Here, I continue the discussion about tactics and tactical capabilities of different factions in "Heroes 5".

It seems that, in general, magic is more effective than melee attacks in the game. I just noticed that, so it's the opposite of what I thought.

Yeah... they don't have much in the way of magic.

Haven relies more on strength than on magic.

Well, why not? Light magic is quite powerful, although a Knight is a Knight, and his job is to fend off Imps with his sword.

STRONG ARMIES IN CONJUNCTION WITH POWERFUL MAGIC ARE AWESOME.

It is rare when there is a balance between Might and Magic.

It's rare to find a balance between Might and Magic.

Why choose either strength or magic? I often use magic in many games where it provides a constant effect, and strength is strength – you can't overpower it.

Haven because they don't have normal magic. Only light and darkness. Light is used to improve units, darkness is used to weaken enemy units, therefore the castle is designed for unit combat, not magic.

Because their magic power hardly increases.

Usually, by the time the first battles between heroes begin, the knights have enough magic points to cast a spell (so that the spell lasts for the entire battle), as the battles are usually not long, lasting 4-5 turns with units having an initiative of 10.

They don't really need it, as there are few spells that deal direct damage.

Well, not exactly Barbarians. Because there's magic. And in Heroes 4, Barbarians don't have any at all. And that's because the hero isn't a Priest, but a Knight.
