Quote: Yes, blocking them is a decent method: but if haven player places marksmen next to them, you know what that means: precise shot, which is very deadly. I wouldn't be so quick in putting my nightmares in the range of precise shot
Yeah, there are times when rushing is a choice of your doom.
Quote: ChaosDragon: as a Dungeon player, I can tell you that playing dungeon is comfortable for a reason: your hero is a one man army. And even if your army fails, he never does. I mean, he can't get cursed,slowed, stat reduced, blocked, frenzied, killed - and so on. Very reliable. And that's the best point of warlocks
ah yes, warlocks have 8% chance of learning logistics, don't panic
Great, i read at the manual, it's only 2%, but i often offered logistic, it seems the correct chance is 8%.
By the way, dungeon is my first favourite faction when Heroes 5 released, even i have a plan to never switch my fave faction, that time, i'm really excited at their elemental chains, then i get bored, the bad thing is when i begin switched to inferno, the patch that allow warlock luck to occur at empowered spells was released, damn, i never got any chance to try it until HoF released. Maybe i will back to my first faction (dungeon) if i give up on inferno.
Besides, dungeon in heroes 3 and asylum in heroes 4 also one of my favourite faction, but later i switched to academy forever in heroes 4, the reason? they're easy to play and can win easily againts all (thanks to their genies's phantom force>titan and ice bolt), it seems heroes 4 academy is imba, at least for me. I'm no heroes 4 expert (i only understand asylum and academy very well), but it always like that for me.
Sure heroes 5 dungeon is not too creatures dependant, but that's one of my reason that makes me hate heroes 5 dungeon, i like dungeon in heroes 3 and 4, where my creatures also very useful, relying on destructive spells alone only give 50% chance of victory, the other 50% is by the creatures, i remember cat reflexes spell in heroes 4 which is very good to use at my creatures (especially megadragons ), i consider that spell as a might spell, not destructive. The best dungeon for me is heroes 3 dungeon, however they lack might power so much compared to heroes 5 dungeon, if i can create a new dungeon, i would like that dungeon as a combination of heroes 3 dungeon with might power of heroes 5 dungeon, i mean the creatures also very useful in determining victory, however, in heroes 5, dungeon creatures mostly act as a stationary tanker, that is my biggest disappointment that makes me switch to inferno, inferno creatures and dark spells has 50-50 chance in determining their victory.

I don't have enough words to write this post, so I'll say why it's the best faction: Wraight, Vampires, LEECHES and the Spectre are good also. My favourite is the lvl 6 army, the most interesting and good-looking of them all, of course we shouldn't forget it's qualities. The only disadvantage is it's ability. But that doesn't count when you have let's say over 50 of them. You simply charge with them.
NOW A QUESTION FOR ALL MEMBERS: WHICH WAS THE LARGEST NUMBERS OF SKELETONS RAISED IN HOMM 3? I AM WAITING FOR YOUR ANSWERS.

Game: Restoration of Erathia
MAP: Islands and Caves
Diffycult: Hard
Largest number of skeletons in heroes 3? 154 453 skeleton WARRIORS. Can you beat that? Game lasted like 30 month!!! My whole army was:
154 k skeleton warriors
7 k zombies
4 k wraiths
10k vampire lords
17k power lichs
5 k Dread knights
957 Ghost dragons
with 49 level Moandor. Those high numbers are thanks for Diplomacy
OK back to topic. So strongest faction? hmmm.. it is Academy, Haven or Necropolis. I would like to give vote for necro but due the new necromancry I have no choice but vote HAVEN

i think Castle/Haven is the best.
it is balanced they have good shooters and casters, very good and strong melee units( with the exception of peasants and conscripts ) and VEEEEEERy good abilities( battle dive, ressurect, taxpayer,...)

Watch out, Homer, it's a trap!
I don't know, maybe he started trying other factions when he realized that Rune patriarchs can't move and shoot in one turn?

I voted for the Dungeon as it is a high output low body army.
The heroes are great, and can get some amazing skills.
The critters are staunch for their levels if a little on the low growth side.
The main schools in the mage guilds are Destructive and Summoning.
Besides they have Black Dragons.

THE marksmen are hidious ugly creaatures that are vulnerable in mele atacks by powerfull units like the black bears or the magmas,unlike them the skirmisherss are quite good in melee,because of their no melee penalty,also crypling wound is awesome on the slow marksmen

Why do you want to slow marksmen ? they won`t move , just stay and shoot.Skirmishes as far i know can cause penalty to movement not initiative.
actually marksmen are ten thousand times better than skirmishes.They are the best shooter in the game(with elves and maybe titans).so you may not like it but that`s true

Ahem,in case if u don't know,crypling wound decreases the initative of the target by 30 % and the speed by 50%

No contest really even if the skirmishers play first. Unless the marksmen are really unlucky with the damage range they can take the first blow and eventually win even with a lower growth. Besides they have 12 shots compared to the skirmishers' 3 or 4.
