I like the creatures, especially the alternate upgrades from archers to monks, paladins, and archangels. I was particularly impressed by the battle griffons – a real killing machine.

Necromancers are definitely a powerful faction, no doubt about it! But the Dungeon faction is also awesome! They have powerful units: Minotaurs, Lizards, Black Dragons... and combined with dark magic... I love them! And also the Orcs! The concept behind them is great, they have the strongest attackers, and you can develop such a powerful tank!

Yes, Dark Elves are very strong.
But darkness is not their forte - they probably won't have spells in their castle.

Dark Elves. They are like the Gasconians. Haven, Necromancers, and there is fire in your veins too, but... they are grim and proud. They are always at war, even with each other. They could conquer the whole world, but... they don't need it. They just want to be left alone.

Definitely, the Fortress faction is the strongest. Especially due to the lava dragons, jarls, rune magic, and the fact that they also learn regular magic very well! And I'll add that the appearance of a large cloud of dwarves when defending a city is not just a serious advantage, it's outright cheating, especially considering that the building that allows you to create this cloud of dwarves costs very little.

Well, there are tricks even for low-tier units. The toughness of the Fortress is countered by initiative. It's countered by magic. It's countered by high attack. Runes don't help either. This has been repeatedly verified.

P.S. By the way, the word "race" is spelled with one "s". The word "rassist" looks strange, don't you think?

I started playing with the Sylvan faction. I was very impressed by their archers and druids. Just recently, I read that it's quite a challenging faction for beginners – I have a habit of starting with the most difficult ones...:(

Now I appreciate the Fortress faction, those tough, almost impenetrable tanks;), and the Necropolis. :smile36:

I agree that you can find a counter to any race, but the counter to the Northern Clans is... impressive! They still seem stronger than the others due to the combination of rune magic + some other magic (especially light and dark magic helps). And on top of all these advantages, there are the most powerful lava dragons, Arcata priests with their fire wall, and especially impressive are the hundreds of dwarves defending the city, as I already mentioned. No other race has such significant advantages. Unless you consider the human ability to advance to the next level. But this pleasure is unpleasantly expensive. The Undead, with their vampirism, plague, curses, hordes of skeletons, and other nastiness, are still somewhat weak. The battle cries of the barbarians are a good thing, but by the time the creatures reach that 3rd level of fury, more than half of the battle will have passed. And the fact that orcs don't learn magic at all is their main disadvantage.

Well, firstly, it's extremely difficult to win by playing defensively. Methods to counter both a large group of defenders during a siege and strong walls have long been developed. The most effective is an economic blockade. The Dwarf will have to fight in the field to avoid being strangled by a resource blockade.
Secondly, the Dwarves' initiative still leaves much to be desired. Yes, they are strong and tough, but attack is not their style. Therefore, high-initiative attacking races can easily overpower them. And every race will find something to counter them. Otherwise, everyone would only be shouting about "imba Dwarves."

Undoubtedly, the Northern Clans are the best. Especially due to the lava dragons, jarls, rune magic, and the fact that they learn regular magic well!

You're exaggerating here)))
Remember how many resources the dwarves need to build up? At least that.
As for the tower, it's a minor issue - don't attack inside the castle, take everything outside, and the dwarves are done for. But if you do attack, it will be difficult, but what can you do... They've been hammering the dwarves, and they'll keep hammering them.
Looks like we're getting off-topic.

The building that allows you to create this cloud of gnomes is very cheap.

The key is to build it as early as possible, and at the start, 10 units of wood isn't that much, considering the constant shortage of wood.

Dwarves are undoubtedly a strong race, and they have their own significant advantages. However, they also have some significant drawbacks. For example, Lava Dragons and Tany are usually built later than the corresponding level of creatures from other races due to the huge problem with crystals. Also, Dwarves have one of the most difficult starts. If you don't play as Karl, it's very difficult to level up, and it's also difficult to avoid losses. The Watchtower, considering everything mentioned above (economic blockade), is not a particular advantage.

I only build watchtowers when an enemy approaches my castle. With friends, we always have the final battle in an open field (it's a pre-arranged match). If the computer isn't heading towards my castle, I don't build them at all.

By the way, my sister and I have the same experience; we never meet in castles or on water. Just recently, I defeated her with Myv (my hero). The highly praised Necropolis faction lost to the Haven faction. Who knows what a "week of alliance" is? It's when the growth rate triples, and the income doubles... it's crazy... but I think I would have defeated Naadira's Necromancer even without it, because I had inspiration: -OOOOOOO...
So, Necromancers shouldn't be praised so much; Dwarves are much stronger in some cases:))))

Yes, most players in Final Fantasy prefer open fields. I've played a lot, and I've only taken castles with strong garrisons a couple of times; there were no major battles at sea (except in campaigns).
I'm very surprised that people are already putting Haven in last place; you're underestimating it.
I just don't understand why you like Necropolis so much. Can you explain?
