It's difficult against a well-developed Dungeon faction, even experienced players sometimes get ambushed by a fast-moving hero, but... Sharp Mind and Unholy Persuasion are good for Necromancers, Demons, Wizards, and Humans; Empathy and Ballistic Protection are good for Orcs; a Demon with Ballistic Protection is also good, but Empathy is exotic for him; for Elves, Winged Angel on an Anti-Magic hero is a good tactic - Tactics, Aura of Swiftness, Blue Boots, and Native Land. It's difficult for Gnomes against a Dungeon hero.

I meant, what should you do if the AI bought some scouts, upgraded them to become invisible, bought beasts, and immediately attacked you with two heroes, arriving on day 5 or 6, when you can only dream of good character development.

Comrades, many people talk about creating hero scouts, "tank" units, and so on, but at least a hero scout will survive until the first encounter with a decent enemy hero. After that, the scout will either have to flee, resulting in a ransom in the tavern, or a new one will have to be hired. Is such a use of heroes rational in terms of money? If I'm wrong about the way scouting is used, please correct me.

Where will he get two well-developed heroes with powerful magic and a lot of troops for the second hero on days 5-6? Try playing – it also takes time for all of this...

PS. Just so you know, scouts in the Dungeon faction don't have invisibility. It was given to the tier 6 unit of the League faction.

I know, but you can build an upgrade on the second day.

He's still quite cunning, but not as much as in the original version.

Leolopus, thank you!!! I really only play the original version with my friends, and I'm not aware of the mod's features.

So, I understand that when playing the original version with a friend who is a fan of the Dungeon faction, it's better to insist on a large map or a medium-sized map with a Dungeon.

I know, but you can build the upgrade structure on day two.

I decided to play Heroes of Might and Magic V and am going through the campaigns. I have a question: is there any way to protect my units from enemy archers? In Heroes of Might and Magic IV, there was an option – ranged attacks and some spells required line of sight. Here, no matter how I position my units, enemy archers always manage to hit any unit. Is it impossible to protect against ranged attacks? The manuals say to use single units as cover, etc. Can you only protect against melee attacks?
