Posts from Balance in Heroes 5.

In my opinion, the balance in Heroes 5 is questionable. What do you think?

You could have at least mentioned which side had the advantage back then.

:) Before patch 1.3, the balance favored the Necropolis, after that, it favored Inferno. I hope patch 1.4 will improve the situation for the Dark Elves. :)

The Dark faction never felt weak, so there's no need for that.
And even in 1.3, if Inferno was buffed, it was only a very slight change.

The balance is a bit weak... Especially in duels...

there's an old joke about this:

-dad, is there balance in the world?

-no, son, that's just fantasy.

this is to say that balance will never exist, but Nival is striving for it. At least, there's more balance than in Heroes of Might and Magic III.

Maybe, but I think the opposite!

I understand that you're a big fan of Heroes of Might and Magic III, but with all due respect to you and the game – the balance doesn't even seem to acknowledge that such a game exists.

The balance is so-so! It's hard to defeat the Necropolis! They are always one step ahead of you (in terms of army building)!

It has always been this way! And the abilities of other factions are just a pathetic attempt to fix it!

What do you think about the balance changes regarding the Dwarves in the game? Personally, I think that if the Dwarves are made as powerful as they promise, then the Dwarves can only be defeated by other Dwarves.

Yes, the game has a decent balance. It has been worse before. But there's no perfect counter to everything. I think mages are too powerful – let's remove them from the game... :) It's all about tactics. And historically, before the World War II expansion, was the balance in favor of anyone? If you don't like a particular faction and think it's weak, choose another one. And when, for example, Necromancers make up more than 50% of the players, then you can talk about a poor balance...

And that's true! As everyone knows, Necropolis is currently the weakest faction... but it's the most numerous... and more people play it... although quantity doesn't compare to quality!

One moment you say the balance is good, the next you say Necropolis is the weakest... make up your mind.

It’s impossible to make six factions ABSOLUTELY balanced; there will always be someone stronger and someone weaker. Plus, there’s the subjective opinion of each player… and so on. The balance in Heroes is good (the best in the entire series). And if you look at the discussions, you’ll see that everyone has called different factions the strongest and the weakest… These kinds of debates prove that balance exists.
