If two experienced players are playing, I think the starting town and hero matter... Shahti has beaten Kiryukha many times. And in general, Kiryukha rarely takes the Conservatory in the first week... But for Shahti... Sometimes, Shahti already has a developed town with an Angel on day one after upgrading the Troglodyte town... and takes the maximum number of Gnomish units on day one. Shahti forever!!!

If two experienced players are playing, I think the starting town and hero matter... I've seen Шахти defeat Кирюха many times. And in general, Кирюха rarely takes the Academy early in the game... But for Шахти... Sometimes, Шахти already has a well-developed town with an Angel on day one after upgrading the Troglodyte town... and takes all the available Gnomish Mines on day one. Шахти forever!!!

I didn't quite understand the meaning of the sentence here, to be honest. Are these player nicknames? If so, the answer isn't entirely accurate, in my opinion. A more standardized answer would be better.
But in general, the question is indeed not very well-formulated. The outcome of the game is determined not only by the players' factions but also by many other factors. For example, one player might find 4 Griffon Conservatories, while the other finds none. In some ways, it's a matter of luck.

Where do we go?
Where do we end up when we save the world?

I didn't quite understand what you meant...

Ah... Well, with random map generation... Professionals try to create balanced setups...
Phoenixes, Galtran, Kir and Shahti are in the first tier))) Strong castles))) (although the fact that you can't upgrade Necromancy significantly weakens the Necropolis)
Swamp, Castle, and Magic factions are in the middle tier,
and Barbarians and Inferno are the weakest))) This is just a general idea... Kreg Hack is a strong hero. If he comes for a castle, I'll level him up))) Although logistics heroes are the best))) But you can't take Gunar for the Dungeon right away... Shahti is a better starting hero))) The Barbarians' desert hero also doesn't give his weak troops a good offense... Difficulty changes the balance drastically. Barbarians are completely useless at 200 percent... But at 160 percent, they can already put Behemoths in the first row)))

Sincerely, Eugene.

I constantly played at 200% until I came across this forum, and I can say that Behemoths easily pair with Castle if you know how to play them!!! Of course, the respawn also needs to be decent, with a bit of everything.

Well, for 200% gameplay with Barbarians, you should choose the hero Gurnisson. And use the Ballista to control the battlefield like an Angel...:smile54: But the resource spawns are generated randomly for Barbarians, and it's not very good on the Isle of the Damned... Then, traveling across the rocks isn't the most enjoyable experience... That is, the heroes are slow, and resources are gathered slowly...
Understanding a decent resource spawn...)))
sometimes 6 Unicorns are better than 3 Behemoths... especially for defensive purposes... but for Barbarians, 6 units are not very good... if you have an external source of Behemoths, then I agree to play as Barbarians.

Sincerely, Eugene.

You should definitely pick the hero Gurnisson for the Barbarians.

Or Grechkin ;). I personally enjoy playing as him because Gurn often arrives without a weapon. And Grechkin tears everyone apart with his goblins. Plus, it's easier to carry angels and wyverns with Pathfinder.

That is, the heroes are slow.

The lurkers look pretty good on greased goblins with a speed of 7.
I also like the Barbarians, but I agree that they usually have poor respawn points. But sometimes the generator will place a bunch of gnomes, which provides good experience and money.

In general, each case depends on the specific situation, so it is really difficult to say.

And Grechkin doesn't get enough goblins )))

He's not comparable to Shahti... Grechkin isn't as good... Gurney is better ))) Gurney is indispensable when playing against the AI (for defending cities)))

For 200% Barbarian faction, there are usually two options: either Rukh in the Castle or monsters with whatever is available. I haven't been able to use monsters with a Castle on the first level for 200% (though I don't play very well).
The hero greatly depends on the respawn location. If there are Goblin and Dwarf mines, Gretchin is the best. But in this case, Crag is also good. Gurin has a problem here - the ballista is not allowed in the Dwarf mines...
And if it's for breaking through and there isn't much Dwarf presence, then Gurin is the way to go. Oh, he's great, he's saved me so many times. Especially if the third hero is either a Swamp creature with snakes or an Elementalist with fairies and air elementals. It's still difficult to control wolves because of their two-cell size...
Currently, people are often using Tiraqsor for 160%...

And Grechin gets too few goblins )))

He doesn't hold a candle to Shakhti ... Grechin is no comparison ...

I'm not comparing Grechkin to Shakti either. Only Gosha can compare to him :). 60-70 goblins with 9 speed clear respawn pretty well, starting from crypts and small gnome huts, ending with naga banks on the second month. Not arguing that Gurney is cooler, but you still need to upgrade the ballista, while Grechkin kills everyone from day one.

Especially if the third hero comes — either a bog dweller with snakes or an elementalist with fairies and air elementals.

It's better not to give snakes and air elementals from the third hero to wolf riders, because they have a penalty on rocks ;). Wolf riders with goblins (even unupgraded) will run faster than with flies on rocks :).

By the way, nowadays people often use Tyraxor on 160% ...

If there are external dwellings of wolves, Tyraxor is in no way inferior to Gurney, BUT you need to know how to play him, because wolves die like flies if you play carelessly. Tyraxor is hero #1 in TE (judging by the reports from the bay), because they get monster upgrades. Upgraded wolves are just beasts, they say :)

Naturally, snakes, sprites, and air elementals are needed to lead neutral creatures in the game, as goblins are too slow, and wolves are two-tile creatures.

1. Necropolis because of skeletons. 2. Rampart because of a hero with diplomacy and because of the treasure chamber. 3. Tower because of magic. 4. Dungeon because of magic. P.S. It's up to you to decide.

Одна древняя легенда гласит,
Что темный дракон весь мир покорит,
Темный дракон - безликая тень,
Теперь навсегда ночь сменит день.
Он свергнет всех местных Богов,
Ни сила, ни воля не сдержат его.
Рыцарь, король - все одно для него,
С ним в битве исчезнет и зло, и добро.

yes, it all depends on the opponent's IQ level, e.g.: the ability to quickly organize, minimize losses, battle tactics, use of magic/artifacts... IMHO
