Ussually shakti starts with around with 65-75 trogodyles and sometimes even with 90-100 trogodyles if u know how to micro them u can kill very strong neutrals at the beggining,u can even take 7lvl dwelling first week if u find one and with portal of summon u become very powerful,but thats the best scenario,most of the games u took lower level dwelings ,but even with them u can be very strong secend and third week which is very very important.Usually the games ended between 3-rd and fifth week even on XL map.And with shakti even if u didnt find dwellings u can kill neutrals easy first and second week ,so u can expand to other teritories => more gold and resources => better builded town and higher level hero. The Dungeon has powerful units for final battle ,but they dont have unit like grand elf ot Cavalry which can be build first week and allows easy neutral killing without victims in your army,thats why only shakti is usefull from Dungeon,coz he can provide this first and second week power.Shakti 100-120 trogodyles with good placement and micro can kill in fisrt or second week griffin conservatory with 1 or 2 angels inside .These are the main reasons why shakti is good. | ||

If they play with 0 resources then making beholders may be a problem The Second is flux(conflux) the only town that stand a chance against necropolis,but still Necro>Flux,also flux is forbidden at tournaments. why is flux forbidden? to be frank I never played armageddon's blade, maybe like 3-4 games 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 why are logistics forbidden? o_O I understand banning diplomacy which is pretty random, but logistics no gunnar??? (aka logistics+tactics+nearly 100% earth magic) why are the tourneys played on imossible? that seems to be stupid (ok maybe I sound like a BGH noob), I kinda don't understand it, standard resourcess allow for more build orders etc I highly doubt that shakti can get more than 50 troglodytes, unless the game was patched or something like that (I dont play armageddon's blade), because of the "buy hero-cast spells-buy hero-cast spells" exploit On May 04 2005 14:30 nortorius wrote: Won't run?

shakti maybe good in the beginning but i doubt he can take 7th lvl dwelling first week, and i doubt he would win in late game vs neela/mephala(but im not sure how big this first week advantage is, never played with him nor played a tournament | ||

fighter races are MUCH stronger than the wizards, they can only do one spell a turn which would usually end up being chain lightning and that doesnt nearly compensate for high attack/high defense skill, especially if you use units with high hit points compared to their price or other anti chain lightning tactics also fighter races can get a spell book from one mage guild and just use a good level 1 spell like blood lust, stone skin or whatever boosts a unit also mage guilds are ridiculously expensive, and I don't even have to tell how bad things look if the other guy's best unit is immune to ur best damage spell when you have 10 less attack and defense skill late game, basicly ur entire army cant do anything in addition u need to watch your mana in addition mages are ridiculously weak early game, which is the important part damn WTF I would own u all at HOMM2 btw: necromancer was the weakest IMO. They only had vampire lords (possibly the best unit in the game though) but they were hard to get and necros never had the attack/def skill to make them work decently and everything else about necromancer sucks also logistics, dimension door and armageddon > all | ||
