Against Necropolis, most dark magic spells are ineffective.
And as some people write, archers should be taken out first.

Yes, you're probably right (+1). But I'm saying this because I know what Haven is capable of; with skillful play, you can give everyone a hard time.
But what if you play Inferno correctly? Can you sense where the fairness lies! Each faction, whether it's Orcs, Inferno, Haven, or others, can overcome any challenge with the right development.

Mages ban summoners (+), counter spells (+), mages have very strong mini-arts (+), a large army (+3 arrows), which means it's harder to play against them, but easier, I think, against a Warlock (because he has a weak army).

Hmm... in general, you're right! And regarding Warlocks, they aren't exactly Necromancers, and they seem very vulnerable to elemental spells.

Weak?! What about the Assassin having 17 HP (while a Lizard has 60), or the damage of the Furies. This race is weak in terms of creature growth. But you can't expect everything at once.
And regarding demons – any race can be defeated.

Necromancers might be weak against elemental magic, but the Necropolis army will be 3-4 times larger, and the ratio of Assassins vs. Skeleton Archers (if you play for 3 in-game months) will be approximately 1:8 (in favor of the skeletons)!

It’s more difficult against another demon. Because the chain effect from the Demoness’s shots won’t work on it.

The Inferno faction is strong against the Necropolis faction. If you choose the hero Deleb and develop him significantly in the first month, you can make any faction work. Of course, this requires proper tactical management on the battlefield. The Inferno faction is most challenging against the Sylvan faction, but there is a strategy for that as well.

In reality, it all comes down to tactics; you can lose to the weakest army or win against the strongest...

In my opinion, it's tough to play against Elves! They have so many archers – a whole wagonload! (They're strong!!!) AWFUL!!!

In my opinion, demons are a perfectly viable faction if developed correctly; they won't be inferior to anyone. Demons develop Chaos magic, so enemy archers aren't as scary as they might seem. The main thing is to learn how to play as them and be patient!!! (large-scale battles are not recommended in the first two weeks!!! and not even small-scale ones, really.)

Demons are difficult to fight against Town. They can quickly defeat an authorized soul with a meteor, and that's it – everyone is doomed.

It's difficult to play against the Elves. They can cast Meteor Shower and wipe everyone out.
In that case, it's difficult for any race to play against the Elves :) And the high initiative of the demon creatures won't allow the Warlock to cast many spells before the battle ends. I don't think he's a very dangerous enemy for demons.

Demonlight, the problem with demons is actually in the early game, as they have the most difficult start of all the races (although alt-demons partially fixed the problem). Perhaps for this reason, demons don't have many fans. And regarding Chaos, I'm surprised. Is that with the demon's spellpower? How much will you be able to cast? I hope it's at least over 10...

Well, it depends on who you ask. In general, the five heroes were designed so that any faction can win against any other, as long as they develop properly. I agree with those who say that. And in theory, even Haven can defeat Inferno. The main thing is to avoid having Nightmares and Cerberuses go first, and instead use Paladins, with Axel's Guardian being the best. I remember him defeating Marbas in a duel on 3.0. Paladins don't suffer losses; we can resurrect them with Archangels. Also, don't forget about the spells Holy Word and Unholy Word. Max out Holy Word for all light factions. So, even a professional player using Inferno against a professional player using Haven can lose. Inferno excels in offense, while Haven excels in defense. So, let's give them a solid defense and a skillful counterattack ability.

I don't usually play as demons, but when I played against them with dwarves, it was quite challenging. Therefore, I believe that dwarves are not their strongest counter.
