Posts from Heroes 6 - Discussion

Yesterday, I finished the map "Angels Also Cry." The mission ends with a cutscene in which the Dark Elves are going to show the whole world what they're made of.

Only noobs read guides!
Seriously, is it really so cool to learn about a "NON-STANDARD!!!1" move by reading it in a guide from another player? Lol, I'm a pro, I've read a hundred guides, fear me.

Pros actually use standard imbalances, everything is clearly according to the template. But sometimes it's so nice to outplay a pro with a non-standard, unexpected move.

The more diverse your arsenal of techniques, the easier it is to build non-standard tactics on them.

Everyone has their own tactics, but they should all know the basics.

"Naggers" are just using standard imbalances, everything is clearly according to a template. But sometimes it's so nice to beat a "nagger" with an unconventional, unexpected move.

The more different techniques you have in your arsenal, the easier it is to build unconventional tactics on them.

“Naggers” are good players, what are these users of standard templates? If it's more convenient, let's replace "nagger" with "pro."
When these techniques have already been used, what's so unconventional about them?

These techniques have already been used; what's so unconventional about them?

It's about an unconventional combination of techniques. The more techniques you know (as mentioned above – the more knowledge you have), the more combinations you can create.

"Naggers" are like rushers or dark rushers in Heroes of Might and Magic V.

"Pro" is a whole different level; I simply don't have the patience to play with them – it takes too long to wait for their turn, and in essence, there's nothing new; they just pay attention to all the details.

I'm curious about where Railag came from, as the story takes place 4 centuries before his time.

"Reinforcements" is better for a warrior, while "Drain" is better for a mage.

So, is Kirill a warrior, or am I wrong?

In each campaign, you can choose any character class.

Drain Life – blood (and generally the only blood-based healing ability), while Reinforce – tears. This is also important if you are developing towards blood magic.

As far as I understand, Railag was an elf, and they live for a long time, and then he becomes a demon, which will basically live forever.

As far as I understand, Railag was an elf, and they live a long time, plus he later becomes a demon, who will basically live forever.

I think it's the other way around; in the fifth game, he was a demon first, and then he became an elf.

Apparently, he was reborn twice :D

2. Which class is better to play against humans? Mage, Warrior, or which race?

Well, at the very least, playing as Humans against Humans is definitely a good option :D

It mentioned that he wasn't always a demon.

Thank you!
1. Is the "intimidating appearance" ability that was cast on you also a passive skill?
2. Which hero or race is best to play against Humans? Mage, Warrior, or which race?

1. It's a passive ability. Any warrior standing within two squares of the Devastator will only attack it (except for Necromancers and those with mind control immunity).
Once, in a duel (I was playing as Sanctuary), the opponent cast Petrify on the Devastator, and the units standing nearby lost their turn – they couldn't attack the Devastator, so I had to move them away first and then attack with other units. He won thanks to the skillful use of Devastators and their reinforcements. However, in the next duel, I defeated that player by destroying the Devastators on my first turn.
2. Against Humans? It all depends on the opponent's tactics. Again, I played as Sanctuary against Humans in a duel. The player adopted a passive position, placing his units in a tight formation: the first line consisted of archers, Luminaries, and Dryads, with a Guardian in the center flanked by Angels and Griffins, and another Luminary in front of the Guardian for cover. It was like a square formation. The Guardian in the center absorbed some of the damage from other units and also weakened them by 25%. The Angels and Dryads resurrected units, the Griffins didn't move, and only the Luminaries and archers attacked.
As a result, the Humans were already strong, but the damage dealt to them was reduced by more than half – the Luminaries attacked without retaliation and also blinded, and the archers decimated several units. I tried to lure his units into a fight, but it was useless; he didn't move them, and he defeated me.
But the next time, I defeated him with the same hero – Irina, a Sanctuary mage – and it was a crushing victory. On my first turn, I placed a Poison Cloud over his formation, which covered all his units and lasted until the end of the battle, dealing 580 damage each turn. He realized what was happening on his third turn and started moving his square formation out from under the cloud, and that's when the Sanctuary units took over – if they fight one-on-one, they are stronger than Human units. But if I had a warrior instead of a mage, I wouldn't have been able to break up his formation.

The text mentioned that he wasn't always a demon.

So, we'll see how he became one...
