Ah, it's frustrating when everyone is against you. Necromancy, necromancy, you keep repeating it like a zombie. Life has the Sanctuary spell, and that says it all.

Are you being sarcastic?

Let's talk about a Castle, not Necromancy! :( As I understand it, by removing Necromancy, death ceases to be "stronger" than life! :D
So, what do you think? :) Which other Castle should we look at? :D :cool:

I think there are no more castles suitable for the "Weakest Castle" nomination. But still, the possibilities of "death" are much better than life. You offended death by removing necromancy. Now offend life by removing resurrection and resurrection spells.

In my opinion, the Life faction is specialized against DEATH (just look at the paladin hero). I would gladly play against Death. 2 OptiMAL I don't level up resurrection in Life, IMO, losing troops is already bad.

So, is the topic of death closed, or should we discuss it further? :D
Even if we consider life and death: and play only with tacticians, I believe life will win! :D Because leadership doesn't affect skeletons, ghosts, vampires, and bone dragons! :D :cool:

Zdob, which Castle would you like to discuss further?

Discuss or declare it the weakest? :D I'm afraid I'd defend any other castle with all my might. Except for the Stronghold, of course.

So, comrades... I also suggest closing this topic...
The topic will be closed after 00:00 Moscow time! All wishes and complaints should be sent to my inbox....EMAIL...
Otherwise, we're just going around in circles...
In my opinion, the order should be as follows:
1. Life
2. Order.
3. Strength
4. Chaos
5. Nature
6. Death...:)
.................
The weakest Castle is in the first place.

I disagree with the order, as there are many archers there. Besides, in the magic of Order, there are spells that can remove life, remove death curses, make enemy monsters think they are on our side, banish summoned creatures of nature, and affect undead + mirror of pain. But it seems to me that all the other castles are more or less balanced; you need to compare opposite castles:
life/death
order/chaos
nature/strength

I agree. We haven't compared them like this yet, so I think closing the topic is premature. We've touched on the life-death aspect, but only slightly. Let's compare Haven and Chaos. It would be very interesting.

Order is strong in terms of magic, especially against Life and Death.
But they don't have any special spells against Chaos. Chaos is very weak in terms of development. It's expensive. If you build Black Dragons, Hydras aren't very good. Order has a lot of ranged units, which is very good against Ifrits, as well as hypnosis. It's bad that Black Dragons can't be hypnotized, etc. You can also cast curses on Chaos units. Cowardice/blindness, accuracy on your ranged units + mirage. Mirror of Pain. It's a pity that there's no antimagic, otherwise disintegration, strangulation, Inferno, Armageddon, and so on would destroy many units. Golems are good. Stronger than Minotaurs. Mages aren't very good, due to their low HP. Djinns are needed, at least for the Ice Bolt, which will calm the Medusa with the Song of Peace :) Titans don't have a penalty, and besides, there will be many of them, and many others, while the Chaos Castle is being fully built. Therefore, pressure is important, to prevent the Chaos Castle from developing

Generally speaking, there isn't a single weakest castle. Life is strong against death, death is weak against life and nature, and so on.

In general, there isn't a single weakest faction. Life is strong against Death, Death is weak against Life and Nature, etc.

Let's get back to Death :D
Against Nature: Plague. If the Druid doesn't know Life magic, he's done for in a few turns. :( + if the Necromancer knows Order magic. Banish, Hypnotize, Sacrifice a hypnotized creature. Against Life: Curse, Remove Beneficial Effects, Hand of Death, Wave of Death, Plague, and so on + raising undead.

Should we discuss this or just shower it with praise as the weakest? :D I'm afraid I'll defend any other castle with all my might. Except for Stronghold, of course. :)

That's what I wanted to say about "WITH ALL MY MIGHT"! :D :D :D
But I didn't think it was necessary to use this expression until Stronghold was mentioned! :cool: I'm for the Barbarians! :D :cool:
