Maybe someone could write a good, comprehensive guide for Inferno (tactics, development, battles with neutrals, etc.)?

Hmm... I guess I really should write one... I'll do it as soon as I clear up some things with work.

Inferno are very good at attacking, but they are not so good at defending... In my opinion, they are the second best, after the Dark Elves, or maybe even the third best, after the Necromancers, I don't know... Imps are quite strong for a level 1 unit, and if you upgrade their luck, they become even more deadly. Their ability to drain mana from enemies is also good. Demons are probably the most "defensive" warriors in the Inferno faction. But they are slow and not used in the later stages of the game. The "explosion" ability is good to use in a crowd of enemies, but you have to get close to them first! And demons are not very good at that. Hellhounds/Cerberuses - upgrading is a must. Cerberuses are like mini-Hydras with the ability to attack three enemies at once without retaliation. However, they die quickly. Succubi/Demonesses - the only ranged unit in the Inferno faction, and what a unit! They can retaliate against ranged attacks, and demonesses can also attack in a chain (but it doesn't work on other demons). Nightmares - they are fast and have a warrior aura, as well as a fear attack, which makes them formidable fighters. Cave Demons - the most powerful spellcasters in the Inferno faction. They are slow, but very strong in melee combat, and they also cast spells well. Devils - they are not very useful as level 7 warriors (compared to other races), but they can teleport and create Cave Lords from corpses, which makes battles much easier.

Demons manage to weaken the enemy before they can retaliate! And judging by the appearance of the troops... it's interesting. Compared to the third game, where, for example, the Devil looked too "Christian," here the troops resemble small pests rather than a global threat. For example, the Devil looks intimidating only in the intro.

I liked the horses.
My first impression is that they look like a unicorn after an explosion at a gas station:D.

If you listen to him, Inferno can't do anything anywhere... everywhere, there are scary opponents. :)

No, not exactly, but he's just unlucky... there are Necropolis and Haven on the medium maps, Sylvan and Dungeon, and Dungeon on the small maps!

...and on small Dungeon maps!

Yeah, but how will you defend against the Outcast's share on land???
I think Inferno, with its share, is the king of small maps.

don't forget that the Dungeon's magic arrow can destroy a ballista with a single shot...

and there’s also rain… it definitely deals about 600 damage when leveling up… what kind of ballista are we talking about here?

Can you build a level 4 magic building and level up accordingly in 7 days? Because that’s all the time I need to reach your castle...

Sinistar has an advantage at the start.

What can I say?
Where did they find such "designers":mad:
Monsters with disabilities (thanks to the designers):D
gargoyle
hellhound
angel:mad: burnt woman:confused:
peasant (the designers probably thought it was a homeless person:D )
druid with horns
gremlin in a quilted jacket (an upgrade)
pregnant fairy:D (because it's too big for a fairy)
minotaur
devil (the designers probably thought it was a troll):D
genie
dragons (very scary if you compare them to the dragons from HEROES III)
tree (look at the dendroid from HEROES III and you'll see HOW TERRIFYING IT IS compared to the heroes in V)
and many others
P.S. Has anyone seen the elementals and phoenixes from Heroes 5? If so, what are they like?

Firstly, the angels there are NOT women; they are genderless. Secondly, the horns on the elder druid symbolize a high rank and wisdom. Otherwise, I agree.

The arrow appears when you take the improved spell.
Plus, rushing with demons in Imps is possible, but in Dungeon, if they see an attempt to rush, they will have 2 levels of magic defense, so much will depend on the number of Imps and whether the Dungeon hero gets Knowledge.

Generally speaking, the Inferno faction looks quite stylish. But the small imps are too cartoonish. The hell horses and hounds are good. In the upgraded version, I would probably reduce the amount of fire, as it looks like they have already been damaged. The cave demons – it took me a while to figure out where their head is and where their limbs are. They look rather lifeless (externally). The only thing I really don't like about this faction is that the hero runs on foot. Why? Others have either an elephant or a lizard... Racial discrimination!

1) yes, but the mages are the most cartoonish
2) I agree, although the first form of the hound looks like a dead dog, even though it's a level 3 creature
3) but I think that's what gives it a certain style
4) I liked them the most, or rather, their wings...
5) yes, but it's not that bad - it means the demons are the most resilient :)

The Imps' attack actually deals a lot of damage =). No more weak slaps with their tiny paws, like in Heroes of Might and Magic III, but a proper stomp with their hooves =)
Overall, the faction is very beautiful. The Succubi are gorgeous =). The Devil's animation is amazing, the horses are great, and the Taliban-Overseer explodes spectacularly =).
