I meant, which faction is better to play as against REAL people online?

On the very first turn, I placed a poisonous cloud over his formation, it covered all units and lasts until the end of the battle, dealing 580 damage each turn.

I_N, thank you, very interesting! Describe a couple more battles?

By the way, what do you think of Sanctuary? In terms of comparison with other factions? I've been looking at it for a while, thinking of switching to it from Inferno. It's easy to play Inferno against the AI, but I think it might be difficult against a human.

This is interesting. I don't remember such powerful spells being available until the end of the battle...

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.

This was originally a spell. Earth magic for mage heroes.

But the downside of the cloud is that it hovers over one spot - three by three cells.

Here are some options for balancing: make the Lilim ability usable once per battle instead of once every three turns, or introduce an alternative "mana" for battle cries. Or limit the number of cries, for example, to 10-20 per battle.

This is only suitable for single-player. And if you want, you can come up with many annoying things for multiplayer. :)

The total health of the summoned unit will be equal to X% of the total health of the army at the beginning of the battle.

In other words, the size of the summoned army depends not on the number of units in the stack that we summon, but on the entire army at the beginning of the battle. Therefore, at the end of a long battle, you can summon a decent stack to a desired location on the map!

I wouldn't play with such a smart player again, because they would waste a lot of time with this kind of tactic. Especially if there's no timer.
I generally consider this disrespectful to the opponent.

It won't happen, so it won't. I forgot, he's smart :). And you can defeat the AI even without any tricks.
And the gates, which you suggested using to block passages, I saw a STUPID AI, an Oblivion, approach, and I don't remember if it was with its left or right hand, but it destroyed the gates in one move :). Just stupid, instead of dancing around the gates for 3 turns, asking for permission, it just took them down in a second. :)

But at the start, this ability is almost useless. Only blocking with gates and removing retaliation.

Well, in the 5th game, this was the main tactic for Inferno. Don't you think? In the 6th game, the situation is even better, as they added low-level archers.

And also, I really liked the unique building-teleport. It's a great thing in a strategic sense. Although it's not overpowered, of course.

And the worm also seemed interesting; does it really not attack its own units?

By the way, necromancy also depends on the initial size of the army (the percentages are almost the same as for the gates), and at the beginning, it's almost useless.

But what about in the 5th game, defeating a horde of zombies with just one nymph? :D :D :D
Or with those same Inferno creatures and just one dog? In general, battles for Inferno were long in the 5th game. Only longer battles were against PRO players (a person could spend 20 minutes on each turn after 3 weeks) :)

In Heroes of Might and Magic V, there is a timer during battles. So, the time is more or less fixed.
