Just like the other factions. Level 1, 2 and, 3 for three first weeks of the first month of map play(a lot of the wizards Hero's support via destructive spells and Saboteurs shooting ability in respectable numbers).

Level 3 to 7 for the remainder of the maps continuous conquest(might approach of the most intense kind and, shooting abilities of the ArchMages and Storm Titans of the most devastating results to the enemy as possible). So, levels 1 to 2 are, now, in late game, cannon fodder/chargers absorbers. Might as well retrograde the Saboteurs to Master Gremlins in order to fix/rebuild the Steel/Magnetic Golems as they charge the enemy for the most devastating kill ever.

Hasting your Rakshasas is a very good idea. The Rajas will decapitate the enemy in no time flat, While the Storm Titans stay back and totally fry their enemies to absolute crisp.

Things are way simpler. Try saboteurs and gremlins till week 2 and colossi afterwards, that can clear everything with the right spells and/or ballista.
Storm titans and rakshasas LOL Yeah maybe after week 5 when you'll have defeated the opponent.

I guess that answers the question if anybody are stupid enough to still purchase Rakshasa Raja now that we have Rakshasa Kshatra.

It's not about stupidity, I'd still get them once in a while. Kshatras die faster because of retaliation and sometimes you'd rather they remain while your hero casts.

Hey patnaudeluc maybe you should post in my humiliating defeat thread I feel we have much to be taught from you

For the record it's not about agreeing with one's strategy or not but you can bet I have a problem with people who bs intentionally.

Me BS? No Way!

As a reminder: If you do not win within the two first months of any sized maps of Heroes 5 of any version, you lost totally and miserably.

So, having level 6 and 7 creatures is pure luck via some possible over stockpiling of both natural resources and gold.

Hint: No Castle by end of week 3 of the first month, you lost, period.

a friend lost a duel against me because he had a lots of rakshasa kshatra. I spammed the battlefield with blade barrier thanks to imbued arrows, and each time one stack of raka attacked, they broke 3 to 4 barrier and received heavy damages.

Which dwelling should be constructed first? - Djinn, Rakshasa, or Titan

Djinn, colossus then rakshasa seems to work for me. I rarely build the latter and only in long games, in shorter I am better off upgrading the mage guild. There will be an ore shortage assuming you find the gems.

Still the DJINNs and COLOSSI are EX-PEN-SIVE

I allways pick the gold bonus when playing academy (is that wise ?)

I would cocentrate on archmagi, good att and def , average hp, and awesome spells (my favourite ally and my most feared enemy)

And then those seas of gemsand ore you need to get a powerfull army

It is sad though that Academy doesnt have any heroes that produce rare resources (really use full in their case), so youre allmost forced to go for leaderschip and choose the estates feat

Spoils of War, Estates and resourcefullness are essential to the strategy or wizards.

you need spells not creatures so concentrate on getting high lvl mage guild and library and then chose the spell schools according to that.

gold bonus as it gold from chests? i'd say its better to get exp, you'll be killing things with fire trap and the like not with gremlins and gargoyles so you need to get high lvl fast

I tend to skip the Djinns and go straight for the colossi. What dwellings do you build in the start? I go for Upg. Gremlins, then mage dwelling, golems then gargoyles. But of course having a priority towards mage guild and library if i can.

use fire trap, blade barrier, move the gargoyles in front of them to stop large creatures from charging/blocking them, there are lots of ways to protect them
