That's what I wanted to say about "FOAM AT THE MOUTH"! :D :D :D
But I didn't think it was necessary to use this expression until the power was affected! :cool: I'm for the Barbarians! :D :cool:
Barbarians are weak against magic; the main thing is to hypnotize the Barbarian, the creatures, and make them kill each other. You can also knock out the hero with a magical dragon/phoenix/devil summoned by a druid. In general, Barbarians are strong with their hero. Therefore, you need to knock him out quickly, and then it will be easier.

Yes, and that's exactly the problem... because hostile magic doesn't affect a well-leveled Barbarian... but at the same time, a companion (mage) can significantly enhance the Barbarian's combat abilities...

But you can summon a phoenix, apply some kind of dragon power = the Barbarian is defeated, therefore nature provides a counterweight to Barbarians. Summoning creatures is the most important thing. You also need a priest to resurrect the dead druid, but phoenixes will destroy the unfortunate Barbarian faster:)

YES! :D That is true, but a well-maxed-out Barbarian also DOES A GOOD JOB of knocking out a well-maxed-out mage! :D Sometimes even with just 2 arrows! :D
And what if he knows the teleport spell? And "INVITES" the enemy mage to visit him personally? Or even better: a second hero knows that spell (So as not to "stretch out the pleasure" :D ) :D Then the mage will have other things on his mind besides hypnosis! :D :cool:

And I also disagree about closing the thread! :mad:
The forum was created for the purpose of sharing thoughts and impressions! :)
And when the thread dies, it will slide down the popularity rating on its own! :mad:
So this isn't quite right! :D :cool:

And what if he knows the teleportation spell? And he "INVITES" the enemy mage to his place? Or even better: if the second hero knows this spell (so as not to "prolong the pleasure" :D ) :D Then the mage won't have time for hypnosis! :D :cool:

And I disagree about closing the topic! :mad:

And when the topic dies, it will naturally slide down in the popularity ranking! :mad:
So, it doesn't seem right! :D :cool:
Therefore, everything depends on the first turn. They are all balanced.

Against Nature: plague; if the druid doesn't know life magic, he's doomed after a few turns. Plus, if the necromancer knows order magic. Banish, hypnotize, sacrifice a hypnotized creature. Against Life: curses, removal of beneficial effects, death touch, wave of death, plague, and so on + raising undead.

Too many of these "ifs." I've already compared Death vs. Nature. But I used the entire spectrum of comparisons, i.e., castle, units, and magic.

And regarding Chaos vs. Order – in my opinion, this is the main intrigue of Heroes. The most interesting battles are between these factions!

It's simply a theory of probability, because not all conditions can always be met.
Chaos and Order.
Undoubtedly, in the field of magic, Order loses to Chaos, because they don't have much to counter it with, but against Death, Life, and Nature. Chaos, as I wrote earlier, develops slowly; the units are strong, but there are few of them in number.

Also, they are expensive... Very expensive. And Chaos is easier to play because it has combat magic. But you can't remove its spells.

Even if we take the Chernyash from Chaos, what do we see? :)
Yes, you can't hit him with magic, but you can't bless him either! :D
He burns genies well, but when even one dragon dies,
it's a very big loss! And you feel it more strongly than when, say, a dragon golem falls! But who I really like in Chaos is... the Medusa! :D She can remotely tear apart any creature of level 2! :D Except for the ballista! :D And again, if you take both of these two castles, they are quite strong! :D And as it seems to me, they are stronger than Necropolis! :D :cool:

Jellyfish have the advantage of having an infinite number of shots. When defending a castle, an infinite supply of arrows is the best thing that could happen. If only they had an infinite defense as well... :D :D :D

The good thing about Medusas is that they have an infinite number of shots. When defending a castle, an infinite supply of arrows is the best thing that can happen. If only they had an infinite defense as well... :D :D :D
That's why Order and hypnosis work so well on Medusas, who shoot at Chaos. And you can also blind them, scare them, and so on. You can also place a Pain Mirror on a hero or someone else that black dragons will attack.

BASON;
Close the thread! I'm tired of reading how Life is being put down!
Personally, I don't care what they say about Life... my suggestion wasn't meant to imply that... but something completely different... P.S. (Read the message again!)
Magnus;
I disagree with the order, because there are many archers there. Besides, Order magic has spells that can remove Life, remove death curses, make enemy monsters think they are on our side, banish summoned nature creatures, 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/Might
As far as I remember, in one of the topics we already compared castles and hero skills... (hmm... I think so)... in this topic, we are discussing which castle is the weakest... I said that:
1. Life
2. Order.
3. Might
4. Chaos
5. Nature
6. Death...
The first place is the weakest Castle....
that is, I believe that the "Life" castle is the weakest castle for many reasons that we discussed in this topic EARLIER... then "Might" or "Nature" are slightly stronger (I couldn't decide here... after asking some people, they expressed their opinion approximately 50/50...) then comes "Chaos"... because it is much easier and more interesting to play as. :) ...and finally... "Death" is the strongest... that's why I try not to play as it... Although, in principle, there are many interesting things you can do there!!!..
That's it...
----------------------------------
P.S. (I just think that there is nothing left to discuss in this topic... we are all going around in circles... well, maybe I'm wrong...:( )
