if you go up against large neutrals, you can abuse terrain and arcane crystal.
X = obstacle
C= Crystal
U=your small stack
_ X _
_ _ C
U _ _
The AI will not attack the arcane crystal, allowing you to use hero attacks to kill any amount of large creatures if the terrain favors you.

I'm a little girl when it comes to taking on tier 7 and preserving troops. I never used chieftains before, I don't know how... Do you use a single stack to repeat his ability on centaurs or you use a giant stack as killing machine? I used executioners cause they have a lot of speed when boosted, whi...

Stronghold, dealing with magma/lava dragon
How do you deal with these guys (in 50+ amounts) without losing excessive troops? Their shield simply owns my creatures. In stacks of twos I can manage kiting with fully raged executioners but if they come in 4 stacks I'm in trouble.

For example, I know a situation where someone trained a lot of secondaries and gave them Last Stand, Expert Dark Magic, Expert Sorcery and Expert Enlightenment, and 7 stacks of 2 ghosts. Those heroes were sent to attack the enemy with Curse of the Netherworld. This wasn't even Hit and Run anymore, ...

Dunno, so many options really. Att, enlight, light, leadership, luck are all viable choices... What about defense? Not a good pick? And can you explain a bit better how come enlightenment be of any use to rangers? (And you know me well enough to assume I want to know those answers for PvP purposes ...

@godlyatheist Then pick logs faster :tongue: Seriously in almost any map I can get lvl 15+ on week 2, if the map ends week 4-6 and the map has enough goodies what more can you ask for? Picking up logs early is irrelevant if the game simply does not want to give me snatch after the pre-requisite are...

My thoughts on the skill system and hero development in general. Might and magic heroes: yes I would like this to return so any faction has a choice for both. Skills: might and magic heroes should have different % chance for skills at level up(obviously). Also, i like heroes 3 way of attribute havin...

The way some skills are offered is extremely stupid. Snatch, for example, as a tier 3 skill is often impossible to get after getting the requirement. Why do I need snatch when my hero is already lvl 15 and pretty much cleared the map? There is absolutely no point in having requirement for a skill if...

I played too much dungeon now it takes me forever to figure out the creeping trick for other factions :mad: Large units and slow walkers in this game is too easy to abuse against, especially with a terrain advantage. I wish there was a bot to do the job for me whenever I fight them, saves a lot of c...

I like maps that can be made to not have 75 assasin/sprites etc guarding wood/ore, it totally ruins the game for some faction. Big neutral stacks are welcome but not so big that you have to resort to lame tactics. Things like horde's of archangel/magna dragon as choke points has little effect on som...
