FACTIONS
HAVEN
Knight: 7/11/3/4
Haven gameplay is typically might based with light or dark support, whether defensively or charging forth in a hurricane of steel and fury.
Leadership: Only faction that can have both empathy/retribution.
Dark: Fallen Knight unique skill for +5 spellpower.
Destructive: 2->8%. Haven has low spell dmg but access to both cold steel and fiery wrath. Fire/Ice masteries also worth considering as they start with fireball and frost ring.
Summoning: 2->8%. Makes up for the lack of spellpower with Celestial Conjuring that summons +40% creatures and replaces mummies with celestials.
WarMachines: Ballista makes up for the lack of attack + knowledge with Artillery(-50% defence).
Sorcery: Removed since it is not needed.
- 10k gold for training. It can train 54 archers/50 footmen/12 priests, more if you save gold from merchant.
- Counterstrike 5/15/20%->15/40/45% retaliation bonus.
- Benediction 100->50% Atb. (+2 Att/Def/Morale, +15% Init)

- Priests 9-12->13-17dmg, 80->60hp.
- Angels now have both [DV] and [Resurrect Allies].
INFERNO
DemonLord: 11/4/3/7
Inferno gameplay is primarily offensive/control. Their units are swift and offensive but will fall fast without support. Aim should be to weaken or disable the opponent's dps while mana drain and gating start giving you the upper hand. DemonLords normally use dark / light support but can focus on destructive/summoning with succubus channeling.
Offense: Has Teleport Assault and Power of Speed.
Luck: Swarming Gate unique.
Leadership: 2->6%. Swift Gating and Gate Master unique. No empathy.
Light / Summoning: 2->6%
- Hellfire 10x->20x dmg, [also triggers on retaliations].
- Consume corpse 100->50% Atb, 1 mana per 30->60hp.
- Gating bonus 40/45/50->45/45/45%, starting Atb 0->35%.
- Familiars steal 14 mana.
- Horned demon 8->10 Init, Explosion 1->3 uses, 12->15Hp, +[Avenging Flames 2x].
- Cerberus 15->17Hp.
- Firehound 75->100% dmg to all targets.
- Succubus mistress 6->9Att, 6->7Def, 6->9 mindmg, 4->5 Speed.
- Succubus seduction->[Channelling], +[Fierce retaliation], 9->11 Init.
- Pitlord [+25% Magic Proof], 4->5 speed, 120->130Hp.
- Archdevils now both [Summon Demons] and [Relocate] units within 5 tiles.
NECRO
Necromancer: 2/7/12/4
Necropolis gameplay is mostly defensive/control. Units are tanky but medium damage/initiative and the faction's affinity for curses/summons/defense and mana leeching can offer great survivability. Necro is the only faction that starts with raise dead.
WarMachines: 2->6%. Plague Tent unique, first aid tent bonus.
Luck/Light: 2->6%
Leadership: Removed since it is not needed.
- Necromancy bonus 3 out of 7 stacks
(Max: 125 skel/70 zom/32 gho/12 vamp/6 lich/4 wig/3 dragon).
- Banshee howl 100->50% Atb. (-2 Luck/Morale, -15% Init)
- Skeleton archers 1->2 mindmg, 1->2Att, 2->6Def.
- Skeleton warriors no [Shield Allies].
- Incorporeal first attack [always misses], then alternates between hit and miss.
- Poltergeist can now Steal Ammo within 7 tiles.
- Vampire lord 11->12 Init, 9->11Att/Def, 7->8 Speed.
- Torpor factor decrease and duration 2->1.5 turns.
- Master Lich [Death Cloud].
- Wraiths now both [Harm Touch] and [Death Wail].
- Death knight alt to ghost dragon. 11 init, 7 speed, [Rider Charge] and [Random Hex] (curse, slow or vulnerability).
SYLVAN
Ranger: 3/11/5/6
Sylvan is good at offense or defense, might or magic. High initiative/mobility and avenger can put a lot of pressure on the opponent though your most damaging units are also the most fragile.
Sylvan is the only faction with rain of (imbued) arrows and high druids, giving it a distinct advantage in spellcasting despite the lack of high base spellpower.
Primary school Destructive->[Summoning].
Luck: Elvin Luck unique to sylvan/dungeon.
Leadership: Forest Guard Emblem unique.
WarMachines: 2->6%. Ballista makes up for the lack of attack + knowledge with Artillery. Imbue ballista unique. Imbued ballista no longer resets the hero's turn!
Dark/Summoning: 2->6%
Sorcery: 4->8%
- [Avenger] 40->100% chance for 100->40% dmg.
- Imbue arrow 0->10% Atb drop.
- Limited favoured enemies.
- Sprites lose wasp swarm, gain [Pixie Dust](random LvL1/2/3 curse/bless with wasp swarm instead of decay).
- War dancers [Agility], +1 Att/Def.
- Force arrow 50->25% defence reduction.
- Master hunter +[No Range Penalty], 5-8->4-6dmg
- Druid elder improved Stone Spikes.
- [Bond of Light] expert->advanced for friendly and enemy light spells.
- Unicorn blind 2->1.5 turns.
- Crystal dragons +[Crystal scales].
(immune to vorpal/hand of death)
DUNGEON
Warlock: 7/2/12/4
Dungeon creatures favour offense over defense but lack sylvan's initiative. To prevent losses you have to hit hard and fast with spells as well as units. Mana is in short supply so empowered spells should be used sparingly and units/spells should seek elemental chains to deliver maximum effect with minimum mana.
Primary school Summoning->[Dark].
Offense: Has Power of Speed and Teleport Assault.
Luck: Elvin Luck unique to sylvan/dungeon.
Leadership: 2->6%. Aura of Swiftness unique. No empathy.
Light/Defense: 2->6%
- Poison 1x->1.5x
- Invisibility 1->3 uses, 2->3 turns.
- Stalkers 12->13 init.
- Minotaur taskmasters Aura of Bravery 2->3.
- Mino Gladiators 8->9 Init, [Bravery 1->5]
- Dino rider 9->14Def, Rider Charge 20->12%.
- Brisk raider 9->13Def, 7-12->10-13dmg, 25->80% Wheel Attack.
- Hydra regeneration 30-40->40-60Hp.
- Acidic hydra 9-12->11-14dmg.
- Matriarch spellbook: Bloodlust->[Arcane Crystal].
- Shadow mistresses 10->13 Init, 5->6 Speed, +[Weakening Strike].
- Shadow mistresses get teleport animation to make up for their slow walking. Still count as walkers.
- Random Hex(repurposed Whip Strike) improved chance for slow, weakness or vulnerability [instead of Frenzy].
- Red dragons +[50% Fire-Proof], +[Immune to Mind Control]
(fear/frenzy/puppet).
ACADEMY
Wizard: 2/3/8/12
Academy creatures depend on spell support more than others. With three ranged units, it is recommended to stand your ground and focus fire on the highest dps units. Often you may be better off avoiding or stalling attacks to avoid retaliations. The challenge of academy is to make up for your lower might stats and medium spellpower with your high knowledge and you have two tools for that: Mark of the wizard(double casting) and artificer(unit stat bonuses based on knowledge). Other notable advantages are a better spell variety(magic library), redirection of single-target hostile spells(magic mirror) and swift revival(consume artifact). Academy works well with light/summoning, dark/summoning, warmachines/single school or destructive with warlock's luck. Attack and defense are rarer but solid.
Leadership: 2->6%. March of the Machines unique. No empathy.
Offense: 2->6%. Has Power of Speed and Teleport Assault.
Defense: 2->8%
- Free Mini arties, new formula:
[ Attack/Defence: 1+N/4->N/3 (+1 at 12/15/18)
[ Luck/Morale: 1+N/10->N/4 (+1 at 12/16)
[ Speed: 1+N/15->N/6 (+1 at 12/18)
[ HP: 1+N/5->N/3 (+1 at 12/15/18)

