But they have serious problems with combat skills!

Well, not always... attack/defense can be improved quite often. And if needed, we'll get it with artifacts;) Plus, magic will help... despite the resistance!!! ;)

If it works! And the best class is the battlemage (balance, you know), so Barbarians are pretty good against any enemy!

Yes, I agree! Battle Mages are the best! I actually often develop something in between – not a mage, not a warrior... a versatile character!

That’s how I do it too! It’s hard without magic, but you shouldn’t focus on it too much! That’s why Barbarians are the best option!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo =)) But in general, everyone has their own preferences... Barbarians are, in my opinion, not very versatile.

At the beginning, when заклов aren't very effective and they have few troops, and once a powerful combat mage levels up, we'll have already captured a town with a good guild!

Yes... provided that it exists!
But what if the map is XL, for two players, and there are approximately 5 Barbarian and 2 Academy castles???
I had something similar before...
BUT overall, the idea is correct (If an idea comes to mind to several good people, it is a GOOD idea).

It rarely happens! In random maps (I only play on them), there are always a lot of Castles, and 3-4 different types!

But still, it's better to find someone who, with the right strategy, becomes a multiclass hero in their HOME TOWN... (From the campaigns – Jelu, I know for sure).

Some heroes always have a combat-focused build: mage, alchemist, demon, death knight, etc.

I play Necropolis and Inferno! On very large maps, if there are several Inferno castles, demons rule! Because you build Fire Gates and get a free teleport! I also used this method to defend my castles.

That's if there are multiple Inferno factions! I still prefer Barbarians...

The best unit combination in castles is having two archers. This applies to: Dungeon, Humans, and Barbarians. Castles with other combinations are doomed to fail. The exceptions are Undead and Elves. But having only one of them prevents them from rising above 3rd place. Although these are worthy castles. NO OFFENSE!

And what about the elements? They have two archers!
