WTH! I tried things like stone skin, bless, prayer and other crap, and there wasn't any noticeable result... I think it's just decorative spells. At least, uncomparable with chain lig, meteors, Inferno etc that DO damage.

If you don't know how to use magic, even berzerk, town portal and sacrifice will become useless
(I, for one, don't know )

What?! Those spells are the bread and butter in the late game. Don't tell me you're going to cast chain lightning after the opponent just mass cursed your troops?!

Are the insults and mockery really necessary? I've seen several members recently who have just bought and started playing HOMM3. I think that's good. It's a testament to the quality of a game as old as HOMM3 that it's still being bought and enjoyed enough for people to join HC to learn and discuss it.
The library should be a place for all people of all levels. Those who are beginners should be allowed to learn, ask questions or make wrong statements without being insulted and mocked. Those who are more experienced should teach, correct and explain. Isn't that what a library in RL is for? To pass information from one person to another and one generation to the next?
As for damage spells vs enhancement/ability-reducing spells, it's true that in the majority of cases the damage spells are not the best choice. In most fights the creatures do the vast majority of damage. A good general should bring out the best in his army and provide them with the best skills and "equipment" as possible. At the same time find the weaknesses in his enemy....or create weaknesses.
With advanced/expert bless there are six creatures which DOUBLE their base damage (trogs, harpies, imps, goblins, gremlins and sprites). Low level creatures benefit more because +1 damage is a higher percentage increase for them.
Example: Trogs
Damage=1-3
Average damage=2
Max damage+1=4
100% increase
With mass bless on a town's 7 creatures, Conflux has the highest percentage increase with an average 52%. Castle is the worst (not counting necro) with 35% average increase.
The opposite spell, Curse, is similar with 80% min damage-1.
Example: Pegasus
Damage=5-9
Average damage=7
80% min-1=3
less than half damage
Curse doesn't have as much effect on low level creatures (compared to bless) because damage won't go below 1.
These numbers aren't trivial, especially with larger stacks. And even more, most of the non-damage spells last several rounds whereas a damage spell must be recast every round. Damage spells might look cool and give instant gratification, but other spells will usually have more affect on the outcome of the battle.
1 Slow, 2nd place bless/cure/haste/shield/stone skin/summon boat
2 Blind, 2nd place disrupt/precision/weakness
3 Worst spell level except Animate for necro, otherwise anti-magic/forgetfulness
4 Town Portal/Resurrect/Prayer/Expert Berserk, 2nd place Frenzy/Clone/Chain/Meteor
5 DD/Fly/Water walk

Hmm... I see that you do have to check homm3 spells when you're answering the thread. Water walk is not a fifth level spell. It is fourth.
