old upgrade is definitely better. Although, there is a counter to them – black dragons.

strengthening spells - I don't know, I haven't seen such an ability at all. Or maybe I've just forgotten.
3DogMZA - level 1, I agree, I won't say about the second one. I tested both archers. Crippling is only good at the beginning. But while there are few warriors, it doesn't trigger often. When there are a lot of soldiers, wounding is almost not needed anymore :) there, the soldier's effect depends on the number of troops. And the new ones are much better. The old ones have 2-3 damage, the new ones have 2-5 :)
3 are equivalent, 4 - I never build them, but if I were to build them, I would build the new ones)
5 - rather the new ones than the old ones. Because fireball combined with the fire mark is cool :) therefore, on level 6, I build fire lords - because they cast this very mark)
on level 7, the new ones are more interesting, I build them just because of that=)

Here's a more calm explanation. For example, if someone attacks a dragon, the shield can deal more damage than the dragon's counterattack. :)
You shouldn't build level 4 Lockens. There are many of them, almost as many as level 2. :) By the way, you have a cool avatar. :)

Here's how it works calmly. For example, if someone attacks a dragon, the shield can strike harder than the dragon can retaliate. :)
Loken, you shouldn't be building level 4 units. There are many of them, almost as many as level 2 units. :) By the way, you have a cool avatar. :)

Exactly, no one engages dragons in melee combat; they try to take them down with archers and the hero!!! I use level 4 units for the Dwarves to guard my castle, and I always reserve an empty slot in my army in case I need to recruit neutral units!!!

Haven is more appealing than it seems.

I like Haven more than it seems.

The topic is about something else; read carefully!

MZA, the hero doesn't have enough resources for the most essential things. I'm not even talking about Zerks or Arcatrons, which cost a fortune and die easily.
So, level 4 Dwarves – that's not my path. I tried playing, building a strategy around them... but it didn't work out.

In my opinion, Elves (although I voted for Mages), let's remember Nymphs and Ents.

My IMHO: The balance wasn't preserved in *any* faction (new units are much stronger) except for two: Haven and Stronghold. Well, with Haven, everything is clear - you defend with white-clad units, you attack with red-clad units. And Stronghold turned out to be balanced, maybe because it's a new faction. And even then, there's a slight advantage towards the second set of units (like the Paoka, Free Cyclops, etc.).

I'm for NECROPOLIS; it seems better to me there!:smile13:
