Posts from Inferno tactics.
Auto-translated
The Magic Guild is good – 5 levels. The heroes are unremarkable, except perhaps for Zydar. So, use him. Inferno has the Gates of Hell. If the secondary faction is Inferno, it turns out to be quite interesting, although expensive.
Overall, Inferno is doing a good job. They just need a good commander and a bit of luck...
Kien, I agree with everything you said. Only the archers don't really appeal to me. And the units, in my opinion, are a bit too expensive.
Of course, I don't like that mages can harm their own units; often, I have to refrain from attacking because of this, but they can hit several units at once. So, the plus outweighs the minus, and I'm indifferent towards them.
I agree with you about the firebirds – it's not entirely correct.
A realistic strategy for the first 1-2 weeks is to use the expert curse. The implementation of such a strategy is most effective for Inferno – it can be found in the guild and heroes often choose fire magic. If it’s not in the guild, look for it in shrines, anywhere. This immediately reduces the damage by 1.5 to 3 times (it’s no joke – check it, read the Physical Mitigation stat).
Demons and pits are still an effective combination. It's not always possible to build large armies and effectively sacrifice your own units, but with practice, you can achieve good results. Without demonology, you can't count on taking Utopias early.
A real game-changer in the first 1-2 weeks is the Expert Curse spell. Inferno has the highest chance of obtaining it – it can be found in the guild and heroes often learn it. If it's not in the guild, look for it in shrines, anywhere. It immediately reduces damage by 1.5 to 3 times (no joke – check it, read the spell description).
You're saying you can conquer Utopia in 1-2 weeks? Perhaps the minimum time, given the appearance of Tazar in the tavern, a large number of easily obtainable resources, a good starting location (and not just one), that the buildings are already constructed in the city at the very beginning, very good skills when leveling up, a large number of training sessions to convert soldiers into demons, and good luck. That is, 1-1.5 percent chance. Curse is a level 1 spell. Please explain how you conquer Utopia in Inferno on difficulty level 4 using the 2Sm4d template, and I will consider you the most brilliant player for that city (I think not only I will).
Conquering Utopia and playing for 1-2 weeks are mentioned in different sentences. People who simply like to argue subconsciously distort the meaning of another person's words (even for themselves).

A real rush to take it in 1-2 weeks is an expert curse." Is that how I understood it correctly – "rush" means breaking Utopia? Isn't that right? And as for just arguing – I disagree. Providing at least one piece of evidence is quite enough for me (for your post).

I personally took Utopia on the second week playing as Inferno! I summoned 66 demons and took the minimum! Hero: Peer. Nothing too complicated!
"Without demonology, you can't expect to take Utopias early.
A real 'break' in the first 1-2 weeks is an expert curse." Is my understanding correct that 'break' means breaking a Utopia? Right? And simply disagreeing – I don't agree. Providing at least one piece of evidence would be enough for me (for your post).
A 'break' is often called a "powerful tool" :)

On the second day, 66 demons are quite likely. But not on the first.
Indeed, I find it hard to imagine this happening 200% of the time, but maybe it's possible at a lower level if you capture a couple of castles.
Then, as I understand it, you took Utopia with 8 green dragons, 6 red, 4 gold, and 3 black... Ehh... You probably got some Ottomans from somewhere, although you still needed something to cut the demons... Although, in offline mode, it's probably possible...
Anyway, that's awesome!!!

Well, in that case, I admit – I was completely wrong. By the way, Grand Pyramids are rare on the first map because you need to build a Guild.
Hmm... I believe you, of course, why would I doubt it... However, recruiting 66 demons... So, on the first day, you must have built a Pit with a castle (Ifrits?).
Day two - Guild of Mages
Day three - Hell Pit
Day four - Guild of Mages level 2
Day five - Hell Pit upgrade
Day six - Efreet
Day seven - Dogs
Starting on the Queen. At the start, I got Ogres. The second hero had 35 Pikemen. On day 5, I took Pit Lords with the second hero and went for it. There was a hidden stash of Imps and Dogs. There were 3 Pit Lords. I bought more on the second week. I recruited Demons from Imps, Ogres, Dogs, and Pikemen + my own from the castle.
Then, as I understand it, you took Utopia with 8 Green Dragons, 6 Red, 4 Gold, 3 Black... Hmm... You probably got some Ottomans somewhere else, but you also needed something for recruiting demons... Although, you can probably do it in offline mode...
Anyway, that's awesome!!!
In total, that makes 42 demons. I counted the external dwellings of gogs and dogs, as you can see. Fine, maybe you didn't slaughter all 66. Maybe you bought another 8 pieces. Well, in general, it almost adds up...
