What town suits me best?
Hey. I playing homm3 for like 1 month already and I can't seem to choose a favorite town for myself. Every town has something I like and something that I dont like so it's really hard to choose.
I like a town with strong hand-to-hand units. I dont really care about archers and flyers alot.
I usually play XL maps because of a large number of space and enemies.
I have read alot of post. Some say good things about some town, others say bad.
Can anyone explain the main differences between towns (I didn't understand nothing from homm3 wiki  )?
So the main thing I'm interested in are a very strong hand-to-hand units.

I think Inferno and Castle are the best choices if you want strong hand-to-hand combat fighters.
And maybe Stronghold but they are more focussed on ranged shooters.

But inferno seems to be too weak as far as I know. ArchDevil is horrible ....

Strong H2H, you'd probably want Castle, but if you want something that's not so blah, Fortress or Stronghold would probably fit.

Try necro. Skeletons, Dread knights and vampire lords sound like a good h2h army. Plus it is a great town for xl maps and it's cheap in resources.

(In response to your sig, Necro is banned cuz skellies are IMBA. )
But Fortress and Stronghold are cheaper.
Necropolis has rather mediocre H2H, it's the skellies numbers that do it. Although the Dread Knight is excellent, and Vampire Lords are nigh-unstoppable.

What does IMBA mean?
What is so special about Fortress? I thought they are one of the weakest teams?
I tryed out stronghold now. It seems they only have ancient behemots + Lightning Birds (forgot the name ;D). They have 2 archers though.
Althought I like Vampire Lord and Dreadknights...
Btw, what do you think about rampat and dungeon?

Hi Klazier, welcome to this forum.
If u read a few pages back here in the library, u will find many threads about all towns, their strength and weaknesses. This is much more usefull then some 1- or 2-liners which may not be too informative.
And u really should play all towns for a bit to be able to discover their strengths.
Never underestimate Stronghold....they can have Behemots day TWO!...no other town can have a level 7 unit that early..

inferno has good hand to hand combat. the cerberi can attack more than one unit at once and have no retaliation. demons are not bad hand to hand. devils have no retalition too, and pit lords do a lot of damage. efreet are excellent hand to hand, fireshield for the sultans helps a lot. units will think twice before attacking the efreet sultans

But it simply doesn't matter when there's just too many skellies to fight. And IMBA means imbalanced. Also, Fortress has fairly fast scouts as well with flies, but overall, yes, they are slightly weaker then the other towns.(but still my favorite- I <3 Fortress.) Creatures have some great abilities, though,(death gaze) and Tazar is awesome.

i think surprisingly inferno with demon farmin(given enough time) can be almost the best hand to hand town in h3. This is keeping in mid 1-3 lvls r sacrificed. That means they will have 2 dangerous flyers and 2-3 deadly hand to hand units. I remember playin a game vs maretti and he came with about 180 or 200 demons, 14 ad's and a host of other things, and my 20 aa's were made to look like pike men lol

But look for devils and angel stats. Devils have very small Chances with the same group of angels.
For me best towns are Dungeon and tower, because they have got big number of Archers and flying units. The worst are Conflux and Fortess, because, despite that Confux have big number of archers and flyares, they`re weak (Not counting psychic and magic elementals)

*Laughs hysterically at Conflux being called weak*
hahaha...cough....cough...okay. Conflux is perhaps the most broken town in the game. It's level 1 is good, levels 2-3 are amazing, amittedly level 4-5 are crap, but level 6 and especially level 7 are extremely powerful, due to the numbers of the Phoenixes. Also, everything has some kind of immunity. And their Grail building gives them all spells. Also, I would agree that Tower is overall stronger then Fortress creature-wise, but Tower is much more expensive. Too expensive, in fact. Those creatures don't help you if you can't afford them.
(Also, keep in mind that lots of archers is not necessarily a good thing, as they all need units to guard them. Tower would have too many to guard if Titan wasn't capable of taking care of itself.)

with mass slow and enough patience, 1 devil can kill for example 300 dentroid soldirers, while with 1 angel this task can never be done.
The most important thing is each and every town with the right stretegy can be menecin than the other. Fotress for example, the chaos goes without sayin, wav powerstack(with hives) and gorons to tear apart any lv7, is menacing. This is just one example and advantage of ftoress, other town takes similar menacing roles.
So bottom line is each and every town is powerful, it all comes down to how u would play it.

The problem is, I know at least I'm not good enough to take 300 dendroid soldiers with a Devil. Although you can do it. It has problems when it comes to fights against people, though. Archangel just rips through archdevil. So do the big dragons and the Titan as well.

not really, if i recall right, ad's have more attack and def, and on one to one is better than almost all other units except aa's.
But were r questioning the best hand to hand towns, not single units.

((Not really, and the damage and HP let it down. But this particular argument belongs in the best level 7 creature thread.))
Again, I would say for H2H, Stronghold and Fortress. Not only do they have good H2H, if you're looking to take that all the way, they don't even have great magic, which lends even more to the combat reliance.

It can exaggerate a bit, but :
1lvl. terrible
2. good
3. very slow, only upg. is good
4. good, but not enought hp.
5.Inept
6. very good
7. VEry weak, not enought hp and very low defense
