Posts from Which faction poses the greatest challenge for the Dwarves?

Hey Mish-gan, I advise you to get an education that can save you from the Orc (if only...). If your skills don't fit anywhere, choose Inga; she will ensure you get the Energy and Resurrection runes:):):)... and also, if you lack mana for Light or Chaos spells...
Even if you choose Ingvar, your defenders won't be as strong against Tilshek's "beastly" warmongers (Ingvar is only strong at the start and mid-game, although you can try, but Tilshek has a better chance because Orcs have insane growth and it's difficult to defeat warmongers in the late game, even with dragons, if you only have runes...).
Helmar is not a worse hero, but he is more focused on magic, which is inferior to the "beastly" warmonger squad; he doesn't have an enhanced squad.
I'll give you two pieces of advice:
1.
Does your opponent get an education if they go for the late game (maybe... but still?)? If not, feel free to get an education for Helmar or Ingvar, but I would choose Inga for this battle.
2.
Try to surprise your opponent instead of leveling up in the usual way... especially with magic... and especially with Orcs. I remember a battle where I was a Dwarf, Erling, and in the guild, mines appeared. I thought, "Will they level up through summons?" And they did + education + defense, resulting in around 23-26 levels.
In the end, I won purely because of the mines and phantoms with a phoenix!

to Mish-gun:
Do you think I don't know that any castle is native to Necromancers? Yes, if you're lucky with artifacts and spells, and even two castles, I assure you, I'll defeat you easily. Just yesterday, on Ubi, I defeated Hafiz with ONE castle, even though Hafiz had a bunch of those gremlins (he tried to rush and got his butt kicked). Also, it seems you think you need to level up to level 30, where will you get that much experience? There's no need to act smart and say that you already know everything; I think you just haven't faced serious Necromancers - and there are some on Ubi, and they are even stronger than me. Dwarves are useless against mages, and even more so against Necromancers.

First of all, I will repeat once again that no race is stronger than another if you know how to play. Secondly, the conditions under which Mish-gan and his friend are playing are unequal; the Dwarves have an advantage. The main weakness of the Dwarves is their difficult start, as they can be killed very quickly. However, if you let a Dwarf develop, it becomes very difficult to play against them.
P.S. What difficulty level are you playing on?

Thank you.

2. As my friends who used to play on Ubi told me, it's not really possible to have a proper match there, because players mostly try to play games quickly, without proper development, and in 90% of long games, there are always some misunderstandings, or someone leaves, or the game crashes, or it lags! If you play there, you know what I'm talking about!

Let's go through this step by step:
1. Read the posts carefully – I wrote about leveling up a dwarf to level 25, so it's logical that we're talking about the late game!
2. As my friends who used to play on Uplay told me, it's difficult to have a proper battle there, as most players try to play quickly, without proper leveling. And in a long game, in 90% of cases, there are always some misunderstandings, or someone leaves, or there's a crash, or lag! If you play there, you know what I'm talking about!
3. If you think mages are stronger than dwarves, then there's no point in continuing the conversation!

Are you just talking nonsense?
Try playing the way I suggested, test it, record a screenshot – then we can talk!

I think you're just saying that because you don't know!

Firstly, if you're playing with a friend, there's an option for autosaving – or were you unaware of it?
Secondly, your categorical statement suggests that you haven't played against a decent Necromancer; you've only played against some noob... Especially if he was defeating you with two Castles while you only had one Castle.

For Mish-gan: Why aren't all players using Humans in Heroes of Might and Magic 3 then? Probably because they can be rushed, and it's really possible to train a lot of Paladins on large, resource-rich maps. And by the way, having a lot of horses isn't a guarantee of victory; there are spells like Blindness, Charm, Berserk, and Holy Vengeance.
And while the start for Igvar is fast, it's not reliable. You'll almost certainly suffer some losses on every neutral creature stack, even if it's just a few. Although, maybe on Veteran difficulty, you can clear them without significant losses.

Now imagine a late-game scenario with a Necromancer at level 25 with two Castles, while you only have one. I don't know how you could possibly lose. I've tried playing Necromancer with two Castles against a Mage and a Demon, who weren't fighting each other. I defeated both of them with almost no losses, and I even taunted them – I didn't use Berserk or Charm. There was so much undead amassed that it would have been enough to defeat a Dwarf as well. And the fact that Mages are stronger is undeniable – where else are you going to get so much resistance, luck, and initiative?:confused: :confused: Now imagine a terrifying scenario – the Necromancer has good artifacts (Ice Shield (a must-have), Cursed Ring, Set of Death, a couple of items from Sar-Iss) and an army three to four times larger. What will you do? Use Light and Blessed? Even Slow won't help. Nothing will help – not runes, not magic. I think I'll try playing Necromancer against a Dwarf 2v2.

P.S. Don't listen to this mish-gun; he clearly only plays against noobs.

......
My questions for you:
1. I like Education, but which ability should I take it instead of?
2. If you think Summoning is better than Light in this case, please explain why?
3. Describe what build you would choose (up to level 25).

Thank you in advance!....

1. You need to make this choice yourself, depending on the situation... but Education is especially important against Orcs.
2. Many know that Mines are effective against Orcs... however, in the late game, they will only remove Rage. But Phantom or Celestial Shield can play a decisive role. I don't think Light is very effective against Orcs... although there are spells like Divine Retribution, Dodge, and Haste.
3. Ingvar: (against Orcs) -
1. Defense in Battle Magic (because we'll probably find Ingvar) + or without a rune in Hero Magic + Etherealness.
2. Education, Attraction, although you can also use Rune Recall.
3. Max out Runes... they are your best friends.
4. Leadership up to Inspiration... (that's 20-21).
5. Finally, take Light, because it's hard to cast spells without Magic. Light up to Secrets of Light is possible, Divine Force + Haste... however, check for Dodge; if it's there, take Protection.
There's another trick: if the guild has really bad Light spells (Antimagic, Holy Word, etc.), it's better to take Luck instead of Light!)))
Helmar: (against Orcs) -
1. You can take all the starting Light perks or go into Secrets.
2. Defense, like Ingvar.
3. Max out Runes.
4. Leadership, probably, but you can also take Luck....
....I took Summoning for Erling, and I don't really recommend taking it for Ingvar or others:smile44:

Some people are arguing that you're all too negative... although I'll say a few words about Gnomes against Necromancers.
A skilled Necromancer, if he has more than one Castle, will most likely win... there's too much meat + Darkness + Summoning (if it's Naadir) or someone else... but even if you take the magic spells separately, the Necromancer is still at an advantage.
But if he has only one Castle, a skilled Necromancer will have to struggle... the chances are almost equal; it all depends on luck with artifacts and skill.)))
If the Necromancer has more than two Castles and the artifacts are not that great, the Gnomes will be crushed, unless the Gnome has another Gnome Castle or two.
However, what I've seen in the posts is surprising... if someone says they've played with players who played on the Heroes of Might and Magic V, you can listen to them, because everyone plays differently.
For example, I haven't played on Heroes of Might and Magic V, but I have friends who play well, and that's how I learned...
My motto in Heroes is: "If someone plays better than you, it's more interesting to play with them, that's why I like to surprise my opponents!)))"

It's hard for me to add anything else since you don't seem to grasp obvious things!
