Posts from Which school of magic do you prefer and why?

Phenix3, the point is that everything is considered in general, not something in particular. The question is not specific, meaning it doesn't refer to a specific map, a specific faction (castle), or a specific situation. There's no need to make the question more specific. The question itself is not specific.

A TOPIC FOR WIZARDS!
Which type of magic do you prefer? Fire, Earth, Water, or Air?
Personally, I like Water and Air.
Water has very strong spells (Ice Bolt...).
Air has good casting speed.
Let's share and discuss.

Air and Earth, mainly because of Haste, Slow, See Invisible, Lightning, Raise Dead, Resurrection, Town Portal, Fly, Dimension Door, and Explode!

Earth - explosion, city portal, slower. Fire - berserk, blindness. :smile29:

I like Fire and Air. Fire spells deal significant damage, and I don't even know why I like Air: confused: :D

Fire spells that deal significant damage.

Hmm... Well, generally yes, but besides Armageddon, I don't really know any other spells that deal massive damage: Inferno and Fireball are there, of course, but... Berserk can deal significant damage, I agree.
Actually, an explosion is Earth, and a chain lightning (as well as lightning) is Air...

Well, I don't even need Armageddon's Blade; Berserk is quite enough for me! :)

Each magic has its own advantages. Why deprive yourself of the pleasure?
If you judge by power, it's also unclear: it depends on the artifacts.

Earth - explosion, city portal, slower. Fire - berserk, blindness.:smile29:

These are exactly the spells I try to get. I didn't take Fire before, but when I saw the expert berserk, I changed my mind. And I've never even seen how hypnosis works. :)

Yes, I also used Armageddon's Blade in Dragon Battles, when I took it from the enemies – it works well against azure dragons. But generally, I like Chain Lightning; it's a very effective weapon.
And has anyone tried playing without magic at all? Imagine if all the enemies were like gold and diamond golems; magic wouldn't affect them.

I tried it. I still play that way, actually. Among the spells, I use slow, haste, bless, blind, curse, raise dead, town portal, fly, and dimension door. Sometimes I also use stone skin with a shield. It works pretty well in principle, although I don't play too well...

I'd like to start a game and give it a try, although I usually defeat enemies by overwhelming them with numbers, and also with magic. I usually use chain lightning and haste, because I don't want to go too far. In the most urgent cases, I use resurrection (if available), but it doesn't help much, and the character dies even faster again.

I prefer earth magic because once you reach level 3, the CITY PORTAL spell allows you to teleport to any friendly town!

Earth. ===> City portal

I think all schools of magic are good. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. But I prefer the expert-level Air and Earth schools with their shared acceleration, deceleration, and other effects. Of course, there is some use in healing and removing spells in the Water school...:smile54:

I haven't even seen how hypnosis works.

It works very simply – you gain control of an enemy unit. But the spell isn't very useful because it only works well on weak units and in small numbers. Even on the expert level, it's rare to be able to affect units higher than level five:smile27: But an expert-level Armageddon spell...:smile51: :smile54: :smile44:

In my opinion, the best spell is Earth, because you can use it to slow down enemies. If there are many weak units gathered together, you can use Rain, and if there's a very large group, you can use Explosion. Plus, you can also use it to resurrect units, which is great!)))
And another essential spell is the City Portal.
