The "castle" town (or however it was called) was probably the weakest (the palladin was a crappy high tech unit), maybe it could do some damage in early game, not sure. The town with phoenix had 2range units I think, still it was pretty weak and expensive. I think that the best town was the one with dragons (despite hydras) I think barbarian castle was in middle As for HOMM3 (I remember this game much better) the best town was definitely castle (the one with angels), still on LAN most people I knew preferred to take the dungeon (with black dragons) and one hero with bonus to Logistics and Tactics (Gunnar??), because there was a certain "fast capital with quite a lot of army" BO. The castle with the devils was probably the most sucky (or maybe it was the swamp one with dragonflies), the barbarian castle was pretty weak too. The necro castle seemed weak despite the skeletons :/ My friend played HOMM3 multi a lot and said that everyone was choosing "castle", the second was the one with elfes (on bigger maps) and the one with titans was chosen only on really big maps. Only few enthusiasts chose dungeon. Still from my games on LAN where we chose random races and heroes usually the person with dungen or castle won why the fuck would everyone choose castle? castle is so sucky, theres no good hero in it, archangels cost 3 fucking gems and the castle doesnt even produce gems -_- and i bet u havent fought 10k skeletons yet | ||

I downloaded the game and beat a level, I'm so proud of myself. I had to restart once because my neighbour somehow had black dragons by week 3. How the fuck is that possible, anyone else get pissed when a computer runs you over with end game units 5 minutes into the game? | ||

It is useful only late game, when you have a really powerful character. Plus the useful spells are pretty hard to reach (mass slow, chain lightning). In HOMM2 it was easy to make a mage character quite fast and they totally owned. In HOMM3 there are just to many units, even the level 5 earth spell implosion with expert earth magic (not to mention expert wisdom as a prerequisite and a huge amount of resources) and the "brown crystal ball"(whatever) did like 2000damage with ~15power (LOL!). That's like dunno 6,5 tytans... still the fly spell and especially town portal usually meant victory.. that was a hella imbalance it's so true that you won't come back to HOMM2 if you play HOMM3, second part is too simple, still the graphics in 3rd part suck | ||

Necropolis is the best town,many levels above other towns.Its forbidden at tournaments:-))With necro good player can beat 2 good players against him if they play other towns (except if they pick flux ) The Second is flux(conflux) the only town that stand a chance against necropolis,but still Necro>Flux,also flux is forbidden at tournaments. Next are the tournamet towns(the towns which everyone picks when playing important matct) -Rampart,Castle,Dungeon and an idea behing,but playable- Stronghold .This towns are pretty even ,but the map size and template plays huge role at their balance.Rampart is the most flexible race from them and thats why the most used.Rampart is equally strong at any map,but the castle is strong at XL map even a little stronger than Rampart and weaker at L maps and useless on smaller maps than L.Dungeon has the hero(Shakti) with most potential from all tournamet towns ,if u have a day with shakti u'll crush rampart and castle on any map.Without shakti noone pick dungeon to play with.Stronghold are good town but to win with them is like playing ZvP on semi-island map,but they can do it with that hero with the balista speciallity I cant remeber his name now sorry(I stopped played heroes for 4 years maybe) The rest towns are crap-Tower,Inferno and Fortress,the difference between them and the tournamnet towns is not that big like between tournament towns and Necro&Flux ,but still noone will play with them in important matches. p.s note that The most powerfull heroes are the diplomacy heroes,but they are also forbidden.Diplomacy heroes are even bigger than Necropolis.Logistic heroes are also forbidden. p.s.s when I played HOMM1&2 I was noob and playes with friends so I am not clear which towns are stronger,but I can answer very detailed about everything related with HOMM3 | ||

Also magic races owned non magic races mid to late game. Chain lightning and ressurrect so good the big advantage to pheonixes is that they are Ultra Fast, so no matter WHO you end up fighting, you ALWAYS get to cast the first spell its nightmarish fighting a mid to high level sorceress as undead | ||
