I think in game, these are counter parts of each fraction, At level 8+
1. Wizards are countered best by barbarians , Because of their magic resistance.
2. Barbarians are countered best by Elves, as barbarians are basically mele fraction and elves are ranged, but elites enhances the mele part of elves at 8.
3. Elves are countered best by Knights, as their Guardians got resistance to ranged, and good at mele defense and attack si good too, for elites.
4. Knights are best encountered by Dark Elves, as they don't have any ranged attacker, but the poisoners are good in poisoning, and shrews and with no retal are great.
5. Dark elves are best encountered by Necro, as vamps can recharge themself, and its not easy to hit ghosts, also at the top necros can raise.
6. Necros are best encountered by Demons, everyone knows, they have some many stacks and they can reduce the mana reserve, which reduces necro power pretty much.
7. Demons are best countered by elves (again), as fks are good at killing multiple stacks.
Did I missed something? |
| 2. is wrong in my experience, because orcs usually move before elves and can reduce the ranged potential of elves quite a lot, and wolves eat elite forest keepers for breakfast. I'd say barbarians are best countered by crossbowmen heavy knights, because their ranged units (cross and monks) easily outlast orcs. |
7.
I've seen demons beat elves...and elves beat demons. The EFK battle dance doesn't come into play as much as you would think; Experienced players aren't stupid. ;)
It really comes down to how much luck, and when the luck falls. |
| sooooo...wizards aren't good for fighting anything? :P |
| I think wizard can beat knights and elves probably- maybe others too. |
How about this:
Neutral monsters are bester countered by wizards.
lv 7+ wizards level mad fast with the mq quest and hunts. |
| Im an elf and I usually lose to Barbarian but have yet lost to a knight |
| Nevermind i forgot I'm not level 8+ :p |
| I would say a wizard kills necro, wizards have good spellpower and mana, so ghost wont be much of a problem. magi can kill the skeletal bowman or vampire, and in my experience, gargoylees hit ghost very well... |
In my expirience elf can beat a barb only if the elf is wearing a load of ini artifacts (so that elfbows shoot before orcs) otherwise the "shooting" duel is lost and the onl thing left for elf is praying to random ;)
As for wisards, according to the last minor tournament on .ru they rule on all levels from 5 to 12 |
I am not agreed on 'Wolf eat elites as breakfast', because
1. Elites are faster then wolfs.
2. Elites have more speed, so they can attack when wolfs are trying to reach there.
3. Wolfs are large creatures, if the landscape has some hurdles, they can't move so freely.
And yes, there is a point, that orcs would eat more then 50% of bowmen in first turn. But the stoneskin is good, one more thing, druids can also do good ranged damage, if they are in big stacks. |
In my opinion:
Wizards and Necromancers are weak vs Demons.
Demons are weak vs all other factions.
Elves are the strongest faction at low levels, but they are the weakest faction in 8+ levels (Critical hit is absolutely useless when Elf can choose only 1 type of favorite monster from 7).
Necromancers are very powerful when they wear 2 Rings of doubts. |
| Well wolf raider will eat anything without retail.. |
13:
and just about anything that only kills half of them with retal. wolf raiders are crazy. |
