Ha! Life still reigns supreme, as it should. But what’s wrong with Nature? It has only one bonus building – the Portal – and that’s saying something. There’s something for every taste and budget.

I believe that the Life faction has the weakest castle because its warriors aren't particularly strong, and the Life magic doesn't include any powerful combat spells. Also, there's almost no defense against them (except for Escort, which only removes negative spells), so they aren't very useful.
:D

Well, not exactly... it depends on the player's skill... I personally used to crush my friends in online and Hotseat games with Haven just for fun!

That's right. A true professional shouldn't favor any particular faction, but should be able to win with any race. Maybe life isn't so bad after all...

Life can easily play the role of "Pick them off one by one." With 3 Archers, and if you gather them all, you can inflict significant damage on the enemy! And by the end, the Angels will take over and resurrect the losses.))))

And if life turns against order, then numbers don't matter. The "Forgetfulness" spell and a bent bow are all you need. I had a similar situation. Life had more units than I did, but I won through cunning. Never underestimate an artifact like the Crystal; keep it with you. Especially if Haven is nearby. That's my advice!

And a helmet with mind protection drops quite often and is very useful against the Haven faction.

Yes! I voted against the life feature myself. Their music isn't very good: it's just howling in the city! :D But the units aren't that weak! Especially the Lukari from level 1 to 3! Only one drawback in an otherwise great game: the Lukari barely move - especially the ballistas! 19 is very low! And as for nature, put one tiger against one pikeman! :D It's like putting a kitten on a spit! :D Even though I love cats! But still: even 1 elf against 1 ballista isn't very good! :D :cool:

life cannot be weak, at least because all people (almost, maybe angels are mutants) live there, and they are all strong; there are no bad creatures. The ballista is slow, but it helps during sieges and in defending castles. Level 4 creatures are the most balanced in terms of price, quality, and growth rate.

The ballista is perfect for sieges! And it's also quite effective against defenses! But what if everyone retreats? And they just start blessing and cursing?
At least a pikeman will manage to hit someone! And I think a pikeman can defeat any creature of level 2 in a 1-on-1 fight! (If they're close by!)
As for the ballista, you can only cast a prayer on it, perhaps with a crown!:D :cool:

The ballista is great, even though it's slow, but you can live with that... It would be nice to add catapults to the ballista units. That would be awesome. Very realistic!

On large maps, building ballistae is not profitable. They "slow down" the hero. As a result, the player loses in terms of speed, which is very important in the game.

But during a siege, such a unit is indispensable. You always have to sacrifice something. Although, lately, I've also gotten tired of their low speed...

You still have to reach the enemy castle... And what if a thief hero shows up?
Then ballistae are a one-way ticket to losing.
