Regarding the Adagio option: it simply partially copies the Naga's ability. If, instead of defense, the magical attack increased, then yes, it would be a good idea.

Regarding the Adagio option: it simply partially copies the Naga ability. If it increased magical attack instead of defense, then yes.

But it increases starting from the second level... The third level will allow the hero to increase the effectiveness of the magic used, and the fourth – to cast powerful spells like "Time Stop" an unlimited number of times and without waiting for a cooldown. I am focusing specifically on the magical aspects of combat, which, it seems, corresponds to the concept of the wizard faction. And regarding filling the scale. My version suggests filling it in situations such as using "Waves of Renewal," "Spiritual Bonds," racial abilities (with the exception of the Orcish one, as it is a warcry), and so on.

On the contrary, the logic of the Winner perk regarding skipping a turn is the most correct! **TO PUT IT BLUNTLY, WARRIORS DON'T GO INTO BATTLE, THEY RELY ON MAGIC! LIKE, I'LL STAND HERE, LET LIGHTNING ATTACK INSTEAD!**

Or, perhaps, they will help the heroes cast spells. Although, the way the scale is filled doesn't really matter to me.

TO PUT IT BLUNTLY, WARRIORS DON'T GO INTO BATTLE RELYING ON MAGIC! THEY THINK, "I'LL STAND HERE, LET LIGHTNING ATTACK INSTEAD!"

Why live like that?

Actually, more than 50% play that way: melee units block the approaches to the archers! And they only attack with archers!
Besides, this tactic will also contribute to filling the faction's resource bar!

I still don't see the logic, sorry. It seems very contrived.

Or, in the sense that they will somehow help heroes cast spells.

Okay. How can a golem, having skipped its turn, help a hero in casting a spell?..

Although, the way the scale is filled doesn't matter to me.

That's actually a very important point. Your proposed option will allow the Academy to fill the scale quickly enough (even if it's broken down into small increments with high initiative for defense at the beginning of the game). I think my version is more balanced and actually suitable for wizards, it turns out to be a kind of magical vampirism (in relation to enemies) and empathy (through their own actions). Imagine at least a battle between the Academy and Sanctuary in the early stages. The scale will be filled during the heroes' spellcasting, the Nagas' use of "Honor," "Waves of Refreshment," and "Spiritual Connection," and the application of magical skills by the wizard troops. In my opinion, this is something that really fits the spirit of the Academy. And the balance isn't skewed.

This is actually a very important point. Your proposed option would allow the Academy to fill the mana bar quite quickly (at least by splitting into single units with high initiative to defend in the early game). I believe my version is more balanced and actually suitable for wizards; it turns out to be a kind of magical vampirism (in relation to enemies) and empathy (through their own actions). Imagine at least a battle between the Academy and the Sanctuary in the early stages. The mana bar would be filled during moments when heroes cast spells, Nagas use "Honor," "Waves of Renewal," and "Spiritual Bond," and wizard troops use their magical skills. In my opinion, this is something that really fits the spirit of the Academy, and it doesn't unbalance the game.

Unfortunately, it's too good and beautiful of an idea for the developers of Heroes 6 to include it in their project. It will most likely be simpler and more straightforward.

I'm not insisting on my version in any way. It was just an example.

I think it's possible to implement a faction ability from Heroes of Might and Magic V. During battle, a hero from the Academy can grant an Academy unit a mini-artifact for 2 turns, increasing its stats. The bonus increases as the scale is filled.

Ah... You're all so sure that the Academy will definitely appear in the expansions... I wish I had your confidence...

Thank you (if this isn't sarcasm), at least someone shares my opinion.

No offense intended. The developers will be the ones insisting on their version. :rolleyes: If the Academy is even included.

Could they really stop after just one expansion?

Will they really stop after just one expansion?

Good question. A couple of months ago, someone reportedly spoke with Erwan Le Breton, and he said that one expansion will definitely be released, and a second one might be. It's this "might be" that worries me. A third expansion is extremely unlikely, as such a large number of major expansions are only released for super-mega-popular games, like Sims.
