As for necro in heroes 3 I believe there was a combo artifact that allowed you to make liches or archliches depending what was in your army and as long as you had expert nerco.well from what I can see oin heroes 5 they have given up on combo artifacts so the best you can do is skeleton archers so the nerco's have been tamed down buy a lot compared to were it was going.so the nercromancers will always out do every body by sheer numbers alone.thats just my thoughts.

It's either Haven or Necropolis and I'm no sure about necropolis after recent super nerfs to raise dead and vlad. I can't believe there is a poll for this!

did everyone forget about the necro towns ability to transform living monsters into dead ones.so all you have to do is find two or three pesant's houses recruit them and turn them into skeletons then upgrade them to archers.so you will end up with 60+ skeleton archers a week.so theres another way that necro would out do the haven town every week.

It's not as if you could get ALL the arties in EVERY map.It only happened on large+ maps and never on random maps so it was no big deal.H3 was full of imba artifacts but I miss them nontheless

Lol, but on the flip-side, the haven hero could flag those houses and end up with "potentially" 60+ marksmen per week. Marksmen still kick the crap outta skellies, so Haven is still more powerful.

Actually, academy is very strong in 1.3. The new resource demands are not as taxing on the wizards as they are on most other factions (haven still gets babied  ). Dungeon is potent, but really only magic-wise, which is very counterable. Their creature line still has low growth to balance out the faction. Inferno took a big hit, but they still have deleb, imps, cerberus, and nightmares so still contend. The poor sylvans must have access to huge amounts of wood now, which hurts them something fierce, though they still get a great creature lineup, just a harder time getting all the dwellings built. Necros will always be ok, so long as skeletons still upgrade to skeleton archers.
All in all, the game is ever so much better balanced. Haven still dominates, however unfortunat.

I do agree with the last post. Academy got stronger after 1.03. Wizards can finaly make good use of all they knowledge points (other faction will suffer from the costs of Destructive Magic). Titans are easier to build also.
Maybe I will even risck to play with Academy after all

Haven for me!
I always have loved that town even when it sucked (HOMM2, and HOMM4)
this time I think it really is the most powerful at least to me.
Conscripts aren't good but they can be made into marksmen which are.
Marksmen are really strong with that one guy doogall or some body
Squires protect others from arrows and have good defense
Royal Griffins can battle dive annoying archer units (SWOOSH!)
Inquisitors aren't my favorite but they aren't bad
Champs (nay nays) are probably one of my favorite units, fast powerful, and have a good bit of hp + lay hands is great!
Archangels are always good, Ressurection is a wonderful skill.
Training IMO is the best racial skill, and if haven gets alot of money the game is over because you can change peasant into freakin' cavaliers! (in theory though that would be alot o' cash)

Thread: vote for the strongest faction
Dungeon afcourse!I like dungeon in every 'Heroes'!Why,you'll ask.Well-here's 'why':
1Dungeon creatures were always the strongest.
2Dungeon spells were always the best.
3Dungeon heroes [in Heroes 5] have the coolest spell in their town-'conjure phoenix'.
And here is the only worst part of the Dungeon:
-Creatures are toooooooooo expensive!!!

They cost around as much as other factions' units, and aren't stronger than units of other factions (if so, their growth adjusts it back to balanced values), so I see no point of calling them superior. Conjure phoenix appears in necropolis and academy, and wizards make better use of it due to higher knowledge anyway.

Not my favorite fanction but Haven is simply the strongest of all. Haven is superior to other towns just because it dosent have real weakness againts any other fantion in the game.
Haven is only town what you can't never call a weak fanction.
