In my opinion, the strongest are Nature and Haven. Then come Necropolis and Stronghold. Dungeon and Sylvan are a bit weak.

Of course, this opinion is based on my personal gaming experience.

Interesting opinion... well, okay, you think Sylvan is weak (although I strongly disagree :D), but what about Dungeon:confused:?
P.S. Could you elaborate on why you formed this opinion?

:D

And could someone explain to me why life is considered weak? I already said what makes it strong, but why is it the weakest? I don't understand...

Нет, я же Гитлер.

There are always those who underestimate Life.

And there are those who dislike it (especially because of its excessive strengthening in Equilibris):smile02:
P.S. I'm talking about myself:smile51:

Usually, those who consider Life to be a weak skill point to the lack of direct damage spells or curses...

They point to the lack of brains:D (sorry for the harshness, but still).
It's a pity that they underestimate the blessings... Angel Guardian is a really great spell (in Inquisitor, this spell became a 4th-level spell!):)

I don't know what they're basing their arguments on, but sometimes a ward or blessing turns out to be better than a powerful attack spell.

Chaos is considered weak because of its direct damage spells; in my opinion, it's the worst magic.

Magic isn't bad; it's just effective for a certain period of time. When everyone is well-developed, it becomes somewhat weak. What's the point of killing 10 units in a squad if there are more than 100 of them (for example, against Balad)? It becomes ineffective, but there are still spells like Cat's Reflexes, General Haste, Confusion Cloud, and Magic Mirror, and even Split remains effective against heroes at any stage of the game.

This is the first time I've heard that Chaos magic is the weakest.
Maybe you haven't seen Disintegrate, Chain Lightning, or anything similar...
Although, humans still rule.

I've seen it, that's why I'm saying it.

But buffs (Cat reflexes, general haste, cloud of confusion, magic mirror) are indeed the only decent spells.

Direct damage is only strong in the early game... After that, it's not.

Only in the early stages is direct damage strong... But not later on.

Yeah... What about disintegration? What about chain lightning? What about suffocation? It's actually strong in the later stages. When both magic and witchcraft and pyromancy are maxed out.

As mentioned above... If you have 100 angels in your army and only 5 die, it's not very noticeable...

But if a hero gets hit, it will be a significant blow, and then the first-level units will start falling... And so on, piece by piece, until there are no chances left for maneuvers.
As for 100 angels in online mode, that's unrealistic, but Chaos can easily become very powerful.
