The most UNPOPULAR faction in Heroes 5. Auto-translated

no need for that, okay? someone decided to be witty here...
just choose more appropriate expressions next time (without being rude) and preferably provide arguments for your statements...

they might be expensive...
and no one is forcing anyone to fight. I mean, they can defend themselves in melee combat and be used as infantry when the main forces have been depleted and there are few troops left... maybe for defense and so on.

dark elves.
the castle is completely unappealing. and there are few ranged units, too xD

I never play as Mages, Demons, or Humans, except for the campaigns, of course. I don't like Mages because almost all of their units move very slowly. Watching this animation gets tiresome, like when a gargoyle flies across the map, and so on. It's just annoying.
Demons and Humans are simply not very interesting on their own. Also, I don't like that Demons only have one ranged unit.

Dark Elves.

Really? There are 2, just like in most other factions. Unless you're using the second tier of scouts and witches. But no one is forcing you to do that, right?
And I think the castle is quite nice. Although, of course, that's just my personal opinion.

Watching this animation gets tiresome; it takes forever for the gargoyle to fly over. It's just annoying.

Increase the animation speed; it helps!;)

Well, I think everything is already set to the maximum, although I should check. In any case, they will move slower than the others ;)

I won't argue about the castle, as it's a subjective opinion. Although, I'll add that the castle is very beautiful, and everything, including the music, perfectly fits the concept of the Dungeon. As for the ranged units... yes, that's true. There are only two of them (do I really need to explain this?). And one of them has a unique ability - poison. How many more are needed? Only the Mages have more ranged units.

if you have the animation set to the maximum and you still think the speed is too low... then you must have some superhuman motor skills oO
although what's really annoying is the new gargoyles. They somehow fly even slower. I'm already used to the old ones.

regarding the dungeon - the music is great, but there are too few details, just stalactites everywhere. Nevertheless, this dungeon is my favorite ;)

Arandor, I wasn't trying to be sarcastic anywhere, nor was I being rude. Still, you have to agree that out of all the human warriors, these are among the least useful. They never really stand out. Buff something. Kill a dozen skeletons. Spend a lot of money on hiring them. That's pretty much all they do. There's no point in having too many of them. And in small numbers, they aren't very effective. Well, basically, they're like the new shamans. Just more expensive and they don't debuff. Although, when you have a lot of money, they show themselves in a better light - demonstrating diligence and performing wonders of bravery, they get a horse and a spear.

I don't like the Stronghold and Inferno factions! They are too evil, and their appearance isn't very appealing!

shddr, I completely agree. I'll add Necromancers as well. I want something good. Peace. Beauty. No, I'm not denying that you can find beauty in Necropolis too – Gothic architecture and, in general, black is the most stylish color... but my IMHO doesn't allow me to play as the evil faction.

Necromancers are evil? Where did you find the evil in them? They are no more evil than the Mages... IMHO.

Are Necromancers evil? Where did you find the evil in them? They are not more evil than other mages... IMHO.

Necromancers are evil)))
and mages simply prioritize their own goals above everything else. They also prioritize themselves above others, but they are not evil... and I like that.

Nazgul, I don't deny that everything depends on the specific situation, where even necromancers can represent good forces, but wizards are more associated with good than necromancers. Take, for example, a skeleton and a gremlin... personally, a gremlin inspires more trust in me.

I don't like the Sylvan faction. No matter how many times I start a game with them, I never finish it. Heh, I've never even seen any other Sylvan units besides archers, swordsmen, and some other creatures whose name I don't remember. I've also seen unicorns, and that's it.

Well, let's not forget that necromancy is one of the schools of magic;) essentially: Necropolis and Academy have only slightly different ideologies, like for example, Orthodox and Catholic, but in essence, they are two of the closest races to each other.
The only evil race in HoMM is Inferno. Because the demons' goal is to destroy the world, but the goal of all other races is not.

As they say, you can't control your heart, so I've divided all the races into several categories, from least favorite to most favorite: 1.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Mages - they're weak, even though there are 3 archers in the castle. It's especially annoying that mages and archmages, when shooting, hit both their own and enemy units. 2.:mad: :mad: :mad: Orcs - yes, the race is generally not bad, but when a battle starts, I like to wait until the enemy units reach my lines, and before that, I try to weaken them as much as possible with magic and shoot them with archers. But here, the centaurs without an upgrade have only 6 hit points. Is that really a 2nd-level unit!? 3.:mad: :mad: Dwarves - runes are useless compared to magic, and their dragons are just too slow - by the time they reach the enemy, half of them will be defeated! 4.:mad: Elves - the "cursed healer" is too weak, and you constantly have to change targets, which is an unnecessary trip back to the castle. 5.:D Dark Elves - the growth rate is too small. I remember saving up for a serious battle to get a lot of assassins, I saved up 200 of them, and they were taken out and defeated, although I won the battle, but I was left without archers! 6.:D :D Undead - overall, everything is not bad, only the skeleton archers shoot very weakly, and dark energy runs out on the very first day. 7.:D :D :D Humans - super. They have peasants who give money, creatures that train, and excellent archers. My choice!!!!!
