Heroes 3 best skills || Overview || Heroes 3 skills guide || Alex_The_Magician | Heroes 3 skill rank 

7th skill is logistics and 12th is pathfinding!

The last sentence was amazing - if you get a choice between First Aid and Eagle Eye you choose... I choose to alt F4 :D

One thing that is overlooked about Fire Magic is the effect of the Blind spell. So, if you attack a blinded enemy, it will retaliate when awakened from blind, but depending on the fire magic skill, it will be either 50% of normal damage (basic fire magic/none at all) , 25% dmg (advanced) and NO RETALIATION on expert Blind. SO, you cast expert Blind on an enemy, then cast slow, then you can attack it with a powerful unit , attack it with archers and then blind it again before it has a chance to act.

- Water magic is super important when you have 1 heavy hitter unit that you want to clone - Against AI, armorer is better than offense because the big damage is usually done by berserker - Having Estates in a university is the best thing ever, because you can get it to all your secondary heroes and suddenly you got 7 gold mines - Mysticism has to be 10x more powerful before it justifies a skill slot

Best spell in the game is without a shadow of a doubt town portal. That spell is like cheating. If you get it, you win the game.

You got logistics and pathfinding mixed.

First Aid should be changed to allow you to ressurect on expert level. Them it would be more useful. Or at least allow it to provide buffer temporary HP points to units that are not damaged.

Poor eagle eye, never gets any love. :P I actually have gotten it to work--on a map where you have only once castle and your hero is an eagle eye specialist and you expect to fend off multiple attacks. Very situational, yes. :)

I'd like to contest the opinion on Artillery. During a siege, your arrow towers will get to fire before a catapult, giving you the first cast even if the enemy has ballistics. On top of that, having a cannon allows you to damage the drawbridge without investing in ballistics, which means you get some of the benefits of ballistics without having a dead skill for 95% of the game, allowing your melee non-fliers to get inside quicker. Besides, the cannon's not useless without cannon specialty. You need to get some serious levels going before the cannon specialty starts to shine in any meaningful way, and you're just never going to have a hero that high level. At level 30, your cannon gets +5 to its attack. Trust me, if you're level 30 you wont notice 5 extra attack between all the colosseums, merc camps and artifacts you've picked up. In short, it's not useless because you aren't a cannon specialist. Cannon is just good regardless of specialty

New skill: *comes on* Alex: So imagine for a second, that you’re Luna

Take a shot every time the guy says Earth Magic

You my friend are amazing, ive been playing this game with friends and siblings since i was a wee boy. The thing is ive never really understood much about it haha. I struggle against the default ai😂 but thanks to your breakdowns its totally changed my perspective, so psyched to play after work.

I slightly disagree with Estates. It is great for side hero, in HotA expert estates gives you 1000 per day and that is super useful. Especially if you can get Leena (Cove), because she has Estates as starting skill and her specialty is +350 gold. If you can get her in the beginning, she can provide 1350 gold every day from second week. That is 9450 every week. And you forgot to mention Town portal. Teleport to any town is amazing ability.

To summarize, by someone who has never played the game. Every skill, with a few exeptions, has around medium priority. But "you would't prioritize anything as high as Earth magic or Fire magic if you're Luna" (as you can find out at the end of each sentence). 😆 I don't mean to be rude but it really sounds like everything, but Earth and sometimes Fire, is so situational that it's almost meaningless to rank them.

I don't understand the lust of players for air magic. Nobody questions earth being the best, but I feel like the 2nd best is water. Mass bless, cure, and dispel are invaluable, while prayer is a better haste.

Amateur player here, but to my style of playing against 7 AI my number 1 pick is Castle with Adela and her Diplomacy, with just a bit of luck you can get Expert Diplomacy in the first week, grow mercenary army real fast and that way I have pretty much all mines/resources around my castle real fast thus helping me to grow economy and be 2 steps ahead.

As a beginner in heroes 3 i find your channel very useful thank you very much !

This would be perfect in a tier list

Important note: This is regarding HotA, not vanilla. Surprised it's not mentioned at the top of your video / in the title / description. I know it's pretty much standard for PvP, but not all H3 players are into PvP or modded. Thanks for the guide nonetheless, it's very useful.

Have gotten into Heroes 3 again during the pandemic playing against a friend and your vids have helped me stomp his ass a lot! So thanks for the great content!

"Earth magic is the best because it can give Slowness, Implosion and Ressurection." No it can't because for Implosion and Ressurection you need Wisdom which is "not necessary" by his standarts.

just beginning to watch: my pick for the best skill would be wisdom, followed by earth magic, air magic, logistics; then it DEPENDS on how you want to build the hero but these first are mandatory for general ability

I play mostly campaigns and my picks are almost always: 1 wisdom 2 earth magic 3 offence 4 logistics 5 armourer 6 archery 7 intelligence 8 water magic/tactics Mysticism could be buffed by adding additional spell points gained in proportion to the total spell points of the hero. Eg. at expert level gain 15 mana +30% of the total spell points of the hero. In that way, a hero which has 150 total spell points does not have to wait 10 rounds but only 2.5 rounds. Moreover, ballistics, artillery, and first aid could be combined into one skill.

