Posts from Which Castle do you prefer to play as?

I don't want to offend anyone, but it seems to me that the secret of "falling in love" with a particular city also lies in age. :)

In that case, it probably depends more on personality.

Monarch, don't be so literal. For some reason, everyone understands what they mean, but you're just being stubborn and arguing.
NO, CHEATING IS ONLY DONE THROUGH NON-GAMEPLAY METHODS.
What difference does it make how, if it creates an imbalance in the game?
EVERYONE understands this, except you.

TMNT, you're also being ridiculous. You brought up those dragons again. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU RECRUIT!!
If your opponent has +100 Cyclops or 250 Gorgons, will it be easier for you? No way! It doesn't matter who joins, in the early stages of the game, you'll be overwhelmed even by 100 Golden Elves!

And by the way... Maxed-out diplomacy allows you to recruit some types of troops - for free.

Judging by the last two pages, Monarch can confidently compete for the world championship in Heroes 3).
2TMNT: The phrase about XL in a month was hilarious)). Of course, if you create a map, like many available online, with 4 trees and two rocks on 144 squares), then yes, it's possible in a month. But otherwise, you simply won't have time to reach the enemy if they are far enough away from you.
By the way, a question for those in the know: is there any resource that provides information about world championships in Heroes? If so, please provide a link (I'm not participating :)).
Regarding the topic: An experienced player doesn't care which Castle they play, because they are experienced enough to see the advantages where others see the disadvantages).

Where do you get such crazy numbers from???!!! 100 elves, okay, but 100 cyclops??? Alright, let's assume they're guarding something. If they're guarding something important, then they're aggressive and won't join you under any circumstances!

Beware, today imbalance equals cheating, tomorrow happiness equals joy, and you'll be unhappy forever!

It seems you haven't played Heroes very much.

Let me reveal a secret.
On day 1, 20 Cyclops guard something (let's say, a Book of Earth).
Since the weekly growth rate hasn't been canceled, the number of Cyclops gradually increases. By the end of the first month, there are already about 50 of them... and so on. Since I constantly play on XL, by the time the main game starts, there are already a considerable number of these Cyclops... and the hero with diplomacy can get them for free (very often, of course, there are cases when they join for money or simply run away).
That's where these numbers come from.

Believe me, even if you're playing on M and your opponent has 20-30 more Griffins, he'll completely dominate you! =)

Doesn't a character change with age??? :) :) :)

Dude, I just said that if they're guarding something, they're bloodthirsty! And there's no way they'll join, whether you pay them or not.

I've been playing them since they first came out!
