Posts from The weakest castle in Heroes of Might and Magic IV!
before this, everything was neatly organized, knowing when to rely on strength and when on life, and this is already well-known, as the game didn't come out yesterday. For example, I don't like strength (although I play it just to improve my skills), so that's why I talk about it like this. The others are more or less equal to me.
One, for example, is good at playing Necromancer, but doesn't know how to play Sylvan, another is good at playing Sylvan, but doesn't know how to play Necropolis (as he said!). Then someone declares themselves a pro at Chaos, but plays poorly with Sylvan and Necropolis.
Usually, a normal gamer knows how to play all factions, they just like
Optimal, I hope you don't think we're ARGUING? If so, let's stop. But it seemed to me that we were just sharing experiences, opinions, and impressions...
P.S. I won't be sitting in the castle (you won't get your way). But I'm in a better position, as the castle has reinforcements nearby. If you force a battle on me, we'll fight in the castle. Again, that's an advantage for me!

P.S. And I won't be sitting in the Castle (nope, don't hold your breath). But my position is more advantageous; after all, the Castle is right there with reinforcements. If you force a battle on me, we will fight in the Castle. Once again, the plus is mine!
Well, we aren't arguing, we are discussing the situation. And I'll try to force the battle on you in the open field, meaning I'll catch you. And I need to catch you so that reinforcements don't take a day or two to arrive. Meaning I need to wait until you get carried away with grinding, and then I'll ride up on a white horse and politely start the battle :D As for how I'll catch you... Well, that takes a couple of tricks, but I won't tell them:rolleyes:

Okay. So, we understand each other correctly. Let others know that we're not enemies. ;)
And I'll try to force a battle on the field, that is, to engage you. And I need to catch you so that reinforcements don't arrive in a day or two. That is, I need to wait for you to get carried away with leveling up, and I'll sit on a white horse and politely start the battle. And I'll catch you... Well, that involves a couple of tricks, but I won't tell you them.
One of the important factors in the game is magic resistance (of heroes and units); sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... and it can sometimes decide the outcome of a battle.
Here, Life has an advantage: magic is not only powerful but also versatile, and resistance to it is almost irrelevant because all spells are aimed at positively buffing its own army. Only the "Song of Peace" and the spell that deals damage to undead (I forgot its name) are cast on the enemy.
This can only happen by chance... I mean, you might accidentally stumble upon me. But if I see you in advance, then don't forget that I am Order. One spell, "City Portal," and I'm already in your castle with reinforcements. And I'll be waiting for you!
Well, if you hide in your Castle all the time, you'll only give Life even more time to develop, seize more mines, or castles. Also, don't forget that Angels move first and fly far, and the Order mage isn't a bodybuilder. Your only chance (but a pretty good one) is to develop quickly and attack the enemy's Castle before Life gets its Guardians and Angels. Thanks to Nobility, you'll develop faster, and you'll have a larger army. And if you compare the spells up to level 3 for Life and Order, Order undoubtedly leads. Hiding in a Castle, I think, is not the best tactic for this faction (especially in PvP games)
Well, if you spend all your time hiding in your castle, you'll still have more time to develop your hero, acquire more mines, or castles. Also, don't forget that angels move first and can fly far, while the Mage of Haven isn't a bodybuilder. Your only chance (but it's a pretty good one) is to develop quickly and attack the enemy's castle before the Life faction gets its guardians and angels. Thanks to its nobility, you'll develop faster and have a larger army. And if you compare spells up to level 3, Haven is undoubtedly superior. Hiding in a castle, I think, is not the best tactic for this faction (especially in PvP games).
I'm just speechless. Calling the Portal spell, which allows you to return to your castle, "hiding in your castle" is... (It's a shame they removed this spell during battles in Equilibris – it means something). You're wrong. (You can severely weaken an army with this tactic).

