Actually, I'd rather join the Sylvan faction.

Haha! So, you'll join the elves after all, and they're definitely not barbarians. ;) And the druids are amazing... :D

Aha!!! So, they are elves after all, and definitely not barbarians.;) And the druids are amazing...:D

Oops, no, I'd rather go and create some furniture in the Academy than hang out with those sellout druids:D (barbarians):D

You already rule over all the remaining races! I think that having one race with a matriarchy is fair!!! Otherwise, it just seems like some kind of chauvinism!

Okay, I agree, but why the Dark Elves? :( :( :( , why? :( :( :(

Sorry for creating a new topic, but I couldn't find a suitable one for this message.

It could have been posted in the general topic. If the question had been important enough, it would have been highlighted in a separate topic. Also, you can always consult with a moderator.

To be honest, the Dark Elves confused me – their units aren't particularly strong, but they are VERY expensive and reproduce terribly (all because of the matriarchy; men don't want to reproduce in captivity). They strongly resemble the elves from Warcraft if you consider the race as a whole. There, too, most of the units are female (and their AI is terribly written; there's a theory that the AI for the elves in Warcraft was written by women ;)). And the overall idea of playing as them is still unclear to me.

Magnus, if you still haven't decided, go play as Necropolis! We have enough undead for everyone ;)!

I really liked the Dungeon faction, although it didn't become my favorite. First – the chain of elements. Second – strong creatures. Third – awesome abilities (the raptor's ability is amazing; I was shocked when I saw it (0_o), I didn't even understand what was happening at first – it's one of the most interesting and amusing abilities in the game =)).

I also liked that if a Hero casts a spell on an enemy unit, the Shadow Matriarch shoots shadow arrows at it. :D

Finally, I tried version 1.0. My impressions of my favorite faction are the best. I played with a friend in a hotseat game on a small map (Peninsula) for two players; I played as Dungeon, and he played as Necropolis. We met in a dungeon on the third week. I had 4 witches, each with one upgrade, 7 unupgraded Raiders (I lost 5 in a battle with unicorns for a +2 luck artifact), 25 Furies, 57 Assassins, and a level 12 hero specializing in Assassins with stats 7 1 12 4 and abilities Improved Spells and Lucky Spells + Sorcery Expert. He had 375 skeleton archers, 50 zombies, 9 ghosts, and 9 vampires (the rest of the Raiders took them out in the Sulfur Mine:D). His hero was a vampire specialist with stats 1 4 7 6. He surrounded the skeletons in a corner, but then he received an Improved Stone Spike, which immediately eliminated the vampires and ghosts. The skeletons destroyed 11 Furies. The witches reduced the skeletons' and zombies' defense to 0 and slowed them down :). After that, the Assassins moved forward – they don't need to exchange ranged attacks, as they are real beasts in melee combat. The second time, the skeletons didn't shoot; the Raiders tied them up, and my hero cast Improved Ice Bolt, with Ice Bolt (+50% cold damage) – he took out a hundred skeletons at a time. The second time, luck was on my side – he destroyed 200 at once :D. The overall conclusion is that Dark Elves have the best units and the most powerful magic. The only downside is that they have few units of levels 1-2, but what units they are! 20 Furies + a hero can clear out all melee units up to level 4!

It seems your hero was much more leveled up (judging by the stats). Overall, it's an interesting description of the battle 8). I also play hotseat with a friend :-) We've probably tried all the maps already...
P.S. The Riders' upgraded ability is awesome! We split the evil witches (level 2) into stacks of 1 and [attack] the unit that ends up next to the Rider; it's total mayhem!

Regarding the elemental chains: it's an awesome feature! But what about identical elements? Has anyone noticed that the damage doesn't decrease by chance?

What are these elemental chains?

What are these element chains?

Well, in Dungeon, there's a building that unlocks after the Mage Guild reaches level 4. It's called either an element chain or an element portal, whatever. The point is, it allows the Warlock to see what element each unit consists of. This helps plan successful attacks. For example, a hydra is water, a minotaur is fire, so if you attack the minotaur with the hydra, the damage will increase. The same applies to spells.

That's how it works:)

Cool, thanks, I didn't know that! And tell me, what ability does the Castle have?

Well, in Haven, heroes can participate in battles, but only while riding a horse, and also transform one monster into another. Like turning a peasant into an archer, etc.

Don't confuse the person. There's no difference whether the hero is shooting or attacking – the damage is the same. Besides, in Inferno, for example, the hero also runs around the battlefield. =).
