Anything is possible, but the fact remains that Necropolis has everything in balance, and even more: negative characteristics don't affect them, they are not expensive, the army grows during battles, the units are beautiful, and each of them has its own unique features. Any warrior who joins them can be turned into one of their own. Their super ability is necromancy, and their skills (cold strike, screams, howls, cursed lands...) all work.
I agree, but the Warlock has: chains of elements, arcane waves, plague tent, earthquake, mana explosion, and arcane luck.

As long as everything works, I don't remember what mana burst does. So, you think Warlocks are the strongest, but at the beginning, they don't have all these advantages, and with their high cost and small stat increase, there are certain problems.

It burns units that are about to cast spells (like liches) for 10 damage per hero level.

But not at the beginning, they are good on huge maps when you can accumulate units and build a castle. But the units have a price-quality ratio.

Well, the voting already shows everything; Necropolis is, as always, the most popular. It seems people are always drawn to places from which no one ever returns.

Maybe, but it also draws people in because Necropolis is presented as the strongest faction in the game, especially due to Heroes 3. As for me, I'm torn between Elves and Dark Elves.

More likely, Liches won't let Skeletons near them, and Liches can cast spells. A single shot in 1-2 turns is enough.
But even so, they can still cause trouble in the enemy ranks. The main thing is to take out the

But initially, they are good on huge maps where you can accumulate units and build a castle. However, the units have a poor cost-effectiveness ratio.
Yes, why would you waste a hero's turn to burn liches? Or is this a constant effect on all mages? If so, liches are also quite effective with their blades, and their spells aren't that great. It's better to spend mana on Pit Lords' "Mana Burst" or Druids.

Well, I wouldn't say that Necropolis is *that* strong in Heroes of Might and Magic III (unless you consider the Amulet of the Lich, of course ;)), I think that Conflux is stronger, but in Heroes of Might and Magic V, Conflux isn't available yet, so Necropolis is very strong, although I prefer Haven, but it requires a lot of money!

Come on, only 3 people voted, and you're already drawing conclusions. Now, the fans of the other factions will come and they'll have to split their votes between the good and not-so-good ones. Necropolis is consistently popular and has no real alternative; death is death.

I agree, but it's not available, so people choose Necropolis. But I hope it will be in the second expansion pack, because in the editor it says: dwelling of phoenixes and firebirds.

Although, I like Haven, but it requires a lot of money!
Especially for retraining, and it's also bad that militia don't pay taxes.:mad:

Could you elaborate on what people like? If you don't like the main feature of training, you should have enough money; gather peasants and improve your treasury.

You need to have enough money, so gather peasants and improve your treasury.
But I want to turn the peasants into archers, because as units, they are useless. However, for Necromancers who have the Death Messenger skill, they get free skeletons.

You still need to upgrade the skeletons into archers, and if you defeat them (which is very easy to do), then skeleton archers will be completely free and will also give you a little experience. I just haven't developed the Death Herald skill yet and haven't tried it, so I was just making assumptions.

I agree, but in buildings, peasants simply join, so you can send one hero to gather peasants, who can then be turned into archers.

Just like any joined unit, and level 1 units are all bought for free in dwellings, although there aren't many of them, maybe two dozen. It's faster to run around the map and recruit them. Necropolis is still better in many parameters, which makes them the strongest faction in Heroes 5, all other things being equal.
