I think that there's not a best hero: it depends on situations:
At beginning, especially in Impossible level, an hero producing golds or resources is quite useful!! (to develop quickly the castle/ buy troops).
At advanced games heroes with spells, secondary skills emphasized are very useful.
Might or magic heroes are eligible in function of type of maps and the choice dependes from each own style of combat!

Best Hero
I haven't played that game in ages, but I remember that the heroes that started out with things like additional units or estates came in handy, those would be the best heroes, but the coolest by far is Sandro.

Quote: Sir Mullich, Gunnar, Craig Hack, Tazar seam like a natural choices for the best hero.
But my personal favourite is rampart's Ryland. He starts with leadership and diplomacy which is most of the time huge advatage. And his Dendroids specialty makes Dendroids from already great creatures to an unbeatable defenders.
He also gets earth, logistics, air and other great skills really often.
Ryland can be more fun than any other hero. Leadership goes so well with diplomacy, and yes he'll often get expert Earth and expert logistics, so he can TP to a new area and help clear it out, and then TP back to civilization and drop off extra armies.
The armies that join for free can be given to scouts, who then become major map-clearers on their own -- and they get to fight with strange combinations! (80 sharpshooters and 14 wyverns; 143 Harpy Hags and 110 Cerberi; 78 Zealots and 125 wolf raiders). And you have cities defended by 81 gold golems and 14 ghost dragons and 156 Gogs :-)
They won't let you use diplo online, though :-(

Fortress: Bron(4-7 Bassilisks at the start)
Stronghold: Tyraxor(Wolf Raiders, have fun)
Conflux: Monere or Pasis(Strange choice, but tough)

It's obvious everyone has his/her favorite.
BUT I don't think there is a best Hero.
Every one of them has a strength,
but certainly also one or more weaknesses.
Therefore, I think there is a best Hero for every player,
but not a best Hero in general.
The best Hero is determined by the players style,
and therefore is diferent every time,
since no-one plays exactly the same.

I've never played a map with Geon.
I feel he is to unbalanced.
When playing the Dungeon,
I ussually choose Dace or Jedite.
Astral on thee other hand,
next to Theodorus he is the first hero I hire when playing the Tower.
I think he is a good hero, when used right.
His speciality is not so great at first,
but that's why you should build his Spell Power,
before doing anything else with him.
It has alwayd worked for me.

#1 - Adela or Ryland. Divert all questions about them to their army of 100AAs and 200 behemoths.
Diplo not allowed?
#2 - Galthran. Skeleton Specialty. necro + armorer skills. 60-100 6 speed skeletons on day 1 (on dirt). Very good skills, very often earth or log will be your 3-rd or 4-th skills. Very easy early topes. And legions of skeletons with increased speed and att/def are just unbeatable, and if you manage to get the clone spell, well... you get the idea.
Necro not allowed?
#3 - Gunnar. Log specialty. log + tactics skills. Very good skills, he gets earth magic, offense and defense quite often. Hard to beat an enemy who moves so much faster than you do. He is best when he's playing for a town other than his native one (don't flame me, but I just don't like Dungeon).
Log not allowed?
#4 - Hack. Offense specialty. Advanced offence. 4/0/1/1 starting skill with 55% chance to gain offense each level up. Hack them up before they get a chance to retaliate.

Russ u should post more often. I couldnt agree more with ur last post here and I believe ur posts allways have high quality.
Just a suggestion: I remember once in the zone u described the typical developement in an allied game where some experienced players starts a game with a noob. U could repeat it in a post.

Thanks, man! As for the noob description - I think I remember that time - I tried playing like 3 noobs in a row that day (I was really bored), and all 3 followed that same pattern I described
Anyways, here it goes:
noob: joins a room that says "2v2", says "gogogogo!!!" (while you and him are the only people in there).
me: points out that fact...
noob: start, gogogogo!!!
me: launches the game...
noob (if he actually makes it into the game): 2 mins, I move fast! (while choosing Inferno and a heretic hero).
me: are you sure about your choice?
noob: yes, just watch, I very good, I kick you ass
me: starts the game...
noob: finishes his turn in 20 secs (he was honest about moving fast, I guess).
me: builds, hires army, moves scouts (1-2 mins)
noob: move faster!!!
me: kills a couple of small critters with the main (1-2 mins)
noob: what is taking so long? you slow!!!
me: attacks full crypt...
<SYSTEM>: n00bn@m3_345 has left the game.
me: gets boots of speed from the crypt with almost no losses. gets earth magic after the fight. moves a few more steps. sees a tope and a level 7 dwell... sighs, takes one last look at the tope and the dwell... wonders why he never gets those in real games... quits the game...

Picking a BEST hero is a little tricky since (most often)
where you're on the zone there are many good heroes that are eliminated right away with some of the more common online rules...
so you'd eliminate anyone with a 4rth level spell
anyone with logistics
anyone with diplo
(and I may be missing some)
When Conan and I would play our XL HUGE magic games (necro vs Tower) my favorite hero was always Solmyr.
(If memory serves me correctly his was Sandro but im not sure...)
with all of the online rules, I coudn't really pick a best hero.
( I think someone made a list of all the main heroes that are eliminated due to the rules )
.... man there's a lot of poster's in this thread that are open to get blasted by any VET that would argue the worth of a MIGHT hero over a MAGIC one!!
(might have to revamp "noob tourney")
