Posts from In your opinion, which faction is the strongest in Heroes 5? Let's discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each faction.Auto-translated
The only truly original faction is the Mages (excluding the cities in the sky). All the others are based on existing concepts. And the leader of the Mages is an original character.
But what about the Berserker? Do we not need him? :D
We do need him! But he's easier to catch – there are three Berserkers on level 4 in the light and three on level 5 in the darkness. The only thing that can prevent you from catching a Berserker is blindness.
Yes, it should be. But it's easier to catch him – there are three traps in the light on level 4 and three in the darkness on level 5, but only blindness can prevent catching a Berserker.
50% chance of catching a Berserker, versus 5/9 (~55%) chance of getting either antimagic or vampirism. So, what's easier? :)
Of course, it can be countered; I wrote that it cannot be dispelled, and that's important. A dispel can easily reduce initiative by half, but Berserk cannot. Out of habit, we apply Berserk so that it cannot be removed, at least until the first turn of the unit. Then, you remove it, and both sides have spent a turn, but only one has benefited. Of course, sometimes it's useful to apply Antimagic or Vampirism.

It's closer to 56%, but how many races do you level up Light and Dark magic simultaneously? And do you level them up simultaneously for a Knight, the only unit with Light and Dark in its guild? I don't think so, so the probability should still be estimated at 33%.

That's correct, but the Knight won't be able to hold out either. The Knight usually has one stack that has just finished training (either Imps or Paladins), and one of the immunities is immediately cast on this stack, if available. In the worst-case scenario, the Knight will receive one hit from his own units. This will interrupt the tactic.
Even closer to 56%, but how many races do you develop Light and Darkness simultaneously? And do you develop them simultaneously for the Knight, the only one in the guild who has Light and Darkness? I don't think so, so the probability should still be estimated at 33%.
No. I definitely don't develop two magics at the same time. Moreover, I will first level up the hero to level four, and only then will I start developing magic. If I see Antimagic, I will definitely choose Light; if I don't see it, I can level up one more time and see if Vampirism is available. If resources are scarce, there are two options: risk and develop Darkness, or give up and develop Luck and Resistance (if there are +10% boots, that's also an option).
I’ll probably express an idea that has already been mentioned here. All factions are equally strong; everything depends only on the hero's development, their skills, level, and artifacts.

This is indeed true, but I'll share my opinion! Maybe something is better, but I play as Sylvan!!!
Подумайте! Перед тем чтобы что-то делать...:smile39: :smile39:
Inferno has the ability to open gates, and when combined with Urgash's Call + wide gates + fast gate opening, it becomes a unique advantage. Also, they have Chaos and Darkness spells in their guild of mages, as well as a lot of knowledge. For example, at level 23, the hero had 190 mana.
Urgash's Call still needs to be researched; it's enough to destroy the initial units, and the summoned creatures will disappear on their own. :) 190 mana is, of course, good, but magic power is better! :) 100 is enough for one battle, and then the Warlocks use Dark Ritual. And the high spell power of the Warlocks, enhanced spells, wizard's luck, and meteor shower will wipe everyone out! :) Even mages won't be able to deflect Meteor Shower! :) High attack, powerful creatures of levels 1-4. :) The only drawback is low defense. :( But there is plenty of knowledge!
In my opinion, the Dark Elves have everything they need: they are good both as mages :smile54: and as decent warriors :smile54:. But I also want to note that Necromancers are also great :smile20:, especially in Heroes 5 and in the Hammers of Fate :smile24: :smile20: :smile54:.
I, for example, like the people. I really like their angels and paladins!! :smile54: :smile03:

Crossbowmen have one significant drawback: very low initiative. And, as a rule, when it comes to their turn, there are considerably fewer of them left than there were at the beginning of the battle. But with divine power and/or acceleration, they are truly a formidable weapon.
I AGREE. Once, I amassed over 600 crossbowmen, used divine power, and killed 2000 militia. :smile44:

Exactly, Necromancers curse, and with spells like Banshee's Wail and Raise Dead, they overwhelm with quantity rather than quality! :smile54: But Night Elves are the best!!: :smile54:
