In your opinion, which race is stronger in Heroes of Might and Magic V?
Well, Dwarves have always been and remain the strongest, with their spellcasting. Now, in version 3.0, Dwarves are the coolest, followed by Demons (Nimues). In general, Dwarves and Demons, and Warlocks are equal in strength; some excel with runes, others with summoning troops. Then comes Necropolis, which is equal in strength to the Light Elves and Mages. Warlocks are also very strong (honestly, you could say they are the coolest, with their ability to overcome magical defenses). Orcs rely on their rage, but otherwise, they are not very effective in 3.0. Humans can be said to be almost the weakest.
P.S.: And you're wrong to criticize the Order! You probably just haven't met a player who knows how to play the Order well. And may you never meet one! :smile21:
P.P.S.: But in general, I like them all:smile14:

Haven is still the best faction – thanks to its training. Who else can produce so many units when they have gold?
Haven is still the best faction – thanks to training. Who else can produce so many high-level units if they have enough gold? Although, if other castles, say, the Dungeon, had the same training hall, it would be even more awesome – turning all assassins into witches!
Actually, Haven isn't the best because there's such a thing as balance. Their magic is the weakest (orcs don't count), and their initiative isn't very high (an initiative of 8 for an archer is a nightmare), although the hero's combat stats are quite high. Training is indeed not cheap. An experienced player won't give you the opportunity to train a decent army; the ability is certainly useful, but within reasonable limits. In general, a similar situation will arise if, in a long game, a mage fully equips creatures with mini-artifacts with 30 points of Order knowledge; this will give him a decent advantage in battle.
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
