Posts from Discussion about Sylvan (Wood Elves).
Archers huddle in a corner with ents and fairies (or dancers) and calmly shoot...
I wanted to mention antimagic right away. :)
I'm saying that against summoning archers, they always block with their own units so that troops aren't summoned right next to them (or in the early game, they leave one space for a devil, demon, or dog, which is then destroyed in the first turn to allow the archers to shoot).
And the rest is just "what if," or someone might say there's an imbalance between elves and demons?

In my opinion, the word "imbalance" doesn't apply to a game like Heroes at all. I think all the factions are perfectly balanced.
Well, to be honest, the balance is questionable, but you can still play:)
P.S.
Regarding the Succubus: compare their initiative to the new archers; most likely, they won't have time to seduce anyone:)
But if a faction has a lot of initiative, then...
it's not just demons that will have a hard time.

1. The chances of skills appearing are buggy. 4% for a relevant magic skill – it’s almost impossible to get...
2. There isn’t a single promising hero besides Wing. Logistics, Machines, or Chaos are not included in the starting skills of the Rangers, unlike other races...
3. The Elves’ starting conditions are roughly the same as the Demons’ – terrible. Compare it to the League’s start...
4. Elven Luck is a complete misunderstanding. If you need specific numbers, I’ll write in more detail. Besides, Elven Luck and Chaos Luck are incompatible...
5. Chaos Luck is just ridiculous. Why it doesn’t work with Enchanted Arrow is unclear...
And I haven’t even delved deeper – I haven’t touched the racial skill yet...

The Elven start is roughly similar to the Demon start - it's not very good...
Still, the Elven start is much better than the Demon start.
The spell "Chain Lightning" is amazing. It's unclear why it doesn't work with "Enchanted Arrow"...
You're asking for too much from the poor Elves. If a lucky wizard could combine it with an arrow, there would be no saving yourself from the Elves!

A fly in the ointment.
1. The chances of skill acquisition are buggy. 4% for a core magic skill is practically non-existent...
2. There isn't a single promising hero besides Wing. Logistics, Mechanics, or Chaos are not included in the starting skills of Rangers, unlike other races...
3. The Elves' starting position is roughly the same as the Demons' - it's terrible. Compare it to the League's starting position...
4. Elven Luck is a complete misunderstanding. If you need specific numbers, I'll write in more detail. Besides, Elven Luck and Champion's Luck are incompatible...
5. Champion's Luck is just... something. Why it doesn't work with Enchanted Arrow is unclear...
And this is just scratching the surface - I haven't even touched the racial skill yet.
1. I agree, it's a bit too little.
2-3. Chaos isn't needed from the start. And regarding the heroes - if you give a Light Elf a Mechanic, it would be an overpowered cheat. They already start very well (not as well as the High Elves, but much better than the Demons - Dryads are great).
4. Could you elaborate? I haven't calculated it, but it seems pretty good to me. If you combine Elven Luck and Champion's Luck, it would be too strong:smile13:
5. I don't understand why they gave it to everyone, as it was the High Elves' trump card:smile48: But seriously, it would be strange if a perk triggered on another perk.

But I disagree about the ballista (specifically against demons)... let the Elf hero pump up Chaos skills, give the ballista enchanted arrows, and the nasty imp will suck up all the mana at the beginning (well, of course, you can shoot them with archers, but then the temptresses will recruit them, or the demonesses will hit hard).
Regarding the Elf's Stronghold... it's fun to constantly rely on luck, and you'll have to develop skills properly. But then you'll have to forget about the Elf's special ability or cast Divine Retribution on the arrow if it's available (unlikely).
I don't understand why they gave it to everyone, because it was a trump card for the Tribes of the East.

You are absolutely right. I was also disappointed that the Creature Upgrade is now available to everyone. Otherwise, the Elves would have been simply AMAZING.
What bothers me is not so much the fact that the Creature Upgrade is available to everyone (it's useless for Haven or the Gnomes), but the fact that it's available to the Academy. Although Elves with alt-druids can also be quite powerful, I prefer the old, reliable light and Elven luck for them.

Yeah, you can't argue with that. Elves, in my opinion, have the best starting position.
This is pure nonsense. I understand that the urge to write something is strong, but I simply can't handle such nonsense...

Regarding the Elemental Upgrade (EU). Calculate it yourself. EU increases damage by 12.5% when luck is successful, right? 225 relates to 200 in this way.
Now let's calculate all this with luck = 5.
In 50% of cases, luck will trigger. That is, the average damage will be:
(100 + 225)/2 = 162.5%. And with luck without EU, we have:
(100 + 200)/2 = 150.0%
Now let's calculate - how much did the EU increase our damage?
162.5 divided by 150.0 gives us only 1.08(3).
Wonderful - an 8% increase in damage. While Cold Steel and Fire Wrath give 10%. And Retribution - up to 25%.
Any more questions? I'll answer them.

For example, about the priority magic schools, about the starting skills of heroes in relation to the path to the Castle, about the distinctive feature of the Elves' racial skill, in comparison with the racial skills of other factions, and so on.
