blood rage seems to absorb plain anything, including hero attacks. The only thing I don't know about yet is Plauge Tent, but I bet it does absorb that, too...

I have a question
blood drinker - does its bonus last only during the battle or do you grow stronger after every creep on the adv map (if that's the case than it's overpowered)

Wrong topic.. The fact that the discussion took another turn for a while does not mean you can continue doing that.

I on the other hand saw the answer somewhere but I forget It's for the current battle, it does not stack.

I think the Academy just became the best destruction magic town. MotW + WL + Marble Garg + 50% damage increasing arty, destroys the competition. One word though, Imagine an Warlock capturing a Wizard town and making use of those Gargs
As for their creatures. They don't screem power, they scream strategy. Both the Golem and the Gargoyle have very specific uses outside of straight combat. The Sabateur, assuming it can sabatoge every turn, can effectively destroy Deleb, or indefinetely delay a siege. Visiers last longer (yes thats their major upgrade), and the Kshatri has that juicy, but sometimes useless, hydra attack. The Titan doesn't seem like a big, or even small difference however.
Do we know what Eldritch aura is yet?

I would kill to find out what that is (not actualy kill ), because the battle mage seems even weaker than it's alternative (has -1 HP,no mana and the same damage;at least if they increased its damage by one point).
Edit: But of course I end up out off topic again..sorry Elvin

Their magic attack or other battle mages'(I mean the ranged attack that hits all in line) cannot harm their adjacent units. So he can shoot through them and be well protected,

When I played the demo I used Urghat as my secondary hero. Gotai crept by himself until level 15 something, then I passed some of the army to Urghat, and bam! With that decent army and her logistics she quickly-madly cleansed the uncharted areas very fast (with warpath+snatch), quickly levelling herself up to Gotai my main hero.
On a campaign I guess she's a must-hired.

But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it.

she's worse than Grok and Rutger unless there is a lot of heavy terrain around, but among the orcs, she's second to none for that matter. But every hero can get Warpath and Snatch, and barbarians have an easy time getting logistics, too. Loved Snatch in the final orc mission since it makes crossing water that much easier.
Still Urghat is my favorite squire, with Kilghan being my favorite town guard. Free goblin trappers, whee .

Yeah love the fact that he starts with many goblins which was not the case in the demo Leadership has good perks but the pounder remains my favourite so far.

Id say that best starting heroes are guy with war machines and centaur leader. Ballista + flaming arrows rox da haus and centaurs are awesome alone and with commander they are ridiculous. I dont really like rest. Logistic guy isnt bad but hes got pathfinding which will mess up your skill chices unless you take 2 very weak abilities that are opened with pathfinding. I was very curious about that pounder guy but he turned out to be a disaster after i found out that i can cast 1k dmg warcry instead of hitting with melee attack.

Yeah horde's anger is great to have But it depends on your army's strength and mana is limited. Later you can use it with powerful attack, it's just half initiative.

Fear My Roar is far better than Horde's Anger, in my opinion. Horde's Anger is great against incorporal enemies, though. Or the usual suspects that are immune to fear (undeads, elementals and undead).

In my current game I started with the war machine guy. The ballista is a nice bonus, but what really helps is the first aid tent! The damage reduction you get from rage is HUGE if the creatures have enough rage points, because of that I also think that Memory of our Blood is a very important ability, the special building in town also helps. So with such high reductions you lose small amounts of hit point that can be healed easily by the tent. Of course every race benefits from war machines early, but I think the tent is particularly helpful for the orcs.
I haven't got Flaming Arrows (yet!) since I focused on primary skills, but if I do I'll sure show those enemy cyclops/wyverns

Flaming balista is ridiculous to a point of being overpowered. It cuts through lvl 7s like through butter(or anything else)
