Posts from The eternal question: which heroes are better, mages or warriors?

and what magical skills do you have:
wisdom +2, school of magic
wisdom +1, school of magic + sorcery.

I don't understand. I wrote that I have 3 schools of magic and wisdom. And what is this "sorcery" skill? In the official translation, it's called "ворожба," and in the English version, it's "sorcery." Are you referring to that?

We don't understand each other. Magic adds power to spells. Regarding necromancers, I meant the necromancy skill, which takes up 1 slot. And if you take all the skills you mentioned: leadership, ballista and catapult management, and diplomacy, as well as pathfinding, you will only have 3 slots left, and I listed possible options for further hero development.

Alas, you are right:(

Magic - adds power to spells

That very skill is called Sorcery.:) +5% damage per skill level, if I recall correctly

regarding Necromancers, I meant the necromancy skill that takes up 1 slot

As did I:)

and if you take all these skills you listed : leadership, ballista and catapult management, diplomacy, Pathfinding, then you will only have 3 slots left, and I listed the possible options for further hero development.

That is exactly what I was saying—that I sacrifice those skills, i.e., I do NOT take them. So, to repeat:
I take:
Earth
Air
Water
Wisdom
Logistics
Defense
Attack
Archer
with some variations

If you don't look at highly leveled mages, they are weaker than warriors, but if they are heavily leveled, warriors are completely outmatched... therefore, the combat mage and magical warrior tactics are ideal!

I think all these discussions in this style are a waste of time. It's like chess – there are many options for who goes first, second, or tenth, but it doesn't really matter (only one move, and everyone can prove that their move was the right one). I suggest we discuss specific maps, i.e., name the map, the player's color, and the player type (mage or warrior). Then it will be clear, and the communication will become logical and offer many possibilities with probabilities. For example, the map is Planet Earth. Red player. We are playing with the Castle hero, Sir Muelich. Logistics, wisdom, etc., are important. After that, you outline the situation in the thread, and we discuss the possibility of a faster completion with minimal losses using a mage or warrior hero.

Actually, artifacts won't make a person a full-fledged mage! A full-fledged mage is someone who can use spells without any help from artifacts, scrolls, etc., i.e., on their own!:p

That is, on their own! :p
But if you run into a magic blockade, things won't end well.

it’s a matter of taste, but I think warriors are better, although I also enjoy playing as mages.

As cliché as it may sound, the answer "golden mean" also applies to this question. Many people have said so, and they are in the majority. A mage without strength and a warrior without magic look quite weak, which negatively affects combat. But in general, you can choose a pure warrior or a pure mage, just level them up harmoniously! And as always, everything depends on the circumstances. And everyone should play with the class that yields the best results for them. Sorry for the poor writing.

I think a purely strategic war, without any magic, is simply not possible, except in situations where magic is limited by the plot, or it's a campaign, how can you even complete an XL map with 7 computer opponents without magic?

A better-balanced hero is preferable.
BUT if that doesn't work, I'll make my hero a Mage.

People!!!!!!!!Necromancers!!!!!!!!!!Elves!!!!!!!!!!Well, and all the others!!!!!!!!!!We've already decided that the Battle Mage is the best!!!!!!!!!!!
May Smoke forgive me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bugaga...The great and terrible Smoke is angry with you!....Because the Warrior is the best!...
In general, the Battle Mage is the best because it's the name of a mage-barbarian...

But I still agree, because magic can also help in battle, but my opinion is that a Warrior hero who has a book with a couple of powerful attack spells and several spells to enhance troops (definitely including spell removal) is much better than a mage hero...Of course, you need some kind of artifact to increase knowledge, but it's not necessary, only in the beginning, then you can easily and without regret throw it away (sell it, exchange it for experience)...

it depends on which version you're playing... in The Shadow of Death, mages definitely shine, but if you take The Succession Wars into account, the balance is more or less maintained (warriors like Tazar, Mephala, and others can compete with mages/battle mages even without a spellbook). In any case, a warrior with the Sphere of Inhibition will defeat a mage (=

If I have the chance, I always level up a pure warrior:
attack
defense
magic resistance
archery
ballistics
tactics
pathfinding
logistics

+ the features of The Succession Wars provide good bonuses for such a combination of skills.

I think a purely war-focused approach is simply not possible; it can only work where magic is limited by the plot, or it's a campaign, how can you possibly complete an XL map with 7 computer opponents without magic?

as a Barbarian with the Sphere of Inhibition, or at least with the Cloak of Negation...:smile19: :smile26: :smile26:

Magic of water, air, earth, etc. is certainly good, but a sword in your hands and attack skill somehow feels more reliable. And when you have all of that together, it's just amazing!:smile20: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
