Okay, then why would a mage hope to hit a hero with a spell if there are units available?

because without buffers, the battle is lost.

I didn't understand the answer... What do buffs have to do with it? That's clear. Right now, we're talking about the fact that a Chaos mage won't waste mana on a tiny amount of hero health. He'll immediately attack the troops, and if he's lucky and can research Hypnosis in his castle, it's better to research IV-level Haven magic and have his creatures destroy your army.

I didn't understand what you wrote either, and Buff is relevant here because it's better to attack the hero than the creatures.

Oh yeah! I like it, and full protection is great! :super:
I don't think it's a cheat, like some people call it ;)

a Barbarian needs magic, especially the kind that removes spells!
In general, it's best to start building resistance against mages immediately, and then try to acquire magic.

A Barbarian with magic?
That's why he's a Barbarian, not to take everyone down with a single spell, but to bash everyone with a club...
A Barbarian needs a Ring of Life and 5555 skills. Then he's simply unbeatable!
I had a situation like this: I had a Chaos hero-caster, level 25, with 5555 Chaos magic, about 20 Medusas and 100 Bandits, a few Orcs, and 6 Nightmares. He had one Barbarian hero, level 25... and he beat me.

well, because at level 25, players don't go around with a large army like you do, and instead they create 4-6 heroes + a Chaos Devil or Hydras, and the Barbarian is doomed.

mage versus barbarian... hmm... that happened often
one mage was really doomed :D
but every mage should have their own "barbarian" with anti-magic
then there won't be any doom

*I look away from the hero-barbarian of a certain level, who is running around the battlefield, cursing, while being chased by a crowd of summoned creatures.* Huh? What? Antimagic? Hmm, I didn't even notice...
Seriously, Nature and Life don't care much about antimagic. Whether it's a Void Dragon, a Chaos Dragon, or a barbarian with his friends - they don't care. The main thing is that it doesn't interfere with their own casting. A chaosite will cause them more trouble. Although, the chaosite hopelessly loses to the barbarian if the mage is without an army. Once again, we are convinced that there IS BALANCE in Heroes 4! :D

P.S. I know that the idea is not new, I think I myself said something about it, but a long time ago and it's not true.

Of course, it's good, but it takes a long time to download, and the Barbarian needs at least 1-2 levels of Life or Haven magic, just to be able to cast spells on the army.

What?
By the endgame, the Barbarian doesn't need an army at all - 7 heroes (Barbarians) is enough.
