Posts from The most UNPOPULAR faction in Heroes 5.

Dark forces are not always associated with death... vampires, perhaps, but demons are also evil... but they are not undead. And everything is connected with death... paladins don't just wander around the battlefield. They have killed more than a dozen... and they are good... but it's not clear about vampires... the fact that they are undead is absolutely certain...

She is a drow vampire =))
Leave her alone.

well, yeah... and I'm a Paladin on a unicorn)):D

Mages. They are incredibly annoying.

Hmm... I guess the Elves. They seem to have gotten weaker! But I still sometimes play as this faction, while I almost never play as the Dungeon faction; I just can't seem to make it work.

They are all good in their own way, but I just can't get used to the Dwarves. They seem too strong. I don't like them. But Mages are the best, and not just because they are the strongest or the best. It's just more interesting to play as them, as you have more tactical options and the game feels more diverse. And if you understand every detail, you can win and get a lot of enjoyment (and isn't winning against a much stronger force through tactics, deception, and cunning the real pleasure, and Mages are the best at that?). Isn't this the point of games?

For me, it's the Necromancer and mages.
I didn't like playing as Necromancers right away because of their appearance (I don't understand why many say that in 5 the necros are the most beautiful; in my opinion, it's exactly the opposite), besides, I got tired of playing with the undead in previous parts. Although recently I decided to play them, and I was shocked by how demanding this Castle is regarding resources (specifically ore). People (or rather dead ones), where do you get so much ore to play as necros on a hero? In my opinion, light elves require less wood than Necromancer require ore.
As for the mages, I didn't like them while doing a Walkthrough of a mission. I don't even know why, probably a bit of everything: the appearance, the strength of the units, and the game tactics. That's why I haven't played them since.
Anyway, that's about it.

I understand you perfectly, especially regarding the mages. Unlike the Necropolis, they always lack everything (which puts a strain on their morale), but that's not the worst part. The worst is when you start playing with them on the same map after playing Inferno. When a hero of level n has an attack and defense of 2-3, it's infuriating! It's like playing as a neutral faction! Meanwhile, the Demon, unlike the Mage, has an attack that is 20 points higher + constant luck + skilled attack with all slots filled + hellfire... And yet, to say that the Mages have better magic... more diverse magic - yes!
Therefore, the units themselves are not weak for the Mages; in fact, quite the opposite (although I spoke out against them, now I repent, I have realized everything). They just look pale when the hero is a Mage. (in this case, even an Archdevil will look more impressive than a Titan - because its damage is doubled by the hero).
Mini-artifacts help, but not as much as, for example, a 50% bonus to the army through summoning in Inferno... and by the time you create decent mini-artifacts, you can lose a lot in development or not even live to see that moment...

Mages aren't completely hopeless, after all. What do you think?

Of course not, since many people speak highly of them, ranking them as the strongest faction, etc. Maybe they just require a different playstyle, and I'm not good at it... I just meant that I understand the previous statement...

Elves... What a pathetic race – besides the Hunters, there isn't a single decent unit... Their heroes' magic is also terrible, as are their abilities...

Elves???? Yes... yes... These are Dark Elves! They are just a remnant of the Sylvan Elves!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Elves... They're a rather unremarkable race - besides Hunters, there aren't any truly capable units... Their heroes also have poor magic and abilities...

But who else do you need besides Hunters? :confused: Although, there are also Ents, and the dragons are pretty good. High initiative, luck, speed, Ossir in the end... You can definitely use light magic, just develop it... and you can also successfully use Chaos magic if you level it up, enchant arrows, and then shoot with both the hero and the ballista (and it can be a fast-firing one - 3 shots + 3 spells - that's already something)... Elves are good.

I don't like playing as humans, even though they are strong. I always play as the "bad guys," like Necropolis or Inferno. There's something about them that appeals to me...
