Posts from Humans vs. Mages

Here's a question: how do you counter a hero mage? A hero who casts Armageddon twice and constantly freezes my cavalry easily wins. No matter how hard I try, in the end, he has his gargoyles, I have horses, and I simply can't move them because the hero constantly casts a freezing spell on me. Resurrection would help, but unfortunately, the Knight doesn't have enough mana; he can only resurrect once. So, how do you deal with them?

Do you respect White Magic? It can help you. (See the "Antimagic" spell there).

Yes, Antimagic will definitely help, I guarantee it!...however, if you're playing against a mage, you can defeat him much earlier in the early game, around turn 3 or 4...you'll have an advantage in intelligence and combat ability...the main thing is to know what the mage relies on; if it's summoning, then he's unlikely to be effective with 3-4 turns of summoning 120 archers...what I want to say is that a skilled player using Haven can launch a small rush or, at least, scout out what the mage is doing...that is, the mage will focus on developing his magic and wizardry or education...
but if the game has been going on for more than two months, it will be more difficult to play against a mage...however, there is an effective solution for this situation...inspiring your troops will allow them to make good progress, and the shackle and tomb won't stand a chance...Or, you could go through Darkness and the Fallen Knight; then, the Rakshasa-Kshatriya will destroy half of his army...yes, I think Darkness is better against a mage!

download Light and try to get the Angel Guardian skill (resurrects the strongest unit); don't take any level 1 creatures, divide the Angels and create Archangels and Seraphim. I often do this and use the following tactic:
send Seraphim into battle, let them be killed, then resurrect them with an Archangel, and buff them with your hero. Then, use the Seraphim to cast Divine Retribution. I remember defeating 60-70 Archmages with 5 Seraphim, and then resurrecting as many warriors as possible with the hero to minimize losses, or using Divine Retribution to eliminate them and then resurrecting them. To make this tactic work and minimize losses, increase Leadership, Defense, and Light Magic.

Yes, the guardian angel is certainly a unique ability, but it doesn't resurrect the entire squad, only a large portion of it. And I think it's best to use darkness against mages, as you have berserk against Kshatriyas and blindness against Titans. Overall, I think you should focus on developing light, darkness, and attack, as well as luck. Magic artifacts wouldn't hurt either.

The Guardian Angel is very useful when the armies are evenly matched, especially if, for example, Axle's Paladins are resurrected (if the corpse isn't covered), in short, it's the strongest unit!

Why would they cover up the corpse? The Archangel resurrects even if there is no corpse.

What does covering up a corpse have to do with it? An Archangel can resurrect even if there is no corpse.

That's not true ;)

Isn't that true? Does he not resurrect anyone? Antonag07, you've already posted so much nonsense on this forum that it's unbelievable. How long have you actually been playing Heroes?

I specifically checked this ability with Axel in a duel; if you close in the Paladins (after they die), others will resurrect, so you can close in the corpses.)))

We won't be able to close in all the corpses anyway.)))

And what if there are no corpses at all, or all the graveyards are closed?

But what if there are no corpses at all, or they are all locked up?

Such a situation is practically impossible (since the Guardian Angel appears immediately after the last squad dies - and he will definitely resurrect it with 100% certainty).

What about Naadir? Does he make ghosts appear immediately on the spot where a corpse is?

I'm not entirely sure, but wouldn't the Guardian Angel ability still work, even with Naadir present? Or am I mistaken in thinking that the Guardian Angel will still activate regardless?

Oh, if it won't be, then it won't be interesting at all.
