The list gets an update for the Factory, Cove and all the balance changes in Horn of the Abyss. Come along and chill with me once more!! Watch the original list here: • Heroes 3 Creatures Tie...
One cool thing about Olgoi is that their corpse devour ability stacks. So you can actually devour multiple corpses (across turns) and then attack with 3+ attacks. Kind of hard to use but when it works out it really packs a punch. I got hit by 4x attacks on one turn once in a PvP match and it was devastating.
Heat stroke has unlimited uses but requires Dreadnoughts to remain in place. It also has no retaliation. You also got the Nix ability wrong: they ignore enemies Attack stat, similar to how Behemoths ignore enemies Defence stat. This means Nixes essentially have higher defense stat by 30 / 60% of enemies' attack stat. Edit: You also forgot Haspid's Revenge ability, which makes them deal more damage the more units were lost. As a result during a final battle with an opponent, a stack of Haspids at ½ their number deals almost as much damage as the full stack, making them particularly useful for these long final battles were both sides take significant losses Sprites also require Garden of Life now (although before 1.7.0 they required Magic Universiry which was a steep price) You must've got Phoenix growth slightly confused. Their base growth used to be 2 (4 with Castle), but now is 1 (2 with castle). This can be now increased to 3 with the Vault of ashes. So their max growth is 3, whereas it used to be 4. You also forgot about the Firebird nerf - they no longer are fire immune and instead take 50% less danage from fire spells, and therefore can be targeted by fire mind spells such as Blind or Berserk.
Hey Julius! Thanks for these. I didn't realise that with Dread/Jugger, might move the needle up a bit on them but I'd need more reps I think first. I must have explained Nixes wrong but I had them right in my brain I had meant to talk about Revenge but forgotten, my point was going to be that I don't really want it triggering, as per phoenix rebirth. With the conflux these are fair points, I had thought I was back getting 4 phoenix pw with the vault that makes me more bearish now
Just downloaded Heroes of Might and Magic III again, after something 20-years. Your video was the first thing I found to help me decide what faction to play! Thank you.
In Stronghold I would avoid Orges and cyclopsis. Reasons why BC the amount of Crystal needed and wood was enormous. I would go straight for thunderbird and behemoths as soon as I could. Later I find out from your video that Orges are pretty powerful. That kinda balances out the costs.
Hi good sir. I enjoyed the video, and you took your time to explain each unit in an effective way. I was excited to see where you ended up with the best unit in the game, the Vampire Lords, and they are bumped up from 7th to 4th place, still behind Grand Elf, Black Dragon, and Marksmen. This makes no sense to me, so wanted to dig your brain a bit again. To be able to get Black Dragons in your army, you must spend like crazy. Yes, they are super good, the best unit that can be bought from a castle, but they are so hard to get to and the growth numbers are poor. You need three levels of mage guild, you need to build the Pillar of Eyes, Chapel of Stilled Voices, Labyrinth, Manticore Lair, regular dragon cave, and then get the upgraded one to upgrade from red dragon to black dragon. That is an insane number of resources and gold, for three dragons pr week. The cost of one black dragon is 4000 gold and 2 Sulfur. This should result in the fact that you do not get many of them, and they are completely irrelevant for both early and mid-section of the game. This move the discussion to the next point I want to make. Grand elf stacks are great in initial stages of the game, and they are easy to get to and to clear lots of the fights within that stage of the game. But!! When you get past the initial stages and enter the mid to late stages of the game, the grand elf stack gets targeted first most of the time, and are destroyed by towers, magic and opposing heroes flying creatures. So, your top unit is only a top unit for first part of the game, and then are spent most of the times. That is my experience when I have played as Rampart in both original and HotA version of the game. They are so hard to keep alive and they are just not worth the mana and constant babysitting. Same goes for the Marksmen from Castle, they suffer the same way. My point is that with the Vampire Lords, you get a unit that are super useful in all stages of the game. If you play it correctly and places your Vamp Lords on one of the corner hexes of the map, where they can only be attacked by two units at the time. They will keep themselves alive with the life drain, and can kill dragons, titans, Ancient Behemoths etc. If you are skilled with magic and give the lords a doze of Counterstrike with expert air magic in skill, then the lords can be placed in the middle of battlefield, and they will retaliate over and over and life drain all day long. You just use it once and they take care of the rest for you. In early stage, you can easy clear a dragon utopia maxi size with like 35+ lords, and the benefit of reward back with gold and artifact make this a killer combo. Search in TH-cam for Vampire lords are OP and see Alex the magician (pro player) highlight just how powerful the lords are. Look forward to your comments back. I have started watching your Factory videos now, lots of fun and good entertainment!
