Dark elf cheesiness aside, it was a fun faction to play. You had to pay very close attention to your limited mana and how fast your units or the opponent's units are dying. Better yet you were forced to join the fray and take down as many enemy units as possible, instead of staying back and casting like crazy. That was a brilliant design that led to many close games

I used to hire Dungeon heroes, but not to play with dungeon town. ^^ The spellcasting was interesting.

Now that I think of it, H7 is not clear if hiring another faction hero, different from your own, will be of much advantage. It feels like, and I can be totally wrong, if you are not a haven hero, it's a waste having another faction hero leading haven troops, or completely unproductive, little to no advantage.

To be honest, i was splited beetwen Inferno and Sylvan, mainly because both have great early game + Inferno with their gates is kinda broken + the ability of mind control one of your creatures with sucubusses is really frustrating. On the other hand, sylvan is annoying as well, they have great early game with hunters, druids and sprites as well. Plus they have strong late game as well with emerald dragons, high druids, hunters and treants. So it was tough decision to me, but i have chosen inferno, mainly because sylvan abilities are pure luck based comparing to those from inferno + inferno have more spells that can deal high damage...

Visually...Academy was a train wreck. The titans were the worst thing I could have ever imagined them looking like . The djinns and their giant hands...The gargoyles The only units that looked good were the rakasha.

Play wise...Fortress. Just boring, only one flier with a crappy tier 4 and I was not a fan of the runes. They were also terrible to look at .

Big fan of fortress just like the looks play style was a big bad.
No no no Academy was meant ot look stupid look at their campaign heroes they are all nuters
worst fav is probably  inferno as I was never keen on them. was hard I found to get a might and magic balance on them was hard. I mean my haven hero gets a better might and magic balance and they are meant for might!
Love heaven even since I played Hof I was wanting to play their red troops they were just so much better and when I got tote the skills were even better

Worst faction? I don't know, I kinnda like all of them, they all have something special in it. But if I had to choose, I guess Conflux, because it feels a bit odd among others. Probably because it is basically an elemental faction. And does not have much lore about it. And was chosen due to Forge accident.

Eh, just noticed this applies to Ashan factions only. Then I don't know, hard to tell.

I think I would agree here. I've never really liked the Wizard/Academy factions since their introduction in the second Heroes of Might and Magic, but the fifth game is definitely when they're at their worst.
The titans stick out to me the most. There's something about their design that makes me feel like they belong in a circus.

Appearances aside, I find their units uninteresting, and therefore find playing as them boring. The artifact creation doesn't make it any better.

If they didn't exist, Fortress would probably be on my list. I'm not really fond of dwarves, and I find them to be imbalanced.