- Rakshasa raja 20->24Def, 8->9 Init.
- Titans now both [Call storm] and [Call Lightning].
- Call Storm ranged penalty 2->5%
FORTRESS
RuneLord: 5/8/7/5
Fortress troops can hold their ground, take some beating and systematically start pushing back. They do not deal much damage individually but between runes and incapacitating effects they don't have to. They have plenty of counters: Curses? Rune of exorcism. Destructive? Rune of revival, armoured and fire protection. Might? Incorporeality or dragonform.
Light: Runelore gets the most out of light magic.
Destructive: Medium spellpower but +50% to fire magic and preset fireball. Priests/Flamelords can apply mark of fire for +50%.
Summoning: 4->6%. Runic Armour unique.
WarMachines: Ballista makes up for the lack of attack + knowledge with Artillery. Unlocks Runic Machines unique in runelore.
Sorcery: 2->10%
Dark: 2->6%
- Limited resources for runes, same resource per rune tier.
- Runic Attunement 1->2 turns
- Rune of Revival 40% of fallen -> 30% of [max stack].
- Rune of charge and elemental immunity banned.
- Fear/Paw strike 100->50% atb drop, +50% chance.
- Mountain guards +[Shieldwall], 12->10hp, 2->5Att, 8->9 Init.
- Improved cripple factor.
- Berserker Att/Def 7->10.
- Mark of fire improved factor, 100->50% bonus.
- Flamestrike 120->100% dmg.
- Priest and flamelord fire immunity -> [50% Fire Proof].
- Both priests get [Minefield] and [Crossfire].
- Fire shield 20->25%, magma shield 40->50%
- Lava dragon gets +[Fire Shield], Liquid Breath 10x->15x.
STRONGHOLD
Barbarian: 13/8/2/3
Stronghold forces are durable and offensive, with good mobility. Stronghold gameplay rewards offense, which feeds your rage and shields you from damage. Orcs have two weaknesses: Dark magic(shatter dark recommended) and being caught with their pants rage down. They are more vulnerable in the first turn so you may want to keep your key units in the back lines against fast, might-heavy chargers. They have good odds vs destructive and the opponent is forced to focus fire on one unit at a time to prevent its rage from building up again. They work well with any might skill but particularly leadership and defense (due to the rage mechanics). Warcy is an excellent skill as it speeds up rage accumulation and warmachines can provide good ranged support against factions that can keep you pinned down(and Lvl 1/2/3 dark counter with tent).
Shatters: You can get one for free from quest huts(except shatter des) and they lower mastery by 1.
Wacry: 2->8%
- Bloodrage 65->35% reduction, LvL3 rage 1000->750pts.
- Mighty warcry +6->+10 levels (+50% effect)
- Horde's Anger and Fear my Roar banned.
- Puppetted units -50 -> +50 rage/turn
- Hero attack on enemies 0->+30 Rage. (Like warcries)
- Defile magic triggers more often at 30% effect. [Cannot 100% block spells].
- Set snares -1/-2 speed. [Cannot 100% stop].
- Centaur marauder +1 init/speed/hp, [Fierce Retaliation]
(so maneuver 50->100%)
- Mauler 12->15hp. Lvl 3 rage Bash -> [Double Attack]
- Sky daughter 12->13 Init, speed 4->5, Chain Lightning -> [Infernal Chain].
(Infernal Chain is like chain lightning without reduction per jump and no element. Requires a sacrifice to use, can be cast for free as long as you have 15 mana.)
- Executioner 14->15Att, 10->13Def, 8-12->9-13dmg.
- Chieftain order no longer hurts allies and won't remove blind.
- Executioners [Immune to Puppet].
- Foul Wyvern 10->12 Init, Venom 5x->10x, Regeneration 30-40->40-60Hp.
- Paokai Lightning Breath->[Sweep Attack 50%].
(Because of Lightning Breath retaliation bug)
- Evil eye -3->-2 luck.
- Untamed Crushing Blow 100->50% stun, +50% chance.
- Cyclopes [Immune to Puppet], Range Penalty, +[No Range Penalty].
(50% dmg at all ranges instead of 25% far, 50% close)

