Since we touched upon the topic of fighting neutrals, I'll share how I eliminate them. Against neutral archers, the following strategy works: use alt-grade unicorns, and if your guild has regeneration, deploy only unicorns, treants, and dryads in battle (although dryads are not essential). If you're playing, for example, as Wing, you need to add +1 speed to your troops, meaning either speed boots or a speed aura in leadership, and dancers, dryads, and unicorns can reach (or fly to) the last line of the neutral deployment (especially effective against archers and lightly armored creatures).

I would like to ask if the "Lucky Sorcerer" skill applies to destructive spells charged into an arrow or a ballista?
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.

I haven't checked, but in principle, it should work, since the spell is cast according to the usual rules. So, you can go for Sorcery if you want to rely entirely on magic. Although, it might not appear.
It didn't work in 2.1 (I installed it as a mod).
I haven't checked in 3.0 myself, but people said it doesn't work. And the mechanics probably haven't been changed.
By the way, the chance of getting Sorcery for a Ranger is 8%. It's more likely that Magic of Light won't appear, which has a 4% chance.
Yes, to avoid pointless arguments like "But in the Wheel of Fortune...", I'm saying that there's an error in the Wheel of Fortune. The information is taken from the game's resources.

Hmm... Light magic drops quite often, did they change the chance to 4%???
They even wrote in the changelog that the chance of Sorcery dropping was reduced from 8% to 4%, and the chance of Attack dropping was increased from 2% to 6%.
They must have made a mistake. They meant Sorcery, but made it Light. Attack was indeed increased to 6%.
And, by the way, there were cases when Light magic wouldn't drop no matter what... :(
Yes, here's the information from the resources (although the engine seems to be cutting off some parts, so I'll remove the symbols...):

I saw you on the Nival forum :) What do the developers say about this bug? When will the patch be released (and will it be released at all)? I just couldn't find anything in the search :( and I don't want to reread everything.
I just read your January post on the Hugo's forum :)

P.S. Vinrael is good, but it doesn't provide a bonus to troops, and the Elf's special ability isn't the best option for leveling up.
Vinrael is certainly good, but there's no bonus to troops.
Well, as they say, there's no accounting for taste. Everyone has their favorite hero.
