The question is as follows. I've read the topics, understood a lot, but I would like to ask specifically about the hero Axel. Could you suggest a universal tactic, development path, and army composition for him? How should he be leveled up? It doesn't have to be a complete guide, just something to help me understand, and then I'll figure it out myself. I'm trying to learn by playing duels, but I keep losing to the Toxic Avenger and the Ranger who buffs archers... It's tough. So, I'm hoping for your help, veterans. :smile32:

Well, the main army is obviously the Knights of Isabel. At the beginning, I try to upgrade the archers to Alt-Archers, along with the knights (who have shields and protect the archers from ranged attacks). This is a pretty good combination for clearing out neutral creatures, but there's a big downside – you'll be short on ore (20 units per upgrade for both buildings). So, at first, you focus on Alt-Archers, and always have knights with shields nearby, and you assign one peasant to each and attack the neutral creatures. Then, you switch to knights and train them in large numbers. The skills depend on your preferences; for me, it's attack, luck, light, logistics, and training.
P.S. I play more as the Academy.

For Humans, the biggest problem is the lack of money.
Axel is the best choice. But he has a poor start. Nevertheless, he will pay off in the long run.
As soon as possible, upgrade archers to marksmen. But at the same time, be sure to build all the buildings for the capital.
Then, always check the tavern and look for Elaine there. Assign all peasants to her to generate income.
It is essential to level up the second hero to at least level 5. Give him the skills "Expert Counterattack" and "Experienced Tactician."
While Axel explores the map, captures mines, and levels up, the second hero stays in the castle and, as soon as resources become available, transforms swordsmen into cavalry.
At first, there won't be enough resources for many cavalry units, but once all the main buildings are built, you need to train at least 5 to strengthen Axel's army.
Upgrading knights won't be possible at first - it's too expensive. It's better to build angels, but not buy them. Let them accumulate.
Against mages with the Darkness faction, use paladins; against the rest, use Isabel's knights.

I like this build: Logistics, Attack (be sure to include Retribution and Tactics), Leadership (very desirable to have a speed aura), Light, and Defense.

Well, the main army is obviously Knights and Isabel. At the very beginning, I try to upgrade archers to the advanced level, along with the Knights (who have shields and protect the archers from ranged attacks). This is a pretty good combination for clearing out neutral creatures, but there's a big drawback – you'll be severely lacking in ore (20 units per upgrade for both buildings).

Who are these?! Maybe armored units?:D And why waste peasants? You have plenty of support units with other heroes.

So, at the beginning, you go for advanced crossbowmen, and you should always have Knights with shields standing nearby. You assign one peasant each and clear out the neutral creatures.

And, for example, wouldn't Archangels be useful for clearing out neutral creatures? How do you fight against various nasty creatures: Archmages, Pit Lords, etc.?

The skills are clear, but the spells will also be useful ;) depending on who you're fighting.

Definitely! You need to level up your second hero to at least level 5. Give him Expert Counterattack and Experienced Tactician.
While Axel explores the map and captures mines, and also levels up, the second hero stays in the castle and, as soon as resources become available, converts swordsmen into cavalry.

And why can only Paladins be trained? Can't you train other units? The second hero also helps in clearing out what's needed at that moment in the game. Vitya is ideal for this role; Dougal seems better than Axel for the main hero role.

Yeah, armored units, either from the third game or something you came up with)), one peasant per stack

I'm talking about the weak initial neutral creatures; later on, of course, it's better to have two stacks of archangels for neutral creatures, archers, and armored units.

The question of training is multifaceted. There are different approaches to it. I prefer to turn monks into knights when I have little money. And then, I first turn swordsmen into monks, and then into knights. Of course, you can also create monks. But Axel is a specialist in knights, and they perform wonderfully under his command.

Axel isn't particularly special at the beginning of the game, but once you have some extra gold, he becomes a killing machine. Specializing in level 6 creatures is already a huge advantage, as in the fifth installment, two level 6 creatures are roughly equal to one level 7 creature, unlike other parts of the game where the last level usually significantly surpasses the previous one. For every 2 levels, the Knights will receive +1 to attack and defense, so at level 40, they will have +20 to attack and defense, which will increase the damage they deal by 100% and reduce the damage they receive by 50%. But that's not all; thanks to the faction skill "Preparation," you can upgrade lower-level troops to Knights. In a week, you can prepare 20 creatures, upgrade 6 Monks to Knights, leaving 14, upgrade 7 Footmen to Monks, and then Monks to Knights, resulting in +13 Knights per week, or a total of 17 level 6 creatures that you can consistently obtain every week. Overall, in my opinion, Axel is the strongest hero in the game, and I often play as him.
