I thought the standard is completely different: small map=spellcaster, huge map = mighty dude.. o_O

No, because fighter heroes have at the beginning a good attack bonus
And spellcasters have only basic spells at the beginning
So the same problem as in all RPG
Spellcasters are weak at the beginning but strong at the end
An example My lich in MM9 was at level 111 and my fighters (gladiator+palladin) level 56-60...

LoL
Sorry to say dude, but u really should play some online games first before u make such statements.
On smaller maps, spellcasters are better, coz they cast magic arrows or lighning bolts which could kill your level 7 troops with 1 hit, but on larger maps, these spells won´t hurt u that much, coz your army is much bigger...and u (might hero) have learned some magic skills as well...and probably resistance, red orb...recanters...and after the first magic hit of the spellcaster, the might hero will probably cast expert haste or mass slow and crush your army to death with poor might....7 times in a row...and with moral perhaps 8 or 9 times....while you can cast a big spell only ONCE per round....try it..

I am currently playing a game where pretty much anything goes. We selected random heroes and I ended up with gunnar & my opponent has neela and solomyr. It looks like my opponent really wanted solomyr as his main... problem is, I now have the red orb He wanted to fight, just to see how he would do. So he attacked me, and I waited with my red dragons, so now it is his turn. There was a bit of a pause... probably from trying to cast chain lightning but finding out it isn't working.... then all of a sudden, I see "Bleep!!!" on the screen. Needless to say, his 8 knowledge and 8 spell power meant nothing in the battle... but his 2 att, and 4 def was nice for me to see

But U forget that there are more spells than just combat spells.
I know that chainlightning and the other stuffs don't work on greater armys,
But Spellcasting heroes can gain attack with artifacts and Arenas, and have more spellpoint to cast:
slow(or mass slow)
haste
ressurect(true)
paralyze
&other cookies
Or let me ask U something have U tryed the necromancer heroes on HIGh level????? cause they are more balanced and gain attack and spellcasting skills as well.

lol Some people here have been playing this game for 7 years. You coming here and telling us that necromancy is a good skill is really moot. Necropolis is already banned from most random templates, so what does that tell you?
About your magic might theory - no.
Might is better later on, it's already been explained.
The might hero has mass slow and/or haste too ok? You're not fighting a might hero with no spells lol.

Don't think I'm a beginner, I played Heroes for 10years
And please explain me why is it better to have on a small map where enemies are nearby to have a spellcaster hero with small ammaunt of mana???? After U used your mana it regenarates slow and wells aren't on every maps.
But a fighter hero on small map can always benefit from his attack advances, which is permanent not like spellpoints...
Besides I didn't mentioned necromancy, only the necromancer heroes, because they get attack and spellcasting bonuses.

You´re probably not a beginner playing against the comp, but for sure a beginner playing against good human players..

Perhaps we should make something clear here. On small maps (which are NOT played online normaly), u will meet your opponent in week 1. Your army won´t be that big to take advantage from your attack skill. But the spellcasters lightning bolt or meteor shower (Aislinn, Deemer, Jeddite) will hurt you a lot.

So do many other heroes classes....ever tried Gundula?..

thanx for your reply!
Well U convinced me abaut it...
But I have to say my strategy worked with HoMM2 against AI/Human opponents
True the 3rd part is more balanced and enables what U say.
thanx for the advice
AND FOR ALL WHO CRITIC ME; I PREFER FIGHTER HEROES NOT SPELLCASTERS!!!!!!
but sometimes U have to try new things tooooooooooooooo
