The liches are the towns only shooters, and they don't function well at this role. They are weak, have relatively low skills and HP, and the death cloud ability, as good as it may be against living creatures it is not enough.


Power Liches are not weak. 40 HP is good for 5.th level shooters. e.g Zealots are 5.th level creature but have 30 HP. Grand Elves 15, Marksmen 10. Anyway all shooters have low hp than foot soldiers. This is normal.

Titans got 300 hp which is more than what some melee lv 7s have and Power Liches are not all bad, it's just that they aren't that good. They have low HP, hand to hand penalty, death cloud seldomly becomes useful and on top of this a pretty high price.

HP means nothing for shooters when you can so easily forgetfulness or blind them. On the other side, titans and liches, you will feel it.

If Power Liches are weak, why Necropolis banned in multiplayer games? Necropolis looks like below average town if Power Liches are weak.

Because of the Necromancy Skill, Vampire Lords, Dread Knights, Skeleton Transformer, the nature of Undead monsters (immune to blind, berserk etc), cannot have negative morale (and good morale, but when cleaning the map morale artifacts are rare not to mention negative morale has the double % chance to occur).
Animate Dead is even more powerful than resurrection since you do not need expert earth magic for the resurrected troops to remain, it is lv 3 and can also be gained via Thant.
Split-Wraith-Drain tactic is obnoxious for a enemy caster, cleaved-aging tactic with GDs.

I really wonder what is your town rating? (including Necropolis and Conflux)

I always belive no need banned Necropolis. Not overpowered town.

Don't snicker guys, but I did not know this.  How exactly do you convert other dragons/hydras into ghost dragons?

I never understood why Mirth, Resurrection and Sacrifice can appear in Necropolis' Mage Guild, as those spells are completely useless to them.

Maybe because if someone desabled TP you need to spend a week transporting those green dragons to the next Skeleton Transformer...

@LizardWarrior Yeah I guess it's because of Wyverns and Angels.
Animate Dead makes sense to me, but Resurrection does'nt. You won't find Animate Dead at Castle either...

@bloodsucker What does Green Dragons and TP have to do with anything?

Yes i hate see to Mirth, Resurrection and Sacrifice in Necro Mage Guild. Necropolis could be more funny if they have morale.

Undead nature plus the ability to gain positive morale - sounds balanced!

Although I'm better on Heroes 2 theorycrafting than on Heroes 3 (when I used to see frank then nowadays maretti playing i feel like a noob)
I would say your list is considering no rules and XL format right?

On XL a high level player will be so efficient at skellies farming Necro is almost as strong as conflux.
Tower with level 5 mage guild, Titans, dimensions doors and full gold is just extremely strong.
Inferno sucks until you optimize your demon farming potential on XL map, then it becomes unstoppable by lower factions. Also Efreet and to some extents ArchDevil are good.
Stronghold is good all around on small/ big map / low / high resources, very complete faction with the second strongest lvl7 (AB)
Dungeon is another super solid faction, with no real weaknesses..
Fortress while not weak, doesn't shine particularly on L/XL map and even when you manage to capture fast second town, you are still handicapped by your first town dwelling/ faction traits

The only reason conflux is on top is because a rush will eliminate Necro during W2/Early W3. After that the skeletons will be out of control.
Dungeon got its weaknesses, but it is a balanced town. Has a few disadvantages vs the map though.
Fortress could use a little boost but I have tried it a couple of times and it works pretty good.

Conflux: Best town i think. Has a lot of advantage; The fastest town in the game, not expensive, 2.nd most hp per week. 4 gold speciality hero, good native terrain, Easy clean to maps with low level troops, best grail. Water magic is essential i think.


Dungeon is very map depends. Dungeon has statistically has worst damage potantial and worst HP till Black Dragons. Dungeon army isn't ready to battle without Black Dragons.

Tower and Inferno are weak towns.

Dungeon is very map depends. Dungeon has statistically has worst damage potantial and worst HP till Black Dragons. Dungeon army isn't ready to battle without Black Dragons.

Anil please, enough trolling and if you are not trolling, may I ask where you are from so I can at least get a hang on what culture you embrace so I can try a different approach?

Dungeon is one of the best towns pre 7th dwell because the two shooters and high damage of minotaurs/troglodytes combined with the baiting of harpies is very powerful. They have -1 speed but they are still good. The downside imo is the dependance of the lv 2 dwell to be pre built and the annoying 7th dwelling fights.

Tower and Inferno - I trust I have cowered these enough?
