Posts from Ina, the cheating heroine.

Regarding the special ability of the Dwarves, I'll agree, it's a good thing, but Mishgan's ability is still more effective. By the way, he's become quite good at playing as Necromancers and even Orcs.
As for the special ability of the Necromancers, I was wrong to criticize it in my previous post. Sorry. It's also an effective ability. It's worth trying, at least against the Dwarves, because their defense is so low that units die very easily. Especially if there's a Cloak of Death, a staff, and a couple of rings that reduce defense. Once you cast Banshee's Wail, they're all doomed. I only managed to defeat Mishgan's Dwarves one-on-one this way, and before that, I couldn't do anything.

Regarding Inga, yes, she's a cheater, or maybe I was just really bad... but I remember clearly when I was playing with Mishgan, the game became noticeably worse:)

It's not that you were bad; Inga is just as much of a cheater as Wingael or Axel. By the way, I can also name a Necromancer who is a kind of cheater. That's Zoltan. You can ask Mishgan who wiped everyone out at his tournament, and he'll say it was Zoltan! And indeed, the way he blocks spells at high levels is terrifying. And imagine if he could block runes? Then the Dwarves would definitely lose to him.

I don't see anything unfair about it; there are heroes, and it's much more interesting. The difference lies in who's playing; for one person, Inga is just an ordinary rune priest, while for another, she's an overpowered hero. And that's true for every hero – it all depends on the skills, abilities, and hands of the person controlling them.

If Inga is played correctly, she becomes overpowered. What’s wrong with that?

You yourself said it's imba, but not a cheat. Heroes is a game where, with skill, you can win in any situation. The interesting part is finding that unique strategy and being able to apply it. Because there aren't any overwhelmingly powerful heroes, creatures, artifacts, or cities. Yes, each has its advantages and disadvantages, but everything is generally balanced; you just need to be able to find that balance.

Heroes is a game where, with skill, you can emerge victorious in any situation.

Yeah, sure. You don't have the experience; if you did, you wouldn't talk like that.

Well, you yourself said it's an overpowered unit, but not a cheater.

And isn't an overpowered unit and a cheater the same thing?

Isn't "imba" and "cheater" the same thing?

Well, if you just take a moment to understand the meaning of these words, it will become immediately clear that they are not the same. ;)

Lord, either I don't understand you, or you don't understand me. Or maybe we just have different approaches to the game. I've been playing for years, but maybe I just play for fun because I enjoy the heroes, while you seem to obsess over every hundredth of a percent of damage and so on. I'm explaining again that you can win in any situation. How, for example, do I defend a city under siege with a Stronghold and three levels of creatures without upgrades when my hero's party is already at level 7 by the third week? And there are many such situations. Even if you are clearly losing in a particular situation, that doesn't mean the whole game is lost. You can have a huge army and the strongest hero, but lose because of a lost city and not being able to retake it within a week:smile21:. This is also a defeat, even if you were an overpowered force on the map, but someone managed to outsmart you and win in that way, without any cheating. And "overpowered" and "cheater" are different things. A cheater is someone who uses forbidden resources or significantly improves their position through manipulation (cheats, trainers, codes, programs, etc.). An overpowered force is someone who dominates everyone without any cheating, simply because of correct development and so on, and they do it consistently. This is their difference from the others. A cheater simply tries to become an overpowered force through dishonest means.

I'm explaining to you again that you can emerge victorious from any situation.

Are you practicing autotraining?

Yeah, right. You don't have any experience, if you did, you wouldn't talk like that.

You yourself wrote this back in 2010;

The conditions are as follows - !!!!!!!!!5 months!!!!!!!!!!! we don't attack each other,
...............he proposed a condition - no Berserkers and no Subjugation

Would an experienced player agree to such conditions?
Maybe also: no more than one hero and a turn every minute?

Such conditions don't offer any strategic interest.
Especially not for experienced players.

Well, never mind what I wrote back in 2010. We were just testing out the Dwarves against the Necropolis in the late game; it's obvious that the Dwarves can defeat them much faster and easier.

In reality, Inga is quite difficult to defeat. I played against one pro player who used mages, and he played as dwarves. The fact that she has so many runes is simply cheating. After all, a regular dwarf cannot learn more than five runes, and it is far from certain that they will all be useful.

After all, a regular dwarf cannot learn more than five runes, and it's not a given that they will all be useful.

Even with only one native city, a dwarf who isn't Inga can learn more than five runes – with the help of Magma Temples and the "Flame Rune" artifact.

I don't know where to start... Basically, I'm playing with a friend online, I'm playing as Necropolis, and he's playing as Fortress. The map is "Lands of Outcasts." Based on this, I've come to the conclusion that Inga is an overpowered hero:smile48:. If anyone has any solid counterarguments, please respond, and also give some helpful advice on how and with whom to defeat her with such a build.

Wow, you managed to defeat Lord Mortulus himself, that's quite something. What's your opponent's name? Write to me in a private message, and I'll help you with your problem. I used to think that Inga, Ingvar, Ibbu, and Karli were unbeatable, but with experience, I dispelled that myth.

Well, if you were just clicking on them with Orcs, then I'm not surprised.

Well, if you were defeating them with Orcs, then I'm not surprised.

You shouldn't say that, I know how to remove runes! 100%
