Posts from The strongest castle in Heroes of Might and Magic IV.
Auto-translated
Damage from the Chaos Drake is 55-100 units! Attack is 40 against 28 Phoenixes! In my opinion, the Chaos Drake is better.
The question is different: which is better, 1 Chaos Drake or 2 Phoenixes!?

I'm discussing the battle scenario of 1 Archmage against 2 Phoenixes, I didn't say anything about which is better :)
Okay, a small correction: not who is BETTER, but who is STRONGER!

This is perhaps the only series in Heroes where I leave room for an ambiguous answer regarding the STRONGEST!
Maybe this is due to the fact that Haven and Chaos are opposites, and their mutual hatred introduces a lot of uncertainty into the decisive battle.
Or maybe it's because I haven't actually had the chance to face Chaos against an equally strong Haven.
In any case, I console myself with the thought that Chaos will tear Haven apart (I play as Chaos out of PRINCIPLE and for FUN:)).
And until I actually face Haven, I won't change my mind... that's why I'm still running around the world of Heroes in search of that decisive BATTLE!

firstly, it's easy to besiege (because the shooting of Djinns and Mages knows no obstacles:D, and you can also play around with towers, as I described above)
secondly, it offers more strategic and tactical opportunities - the Town Portal spell (by the way, it can also be used during battle) is a Haven spell, and during battles, I really like to teleport enemies either to myself:D (archers) or away from myself:D (melee units)
thirdly, thanks to slowing and illusions, you can easily win battles against neutral creatures with almost no losses, and almost immediately after building Djinns
But I understand that against Dungeon, these same Djinns and the Mages, whom I love so much in all parts of

And the magic of the town portal during a battle is quite a trick. If the enemy is stronger, you fire a volley at them and then run away! It helps a lot. :D
I usually play as Order with two mage heroes, so it's just amazing. First, one slows everyone down, then the archers and spellcasters beat them up, and one mage teleports everyone, while the other casts various nasty spells like Berserk or summons illusions to attack the enemies. It helps a lot against the AI; it starts to get really confused! The enemy archers and mages are taken out quite easily, as no one can compare to the Order castle in terms of firepower – hobbits on level 1, mages on level 2, djinns on level 3, and titans on level 4.
Real problems only start in battles against another Order player who has built nagas and golems; against black dragons, titans save the day (they have innate resistance to chaos and no penalty for melee attacks) and halflings (they have increased damage at level 4, although it's weak, and usually no one pays attention to them)).
Yes! And that's what makes it so great! It's so much fun to fling some barely-crawling hydra to the opposite end of the map! :D

Yeah, with such arguments (and facts! :D) you can't argue!:rolleyes:

I also greatly respect Haven, but its castle is inferior to the green one.
