Posts from - Tactics skill in Heroes 3.

At the very beginning of the game, tactics really help to minimize losses, as shown in the example above. However, later on, all of this becomes irrelevant. And unit placement won't help when it comes to leveled-up heroes. It's just an extra occupied slot. In the early stages, I don't rush to get archers in the first week of the game unless there's an urgent need. In the second week and beyond, there are no problems completing a battle without losses.

Sorry, buddy, but you're wrong... Tactics help in all stages of the game in 90% of cases; exceptions are very rare. Okay, let's say you don't attack with ranged units in the first week, although usually 1-2 ranged units should be used in any game from the very beginning. But let's say it's the beginning of the third week, you're in a treasure and see some Book of the Earth guarded by at least not very strong, but unpleasant Ghost Dragons (or, for example, Archangels, Archdevils, etc.), and your main troops consist of 15-20 ducks, 1-2 angels, and a large number of ranged units; and if you still say that Tactics are useless in this case, then one of us clearly doesn't understand anything about this game:o... This will be especially obvious if you attack them without ranged units and get wiped out, or at least lose half of your army, while your opponent is pressuring and is right there nearby (and will take the treasure) or has already attacked your main base. Or, a classic example: Shakti vs. Kirr, let's say it's the middle of the second week, Kirr has a hidden elven town with about 30 elves, but she "proudly" refused Tactics and took some super-useful Wisdom:D, and she has, let's say, 1-2 angels on her reserve list. Then Shakti comes with 3-4 angels and supporting units, the stats are equal, but Kirr has all her counter-strategy based on elves because she hasn't found anything else yet - guess who will win:rolleyes:, and in the opposite case - both have Tactics, and let's say the elves are on the opposite side of the map from the miner's angels, they close themselves off and can quite possibly win.

Yeah, I was wrong.

You're all wrong :)

You're all wrong :)

in my opinion, tactics are needed, in most cases.

After reading all this, one can draw a firm conclusion: the battle strategy is different for everyone, as are their needs.
I don't use tactics and won't. And I've already been convinced more than once that I don't need this skill. You think it's an awesome skill, go ahead and use it =)

Prove your skills online or offline – play against strong players, and then your opinion will matter.

Not knowing the tournament rules isn't a bad thing. Maybe it's the person's first time playing. What matters more is not how you play the first time, but how you play after a few months. Everyone can express their thoughts on the forums, even if they are incorrect from the point of view of the majority. And you need to treat this quite calmly. In the official game, tactics are used much less often.
