Posts from The weakest castle in Heroes of Might and Magic IV!

And who will protect the monks? If the vampires reach them, the monks are doomed! And let's not forget about the vampire's touch...

And who will protect the monks? If the vampires reach them, the monks are doomed! And we shouldn't forget about the vampire's touch...

But the vampires still need to fly over...
But of course, Death has a super unit - a poisonous creature. It's a ranged attacker that throws poison.
But there are also ballistas, and the vampire will break its teeth on them:D
And you can protect them with the same ballistas.

Ballistae are useless in melee combat... But you can use ghosts or devils against ballistae...

Ballistas are useless in hand-to-hand combat... But you can throw ghosts or devils against ballistas...

However, ghosts won't be able to age them.

But at least ghosts won't be able to age them.

But stopping them... of course!:D

but stop... of course!:D

Oops. Didn't think that through. But at least no one will touch the monk.

The Chaos Druid will... :) and how!:D

The Chaos Dragon will be touched... :) and how!:D

But Necropolis doesn't have a black dragon, and in general, life isn't the best castle.

The Devil will easily take down any unit because it has a life enchantment!:p And if it also has an aura of fear and vampire touch...:rolleyes:

I agree, this is indeed a problem, especially when raising Ice Demons.

I agree, this is indeed a problem, especially when it comes to summoning Ice Demons.

Also, it seems that in "Whirlwind of War," you can summon a larger number of devils compared to demons (like 20 devils - more demons!).

Calculate the number of devils multiplied by 1.5... Don't forget that the guardian angel costs 12 mana, and its removal costs 2...

I don't really know... I'll try to reason like a complete newbie, but here goes. For some reason, I sailed through all the Campaigns for the Humans in all the expansions and the original game without any problems. But with other races, I get stuck after 2-3 maps, and then they just get crushed like noobs. I really liked the Champions. First Strike is one of the most useful skills, in my opinion, in Heroes 4. It lets you feel much more secure. True, it can be cast massively for a tiny amount of mana by many spells... Angels didn't really impress me =). I don't know... I didn't find any weak units at all. Not a single one. That's a good thing. Squires can at least stun... Archers, of course... Pikemen with Retaliation can often be used, ballistae are good in sieges, etc. In other races, I noticed some units that are never used... Death is a prime example. Imps, skeletons, ghosts, even cerberi - I rarely used them in battle. That is, in battle, the enemy may not even worry and can switch to, for example, only destroying vampires or devils/bone dragons. This is not very good. Chaos is certainly strong, but rogues are rarely used, orcs... Medusas are good here, the other units are also decent, but of course, the Dread Lord is excellent. Order... I don't know why, but it seems to me that halflings are the most powerful unit among all other level 1 units. I know that their damage is 1-2 and their health is slightly more than a sprite... but somehow there are many more of them than the others, and besides, they are also killers. I like all the units in Order. Dwarves are good for finishing off. I don't like Might =). So, from everything I said above, I'll conclude: I didn't say anything new for fans of part 4, I just stated a couple of facts from the point of view of a newbie, if you want, a beginner in Heroes 4. But for some reason, for a beginner, the Life Castle is not the weakest, and Death seems just pathetic... P.S. I played in Equilibrium, one of the latest versions

I don't really know... I'll try to reason like a complete newbie, but still. For some reason, I completed all the Campaigns for Humans in all the game's expansions and in the original without any problems, but for other races, I only got through 2-3 maps, and then they just get crushed like noobs.

Well, it's a matter of taste... But it's quite possible to succeed with other races, Nature is great.

Angels aren't very good =). I don't know...

No, they're fine, they can resurrect.

Death is a prime example. Imps, skeletons, ghosts, even cerberuses - I rarely used them in battle. That is, in battle, the enemy may not worry too much and can focus, for example, only on destroying vampires or devils/bone dragons. This isn't very good.

Imps help drain mana from the hero, ghosts age the unit, cerberuses attack with 3 heads and no one can retaliate, the poisonous creature is a super unit - 100 HP, poison attack - a serious opponent, devils - 50% protection from life.

I don't know why, but it seems to me that halflings are the most powerful unit among all other level 1 units. I know that their damage is 1-2 and their health is slightly more than a pixie... but somehow there are much more of them than the others, and on top of that, they are also killers.

Well, that's because they are archers, and they deal additional damage to level 4 units

Crossbowmen are better than Hobbits! Even though there are fewer of them... When firing across the entire battlefield, Hobbits have penalties, but crossbowmen don't...
