The strongest Necromancers! Can legions of skeletons really be defeated?

Considering the realities of the latest 1.5 and 2.1 patches, this statement is no longer relevant. And even before, if you didn't drag the game out too long, everything could be resolved.

Yes, skeletons aren't scary at all, and even back then, you could deal with them, and now even more so. Necromancers aren't that scary of a faction. And in general, there are no truly scary factions; I mean, there aren't any factions that you should be afraid of. There are only players that you should be afraid of. The main thing isn't the faction; the main thing is who is playing. :D

Any idiot can destroy skeletons, but it's difficult to deal with Liches and Undead (or Death Knights).

You're exaggerating when you say that one and a half skeletons are easily destroyed... Not to mention 200 zombies, which usually accumulate. Undead are cheap and there are many of them, and that's the whole point...
In general, all races are good, it just depends on the specific conditions. For example, on small maps, elves, Dungeon, and Haven are better, while on large maps, Necropolis, Inferno, and Academy are better.

Haven is actually better on larger maps.
Because its special ability – unit training – is very useful. BUT it requires money!
And where will you get it at the beginning of the game?
That's why.

You're right about the ability. But it almost doesn't work against the undead.

I agree with Minerva, she made a good point. But I'll add that Dwarves are like a wall.

My choice is Dungeon :smile49:
1. Huge variety of tactics
2. No useless heroes; any hero can be taken as the primary one (only Irbet stands out from the list, but even her/him, when playing against Inferno, can be taken as the primary).
3. Emphasis on magic (I agree this is a very debatable argument, it depends on the preferences of the specific player).
4. The army fights with quality, not quantity (units of levels 1, 2, 4, and 5 are the best in their class; levels 6 and 7 are among the top three (IMHO))
5. There are no inconvenient opponent races, only inconvenient players :D (although at first I considered Academics and Dwarves to be such :smile35: , but then I found the antidotes :smile13:

Considering the overall appearance, diversity, and strength, I like Inferno the most, but the castles are so different that I enjoy playing as almost every faction...

Sorry for the question, it might not be relevant to the topic, but since the topic is about races, could you please tell me, you idiot, how to play as the Outcast race in the Hammers of Fate? I can't figure out how to play as them, and I really want to. If you don't want to answer, then just point me to where I can find the answer.

I apologize for the off-topic question, but since the topic is about factions, could you please tell me, you idiot, how to play as the Renegade faction in Hammers of Fate? I can't figure it out, and I really want to, but if you don't want to answer, then direct me to where I can find the answer.

Can I ask a question? What other Renegades are you talking about? If you're referring to the Red Inquisition of Biara, that's not a faction, and you can't play as it. It's an upgrade for Haven!

How do you use this upgrade?

Only in the campaign. There's no other way unless you install the modern_haven mod.

In my opinion, mages can balance the game against any opponent. For example, you don't need to take Leadership and Luck, and you can maintain these bonuses through minor artifacts. Also, their magic is the strongest, and of any school. With a little health in an artifact, Golems will be able to stand calmly against legions of skeletons, compensating with their health.
