Posts from The strongest castle in Heroes of Might and Magic IV. Auto-translated

I always play as Necropolis – in all 3 recent installments – they’ve always been my favorite.

I'm glad, but what's the fun in playing as the strongest faction when a simple mistake can lead to failure? :smile26:

He probably meant playing against the computer, but maybe not... What's so bad about that? I can also play with different factions.

You know, I /like/ your attitude. YOU WANT IT - YOU GET IT. It feels like everyone else is below your level:mad:

So, we need to determine which faction is stronger in Heroes 4: Haven, Sylvan, or Necropolis. I understand that we are not considering the other factions.

Who are Haven's ranged units? Hobbit and Titan? There are only 2 of them. Sylvan has 3: Archer, Ballista, and Monk.

You're not understanding correctly... there are such heated debates here. Everyone is trying to get their way. All factions are participating. But Death is losing in the discussions because its defenders can't say anything other than "Death is the strongest and will crush everyone!".
But Life is lucky... it is being defended very well by OptiMAL (respect!).

OptiMAL, you're hurting my feelings :( Halfling, mage, djinn, titan - that's 4, against Life's 3.

Ultimately, it all depends on the situation.

Those are wise words! And we've already had disagreements about the front lines. I would arrange them like this in the rear: halflings, djinn, mages
on the front lines: hero, dwarves, titans
And still, everyone who can shoot should be a ranged attacker. And Haven also attacks with magic. That's a big advantage.
Regarding Life and its prospects. That's undeniable. I'm not arguing, but I'm setting my own priorities.

Yeah... lately, I've been favoring all the factions, and I think that's the right approach because sticking to just one faction gets boring. The most interesting thing is that I finished a battle with some guy this morning... he was playing Order, and I was playing Life... and I crushed him! :) I crushed him in a really cool way... :) He couldn't kill my Angels with the "Guardian Angel" (+8 life) for a long time... and my main hero reached level 27 and became very strong... Also, what's good is that there were a lot of stones on the map that gave a "+6" bonus to melee combat... In general, these stones give a lot of advantages:
"Whoever has more stones is stronger (a new saying inspired by the movie Brother 1, 2):)"
P.S. (In principle, Life has two major drawbacks that cause it to be ranked last:
1. No combat spells!
2. The longest development time, compared to all the others, "depending on the location on the map!"
)

Here! Angels with the "Guardian Angel" are incredibly powerful. But regarding development, I can say that you are wrong. Level 2 is built in 1 day, level 3 in 3 days, and level 4 depends on luck.
Life doesn't have combat spells, but it has protection against them. And not just against them, but also against warriors. If you "buff" 10 Angels with blessings, they will be more formidable than 10 Black Dragons:D. Order has a link: the mage. He is versatile, and on a large map, he learns even more spells. And when the Life mage is killed, an angel will resurrect him. You'll have to work hard:).

I also think that all people are brothers:smile23:
That your own shirt is closer to your body:smile39:
Stand up for your own:smile51:
But still, nature rules. (I just don't think many people agree with my opinion, and that says a lot:smile16:).
But I'll try to express my arguments. Angels appear 2 times a week.
Phoenixes appear 2 times, but there's an additional 1.1 Mantis.
The magic is good, especially "Dragon Strength," plus the first attack on Phoenixes with their resurrection (overall acceleration, resonance, summoning, etc.).
Sincerely, LeSHiJ

Now for the move of a lifetime: Cast "Guardian Angel"+"Nature's Ward"+"Prayer"+..... on angels = you know how it is :)
1 Praying Mantis per week. BUT! If you have 2 heroes in the army, then the mantises will have to "push out" someone from the army. And 100 dogs and 1 mantis—I think there's a difference :)(This is just an example, since by that time there will be about that many dogs)
