Posts from - Neutral creatures in Heroes 3

:) I followed your advice and ran a test. The results were unexpected. With an army of 10 Archons, you still have 8 Archons left after the battle! But! With an army of 5 Archons, the Azure Dragon defeats you. So, it's a draw. To win against the Azure Dragons, you need 7 and a half Archons.

Among the neutral creatures, I like Wizards, Fairies, and the aforementioned Azure Dragons. The downside of Fairies is that they are weak in small numbers. If you find their dwelling, it takes a lot of time to gather a sufficient number of them. Of course, I don't have that much patience.
PS 7 and a half Archons - how is that possible? O_o

Many neutral units are quite good, each serving different purposes. I would especially highlight thieves, snipers, and wizards (it's a pity you can't get a large number of them :-( ) and, of course, Azure Dragons. But Azure Dragons are definitely worth taking if you have plenty of money :-)
1 Azure Dragon = 7.5 gold dragons or 6 archons or 6 titans.

Blue dragons are useful because they are the only creatures capable of inflicting Fear. In all my years playing Heroes III, I've only encountered this magic once in a guild... and even then, it seems it was in a campaign. Crystal dragons are useful for their crystal generation. Once you buy one, it's easier to get a second. Rusty dragons deal a lot of damage thanks to their acidic breath. I don't like fairy dragons. Among the neutral creatures, I love snipers. They are one of the best ranged units, perhaps even the best, although they have low health. Wizards shoot much more powerfully at close range. Peasants, as already mentioned, are only useful as skeletons, especially if they have joined your army. Then, a skeleton converter becomes useful. By the way, this is another factor that makes this castle strong.

+1 regarding snipers, and check out my avatar)))

Among the neutral creatures, I like snipers, wizards, and rusty dragons. When you're just starting the game, diamond and gold golems are very useful; they take almost no damage from gold magic, and diamond magic doesn't affect them at all.

Diamond golems have 95% magic resistance. However, black dragons are not affected by this, BUT – if someone has a vulnerability medal, then it's a different story... By the way, it matters who casts the magic and who has the medal. (The artifact has a lot of bugs).

By the way, that's a very relevant observation! Curses work perfectly on diamond golems (one slow is enough to take them down), while dragons have true immunity. The difference is significant. As for the 95% magic resistance of diamond golems, IMHO, it's not very useful. Even AI doesn't use direct damage spells against golems. What can we say about a living opponent?)))
As for my favorite neutral creatures, they are wizards. I remove everyone from the army except archers + one squad for cover, and fill the rest of the stacks with wizards, watch a bunch of blessings being cast, and enjoy it :D :D
Azure dragons are, of course, unmatched in power, but they are expensive and rare. You have to search for them on the map! But with wizards, it's simple - basic diplomacy, and they are already yours ;)

Sorry, I haven't played Heroes 3 for about 2 years...
But I did play it quite a bit - at least 6-7 years...

Yes, everything is fine – not knowing the specifics of diamond golems isn't fatal. You don't encounter them often anyway. I'm also gradually losing my practice in the game – it's been a while since beating the computer became interesting, and there are no more fans of the third game among my friends... For example, I've already forgotten the order in which elementals are distributed across levels in the Conflux... but in the first version of the game, they were also neutral creatures! ;)
In general, neutral monsters aren't a serious threat, unless a legion of them is guarding an important relic...

I like some of the neutral creatures, of course :) Azure Dragons and their Rusty counterparts, and Crystal Dragons (by the way, Crystal Dragons seem to have protection against attacking spells). I don't like the Fabled creatures at all; they look like some kind of Dragonfly Dragon. Among the smaller creatures, I don't know why, but I like the Nomads, although their ability to travel across sand is rarely needed. I also like the Snipers, Wizards, and... that's it. Trolls are strong, but Ogres are more beautiful :) Hobgoblins are too weak; you need about 1000 of them to be useful.

Peasants are generally designed to be weak and somewhat unrealistic; normal rural men shouldn't be that weak. I think their speed should be increased, and their damage should be around three. I like Trolls for their regeneration and visual appeal. But overall, my avatar speaks for itself.

It seems like the Fabled dragons are about the size of a soccer ball. :)

You need about 1000 peasants for them to be useful.

Peasants are basically created for mockery; it's kind of silly, and it's not very realistic that normal village men would be so weak... I would increase their speed and damage to around three.

Peasants are just meat, future skeletons. :)

Rust monsters are awesome!!!!!! But there are too few neutral creatures.

The coolest ones are the azure dragons, but the rusty and crystal ones will also be useful.
