The Academy still evokes slightly more sympathy in me than the Dungeon... just a little, but it's ahead. In general, for something like the Library, you can put up with a lot. I really like using magic. Here, everyone is criticizing the Gremlins, but the resurrection of golems and ballistae is a pretty strong plus for a Tier 1 unit... Plus, I like ranged attacks, and here the Tier 1 units can shoot... it's easier to take mines in the first week than with zombies, don't you agree! We can easily and gently eliminate some peasants and skeletons. And the Rakshasa? It's... I don't even know what it is, especially if you enhance it with an artifact that increases speed, morale, and initiative! I'm actually afraid of them myself!:D Of course, the mages are very disappointing with their ability to kill everything. You don't even know where to put them. And you can't protect them either - that's a serious drawback. But you can always aim... and they can take out several squads at once - especially the original squad and its phantom! Well, as for the Titans... they really have no competitors in the 5th part at Tier 7. And that's a shame... but it gives me another reason to play as the Academy. In general, I have had a reverent attitude towards Titans since the 2nd part: a Tier 7 ranged unit! A dream! A dream for those who like to sit in trenches...:D Silvanis;51592
Gargoyles are just terrible, they can only be used to counterattack and prevent archers from shooting, and the Djinns are no better - they just die immediately. No mini-artifacts can save them.
Well, they don't save them... It depends on what mini-artifacts! If the artifact is created by a hero of level 20+, then it helps a lot. Put an artifact on the Djinn that increases defense, hit points, and gives magic resistance - and voila, try to bite! After equipping such an artifact, my Djinns bravely went on the attack, and didn't just sit around casting spells... Although, the fact that they are large really hinders them. It's simply impossible to reach them.:( Oh, how good are the mages and Titans, adorned with artifacts that increase initiative, attack, and luck! It's just awful.:p Silvanis;51592
And I play the most with the Elves:) I've always liked them:) And they fit my favorite tactic - "keep the enemy at a distance and attack from afar" (it's a simple tactic, I know, it doesn't work well in 5, so sometimes I have to come up with such tactical tricks! oh dear:) )
Yes, it's my favorite tactic... It's called "I feel sorry for the bird," I wouldn't want my units to be hurt...:D The Elven archers in the 5th part are just awful, worse than a nuclear war... The best archers, IMHO.

Artifacts are great, but there are simply not enough resources to acquire them! If you don't have a Master's Amulet, then buying an artifact that immediately increases everything is simply not feasible.
Rakshasas are, of course, good :) I've had a reverent attitude towards cats since childhood:D, and here they can also fight without retaliation and perform a powerful charge in their upgraded form.
Goblins aren't that scary either; buy them a cheap health artifact, and try to kill them! The problem is that they can't kill anyone either... (the academics are too reluctant to increase their attack).
Mages are, of course, good :) no doubt about it :) (my favorite unit was in Heroes 2; I've loved mages ever since I first read "The Witcher"). Titans shoot well, but they also lack attack power! It's a nightmare when titans can't defeat a unicorn with a single blow?! And the culprit is a stoned giant on an elephant (don't think I'm criticizing the hero's model - it's very cool and original!). Although their ability helps them somewhat.
Gargoyles are flying zombies. They can help, but their only purpose is to absorb retaliation and hinder archers. In all my gameplay in Heroes 5, they have only really helped me 3-4 times, and 2-3 of those times were in battles in the first week :P
In general, it's strange that 4 units have retaliation (3 archers + 1 rakshasa), and the hero doesn't increase their attack. It's illogical.
P.S. - the Titan in Heroes 2 is totally awesome!!!:D:D:D
Artifacts are great, but there are definitely not enough resources to acquire them! If you don't have the Amulet of Mastery, then buying an artifact that immediately increases everything just isn't feasible.
Well, by the time a hero levels up enough to create a powerful artifact, there should already be enough resources accumulated – everything is built (by the way... I really like having a secondary hero with "Pathfinding," who efficiently loots all kinds of mills and squeezes out extra coins from a leprechaun:D). Silvanis;51710
It's a different matter that they can't kill anyone either... (the scholars are too reluctant to increase their attack) It's just weird – 4 units have retaliation (3 archers + 1 Rakshasa), and the hero doesn't increase their attack. It's illogical.
Well, there are also arenas, and artifacts that increase luck are not that rare, fortunately. And most importantly – the "Education" skill. In the 3rd part, I never took it, but here it wonderfully adds to the hero's characteristics. Silvanis;51710
P.S. – the Titan in the second game is totally awesome!!!:D:D:D
Yeah, they didn't dirty their feet on the enemies – they punched them in the nose with a stun gun.:D And the noise they made when they ran was incredible!!!
This is definitely Necropolis! I love everything related to death (in a good sense of the word). Dragons are certainly lame, but what can you do if the developers didn't have enough brains to make them stronger?:mad:

- Necromancers have few creatures with active skills.
Sylvan is the most beautiful. Academy is the strongest in terms of defense. Inferno is for those who like it. Dungeon is the most appealing. Necropolis is the strongest in terms of attack.
Sylvan is the most beautiful. Academy is the strongest in terms of defense. Inferno is an acquired taste. Dungeon is the sexiest. Necropolis is the strongest in terms of attack.
In conclusion: Dungeon.
How can you say "Academy is the strongest in terms of defense":eek:
Maybe you meant Gnomes:smile47:
Hmm, "Sylvan is the most beautiful" - I don't think so.
GM: "Sylvan is the most beautiful." I don't think so.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But the elves – yes! Their beauty is such that you just want to live among them!

Especially for the BLOOD KING:
Dwarves are the best when it comes to defense! And in general, I'm talking about that moment in the Academy campaign, when you had to defend a cool castle in the upper right corner of the map. I had so much trouble with it!
