If you take the same number of troops, then the Dark Elves are definitely the best! They have the highest quality troops!

This is a very complex question, and there is no definitive answer. If we compare the factions in terms of the overall strength of their creatures, then the Dark Elves are the strongest. But for storming cities, the Dark Elves are the worst. And Demons, with their ability to open portals, are simply excellent for storming cities! You can block almost all ranged units and then bring up your main forces to them (while they are fighting the summoned creatures). This ensures the fewest losses compared to other factions. Since storming cities is the main key to victory over the enemy, I voted for the Demons!

When storming a Castle, Elves can perform quite well: 2 flying units, 2 excellent archers... In my opinion, that's a good set of units for an assault.

I agree that it's a good set, even a very good one. But think about it: Demons have only one archer, but thanks to the expert-level Gate skill, they can have 6 creatures, in addition to the Devil, appear on the enemy castle's territory. But the Devil can teleport there on his own anyway.

Demons only have one ranged attacker, but thanks to the expert skill that allows opening gates on the enemy castle's territory, 6 creatures, in addition to the devil, can appear there. But the devil can teleport there on his own without any problems.

That's true, I don't deny it: while the devils are teleporting inside, the succubi will shoot them down, and the lords will cast a meteor shower...
And the enemy------->:smile15:

For the Dark Elves, the army is not the main thing. For sieges, they have the Meteorite and Phoenix with Elementals. Just one of these, or a lucky cast of Meteorite, can eliminate a large part of the enemy army...

Well, if we're talking specifically about army strength, I think Knights are also quite strong. For castles, they have a powerful catapult, plus they can teleport Paladins, which would cause total chaos in the castle.

Why is the catapult only strong for them? All factions can develop the catapult, and teleportation requires expert light magic; besides, you can only teleport one creature per turn, while demons can teleport almost everyone at once!

Well, those types of units probably won't be needed for that, but they're perfect for knights. You only need to teleport one unit – Paladins, and there will be more than enough of them to deal with the enemies. Griffons and Archangels/Seraphim can provide support, but Archangels are probably more useful.

Well, those types of machines probably won't be needed, but they're perfect for knights. And you only need to teleport one unit – paladins, and there will be more than enough of them for the enemies))) Griffons and archangels/seraphim can provide support, but probably mostly archangels.

Teleportation, in my opinion, becomes a great thing if there's a sudden attack, but teleporting just like that is sometimes equivalent to suicide, because the unit is exposed to attack. Those demons will likely tear the paladins apart. And in general, if we have light and mass evasion, some heroes will have a very hard time. Although someone (like a warlock) won't suffer much. I would prefer to use griffons for an aerial strike, because it's very cramped behind the castle walls, and sometimes you can even predict where a particular stack will stand.

O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.

Man, why do people almost always forget about the Orcs?:smile35: They're so cool!:smile02: They're almost as strong as the Necromancers. They just don't have magic:smile05:. That's why I put them in second place. In my opinion, the person who said that NECROMANCERS are the BEST is right!!!

THE BEST, THE VERY BEST ARE NECROMANCERS!!!

I can agree with that. Necropolis has many advantages; you can gather a large army! I like playing as Necromancers! Necromancers will defeat any other faction!

Nah! That's debatable! Each faction has its own very serious advantages. Just because the undead can develop necromancy and gather hordes of skeletons doesn't mean they will defeat everyone else! For example, humans have the ability to upgrade troops to the next level; dwarves have rune magic; demons can open portals; the Tower can develop the strongest chaos magic... Perhaps the Academy's troops really have few advantages. The main thing is to know how to play! The best faction is the one you know how to play best!

If the opponent has the same number of troops as a Dark Elf, it means they are playing worse than the Dark Elf. This shouldn't happen when playing against equally skilled opponents.

El Feroz, I completely agree that the best faction is the one you play best!

However, I absolutely disagree that Dark Elves are weak when attacking a castle. In my opinion, quite the opposite - only a fool would hide from them behind walls. They can take down anyone with area-of-effect spells. IMO, they don't even need a Phoenix. I prefer to upgrade something else instead of summoning one. They need to be fought in melee combat, exploiting their weak defense.

That makes sense, although I still like these the most: 1st place - Necropolis, 2nd place - Sylvan, and 3rd place - Haven!:D :D :D

Even though they are my favorite factions!:smile19:

Oops, I completely forgot! I offended the Dwarves, Dwarves are also a very good faction!:smile14:
