Yeah, I get the idea, but I don't understand why it's needed and what the final result will be. =)
Well, you'll find out... and everything will be the same as it is now. =) Personally, I doubt I'll change my tactics or faction after learning this information.

Question regarding the number of subfolders.
I already understand that with a couple of subfolders for most castles, some need a larger number.
Necromancy - minimum 3 (two with expert necromancy, one warrior with expert tactics)?
Demonology - 3 (an additional subfolder for optimizing demonology)?
Should the number of subfolders be approximately twice as small as the main folder?
Need the opinion of experts.

I play different maps, randomly. I always choose Inferno, and always Pyre. Logistics doesn't hinder, especially at the beginning. It might seem, what's the point of this artillery, but that's not the case. Upgraded artillery can deal very good damage, especially if the enemy is in a direct line of fire. If Calh appears in the tavern with 2 stacks of Gogs, you can clear out the neutrals, find some stone for building Efreet. In the first week, I always build Efreet + a Stronghold. It only costs 9,000 gold, 10 wood, 20 ore, 3 mercury, sulfur, and gems to build Efreet, and the Gogs aren't even built yet. I return to my castle, buy Efreet (5 of them), and go to attack something more serious. Then, I try to build Devils by the 3rd week, but it usually happens by the 4th week, or even the 2nd month. So, my choice is Inferno.

Cool. What difficulty level are you playing on?
P.S. Have you tried placing Devils on the first level?

Try not going for Devils on the second week; instead, buy 5 Efreet Sultans on the second week, you'll be able to defeat more enemies, and you'll definitely be able to build Devils. By the way, according to your strategy, you should build a Capitol on the second week, and only then build Devils, so you don't have any difficulties with buying them...
P.S. I'm not making fun of you, I just know from my own experience, I used to build a Capitol on the second week, and everything was fine.

I play at 160%, and many people play at this difficulty level.

In the first week, it's unlikely you'll be able to deploy Devils, even at 100%, at least that's how it seems to me.

For me, the main task for leveling up is to defend against the first Pandora's Box. Either there will be money to hire an army, or there will be an army, or there will be an army (it depends on luck, whether it will be strong enough for the second week or not), or there will be useful spells. For some reason, I also rely on gaining experience; new skills appear, and it becomes easier. If the Pandora's Box is guarded by 20-49 Griffons, Mummies, or other mid-level neutral creatures, then it's great; if not, then you need stronger troops.

My task is to quickly defeat the opponent because if you delay, Inferno isn't particularly strong. And what does Inferno have? Ifrits might not be defeated; there will be too many of them, but the situation is worse with Devils. In the 3rd or 4th month, they will be defeated by Red Dragons or Titans. I usually place a Capitol either at the end of the second week if I have enough gold or after capturing a second Castle; usually, the computer already has a generator producing 2,000 resources. In total, that's an increase of 4,000 (my Castle + the computer's Castle).
[br][/br]Mostly, I can't deploy Devils in the 3rd week due to a lack of Mercury. On the L map without an underground passage, there definitely isn't enough, especially when 8 people are playing. So, I have to save up Mercury and mostly avoid upgrading 2nd-tier ranged units and Pit Lords with Golems. Although I also don't usually upgrade Golems because they often attack my own units.

[br][/br]I usually can't deploy Devils in the 3rd week due to a lack of Mercury. On the "L" difficulty level, without a Dungeon, there definitely isn't enough, especially when 8 people are playing.

It's better to play with allied computer players, like in a 4 vs. 4 game; at least, I enjoy playing that way. It takes less time to defeat the computer players, and they often help out...
By the way, if you're running low on Mercury, it's better not to upgrade Gogs; you can manage without them. Otherwise, with an upgraded Gog, they become arrogant and start attacking your own units... and 5 Mercury is better spent on Devils

That's why I don't build Grand Magisters in Heroes of Might and Magic II, or improved GOG units, and consequently, Pit Lords, so I can accumulate mercury to use against the Devils. ;)

As for computer-controlled allies, it's not interesting to me. I just like to go straight ahead and destroy all 7 computer-controlled opponents in my path. ;)

I just like to go all-out and destroy all 7 AI opponents in my path ;)

Wouldn't it be better to play against a human player?:confused:

It would be better; you spend half an hour on one game day and don't build a Capitol...:D

I mainly play Heroes with my father. There's no opportunity to play with other people. Not everyone has the same version of the game. And I want to buy Armageddon's Blade, The Shadow of Death, etc., but I can't find them.

Yeah, I don't know, I'm just not very trusting when it comes to downloading things from the internet :D I don't even know why...

I guess it's time to stop going off-topic ;)

Well, if that's the case, then of course! Yes, absolutely!

Perhaps it's time to stop going off-topic ;)

Don't worry, the moderators will sort it out.

Besides, the topic itself is a thick layer of fluff where the same things are repeated dozens of times.

And most importantly: it's better to have one newbie who comes and plays than to be afraid to say something.

It's clear why: they always try to slip in either a "dummy" file (an archive of several gigabytes filled with "junk") or a pseudo-archive - have you heard of such a nasty thing?! or "Trojans"!

I completely agree with that! We need new players!
