I see you're talking about the Alliance of Angels, the King of the Undead's Cloak, and the Cursed Armor...
In theory, collecting all these artifacts guarantees victory, BUT... in practice (whether it's local 1v1 games, Hamachi 2v2 games, or online games in general...) I have NEVER seen anyone collect them.
I agree about the Alliance of Angels... I've never seen it collected on a random map... but the Cloak and/or Armor are easily collected... and then... :eek::eek::eek:

That’s what I was trying to say. Necropolis is stronger. Although angels are powerful too...

I think my opinion is also well-known; in the eternal confrontation in Heroes of Might and Magic V, the balance of power leans towards the Necromancers.

Yes, the chances could be equal here! The most important thing is skill!

Here, everything seems fine for now... there are no combined super artifacts... and overall, the balance is pretty good, so I wouldn't be so categorical... :)

If we disregard all the artwork and assume the players are roughly equal in skill, I think Necropolis would win.

Wow, dear... but that's not necessarily true... I, for example, think the opposite...
but in reality... the forces are roughly equal.

And why isn't anyone discussing faction 4? As far as I know, Life (Humans) is the only faction that can effectively counter Undead. Neither Haven, nor Chaos, nor Sylvan, nor Fortress can handle it. But Humans can, and quite easily. The key is magic and UNITS.

I don't know... I don't really like Humans in the fourth game... yes, they are strong against Undead... mainly due to the Crusaders, but as a faction, they aren't that great.

Don't say that. If they were faster, they would be the strongest.
Just look at their Guardian Angel and Holy abilities.

That's exactly what I mean, they move terribly... their speed just kills me. Except for noobs and/or angels, all the other heroes are slow... very slow... even the Logistician...
And magic can be acquired somewhere else... :D :D :D

In Heroes of Might and Magic IV, I think Barbarians might have a point against Life, but only because there's no Barbarian affinity. As for Necropolis, if you're playing against Life, take Demons. Or level up magic skills of Life up to level 2 with Martyr somewhere.

Well, I don't know... For some reason, when I played as Necropolis in Heroes of Might and Magic IV, I never built demons... I didn't see any advantages in them... rather, there are more advantages for the undead.

Devil, life drain.
Harpy is the most powerful ranged attacker, not counting the Titan (and those who attack in a group).
Cerberus has noticeably more health => good protection against magic.

The Devil is a life-saver.

I agree about the Devils... plus the Ice Golems... The Green Slimes are one of the slowest ranged units (only Ballistas and Wasps are slower), going anywhere with them is a torture... and Cerberuses - people won't attack you with magic, but with their hands and feet... so, Ghosts are more useful.
