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

Dear Mish-gan, I'll repeat once again that any faction can defeat any other if you know how to play. The game was made by professionals, and they did a very good job. I'm not arguing that there are some imbalances, but only in certain stages. If you don't believe ordinary players, go to the tournament section and read the reports of the best players.

I have explained my position, but you haven't bothered to do the same.

P.S. If you can't win against a specific faction, that doesn't mean it's impossible.

...The game was made by professionals and they did a very good job. I'm not arguing that there are some imbalances, but only in certain stages. If you don't believe me...

I disagree with you. But I'm writing this not for you and not to argue with you (I don't see the point in that), but for those who don't consider my advice useless.

Soldier's Luck increases the chances of stunning by vampire princes (they, like lords, often attack without receiving damage in return, and the princes' stats are higher) and the chance of stunning by skeleton warriors. Skeleton warriors are, of course, quickly destroyed (in your hands, zombie peasant), but you don't have to expose them to attack. And even if there are few of them left, they can significantly help with their stunning.
The fact that Luck is taken as a skill will allow you to put some other useful artifact on the luck slot instead of an artifact that increases luck. So the argument about losing a slot is simply absurd. Luck will not be superfluous for any race.

A conversation between the blind and the deaf ;) I would like to ask the Zombie Peasant – who does he recruit into his undead army when playing against dwarves? Which skills does he consider a priority, and which are unnecessary (I've read about "Luck," but I would like facts, as "Soldier's Luck," contrary to all rumors, increases the chance of vampires putting units to sleep)? Perhaps he has discovered new ways to play as a necromancer?

I mean that Necromancer is much easier against Dwarf in the early stages, while Dwarf is easier in the late game. Yes, Dwarves rarely survive an early rush, but it's very difficult to play against them in the late game. I think that's where the balance lies.

Well said that the imbalance is only in certain stages...
and in the next post, you talked about the possibility of rushing Necromancer against Dwarf... aren't these imbalances?! The problem with Dwarves is that they rarely survive an early rush.

:smile24: :smile24: :smile24: What does "кого" mean? We take everyone. Regarding new strategies, how about a defense with stone strength? Necromancer tactics are mainly focused on magic, not troops, because statistically, they are almost complete underdogs. The main task is to prolong the battle, use as much plague as possible, dispel is a must, berserk and mind control are not very useful against Dwarves (too bad about the elemental dragons). The main difficulty is the dragons, so they need to be barricaded somehow, maybe with a Phoenix. Also, if the hero is a spellcaster, it's better to quickly eliminate the tent that removes blindness. I think you can also cast weakness and definitely scream. Well, then it's simple - vampirism on ghosts, and unholy word.

Regarding skills, we take defense, darkness, summoning, spell power, and wisdom. Standard for Necromancer, nothing better. I've already calculated that 30% defense is better than 3 luck.

At the request of some forum members, I visited the online tournaments and started reading the reports... I got so engrossed that I read until midnight. I found a lot of useful information for myself; some situations are familiar... a lot of interesting things... I especially liked the post about Erling + Chaos + Phoenix Feathers. I advise everyone who hasn't been there to take a look; you won't regret it!

Well, there are dwarves who follow the path of light, and there, fistfights and more take place))) Mish-gan, do you like berserkers among the dwarves??? They really look like boxers, only with brass knuckles)))

I think priests are better; their abilities are great. When they are attacked, they become stronger, and they also have an ability that can stun giants. As for berserkers, it's better to eliminate them quickly, so they can be dangerous against a player.

Try and post your endgame save!

P.S: No comments!

Dreamer, come down to earth. You're listing more than ten spells, and with whom are you playing? Even in the late game, with heroes at level 20-25 and a large undead army with magic, you can cast at best three or four spells before the complete defeat, and even then, with dwarven luck (+50%) and magic resistance (+15%), they will only work in 35% of cases! These are obvious facts! And practice shows that with the energy rune, even before the first turn of the necromancer hero Erla, Bearmen and especially Dragons - will destroy at worst more than 50% of the undead army!

Berserkers are feared by everyone:D
