Everyone has downsides. You need to know how to bypass them correctly. First and foremost, you must be able to play the contradictions between opposing castles correctly.
...

Then taking ORDER and CHAOS is definitely it! :D
And Magic Flash is good, I won't argue, but spend a whole turn on it? :eek: Instead of casting at least an explosion, or the general first battle, or cat reflexes on a medusa! :D
And Chaos also has MAGIC BONDS! :D A mean and cool thing! :D And what does Order have? Strong curses, and draconic golems are generally great (I pick them depending on my mood! :D But when against Chaos, then most likely Titans! Not everyone is granted the guardianship of chaos, and he's the only level 4 shooter (aside from the gargantic! :D ) :D ) ! :D :cool:

I'm saying that Haven versus Dungeon is the most interesting theme! Even more interesting than Life versus Death. It's a shame that when playing as a Dungeon faction, players only use combat spells...

Instead of casting an explosion spell, or a general first-round spell, or cat reflexes on a medusa!

Only Haven has the "Steal Charm" spell. All positive effects and charms of the selected enemy target are transferred to a friendly unit. You can cast many things on the enemy. For example, general misfortune. But if desired, it can also be removed.

Well, then what's left? Only combat spells! :) But still, I have some kind of dislike for Haven :) , probably because it's stronger than Chaos! :( But still, I'm rooting for Chaos! :D :cool:

Death is not a good match against Barbarians:D Death doesn't have any particularly powerful blessing spells, but it does have a nasty trick: the "Cancel Magic" spell. It will remove the resurrection spell, and without it, the Barbarian loses a lot of strength...

I don't understand your logic!
So, who is at a disadvantage against whom?

I like Order more. But that doesn't mean Chaos is bad. It's good too.

I didn't understand your logic!
so who is worse off against whom.If a Barbarian has maxed out all combat skills (Magic Resistance 100% + Archery, etc.), then taking down this hero is very difficult. (A large army + Dispel Magic are needed so the Barbarian doesn't have regeneration)
But.... the army has no chance. Therefore, the Barbarian is stronger here.
If the Barbarian hasn't maxed everything out—for example, under-leveled Magic Resistance—then there is a chance to use Hand of Death. To prevent the heroes from being wiped out, the army covers them. The second hero casts Dispel Magic, and the main one casts Hand of Death. If it doesn't work, the Barbarian must still drink a "Potion of Immortality". Soon, Hand of Death will show what it is capable of. It is advisable to buy more "Wizard's Potions" as well.
In this situation, the Barbarian lost.

:D

I still don't understand what this "revival" thing is. And you can drink the potion of immortality even before the battle. And that's a good thing :)

:) "Elixir of immortality" is the "revival" item. It's similar to the 5th level "Bless" spell (Guardian Angel). But the "Guardian Angel" can be removed with the "Dispel" custom spell.

Aaaah, okay, I understand now... I knew it, I just wasn't quite getting it today. After all, when you drink the potion of immortality, an angel always appears on the hero's panel!

The Barbarian is a tough challenge, but it can be overcome. Once he loses most of his troops, it will be easier.

The Barbarian is certainly a tough opponent, but it's possible to overcome him. Once he loses most of his army, it will be easier.

As I understand it, people like to play as Barbarians without an army :) Just like with the Rogue. This makes the task of eliminating them easier.

You understand correctly ;) The main thing is to catch this brave fellow at the right moment. In general, it will be easiest for an Archmage to defeat him.

I wouldn't say so! :D I like playing solo with the Barbarian, but that doesn't mean that another hero, after leveling up :D, couldn't easily defeat the Barbarian! :D :cool:

Again, one Barbarian against many enemies. :D Sooner or later, the Barbarian will encounter a hero.

I don't respect Barbarians, even though they are stronger than most creatures. But there's something...barbaric about them. So, I don't really value them; chaos always reigns supreme.
