That's surprising, how can necro survive a warlock using sorcery + mark + warlock's luck? Even a destructive academy can beat necro silly, unless we are talking a huge army. But too long games normally do not exist in multiplayer, battles usually happening within week 4-6.
was my idea initially, but in practice, you will rarely be able to set it all up properly in such a short timeframe , even if all random pop-ups are exactly right, you will not have enough knowledge. The mana costs are enormous especially since many spells got more expensive in RC6.
I am aware however , energy channel is still an issue and needs to be replaced with mana feed, unless deflaktor can fix it.

I recall the tactic was not properly countered with shatter destructive because the skill was underpowered and the dmg loss below expert level was too small, both of these issues should now be fixed.

Well...You will soon see how OP the Wizards are.
So, no matter how rebalanced the wizards' units and hero skills are done, that faction always gets to be OP. Main reason, a very good Academy player will, still, find a newer way to literally overwhelm any other factions.
In the case of the Necros., their innate weakness to light, water and, air spells will always seal their fate to absolute ridicule of losses against a very strong spell-casting hero such as the Wizard one + their elite and champion units with get to guarantee such doom in a true biblical sense of the word(doom). Moreover, the Necros. are the true embodiment of the purest form of evil, ever. Every thing that encompass the environmental surroundings of true animal life will eventually win over the dead that refuses to remain dead(undead).
Even the Dark-Elves of the dungeon faction will, inadvertantly, end up using life bound spells to make the most of the undead's innate weakness(real living flesh and blood). That is also the reason behind the use of the heal spell against the undead in Heroes VII.

I like ballista skill.
Is there way to make it 4-5 shoot? Add some kind of spells to it? Decrease luckmorale attacked unit?
I find medic hut skill a bit weak, it does maximum damage of 150 if I remember correctly. It'd be nice to add more random spells when machinery is being used.
Archers in Haven have removed long shot (or whatever it is called, no penalty for distance). IMHO they are useless now.

I have also been rethinking the no range penalty on crossbowman, it seems great but there are actually various problems with the current haven t2 setup:
-role of crossbowmen is strictly early creeping with light magic heroes, if you find the unicorn hornbow later, crossbowmen are completely pointless and have nothing to offer.
-wide dmg gap of 2-8 doesn't synergize with red heroes at all since they don't specialize in light magic
-scatter shot+precise shot is OP, so I had to cripple precise shot back to 3 tiles to make it hardly relevant, waste of ability.
I think better solution:
Remove no range penalty and boost dmg by 20%: 4-8 + no light magic dependency.
move precise shot to crossbowman and extent the range

A good starting point is that 2-8 dmg with no range penalty is op. Either the full range has to go or dmg should be reduced. I chose thelatter to keep the original gameplay and gave force arrow to marksmen for the 30% defense reduction. Works fine as an extension of precise shot(30% from afar, 100% from up close) but it has the side-effect of knocking back enemies on occasion.. It is not easy to reconcile a point blank focus with a distant range focus. I doubt they can be accurately balanced just by tweaking the original abilities since they are too different to evaluate in practice.
Alternatively.. crossbowman exchanges no range penalty with force arrow and marksman keeps precise shot. That way you compare a general 30% reduction plus knockback with a 100% close range reduction. That should work too. I'd change precise shot range to 4 though, to make it more usable.

Ah, that reminds me: the description of Crossbowmans says 'Range: full' Just a minor one

Another typo on Sorcery page "Arcane Brillance" should be "Arcane Brilliance"
P.S.
Magno, while arranging classes I found out something.
Barbarians have the same class tree but when I noticed their second secondary skill (the one after bloodrage) is not mentioned in the table.
It seems that they either have access more skills than other heroes or some of the shatters are replaced by the skills.
For example, what is the chance to get shouting or enlightenment?
How do they fit in the table?

ok, so this is what I've come up with for presenting race/classes with heroes incl. a little bit longer video (per race/fraction), with primary skill on top and heroes spec. below.
video is showing only one race/fraction = fortress.
I still don't have a clean logo of mmh5.5, and don't have a clue how the starting screen with legal rights (ubisoft, nival etc.) should look/state.

Can someone explain me difference between hard and heroic difficulty or link me post if someone already did? I have a feel that "hard" is too way easy and "heroic" much much more difficult...

I noticed and mentioned this way back at the end of page 109.
It seems, from that infograph that only Chieftain gets Shout and only Veteran gets Enlightenment.
Magno's response was: "@ThGryps: stronghold cannot have real classes, hardcoded issue, same for avenger skill."
