Orcs – discussion about the race. Auto-translated

Okay... So I'll find out how other players level up their Dark Elf heroes. I'll compare it to my leveling plan and figure out what to do, because in the future, I might have to play against an Orc (with a Whirlwind Major skill).

I generate Rage quite quickly! I take Sharp Mind, and at the beginning of the battle, I already have around 200 Rage points, then I use some kind of shout, and I have level 1. And then someone comes to get beaten up... I would write out my entire strategy, but my main opponent would find out, and it wouldn't be interesting... But believe me, the damage will be colossal... I've already given a lot of hints; they should have figured it out by now...

I couldn't manage to defeat him in the Dungeon... I mean, the Wyvern Master. I tried with several heroes, but none of them succeeded. Although, he only had goblins left.

I easily defeat Synitar, Shaka, and Karukath (player vs. player). I've tried many times, and it always works. :)

Okay, I'll list a few things, even though I don't play as the Academy very often, and usually play against them.

First, spellpower with amazing Chaos Magic, which can eliminate a lot of Orcs or significantly reduce their blood level.
Second, elemental (by the way, enhanced in Tribes of the East) chains, which provide a decent bonus to damage, which can be very useful for reducing the Orcs' rage.
Third, greater initiative, plus the ability to buy cool artifacts in the city, including initiative artifacts, to achieve a truly significant advantage. Oh, and from the attack branch, the speed spell, which also won't hurt against Orcs.
Fourth, hit-and-run tactics, as well as "sending" hero-kamikazes, trained in chaos thanks to the "mentor" skill of the main hero, to weaken the opponent before the final battle.

I think that's enough to give the Orcs a good fight. But if anyone can add anything else, feel free to do so. I'm not an expert on the Academy.

When I played against Dungeon, he had a staff (-20% enemy initiative) + a ring (+10% initiative) + 3 or 4 dragon artifacts; I had a combined artifact weapon of power (-10% to me) + a ring (+10% initiative) – it’s not hard to calculate..., but my daughters attacked immediately after the Fury, and then immediately after that, the Executioners! Amazing :)

Regarding Chaos, I had a placeholder.

I know all about the chains and magic. I played as Letos against Goshak, and my abilities were: Dark Magic, Chaos Magic, Attack, Education, and Sorcery. We were both level 27. My artifacts were: a staff (-20% chance to be attacked), a ring of swiftness, a dragon necklace, a dragon crown, a dragon shield, and a phoenix cloak. Goshak's faction had the following abilities: Attack, Luck, Logistics, Chaos Negation, and Leadership. His artifacts were: a lion cloak, a lion necklace, a clover, a runic axe, two rings of swiftness, and armor (+1 to knowledge, +1 to defense). Letos: 16 attack, 4 defense, 22 spellpower, 15 knowledge, 1 morale, 0 luck. Goshak: 22 attack, 21 defense, 8 spellpower, 3 knowledge, 7 morale, 3 luck. My Shock spell dealt 2k damage, and I also had spells like Inspire and Blind. But somehow (probably due to his morale), his troops moved very often, and he also used a War Cry spell that gave +4 to morale. I have a lot more to write, so I'll save the game and send it to you later so you can see for yourself! And regarding artifacts that reduce the chance to be attacked: I only found a staff in the shop.

As I understand it, you were playing on a random map generator... Then you'll have to share the map too! ;) But go ahead and share it, I'm curious myself. If I can win, I'll post a recording of the battle; if not, I'll try to give some advice...

The Spirit in the Tribes of the East can now be more than 5, but its effect will be the same as 5. The extra is there in case the enemy reduces the Spirit.

For level 27, the spellpower is a bit low; it seems you weren't very lucky... At that level, 30 is quite possible.

Letos is a rather weak hero; he essentially has one skill slot wasted on a useless ability. And without luck, you won't get far. Especially against Orcs.
Try playing against the AI in a duel with a Sinister.

Try playing against the AI with Sinister in a duel.

I've played, and I don't see anything wrong with it!
When playing against Nimue (in my opinion, one of Sinister's strongest opponents), Sinister determines the outcome of the battle. Let me explain for those who don't understand: Sinister goes first - I cast Meteor Shower; if I'm lucky, I win; if not, I lose.

Lethos is a weak hero; he has one slot that is essentially filled with a useless skill. And without luck, he's nowhere. Especially against Orcs.

I don't see anything wrong with that: he goes first, the battle also practically depends on him; if he's lucky and inflicts plague on many units, then the outcome of the battle will be 80% in his favor.

Well, it's not that bad, especially if there are towns or guilds on the map; combining darkness with chaos can be quite effective. Subjugating Executioners is tough, but subjugating Free Cyclops is even tougher, although it's unlikely anyone would use them against a Dark Mage... I agree that having luck on your side with a Lucky Wizard would be very helpful. It might be worth trying a hit-and-run strategy, although I haven't personally tried it...

Vaishan, try setting yourself a goal – to defeat Sinithar, the Orc hero, in a duel, and keep playing until you succeed. I think you'll eventually win. And when you're in a hopeless situation, cast an enhanced Armageddon; there might be a chance to win, even if you end up without any troops, but you'll still win!!! The computer did that to me once))) Or maybe I'm mistaken; perhaps the computer still had troops left, but it came up with a great strategy, and luck even played a role...

Plague deals little damage. Plus, it might not affect the units you want it to. And dark magic spells aren't that easy to find. Besides, dark magic isn't the specialty of dark elves. When I said "against the AI," I meant against Shaq Karukata controlled by the AI. He has too many troops. By the time you finish off his pao-kai, you'll be out of mana, and he has a full set of orcish artifacts. Sinister also has some, but what good are they if he doesn't have the "Sense Magic" skill?

I meant against Shaka Karukata controlled by the AI.

Then Haggeш easily wins, I've tested it myself.

Who is he? Sinistar? I haven't played against a human player, but I easily won against the AI as Haggeesh, playing as Sinistar.

It's not even worth playing against the computer! You'll win 90% of the time (if you know how to play). For example, I always beat any opponent (playing as the Stronghold, of course). With a live opponent, everything is unpredictable. And regarding Lethos against the Orcs, it's a good strategy! He starts by using poison to reduce their attack power. Shadarr knew I would take the Silence spell, so he chose two schools of magic. I think he acted correctly; it's just that the Orcs are very strong!