Thanks Wolfman! Very thorough and reasonable logic there. I think there's a couple of differences in the games we probably play - I've spent most of my years in the game on L or XL impossible random maps where the hardest part of the game really revolves around those first and second key battles against the AI. So I probably weight elves and marksmen higher just due to their ability to punch through that most critical phase of the game for me. On a giant map, vs fewer opponents, with high starting resources or pvp, I think they would drop back quite a bit. All fair points on BDs! But I just can't help loving them so much. I think also to be honest I have not utilised the counterstrike combo to great effect all that often. Thanks again for the thoughts and contribution man - P
@@paulgoes5494 Well yes and no to your question about game play. I play PvP on JC and JO yes, but there Necro is nerfed by the fact that you always loose the bid round to be able to play as Necro because they are the best faction to play as. With the minus gold it is not so many resources and easy build path as is would be with the starting 10K gold. Necro and Dungeon is the top factions to play as, and if you roll one of those you will have to pay extra gold to be able to play as them, and Necro the most, because they are best faction. Skeleton horde and as many Vampire Lords as possible, and you are super strong and difficult to win over. As for single player, same as you play, I tend to play XL maps on impossible, random generated, with random heroes but I select the faction. I find stronghold and inferno as the weakest and where I’m worst at my game play. Stronghold is cheep and get good solid creatures fast, but Goblin, Wolf rider and Orc are “shitty” to play with. Ogre, roc, cyclops, and behemoth are great units, but with no gold and resources to start up, I always struggle to hold my grounds during week 3 or 4 when AI turn up. For inferno imps are just meat, and the gog are weak. The hounds are where I must rely in the initial stages. The best unit in inferno is the efreet sultan, and with HotA and the target hex, also the Magog is now a good creature. Devil is just too expensive to get. So, as you see, we play same game play and not same game play. I have found that Necro is the strongest faction when you use skeleton stacks and Vampire Lords. The rest of the units can wait, and just stack up, and be relevant when the gold and the resources are in place for it. Walking dead are poor creatures, they are super slow, and they do not deal damage in battle. I always just let them guard the town. Tomb of souls are also not a priority. Wraith is great to drain mana, but not much else. Lich is ok but get super strong and good with HotA and the target hex when they are upgraded to power lich. Black knights are ok, expensive and do not give my army what I need, so I tend to let them stack up and upgrade and use them when they turn to Dread Knight, who is a super, super powerful unit. The dragons I never bother with, its not worth the investment. So, I just use skeletons and the vampire lords for the critical point of game as you pointed out. With necro amplifier building and expert necro, the skeleton stack just grows and grows. I use one stacks of skeletons to block, kite, and take retaliation for big stack of skeletons. The Vampire lords fly and hit without retaliation, and can chill in corner hex of map, where they only can be targeted by two units at the time, the rest will go for one stacks of skeletons until the lords have killed one of the two attacking units. This play gives a small loss in skeletons pr fight, but an increase when necro skill have transformed and raised dead. The lord’s stack is without loss, because of the life drain they do. Multiple fights, and army grows and grows, exp go up and artifacts added to the hero. Mule hero take over the skeletons after ended fight, so main gets full speed (9) and max movement, and mule gives skeletons back to main after ended turn. This allows main to do more fights pr round and get more done. This is something I see in your videos that you do not utilize. F.ex when a hero is in a town to get troops the next day, and you plan to gallop out with him/her. You keep slow units on the hero when you end the turn. If you by one of the fastest units, just a one stack, and put the slower creatures in the garrison, then your hero movement is way better next day. The game calculates your hero’s movement at ended turn, so this will give you way more movement and allow you to cover more ground pr turn. I currently watch your factory gameplay and saw that Agar with the legs sits in the town with Armadillo on him, with speed 4. And there are centaurs with speed 6 in the town. A single click from hero to garrison, and armadillo will not count when ended turn. Just a friendly tip for a better and faster hero next turn. 😊
Thanks Wolfman! Yeah I spotted that too with Agar when I watched it back but I will definitely admit that I regularly forget to swap out the slow pokes before the end turn I am notorious for not thinking of it and then wondering why on earth my hero is so slow. Really interesting to hear your take on the necro there in detail! I too think that inferno and stronghold are the hardest to play in single player but I am looking forward to my next inferno run where I will be spamming those magogs - have not played inferno in HotA mode yet.
