Don't worry, instead of covering every hero (which would be complex and complicated), I will put a mention before my other post that some heroes changes the lists. Trying to avoid mentioning specific heroes.
Though it is harder, and more expensive hp wise (and mana wise), any other tier 7 (with exception of Titan? I should know this, but I can not remember) can be ressurrected. Will put a little caveat about the raise dead aspect, however.
I will include an exception for absolute luck. Mistake of taken that for a given. New players indeed might not realise this.
As for adaptability, there may be another town that gives Academy a run for it's money. Stronghold. They can adapt to just about any town, and even the playing field if nothing else. Dark is still an issue for them, however.

So strong spell casters should be included in The Good section?

She doesn't count Teleporters as Flyers (but then again I have allready explained that they are the same technically and gameplaywise... well except for the point Elvin mentioned :it's definetly cooler )

Shush, I fixed it. Oh and coming soon, with luck and maybe some help...Individual hero assessments, building assessments, creeping assessments. Though I may just go with general hero assessments depending.

I think ultimates should NOT be included in the good/bad points of factions. Why? Because in a normal multiplayer game you won't be able to reach them, since you'll probably get flooded with junk skills. If you don't believe it, give it a try, and when you'll face navigation or shrug darkness (for instance) fourth time in a row, you'll realise what I'm talking about. Because they're sooo unreliable, it's not worth it.

Pinkspear's got a point. Since the Ultimate does involve the hero directly, it should go with hero assessments.

Another bad thing I noticed about some factions, is that they're becoming more and more boring to play with after a period of time. I played with dungeon and haven so far, but lately switched to inferno, necro and orcs (and going to academy) because post-Tote these factions offer me great variety (with upgrades, spells and how they adapt to different maps), and therefore, more fun. I've just become tired rushing 100% of time with dungeon...

Yes I've tried it. Let me tell you that it especially hurts archdemons that have a kinda low speed and initiative..

The point was (and is) for people to post there concept of what is good and bad about the towns as they see it. It was meant as a debate/new player quick glance guide. So they can get the general gist of what problems they might encounter with the towns. Currently, nobody else has given their own perspective on all the towns (though bits and pieces of other towns) yet however. Though eventually this will be lost (like so many other tidbits new players can look at). I am still working on things to add, like total building expense, creature expense, and the generic heroes of the towns.
As for ultimates, it may be better for it to be under the heroes section. As for certain heroes not being able to have it, if a Memory Mentor is in a map this changes. Some heroes are even better off not getting it at all.
