Here, each option is debatable. Some like harpies, others prefer nomads, cyclops, orcs, birds, or beasts. It seems only the Stronghold faction has such a diverse range of creatures? In other factions, the choices are more consistent...

It's not a given that the Grail even exists. But you definitely need a tactic, otherwise what's the point of the hero? The army is one thing, but what's the point if he just fights alongside them on equal footing? Or maybe scouting is useful. As a last resort, you could also go for Nobility. Then the growth will be insane!!!

for me, all races have a wide range of stats, except for life.

And you're still asking?!!!!
Of course, strength!!
And instead of healing, the Barbarian buys a bunch of potions!

If there are many of them, it's deadly. Also, you can create them from other units using the "Vampire Touch" spell. I usually do this to my hero.

It looks especially good on Berserkers and Thunderbirds. And the Barbarian heroes are just awesome! Especially if you find a Soul Eater.

A deadly combination is a Barbarian who also knows life magic))) and if it's death-vampirism - that's TERRIBLE)))))

Regarding leveling up the Barbarian's ranged combat and other related skills... from my small experience, I can say that there simply isn't time for that. I immediately level up armor and melee combat – the effect is noticeable! If there is time left, then magic resistance. About Berserkers – it used to annoy me that they attacked without orders. But then it became amusing. You get this picture: the Berserkers run at the forefront of the attack, and the rest (a typical scene for the beginning of the game) – the hero-Barbarians and Centaurs run as fast as they can behind them to also take part in the battle. It turns out to be such a rapid Barbarian attack. The only difference is that it's not you who gave the signal, but the Berserkers. I disagree with the statement about Pandora being one-sided. Of course, everyone has their own opinion, but I always find it amusing when a Barbarian deals with a crowd of creatures on his own or with the help of his hero-Barbarian friends. Added 2 minutes later When a Barbarian fights, you immediately remember the song "Oh, how Vasya kicks!"

Yes! )) I also experience this at the beginning of the game. Berserkers run ahead, and the rest follow, helping out! ))
P.S. I usually level up his combat and tactical skills, if the map allows it.

I prefer to upgrade ranged combat rather than melee, although in certain situations, this is not the right approach. Berserker is, as usual, in the lead; the hero shoots, and the centaurs wait for the enemy to get closer. (it all depends on the enemy, of course).

I prefer to level up ranged combat rather than melee, although in certain situations, this is not the right approach.

I, on the other hand, prefer to level up melee combat first. Although in certain situations, this is also not the right approach, as there might not be enough experience left for ranged combat later. In general, a Barbarian should at least know Tactics to some extent. And this "extent" is roughly equivalent to the III circle.

Tactics are a very useful skill, but personally, I only level up tactics when I'm playing as Haven. Otherwise, I play solo, and it doesn't matter what my morale or luck is; it's always positive. Which skill should you level up first: melee or ranged combat? I think it depends on the enemy. Sometimes, ranged combat can help against ranged units and lightly armored units that won't let you get close, thanks to their long-range attacks. If you level up melee, it's not that useful until you reach the enemy, especially if they're ranged. You can lose a lot of HP, and then you have to be glad if you have a potion of immortality. But, it's up to the player to choose which skill to level up first.

I chose harpies, cyclops, and monsters.

Nomad, cyclops, bird. The bird is especially enjoyable. And which one do you choose more often, the cyclops or the harpy, and why?

Nomad-cyclops-bird... I can rarely capture a harpy.
