Posts from The most UNPOPULAR faction in Heroes 5.

I’m not saying that I don’t like humans. I like ALL races. Besides, the angels and griffins of the Haven faction are just adorable!

The only problem with Haven is that it’s difficult to play them without taking losses on neutral creatures. They are strong, but it’s hard to avoid losses, as they only have one ranged unit (monks don’t count), and no attacking spells, only light magic, which won’t save them from losses (although dark magic will). This is especially noticeable at the beginning; in the middle of the game, with a well-developed leader and ranged units, they can attack for longer, and paladins appear, but they still can’t compare to Dungeon. With Dungeon, you can clear all neutral creatures except ranged units without taking any losses.

In my opinion, Dark Elves are the worst faction :smile48: ... I just can't seem to play them well, and I can't do anything about it... I've never relied on luck, so it might work, or it might not, and if it doesn't, you'll end up getting beaten yourself :smile10: ... And also, Mages - they're just magic; besides debuffs or buffs, they're just a support class for me... In my opinion, it's better to gather a large number of troops, like Necropolis or Inferno, or high-level units like Haven, train them, and then go and cut everyone's throats... :smile13:

The only flaw in your tactics is that while you're building a large army, a Warlock will come and wipe everything out with spells.((((
Now I also don't like Haven, from the perspective of playing as it. Constantly counting every stone and every penny – I don't like that.

I don't like playing as Haven anymore. Constantly having to count every stone and every coin – I don't enjoy that.

You once had the Dwarves as your profile race; I think you played them and know that they have even worse resource problems than Humans, but they need very little gold, although I still suffer from a shortage, but there is one plus: you always get experience from chests and can build a resource stockpile...

This is true if the game is fast-paced; in that case, offensive spells are always stronger than an army. But if it's a late-game scenario, then magic becomes less effective. It all depends on the circumstances.

I don't like the following factions: Inferno, Haven, Dwarves, and Academy. - I mostly dislike Inferno because of the appearance of its creatures and the faction's overall ideology. - Haven: I don't like their starting position. And playing as them seemed boring and uninteresting to me. - Dwarves: Similar to Haven (I don't like brute force; I prefer to do everything carefully and from a distance). - Academy: This faction is, more or less, okay, but the only thing that puts me off is the appearance of the creatures (in some parts) and the faction's history. P.S.: I don't consider these factions to be weak (the game's balance has been, is, and will be).

2shaddar, in my opinion, playing as the Dwarves is interesting, and the battles are engaging! The Necropolis faction also has some issues! And Inferno, Humans, and Orcs are indeed not very interesting!

The only problem with Humans is that they are difficult to play without suffering losses on neutral territories.

I only have online experience playing as Humans, and I didn't notice anything particularly difficult on Veteran difficulty (at least, I didn't fall too far behind my opponents). The standard strategy is to first crush the weak and slow units (archers shoot single-target attacks at peasants, distracting them, while swordsmen finish them off as they approach; all of this is done either under Haste or Divine Might), and then you can fight the rest, even those with teleportation and resurrection abilities.

Inferno is a very interesting faction. It is very chaotic both in terms of development and appearance, and I like that.

There isn't a faction that I dislike; there are those to which I express more sympathy than others, namely Humans, Necropolis, and Inferno. The main thing is that there aren't any unnecessary factions here. Remove one, and the magical, enchanting tapestry of the world of Heroes 5 will disappear.

if you buff Rakshasa and Titan with something like: Celestial Shield, Stone Skin, Divine Strength, then they will win the battle together.

I hate Dwarves for their mosquito-like damage. Everything else is not worth playing them for – Lava Dragons.

I hate Necromancer-controlled undead.

Mages, humans, and undead!!!!

I don't like demons. Especially their design.
