Ereb

the starting conditions are 300% better for him than for Hafiz - you're exaggerating :D

But if you look at it that way - yes, Nura might seem good at the start - but her troops are terrible!!! Even mini-arts won't help her!!!

Starting with Nura, with the arrow skill and infinite mana in the first two weeks, had an amazing effect on me. I don't play with Hafiz because he's a machine... it's a pity, of course, that the ability is completely useless in the late game!

Yes, replays... and if possible, a replay about Razazak and golems with a wall, please... I would be grateful!

Here's a question about the efficiency of skill development.
If I'm playing as the Academy, I take the Knight. I've tried two development paths:
1) Sorcery - Education - Light - Darkness - Summoning
2) Sorcery - Education - Light - Summoning - Defense
The hero is maxed out at level 24. In your experience, what's better for an Academy hero – three magic skills or two magic skills and defense?

P.S. The opponent isn't a Necromancer, so the question of Darkness is resolved when it arises.

It still makes sense to start this conversation with the following:
- who are we playing against
- what is the size of the map.

1) Play against everyone. The opponent is varied and always random.
2) The map is either medium-sized or Wastelands (small, but with great possibilities), for example. That is, there is a place to develop and resources are also available.

Arcane Knowledge grants all 4 magic skills at the expert level; personally, I don't take Defense at all. Ideally, for Haven: Arcane Knowledge - Leadership (Loyalty of Machines - speed aura) - Logistics (Golem March). For creature artifacts: initiative + morale + luck for ranged units, speed for melee units. Artifacts for the hero: Lion set + two Sarissa (armor + ring) + two Necromancer (staff + cloak) + ring of speed (20% initiative). It becomes very fun when Haven starts going even more often, and the units don't fall behind.

Leadership and logistics are practically impossible for a mage, considering the probability of obtaining these skills. However, defense is exactly what a mage needs (although the probability is the same), especially against combat factions, and it won't hurt against magical ones either...
