Posts from A THREAD FOR NEWCOMERS!

Could you please advise which faction has the best starting army for clearing territory with minimal losses on the way to the enemy city and capturing the city itself?

Which level 1 and 2 spells are the most effective? And on whom should they be cast?
What are undead? Are they living creatures?

Why didn't you mention "Blind" from Magic of Fire? It's a second-level spell, and I've already tried it. I think it's a very effective spell. What do you think?

Another question. Necromancy raises 10-30% of killed units as skeletons. Does it raise your own killed units, the opponent's, or all killed units in total? Because once, I got a lot of skeletons, more than the number of my own units that were killed.

Dragons are weak. Many don't even build them. In my opinion, it's better to build them.

Does the "Intelligence" skill and the Hero's "Knowledge" stat both increase the maximum mana pool? Also, it's not entirely clear what "maximum spell points" means.

Then, does the "Magic" skill increase spell power, i.e., enhance the Hero's "Magic" stat? And does this, in turn, increase the power of spells?

Is it worthwhile to invest in Catapult? I once leveled it up, and it destroys walls in 1 or 2 hits, but it's not really useful because I don't go into the city anyway. The opponent either comes out on their own, or I destroy them from a distance.

Blind - means blinding. I use Russian terminology. In Heroes of Might and Magic, it's referred to both ways. If I'm not mistaken.
Learning - in some cases, it's indispensable. But it's better to take something else. IMHO.
Attack, Defense, and Logistics should be leveled up in any case. And Wisdom - depending on the size of the map and the number of players. If you're playing against seven AI opponents, then Wisdom might be needed even on a medium-sized map.

Magic increases the damage dealt by offensive spells. For example, we have Lightning dealing 125 damage. With an expert level in Magic, it will deal 125 * 1.15 = 143 damage.

I'm reading this, it's a cool thing! But you can't learn everything in 15 minutes:)

I still have some questions. Please don't be too strict with me:)

1. It says there: "When attacking, the Serpent removes all 'friendly' spells from the unit." I understand that 'friendly' spells are those on an enemy unit?

2. Then, the "Blind" spell can be learned in a level 2 tower in any city? Or does it appear more often in some cities and less often in others? Also, when upgrading Fire in the basic skills, the first attack of a unit under the effect of Blind will be 50% of its normal value. And if Fire is not upgraded at all, will the attack under Blind be 100%?

Thank you! I didn't read your previous post carefully, you mentioned Blindness there.
More questions.
A. Does a Necropolis hero definitely need to upgrade Earth?
B. To get the "Dimension Door" spell, is it necessary to upgrade Air? Or, with a high Wisdom skill, can it be learned in a level 5 tower? The same question about "Town Portal"?

You are right about Wisdom. It also gives access to higher-level spells, and without them, it's difficult to defeat a serious opponent...

Thank you! Everything is clear.
It seemed to me that the effect of even an expert "Magic" skill is small...
Do you think it's better not to level it up?
And instead of Magic, what is preferable to level up – Leadership or Mysticism? And what do you think about Awareness and Tactics?

The Hero has 8 skill slots, I think. What skills would you optimally level up for him? Or does it depend on the hero's town?
For a Necropolis hero, for example, what is better to level up?;)