Putting Ancient Behemoths and Archangels on B tier along with the likes of Griffins and Pikemen is insane XD. And apparantly Magogs are better than Efreeti at A tier o,O. You play on Impossible friend?
Would you ever do stand alone videos for a group of creatures or spells break them down a bit further? Would be very entertaining to listen too on the side while doing something unrelated.
Hey Rage thanks for the idea, I'll have a think on it! I tend to worry that these videos are already too long as I'm rambling on for so long (eg the halflings here OMG would I ever get past them) but I think some folk weirdly are cool with that :)
@@paulgoes5494 These could be 10-15 minutes if you are talking about one creature stack. I've enjoyed your tier list so these would be interesting to watch. You could talk about their stats, how to get them, pros/cons have then fight a small stack of peasants. Look forward to any new videos you make.
Nice video. Agree with alot of your thoughts. I would probobly rank the Hydras alot higher, like you said they cause havoc in your army if teleported. God forbid they are blessed aswell
I'll mostly agree with your ratings and would rate most of these creatures in similar way there are however few creatures I'd rate very differently firstly I'll strongly disagree with your opinion about crimson couatls. personally I feel like upgrade helps them a lot, mostly because they can turn on invulnerability and act on the same turn. you can just make them invulnerable and fly into enemy army, normally sending single stack of mobile units like that causes them to take massive damage but in case of couatls you can safely send them to deal with some big irritating stack of units and not be worried about taking massive losses, on top of that they combo with many spells pretty well, if you clone them clones can use invulnerability, you can give them frenzy and not care about it's drawbacks or you can use your own aoe magic and not be worried about hitting them. second thing I'll disagree with are sea dogs you rated them as low b but I think they don't even deserve that rating, resources and time you need to invest to get them are just to much. there is a reason you almost never see them at higher level of play, you'll always have something better to invest in and you often end the game before you'll actually build them. realistically you'd probably only want to invest in them if you really are forced into that because for example you found like 2 dwellings of pirates and pandora box with pirates/corsairs/sea dogs week 1, otherwise you'll probably end up always having something better to spend your money on, they may be strongest tier 3 unit in the game but they rarely are worth their price. if they are not worth their price in regular pvp where you start with 10000 gold (+- tradeup) they are surely even worse in your environment where you start with no gold at all. about updates to units from older towns: I don't think introduction of experimental shop is that big of a buff to giants, that surely increase their value but I don't think they deserve to be almost as highly rated as angels, sentiel automatons or ayssids after all they are tier 7 unit with no other special ability than immunity to mind spells and about average stats also I don't think phoenixes should take such huge downgrade. phoenixes take a hit but they remain fastest non-neutral unit guarantying you first cast (unless your opponent have something like azure dragons) and this is in my opinion enough to give them at least high 'a' if not low 's' my last point of disagreement would be behemoth adjustment, I think biggest strength of behemoths is their accessibility, they are only tier 7 unit that can be reliably bought week 1, sure there are other t7 units you can build week 1 like for example green dragons but that requires to much of sacrifice (in case of green dragons you need to postpone elves upgrade) and really good economy, especially if you take into consideration the fact that you play with no starting resources this t7 rush is realistically possible only on stronghold. ancient behemoths are just big ball of stats with special ability that effectively makes them even bigger ball of stats, most of t7 upgraded units can shoot, fly or have something else to them that makes them special and in my opinion better than ancient behemoths(with some rare exceptions like ghost dragon). sure regular behemoths are also just big ball of stats but they have one 'special' thing to them as they are deployable super early and even tho it isn't strategy you'd aim to play every game I think just having this as option makes regular behemoths better than ancient ones
