Posts from Tactics against Castle.

Could you suggest a strategy for playing against the Castle faction? I've been playing Heroes for a long time, but when playing with a friend on the same computer, we get different results (he always plays as Angels). How can I win against him more quickly?

Let's conduct what doctors call a medical history.
1. Difficulty level?
2. Map (size, random or not, etc.)?
3. Your race/your favorite hero?
4. What are the features of your friend's development/his favorite hero?
5. Is there anything else interesting you'd like to share about your games?

Difficulty is medium, maps are Random XL, there is no water, monsters are strong. I play as Necropolis, and the hero is chosen randomly (I'm hoping for Tanta or Vidomina). My friend also has a randomly chosen hero (he picks Mullich). We divide the map in half, eliminate the computer opponents (3 per player), and then we usually meet up around month 4. But if we play at the club, I win more often (because of skeletons and vampire lords, month 2).

That's why you need to hoard skeletons!! Expert Wizardry, Skeleton Converter and all that! You can develop Diplomacy and recruit all the first- or second-level creatures, and then—one breath and they are already skeletons)))) And since building angels is a strain in terms of gems, you can capture some mines, if of course you manage to reach them first)))). With some kind of Logistician. And when there are many skeletons, it takes longer to chop them down! As for the battle... well, you can hit the angels immediately with something—for example, Terror Knights, for double damage) and to make sure they don't resurrect each other or other units.
Does your friend split his angels? What is his tactic? Or do you just need a GENERAL TACTIC?

And playing as Necromancers is actually great against humans! There are plenty of people to drink blood from; these aren't elementals or golems, everyone is susceptible here!
