Who is the City Lord? I'm a bit slow here... Is it like a Governor? If so, a Barbarian still needs to level up magic. Which means Strength without magic isn't that strong.

Well, when you level up nobility, you could call them a Mayor, or maybe... just... PRESIDENT! :D And you don't necessarily have to level up nobility on the main hero!
And why does a Barbarian need magic?:confused: Well, in principle, you can... after you learn all the scouting skills! :D
Otherwise, you can just shoot an arrow, and melee is the way to go! :) And you don't have to think about mana often!!! :D :cool:

In my opinion, the strongest castle is Order.
...
4.Mages are very weak, but the magic is decent (Poison, for example. It'll reach any hero:) )

Yeah, a BARBARIAN, for instance! :D :cool:

HMM4 The Gathering Storm : BEST!:cool:

...I prefer to take Death combined with Necromancer and Haven Mage...that's when the real fun begins...after a few months (or maybe even faster), vampires created by the Necromancer start appearing in the army...and then there are the Mage's spells...who can stand against that?:smile10:

The Necropolis castle is the strongest of all! And that's a fact!

Yeah, like the Barbarian! :D :cool:

Well, the Barbarian is a special case. When I play against Barbarians, I don't build Wizards.

Mages are good, but I rarely use Poison. Only when storming a castle. Because it acts too slowly.
As for Necropolis. In my opinion, it's a very mediocre castle. Even Barbarians are better (in my opinion). And the best proof of this is when they say: "Necropolis is stronger. Don't argue!" But where are the arguments in such an opinion...?

Usually, when fighting neutral creatures, mages are taken down first. And if the army has a full complement, they will have to be placed in the front line or hidden, with another hero or someone else important placed in the front. (This applies to the mage-demon-titan setup).

When I talked about the assault, I meant a full squad, of course... I'm not going to assault with just mages, am I? :)
But I usually arrange them like this. Archers are always in the back row, and those who only use melee weapons are in the front. My hero is also often in the front row, even though he's a mage. For some reason, I don't really protect him.

Heroes should be protected carefully, especially if they are mages. For example, they cast spells like Accuracy, Mirage, and other spells of levels 1-3 (maybe 4) (this is about the second hero). And the main hero-mage casts more powerful spells.

:smile51: Nature + Death is awesome! Nature magic level 5 + Demonology level 5, and you can summon Devils, who in turn summon Ice Demons!:smile51:

Added 1 minute later
And with these skills, you can also summon Imps, Cerberuses, Ice Demons, poisonous creatures, and someone from Nature, level 1-3!;) :cool:

Added 4 minutes later
And in terms of creature strength – Chaos! Black Dragons are

In terms of creature strength, it's Chaos! Black Dragons are awesome, their magic is unbeatable! And the bonuses of this unit are undeniable! (c)

Black Dragons are very good creatures, but they have a growth rate of 1 per week and are expensive (8000 gold). Therefore, they can be defeated by sheer numbers. (Usually, creatures of level 4 have a growth rate of 2 or more, but Black Dragons have a growth rate of 1).

:D

Re: What is the strongest castle in HOMM4? A castle cannot be strong or weak... ...The question is not phrased correctly, which is why there is so much debate. ...Most likely, the question refers to a faction. So, in "Heroes 4," the strength of a faction depends on a combination of factors: -population; -heroes (with skills appropriate for each faction); -magic; -the size and features of the map; and the human factor... ...for example, the computer plays equally poorly with any faction in any part of the game (whether it's HEROES 1 or HEROES 5). :smile02: So, it is difficult to answer this question definitively (if objectively)... you need to consider a specific case.

In this thread, I understand that people are writing about which castle they think is the strongest and, if possible, explaining why. Everyone considers a certain castle to be strong, and that's why we're all arguing.

I'm not against it.
I'm not criticizing anyone specifically.
Everyone is expressing their opinion...
...can I do the same?