I AGREE, but now LIFE is getting fatter and it has quite a few quirks.
Well, life has gained some weight... but it wasn't thin to begin with))) But Death and Haven have lost a little weight... Good, they need to go on a diet!:D
Well, if you spend all your time hiding in your Castle, you won't be able to develop, acquire more mines, or control more Castles. Also, don't forget that Angels move first and can fly long distances, and the Mage of Order isn't a bodybuilder. Your only chance (but it's a pretty good one) is to develop quickly and attack the opponent's Castle before Life gets its defensive spells and Angels. Thanks to Nobility, you'll develop faster and have a larger army. And if you compare the spells up to level 3 for Life and Order, Order is undoubtedly superior. Hiding in your Castle, I think, is not the best tactic for this faction (especially in PvP games).
First, don't hide! Instead, fortify yourself with units and your Castle. Second, if he doesn't attack your Castle but starts raiding, I'll show him what's what with my reinforced army. Third, Life's Mage is even weaker. Fourth, an Angel won't reach my Mage on the first try. And besides, Angels aren't everything. I also have Titans. They don't need to move far, and they throw accurately, and they can deal with those same Angels. Fifth, how do you imagine my rapid development and Optimal's slow development? We play simultaneously and develop at the same time. Sixth, Nobility in online play (especially fast-paced games) will only be a burden for me. I might not even upgrade it, and instead, I'll upgrade my second Mage.
I'm speechless. Calling the Portal that returns to the Castle "hiding in the Castle" (It's a shame they removed this spell during battles in Equilibris - IT MEANS SOMETHING).
But the Portal couldn't be used during battle... Maybe you're confusing it with Teleport?
Well, I don't even know... I still think that in the game, against Life, a quick attack, a kind of blitzkrieg, is the key, and luring the enemy hero out of the Castle should be your goal.
Then, I don't agree that Life's mage is weaker; he can cast Celestial Shield...
Also, if you don't get close enough to the Castle, you can raid quite well, and you might run out of resources to replenish your army, and you can also deliver reinforcements to the battlefield, of course, it will take a while, but still...
I'm just speechless. Calling the Portal that returns you to the Castle: "hiding in the Castle."
Well, it depends on how you use it. If you use it every time you encounter an enemy army and just sit in the Castle, then it's just hiding, but if you use it to quickly gather units and attack, then it's a tactic...
You're wrong. (You can severely weaken an army with this.)
In what sense? If you don't use the Portal and always rush into battle? And I'm not saying it's a bad spell; I'll repeat once again that everything depends on how you use it! If you inflict maximum damage on the army and disappear, that's one thing, but using the Portal every time you encounter an enemy is "hiding in the Castle."
P.S.
Guys, the "Portal of the City" spell has always been and in all versions (I don't know about Equilibris, I only downloaded it yesterday) could be used during battle! At the same time, on the image where the number of lost/killed troops is displayed, it was written that the enemy fled using magic (or something like that), and there was a different animation on the image.
But the portal couldn't be used during battle... Maybe you're confusing it with teleport?
Why can't it be used? The city portal is a good way to escape without paying; it wouldn't be good if they removed it. And what's wrong with teleport? It seems to work normally, teleporting both allies and enemies. (I haven't checked in 3.51 yet, but I doubt they messed up the teleport).

P.S. Guys, you could always use the "City Portal" spell in all versions (I don't know about Ique, I only downloaded it yesterday). There was also a picture showing the number of lost/killed troops, and it said "the enemy fled using magic" (or something like that), and there was a different animation on the picture.
Well, that's good if they didn't remove it, and the picture is indeed different; it shows the hero being surrounded, and then he suddenly disappears
Отдай свои прошлые сны, В сомненьях себя обрети, В бешеном танце душа кружится! Не думай, что будет потом, Здесь и сейчас мы живем, Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
In Equilibris, it's impossible to escape 100% during a battle, so pay attention to HAVEN. I was very disappointed, especially because of this. P.S. I mean, you can't use the city's Portal, but you can escape with losses.
