Could you please elaborate on the imbalance? Does this mean that Barbarians are the strongest faction? And if so, why?

Honestly, apart from Fortress in Might and Magic IV, there aren't any decent factions (they've all been mixed up!). The Necropolis is for demons, and the Dungeon is for undead! What kind of nonsense is that?

In the fourth game, there's an imbalance in favor of the Barbarians :(

I agree, a single hero can clear half the map:
-High melee skills
-Magic resistance

By the way, why do Barbarians start with three abilities, while all others start with two?:confused: :confused: :confused:

It depends on the difficulty level you choose to play on. And the map also matters. Sometimes, the density of monsters doesn't give you a chance to develop without magic, even at level one.

P.S. These aren't abilities, they're skills. And there are three because, besides Barbarians, they don't have anything else, and the other heroes from affiliated castles are expensive.

I'm not talking about monsters, I'm talking about PvP, if you can call it that:)
That is, if you're playing as a non-Barbarian faction, your chances of winning decrease, as you're unlikely to be able to level up your combat skills to the level of a Barbarian, and if you're focusing on magic, be prepared to face a one-on-one battle with a hero:)

Why are they decreasing? Why can't you buff them? You can buff them very easily, especially since there are Universities, huts, altars, and they can even offer Warfare as a skill. Such a buffed unit will always be 3 levels behind a Barbarian, but will that 3-level difference matter when the hero is level 20? Well, the Archer won't reach Grand Master level, but at least they'll have a spell at their disposal. Moreover, this small disadvantage is more than compensated for by their own mages... After all, it hardly makes sense to take more than one or two buffed units into the final battle.

There's no arguing with someone who's made up their mind:)
What about Berserkers? Their stats are pretty good for level 1:)

You can try to dissuade someone, but when it comes to something obviously wrong, you feel the urge to provide a lot of counter-examples. That's what I'm doing :) As for Berserkers? Despite their stats, especially their health, I place them at the same level as Meatshields, alongside Imps and Fairies. What is the strength of one-hit units? Correct, it's in their numbers. And is it easy to keep Berserkers alive through numerous battles? Again, yes, it's very difficult... they are insane ;)

Okay:):):)
And are the bulls berserk? They have strength and speed:)
And put the berserkers in the back row so they don't run away:)

I see you want to analyze every aspect of the Barbarian faction :D I'll say this right away, besides Cyclops and Behemoths, nothing else appeals to me :) Other factions have better monsters in those positions than Berserkers and Mad Bulls :cool:

To be honest, other than Strength, there are no normal castles in 4 (everything is mixed up!!!) the imps are for undead, and the thieves with the hydra are for demons!!! what nonsense...

They aren't for undead, but for death;) , and it seems perfectly normal to me, since they are against humans and have a lot in common. Thieves with the hydra aren't for demons; demons are in death, and that is chaos;) And in Heroes 5 there is even more nonsense (IMHO), everyone worships dragons:eek: :eek: :eek:

Firelord

In four, the imbalance is in favor of Barbarians

Yes. But they were given that because they have no mages guild, but it seems to me that there are too many advantages—the strongest level 1 monsters. The Centaur could be placed at level 2 IMHO + as has been said many times, magic resistance, and the hero-army

There’s no arguing with someone who’s determined, and you won’t change their mind.
What about Berserkers? Their stats are pretty good for level 1.

But their frenzy ruins everything.

And imagine if that wasn't the case? I always like it when people say that the game is unbalanced... But who made it that way? That's right, the fans! Someone just wanted to remove something somewhere, and that's how the imbalance came about! So, if one has something unbeatable, then the other has something that can defeat it; the question is who will get the "weapon" first and lead it into battle.
