Posts from Which castle do you like best in Heroes 2?

But they are strong and love to eat:mad: ... my units:mad:

If they manage to get there...:p

The Necromancer is my favorite due to the black dragons. But everyone loves to play with them. This Castle should be chosen on difficult maps with many enemies and resources, like in Broken Alliance. I don't really like the Barbarians and Knights. They are good for playing on small maps where you can quickly achieve victory. In other cases, they are overwhelmed by stronger creatures and upgraded magic. The Sorcerer. I like it for its beautiful Castle and original creatures. But I don't understand the exorbitant price of the Titans. 5000 for a creature in the second game, where there are no Capitols, is a rip-off. Also, I'm annoyed by the faces of their heroes – they look like purple alcoholics, not sorcerers. The Necromancer. My least favorite Castle in the second part. I don't even know why. Their necromancy is not very effective, and almost all of their creatures, except for vampires, are extremely slow. Bone dragons die quickly under the pressure of small creatures. In short, it's a terrible Castle. The Elves. My favorite Castle :) The High Elf Guard and Druids are simply devastating. All creatures are well-balanced, and Phoenixes give a 100-point advantage over bone dragons and are not very expensive. Plus, the heroes have potentially strong magical abilities. And the Elves themselves are just pleasant to interact with. They are much more attractive than the savage blue faces of the Necromancers. I even had a favorite Elf – her name was Carlawn

Nah, the Titans are worth it... Just kidding, they're the ONLY unit capable of fighting Black Dragons... And they're ranged units too...
After playing the second game, I realized that Warlocks are the best... Gold income is INSANE... All units are extremely useful...
Centaur is the only level 1 unit with decent stats (the best among equals),
Gargoyle is the perfect unit for the second level (and a pretty good one at that)...
Griffin - no need to comment. An eternal answer.
Minotaur is the only weak unit. But once they reach a certain level, they tear everything apart!
Hydra - the MAIN thing

Barbarians rule! I'm currently playing on a very large map, and all the castles are located near water! :( But there are no Barbarians! So I was able to develop peacefully and then go and defeat everyone else (they couldn't get close to me).

The map is called, I think, Dominion. :D

Overall, in Heroes, I usually play as the good guys, and my favorite faction is Haven, but in the second game, it seems a bit weak, so I decided to choose the Academy (mages).

But in Heroes of Might and Magic II, the Academy Castle doesn't exist at all. But if we're talking about the same thing, then I agree.

But in the second game, there isn't a Castle of the Academy at all. But if we're talking about the same thing, then I agree.

I don't remember what it's called :D

It's called the Wizard's Castle. And the best castle is the one belonging to the Necropolis...

The undead faction doesn't have Death Knights.

Also, a good castle – a wizard’s castle!

To be honest, I never liked the Sorceress's Castle. Probably that's why I almost never played with it. I remember that the elves there looked like the ones from the first game, similar to Robin Hood.

Undead and Barbarians rule! (A decent starting hero and a powerful army! :) )

Wizards, definitely!

Wizards, definitely!

it depends on the map...

I like the Knights. Firstly, it's more challenging to play as them because their troops are weak, and secondly, it creates a luxurious atmosphere.

Hmm, I think the opposite! Since the Knights are one of the cheapest factions, it's much easier to play as them! Gather a larger army and go crush everyone!:smile14:
