Posts from All castles in Heroes 3.

Inferno is cooler: Viper
Elementals are better:D
Nah, Necropolis rules;)
b) Liches... they are generally the second-best ranged unit among neutral creatures, after Titans...
And if you protect Liches from melee combat, the unit that will be protecting them won't be able to participate in the attack!
c) Magic won't help much here. Mana is not infinite, and powerful spells are expensive (Explosion costs 25 units with an Expert Earth Magic skill %( ).
Indeed, the Black Dragon in HOMM3 is a very inconvenient unit - expensive, slow (in the sense that while you are building everything necessary in the Barbarian castle, monsters will be growing by 3 per week for a month).
And for the Black Dragon, you need ALL creatures up to it + 2 levels of the Red Mage Guild - even with abundant resources, it will only be ready by the second week!
Where did you get the figure of three monsters per week? The growth rate is 1 + 1 castle unit = 2!
At best, you will get: +4 monsters - with a normal map and a good economy.
And in the Dungeon, everything is normal, all five levels, and with a bit of luck, you can get a Portal, and with it, Chain Lightning, Rain, or Armageddon (which is ideal for a mage, which is how I play), and for dessert, Explosion or Dimension Door. So, the Dungeon is powerful!
Yeah, and you can also get, if I remember correctly, Magic Mirror, Walk Through Walls, Inferno - practically wasted resources.
Very simple. There are no problems with the Elven faction. Thanks to the very cheap price, the Barbarians have enough income of 2000 to buy all the growth (all upgraded creatures).
Let's take, for example, the second-to-last difficulty level (on the last one, the Dungeon won't get enough sulfur and will be out of the game).
Buildings to be erected in stages.
Week 1
Wolf Riders (if there is a building for them, then immediately Rocs)
Orcs
Rocs
Ogres
Monsters (finding 6 crystals is not a problem)
Stronghold
Hall of Valhalla
Week 2
Buying growth
Market
Castle
Unit upgrades
Week 3
Buying growth (that's 4 Monsters) and a campaign against the Dungeon.
By this time, the Dungeon, with all due respect, will not have a 5th-level guild in any way. Either Dragons or a guild. In addition, do not forget that 1 on 1, Barbarian units are stronger than any other, of the same level.
1. You will still have to find where the enemy castle is located in the third week. How are you going to do that?
2. Even if you are lucky and find it, you need a very rich map so that there is enough to upgrade and build buildings and units.
3. Even if you are lucky here too, and everything is built and bought, doesn't it seem to you that you will have to spend a week on the road? It's a large map after all.
How will you storm the castle? Neither Dragons nor a 5th-level guild will be needed here :) it will be enough to have a week's worth of growth more than you have.
Don't you think that saying: "Very simple. There are no problems with the Elven faction" is still not very good, and may even be a little stupid (no offense)? ;)

My favorite castle is the Bastion. It is the first castle that I played, my favorite hero is Roland, and horned unicorns are my favorite creatures in Heroes. :)
And I prefer to play depending on my mood. Except perhaps for the Fortress.
I think it is not very correct to talk about which castle is better, because it will all depend on the map. Or almost all.

There is no best castle, because there is such a thing as balance:D
But I always play as Necropolis, sometimes as Dungeon...
My hero is Sandro, of course... I like maps with the letter L.
I really love Heroes, especially the third one :D
I wanted to play with neutral and sniper units, but I couldn't find where to do that. Help me, please? On the topic: I play more often as humans!
