Posts from - Tactics skill in Heroes 3.

You're playing strangely!

My tactic is to have no tactic or logic (I just played that way in Heroes of Might and Magic I when I was a kid, and it stuck).

Wouldn't you like to revisit your childhood tactics?)))

It is actually very effective. Seriously.

I personally also appreciate tactics quite a bit, because my hero is usually Crag Hack, and I focus on developing combat skills rather than magic (it plays a supporting role and is often not very high-level). We get creatures, as soon as possible, we level up tactics, we place creatures, and put Ogres and Wolves close together - the attack is almost always successful...

Please tell me!

What do you mean by DarkMawr?

A very useful skill, especially for a melee unit. Besides the fact that it allows you to send slow units into battle almost immediately, you can also block archers with not the fastest warriors, and you can always hide archers behind your army.

Kick me and laugh in my face, but tactics are a super thing!!!!
For Rampart, tactics allow dwarves and dendras to reach the enemy faster and protect the shooters if the enemy doesn't strike across 2 cells.
For Dungeon — correctly positioning the shooters and the striking force
For Tower — same thing, you need to protect the shooters, they are strong!
For Castle, move the striking force closer to the enemy so that under the effect of prayer, halberdiers and crusaders can hit any enemy unit...
and in general — if the army slots are full, and all units are needed, then the enemy, for example with dragons or phoenixes, can strike the center across 2 cells immediately and hit 2 units

for Barbarians and swamp — I forgot to mention Tactics are INDISPENSABLE!
there you go-)

I don't often use this tactic, but it's a very good skill. You can place any slow unit closer together. This tactic is only unnecessary when all units are fast.

Exactly!
So, there's no need for another Rampart!

You know, tactics are a great ability! On the third tier, the Black Knight is very effective, both in attack and defense; just place him closer to the enemy. Ghosts and vampires increase their attack potential, and zombies and skeletons will eventually reach the enemy. A Lich placed on the front line, close to the enemy, deals full damage, and then he can be moved back. That's probably all I wanted to say, but this is just the basics, which can be applied to any race. After that, everything depends on the depth of your thinking!))))) Well, show off, show off, what's wrong with that?)))))

Tactics are useful, but only when you're not a mage and your army is stronger! Otherwise, a close-quarters battle starts immediately, and it becomes more difficult to use any group magic – you'll end up hitting your own troops, and they'll destroy your army. I generally don't use it very often, only when necessary.

Or when you have many slow warriors in your army (of course, in your own). For a mage, you can use tactics to group units before battle, to protect archers.

I often choose the skill for hero-scouts,
which provides +1 to a useful resource,
allowing them to escape to the castle if necessary.

I rarely use tactical skills, and even then, mostly only in online games when playing against the AI; tactics are simply unnecessary.
