Sorcery, as I understand it. It spends less initiative when casting spells. If a hero shoots an arrow, initiative isn't saved.

By the time sorcery is leveled up, I think the hero will have several pleasant surprises in their arsenal, more effective than an arrow. :) ;)

An ice block, for example.

a small spellpower buff is better if you can find something like mass haste or mass bless.

Actually, Chaos is rather weak for our pointy-eared brethren... It's better to use Bless or not use magic at all.

It's clear that Death Knights aren't worth leveling up for the Hive. I'm just surprised by some of the spells in the game. For example, Minefield, Wall of Fire, and Confusion, or whatever it's called. I only appreciated Confusion once when some mega-mage cast it on a large scale. My archers refused to shoot, and the druids refused to cast spells. And no matter how many times I cast it, it had no effect.
Exactly, I once cast a mass Confusion spell on a friend on expert level with a spellpower of 20; he tried to remove it four times, poor guy, but had no chance:cool:

Oh, I just read in the manual that the Swarm of Mosquitoes, with expert summoning magic, reduces initiative by 60%. For example, "Slow" reduces it by 40% at best. I just don't understand how many turns the initiative drops by.
When applied, the Swarm doesn't reduce initiative; instead, the unit is pushed back in the turn order by 60% of its turn:cool:

For me, the concept of "initiative" is still somewhat abstract and unclear. Does anyone know how to determine a unit's position on the initiative scale when pressing the "W" key? I haven't quite figured it out yet.

Easy :) Just look for where it appears on the bar the second time :D If it's not there, it means it's slow and will appear later... after all the units displayed on the bar. It's all very simple.

Hey, Necromancer isn't the answer. I'm interested in knowing how to guess with pinpoint accuracy which unit will appear. Because sometimes you click "wait," hoping that some enemy unit will appear further down the scale than your unit will move, but then it turns out the opposite. And the whole battle is ruined. Do you understand what I mean?

http://heroes.ag.ru/heroes5/advices/07/ Read this, maybe you'll understand how ATB works.
Thank you! I don't understand everything yet. I need to practice. For example, it's not clear what happens when armies fight, with one stack each. Let's say I have 1 Titan and the enemy has 1 Titan. That means the length of the scale is 4 stacks (taking into account the heroes' turns). Damn, I still don't understand. I need to go and practice.

Go and practice... on cats ;)

Elves are weak! And they have a lousy racial ability.

It's a decent skill. They can launch a fan of enchanted arrows at three sworn enemies, or at least a meteor shower. They can also use the same spell to charge a ballista. You can charge it with a berserker.
