Posts from In your opinion, which faction is the strongest in Heroes 5? Let's discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each faction.
In your opinion, which race is stronger in Heroes of Might and Magic V?
I believe that all castles in Heroes 3 and Heroes 5 are strong in their own way. It's important who commands these castles.
The question needs to be asked more specifically, and then the answers will be clear.
For example: Which castle is the strongest against...?
or Which race is best for defending in a castle?
Enough with the ambiguous discussion!

Need more specifics? Here you go! The strongest castle is the Necropolis. Although, I believe that if you command well, all castles are great!
I built a watchtower and placed Ingvar to defend it, and now I can live in peace; no Necropolis with a horde of skeletons will break through...
In general, all races are good. You just need to know how to play them.

What Necropolis? If we're talking about defense, then Gnomes are the best; for attack, it's probably Necropolis.

За Белиара
[/U]Minerva, why even Necropolis, if in terms of defense, Dwarves are the best, and in attack, it's probably Necropolis.
1st place: Necromancers
2nd place: Dwarves
3rd place: Warlocks (they're just incredibly powerful).
it's generally structured like this:
1. Dwarves
1.2 Necromancers
2. Dark Elves
sorry, I'm being a fanatic...
the topic is called "which race is the strongest in your opinion"
in my opinion, it's the Dwarves.

Hordes of skeletons – I might not be an expert.
Damage 1-2, health 5.
But forgive me when they become level 3-4 with 9 hit points.
That is, more than twice as strong as their original form.
Undead casters focusing on defense... o_O
A high defense stat allows for effective use of dark magic.
Sorcerers + defense prevent them from being quickly defeated by 2-5 troops.
That is, in the middle of a battle with the undead, you've already been turned into a punching bag, and the necromancer is starting to think about which units to resurrect to minimize losses.
!A prolonged battle with the undead is a death sentence.
We've already talked about the number of skeletons.
But I don't hear any praise for dragons.
One of the most aggressive and unpleasant tier 7 units in the entire Heroes of Might and Magic 5 when fighting against humans.
Vampires and liches, just like in Heroes of Might and Magic 3, are simply good units.
Vampires have a major drawback: they still don't get a retaliatory attack.
Everything else is mediocre.
In short, the undead faction is all about that.
Realistically, the undead can win against dungeons and humans under equal conditions
1-2 damage, 5 health
Just forgive me when they become 3-4 with 9 hit points.
That is, more than twice as strong as themselves.
Battle Frenzy from attack and an artifact +1 damage (sought by any decent Necromancer), and if you upgrade Ranged and Cold Steel, it's even more.
Resilience from defense and an artifact +2 health.
Necromancers are casters who pump up defense o_O
Defense status allows for effective use of dark magic.
Sorcerers + defense prevent 2-5 troops from being quickly destroyed.
That is, in the middle of a battle with Necromancers, you are already turned into a punching bag, and the Necromancer starts thinking about who to resurrect in order to minimize losses.
A prolonged battle with a Necromancer is death.
IMHO, spellcasting doesn't work. It's better to cast mass curses for half the initiative.
I just don't hear any praise about dragons.
One of the most aggressive and unpleasant 7th-tier units in all of Heroes of Might and Magic 5 when fighting against humans.
And why should we sing their praises? They don't fly over the battlefield, they hit weakly, and they die quickly. Curse, of course, is quite effective against Titans, Devils, and Emerald Dragons, but it's not always possible to use it. But against Angels, Black Dragons, and Lava Golems, they are completely useless, and they require a lot of resources. It's better to build a Guild and a couple of upgrades earlier.
everything else is mediocre.
Ghosts are mediocre??? I strongly disagree.
can a Necromancer really win a dungeon and against humans under otherwise equal conditions?
Yes, you can win with any faction. Probably, only Inferno will be a little harder. It's not very effective to fight against Necromancers (especially without removing enchantments and generally without Light Magic) with Dark Magic, and you will get a full beating from it.
Enough with the ambiguous questions!
The question needs to be more specific, and then the answers will be clear.
For example: Which castle is the strongest against...?
or Which faction is best for defending in a castle?
Justice always prevails!!!
2 - forest elves
3 - dark elves
In general, that's how I see it!
Necropolis...
Humans
Elves, etc...
