Posts from Which faction do you like the most in Heroes of Might and Magic IV?

By the way, I recently played a game where my Necropolis hero, paired with a Chaos hero, managed to defeat around 70 creatures, mostly skeletons, after they had both leveled up their dragon and skeleton units. And about half of those skeletons survived.

Do you remember what map you were playing on?

I don't remember what map we were playing.

I can't remember right now, but I'll try to recall tomorrow or the day after and I'll definitely tell you:smile33:.

So, I looked it up and remembered, as promised:smile33:. It turns out it's a standard map from the "Whirlwinds" set:D. It's called "7 Steps (or Stages?) to Glory," and the battle took place approximately in the center of the map, where there were Draki (176 of them) led by a level 40 hero (Chaotic, and no magic affects him!).
Some kind of bridge is being guarded:smile07:.

I don’t have that one.

“7 Steps to Glory” or “Seven Steps to Glory”? We know, we know! And we’ve played it about 100 times!!! :D
Ruslan, we recently held an offline tournament on this map. Yes, the central guard there is tough. :) But apparently, you can bypass it without a fight! ;)

And here is the map itself

Okay... get your frying pans and earplugs ready... I'm going to share my opinion about my favorite faction:) (maybe, considering the latest posts, it's not entirely relevant, but...)
So:
First place - Order;) Here we have a decent first-level unit, golems with good stats, and djinns, which don't even need commentary, and versatile magic, and much, much more... It's a pity, of course, that Lords are here. I just don't like them. However, you can exploit some ability when the opportunity arises, or you can simply put them in the Castle. You can never have too much money (especially me).
Second - Life. If you manage to level up the Paladin, you get a real killing machine. But even a simple Life Mage is useful - healing, blessings, and so on are always in demand. And the army... But in general, I don't like humans (because of the style - nothing fantastic, just angels:( ).
Third place is shared by Chaos, Nature, and Might:) I like Chaos for its fast start (thieves gain experience very quickly) and for the horses and little dragons:o Nature - a portal with various creatures, summoning, and so on, but it's slow at the beginning, and I'm not used to staying on large maps for a long time (although there are still thieves in the tavern:)). Might - well, just for the hero, who is a killing machine in himself, no worse than a Paladin, and for the first-level creatures, which help the hero become one at the beginning. And for harpies.
Fourth place - Death, but only because of the undead (don't get me wrong... Death, as it turns out, is very strong, and with vampires, which are already scary just by looking at their stats, and with resurrection, because of which there can be a huge number of these vampires... but I don't like the magic).
Don't kill me, I've only been playing the fourth game for a short time and I don't know much yet;) But I want to learn at least something. So, constructive criticism is welcome)

It just so happens that here too, I like Chaos and Sylvan the most. These two factions move around the map very quickly (relatively speaking). The others don't, especially Fortress. Well, and all factions have decent units, and there isn't any bad magic...

I loved nature the most – tigers, wolves, griffins... and life itself!

It just so happens that I also like Chaos and Nature the most here. These two factions move around the map very quickly (relatively speaking). The others don't, especially Might. Well, and everyone has decent units, and there are no bad spells...

Why especially Might? O_o

Birds run fast with heroes :) So they have a normal speed, both at the start and during the game.

And what about the monsters? Ogre-shamans? ... it's just awful. :) There's probably nothing slower. Harpies also don't seem to be particularly fast. And cyclops are slow... And if you run around the map with only birds, you can lose them all...

Yes, Goblins are a bit clumsy, and they're slow in battle... maybe I just don't know how to use them properly, but I think Birds are better. And why would I need Ogres or Cyclops in my party? I saved them for the endgame, and that's fine.
Harpies are fast; I think they have 40 speed, but I'm not sure.
You can zoom around the map with Heroes and Birds.

I also prefer birds, much more. :) It's not always possible to have a whole bunch of Terminator-like heroes; there are cases when it's not feasible. :) With nature, you can easily take fairies, griffins, phoenixes, or drakes with you... practically without losing mobility. Chaos has Nightmares and Drakes =^^=

Then you can focus on Life magic. There, besides angels, everything is relatively slow.

Alright, let's get started! And what about the champions? They're also fast. Besides, angels can resurrect, so you can take them with you even without any support units.

Then you can focus on Life magic. There, besides Angels, everything is relatively slow.

Life doesn't really need anyone else besides Angels. Just accumulate Crosses and you're good to go. ;)

Actually, life doesn't need anyone but Angels. Just accumulate crosses for the finale, and that's it.;)

Well, basically, every faction only needs the 4th level unit, and everyone has a faster version of it;) Everything else is just secondary.

P.S. I think I've finally grasped this concept:)