Tldr, upgrades are more or less balanced with each other, spells are more spellpower-based and advanced abilities are easier and more intuitive to get due to simplified requirements. Typically a game takes 5-10 mins to build your hero and 5-20 mins for the battle, enjoy
Anyone interested in a friendly game feel free to message me.

Guess if I am going to build a proper tournament mode into the game, I should take a look.
What H5 version is required to run the map as intended?

The latest, tribes of the east 3.1.
I will be happy if the map gives you any ideas Regular duels just do not cut it, they lack the element of choice. No random artifacts, no random spells, static builds.. There are no surprises to be had when every game should be different!

I never practically enforced that, in official tournaments I simply put this in the rules. But I just noticed that one can delete a skill and it won't appear in level ups so maybe there is a way to cap artificer to advanced. In the next version abilities with no combat application like estates will be removed. Ofc this only applies to basic abilities that do not unlock advanced ones.
EDIT:
You are right, I must have added it accidentally.

New version uploaded, now mass spells have a 4x4 area of effect Far more balanced considering they cost half a hero's initiative.
Also useless abilities pruned.
Anyone knows if it is possible to improve the first aid healing or plague tent? Plague tent in particular is pointless to pick, triple ballista does a much better job.
I also didn't find a way to remove expert artificer. Any help appreciated.

Thanks I have, I just didn't make a full list of deleted skills. More improvements to come.
Btw this map is meant for playing with a human player in lan(I use gameranger myself) or hotseat. If you want to test by yourself I recommend hotseat and controlling both sides. Have fun!
