Posts from Heroes of the Academy - Academy

Each race has its strengths and weaknesses at different stages of the game. For example, Wizards are strong towards the end of the game (more knowledge, stronger mini-units, and a stronger army overall), while Warlocks are strong in the early stages (Assassin is the best ranged unit and a first-level unit, and their magic is also powerful)!

Each race is strong or weak at a certain stage. For example, Wizards are strong towards the end of the game (more knowledge and stronger mini-units and the entire army), while Warlocks are strong in the early stages (Assassin is the best ranged unit and a first-level unit, and their magic is powerful)!

And I didn't say that Wizards are weak or that Dungeon is strong in the late game; I just pointed out that your example is incorrect when identifying strength/weakness.

P.S. The strongest first-level ranged units are Goblins. There are simply too few Assassins. But they are strong primarily as stalkers – this is a devastating creep in the first weeks. And after watching battles where a group of stalkers fights against 100 Yetis or 4 against 657 Phoenixes, I felt very sorry for the other races.

Which heroes do you play as? I, for example, play as the ORC!

Against a computer-controlled Warlock, my choice is Jalib. In rush-style games, I choose Haviz.

I like many of the heroes from the Academy. I would like to mention a hero (I don't know the name) who has an ability to restore mana with each turn in battle. But this is useful on small maps.

Razazak is good; if you give him the March of the Golems spell + speed miniaut, + machine loyalty, and a speed aura, it will be very effective. And, of course, Oora.
In general, many of the mages are good.

The best hero in the Academy is (I don't remember the exact name, it varies in different versions) either Hafiz or Hazif... Anyway, he's a Gremly specialist. He appears, and there are already about 90 of them. You can hire more in the castle and take them from another hero. So, on the first day, you have about 120-130 Gremly. Plus, a Ballista, with the Combat Machines skill. By level 5, the Ballista deals significant damage, so playing with him on smaller maps is the most sensible option.

On medium-sized maps, Nazir is great (with the Fireball specialization)! The damage becomes quite good, even very good, and it's hard to counter. Rush-Hafiz is a clear choice; I generally like starting with this hero (meaning when he's a secondary hero). He has a ballista, and since I develop the Archery skill, and that skill needs the Machine ability, even without magic at level 22, the blessing helps a bit. Late game, definitely Yora! He moves frequently, so he's a good choice.

Best: Hafiz (preferably, just quickly level him up), Oora (in my opinion, a unique ability), Razak...

Hmm... I guess this is one of the scenarios where I always use different heroes... but most often Or and Nazira (at the beginning).
P.S. Razaz + "March of the Golems" is also cool!

I like the Raziel faction the most; there are no problems with clearing maps, and he is simply a strong hero. I usually play as him. When choosing golems at the beginning, I still choose combat golems, but closer to the end, I switch to obsidian golems.

I'd venture to say that Hafiz's early game clear is better than Razzak's. 80 Gremlochs do their job. But in the mid-game, Razzak's hit-and-run strategy becomes very powerful. He can only use new Gargoyles and Obsidian Golems, along with some support mages in the back.

Hafiz is rushing, he has a suitable build and a great start!

He might be good at the start, but not good enough to give up on Razzak. And as mentioned, he's best for hit-and-run tactics, but Orcs are also decent; initiative is what really matters.

This is clearly demonstrated by the example of the Ora-Nimus duel server.

In some cases, Ora-Nimus compensates for the cost of Incense + Golemageddon... And the turrets increase the damage dealt to the enemy...

This is clearly demonstrated by the example of the Ora-Nimus duel server.

I prefer Jalib in duels; he is stronger than both Ora and Razzak.
