Posts from What is your opinion about neutral creatures?

I don't really have a specific tactic for Berserkers. I just try to gather as many of them as possible. Especially if their numbers exceed a thousand :D And when, for example, I'm storming a Castle, they are always the first to attack. They break down the gates... and cause a bit of chaos.

I also follow the principle: "If you have Berserkers, you don't need to think too much":D

But will the Berserkers survive long enough to capture an enemy castle? Usually, they act as cannon fodder and that's it. During wars with neutral factions, the Berserkers suffer the most losses.

Yes, but that’s their purpose. The strongest units decide the outcome of a real battle. But they fulfill their role. Besides, I always have several hundred (if not more) Berserkers available for the final battle. Of course, if I’m playing as Stronghold.

When I play as Dungeon, I check what neutral creatures are around (maybe 1-3 heroes can defeat them), and if so, I don't put Berserkers on the battlefield. In the final battle, they can be decisive; use a scroll of teleportation to teleport 200-300 Berserkers behind the enemy lines, closer to the mages. Then a real slaughter can begin, especially if there are 500+ of them))).

I personally like the neutral creatures, especially when they have a very strong army. It's fun to sit and wait, build up your army, and level up on smaller creatures! So that you can attack later! This mainly applies to: Evil Sorceresses, Dark Champions, Gargantus, and other creatures that deserve respect!
Guys, the topic is about neutral creatures, not about how to slice and dice Berserkers at the gates! :D :cool:

Neutrals are an interesting topic. Sometimes it seems funny that neutrals flee the battlefield and disappear when you "release" them, without reappearing anywhere else.

I was laughing for a long time when that amazing monster – a whale-fish – attacked me. Then I stared at the screen, watching my losses. Neutral monsters are, of course, a good thing. There are also neutral heroes with their own armies, which is also a plus.
P.S. What are we discussing here, neutral monsters or neutral armies?

P.S. What are they discussing here, neutral monsters or neutral armies?

The first doesn't contradict the second, because neutral monsters can also be part of neutral armies (led by a hero). So, both are acceptable, I think. But in general, the discussion was only about monsters so far.

of course, everything is clear about the dark sorceresses, Gargantuas, etc. They won't be ignored, but at the initial stage, I won't disdain Beholders; they are good shooters and weaken the enemy... it's just awful... especially if misfortune is added to the full set of curses.

Among the neutral creatures, I like Mad Bulls, all types of Elementals, Mantises, Hives, Mummies, Catapults, Sorceresses, Sea Monsters, Goblin Knights, Champions of the Dark, and of course, Dragon Lords!!!

Neutrals are the first test of a player's strength and attentiveness; if you get stuck on them, it becomes very difficult later on...
Also, neutrals are needed (on maps with the computer) for experimenting with tactics and units...
P.S. Neutrals are just fodder that must be defeated.

Yes, these amazing fish are among the most controversial creatures. In my opinion, their inclusion is simply a form of cheating, but thankfully they are neutral and show us that conquering nature in the magical world of Heroes isn't so easy.

But will the Berserkers survive long enough to capture an enemy castle? Usually, they just run around like cannon fodder. Berserkers suffer the most in wars against neutral factions.

I never take them into battle; I save them for the final battle, and when there are many of them, it's devastating:smile19:

Berserk is very useful, and also for the final battle.
In Heroes 4, there are only three creatures in the War of the Whirlwind faction that cannot be recruited, but that doesn't mean they are neutral. Each has an affinity to a race. Dragon King - Chaos, Sea Monster and Mermaid - Might. As for the Dragon King, in my opinion, it doesn't have a dwelling because it should have a very small growth rate and a high cost. And sea monsters and mermaids don't have a dwelling because the creators didn't want to see them controlled by players in standard maps. These two creatures are the only ones that are displayed on the water entirely, and not on a ship. Think about it, wouldn't it be interesting if a Sea Monster or Mermaid could move from land to water or vice versa?