Thanks for these Toothy! Interesting take on the Crimsons will be good to see if others agree. I've not gotten to frenzy them and found them good but not insane so far. Fair enough on the conflux and I may have had some sour grape syndrome there having spent 25 years spamming those sprites and phoenixes! Giants I'm looking not just at the shop but the deletion of mage tower from the path and I see beauty there. But also, latest campaign there were workshops everywhere... Fair enough on Ancients on these I may have been overswayed by the masses :) although I do think D+ was too low
Hey there - sorry what exactly do you mean man? I did a Hero Class tier list which includes Cove (was done pre-Factory release). I assume you don't mean the champion creature
Wild timing, I literally just finished watching the original video yesterday!
He is hacking our computers or something; I finished watching the old video not even an hour ago
One cool thing about Olgoi is that their corpse devour ability stacks. So you can actually devour multiple corpses (across turns) and then attack with 3+ attacks. Kind of hard to use but when it works out it really packs a punch. I got hit by 4x attacks on one turn once in a PvP match and it was devastating.
Paul Paul Paul. How could you do this to me? You left me nothing to disagree upon. =) Great video buddy.
Haha thanks Arto
Lets go boii, so far so good, be sure too stay alive and keep the good work
Finally, its been a long time
Heat stroke has unlimited uses but requires Dreadnoughts to remain in place. It also has no retaliation.

Great tierlist ty for your work!
Enjoyed the vid!
Would be interesting to see how those new balancing changes play out

Epic! Welcome back to the fold man I hope you get hooked good :)

about updates to units from older towns:
I don't think introduction of experimental shop is that big of a buff to giants, that surely increase their value but I don't think they deserve to be almost as highly rated as angels, sentiel automatons or ayssids after all they are tier 7 unit with no other special ability than
immunity to mind spells and about average stats
also I don't think phoenixes should take such huge downgrade. phoenixes take a hit but they remain fastest non-neutral unit guarantying you first cast (unless your opponent have something like azure dragons) and this is in my opinion enough to give them at least high 'a' if not low 's'
my last point of disagreement would be behemoth adjustment, I think biggest strength of behemoths is their accessibility, they are only tier 7 unit that can be reliably bought week 1, sure there are other t7 units you can build week 1 like for example green dragons but that requires to much of sacrifice (in case of green dragons you need to postpone elves upgrade) and really good economy, especially if you take into consideration the fact that you play with no starting resources this t7 rush is realistically possible only on stronghold. ancient behemoths are just big ball of stats with special ability that effectively makes them even bigger ball of stats, most of t7 upgraded units can shoot, fly or have something else to them that makes them special and in my opinion better than ancient behemoths(with some rare exceptions like ghost dragon). sure regular behemoths are also just big ball of stats but they have one 'special' thing to them as they are deployable super early and even tho it isn't strategy you'd aim to play every game I think just having this as option makes regular behemoths better than ancient ones

Can u do tier list of champions in HoTa?
Hey there - sorry what exactly do you mean man? I did a Hero Class tier list which includes Cove (was done pre-Factory release). I assume you don't mean the champion creature
Paul Goesling! You Sonofagun! This vid is a banging idea!
12:10 literally started to remix.
Hey thanks Austra! Love it when you drop by man it's like we have some deep unspoken connection
r-r-r-r-r?
You remind me of a guy I used to hang out with, for sure. Do you play magic?
Mate I do! Do you like Ulver?