So just to be sure, is Earth Magic any good?

Hey Alex, keep up the regular uploads! Enjoying your YT content!

I feel like Earth magic is mandatory for Town gate on bigger maps. Small maps air magic. You need at least either one of those for good tempo in moving around the map. It's best combination if you can have both. Choice between water and fire is situational fully. Fire magic can be good for Iffrits+armagedon Water magic has clone, perfect for powerful stacks of units, that's basically twice the damage done because you get second unit(clone) and enemy has to attack it, so it eats up one attack, can be used to get rid of enemies retaliation while still doing damage. You don't need water or fire magic imo if you already have earth/air, as you don't get to spam so many spells in fights. Logistics is mandatory: Air magic dimension doors use movement points, Catching up to enemy Heroes Overall map tempo Offense and archery situationally, but offense is more versatile, You don't need wisdom if you can have other sources of spells but it's good to have, better to have more slots for artifacts than use them for scrolls etc. Morale good for mixing units, that's all Luck is lower than morale, it doesn't give anything outside of fight advantage You can easily get luck and morale of Artifacts Pathfinding is often very useful Etc etc etc.

I have found that expert fire magic is extremely good because with certain towns you get access to a curse spell which is very effective in Hives, Conses and pickets. Literally divides army damage taken by ~2 because the objects in question are guarded by creatures very vulnerable to curse.

Wisdom, Intelligence, Air, Earth, Logistics, Leadership. If map is big, Diplomacy, maybe Tactics. Necromancy for Necromancers, maybe Warlocks.

A sneaky good spell with expert fire magic is berserk. That spell has won me some fights by getting 2 of their big stacks to fight eachother

Dude, Water Magic has Mass Bless and Clone. Definitely more useful than most Fire Magic spells in a broader sense. Clone and Bless will ALWAYS benefit an army. With Armageddon you need specific items/units in order to use it effectively.

Must skills are: Wisdom, logistics, earth magic, air magic, offence, water magic. Secondary skills depending on map and faction: Archery, Leadership, Navigation, Necromancy, Pathfinding, Fire Magic, Tactics, Intelligence. The rest is just garbage. I cant believe he said water magic is useless. Water magic has some of the most important spells which is dispell and cure. Do you realize you cannot dispell your units without water magic? I could use berserker on your army over and over again and destroy it without making a single move with my units.

Hi Alex, I sometimes find fire magic more useful than earth magic. Although you can mass slow the enemy units, ranged ones are not much affected as far as I know (they don't need to move). I personally prefer blind (I reckon it's FM) to slow, as I need to get rid of shooters at first. Moreover, during the siege, there's little point slowing enemies IMO, when they're just peeking out behind the walls. Thanks in advance whether you agree or disagree.

Hey thanks for these videos! I used to play Heroes3 as a kid and played it a lot but haven’t played in years. I’m watching these vids to amp up to getting the game and I had a couple of questions: - Is there a good webpage or video to catch up in terminology? A lot of content I have found uses jargon I’m not familiar with and can’t always figure out. E.g. I can sort of guess what a powerstack is but a hive? Hero chaining? Jebus? - Does the HotA mod work with the HD version that was released or should I be getting the non-HD version and use the HD mod?

Completely disagree with the water magic, on expert level you can cast dispell to get rid of the mass slow, also mass bless so all your units deal always maximum damage and increase their damage aswell, its super powerfull, way better than fire magic for sure.

Appreciate the informative vid, I'm confused about your stance on ballistics though. With ballistics I'll break the gate down first round majority of the time, without it I spend the whole game bleeding out low units to archers for several rounds, and the losses add up to a lot. By things you said it sounds like you're playing shortish scenarios (pvp?) where castle battles are rare, could that explain the difference? Castle battles are basically the meat of the game when I play. Possible I'm in the minority, or you may be speaking to a specific pvp audience. Happy to be corrected by someone that knows the game better than I do but I've been playing like this for 20 years so I'll need a hand to challenging my understanding.

I would put ballistics much higher -- going first is very useful during a castle siege, so you can cast expert slow and do a lot of damage before the opposing army can do much. I see that Horn of the Abyss (HOTA) changed many of these secondary skills since I almost always take intelligence for my primary necro magic hero since it's 2x in HOMM3 complete instead of +50%. Mysticism is completely useless in HOMM3 complete but a little bit more useful in HOTA. Having 1000+ mana in the end game is very useful for dimension dooring all over the place or casting animate dead over and over again when I'm outmatched in a battle.

5:42 after leadership come logistics... the symbol there is logistics not path-finding... pretty much you switched the symbols of logistics and path-finding

Re-watching this after 8 months or so, a few points I'd like to comment on. Please, keep in mind that ALL my comments are for Heroes III Complete (Shadow of Death), I don't play other games in the genre so I don't concern myself with them. Also, I don't do PvP so that is out too. There are skills that are totally map-dependent, like Navigation and Pathfinding (what use is Pathfinding on maps without swamps, deserts or other rough terrains? Same for Nav on maps with little or no water) and there are skills that are player dependent (some players like this skill, for whatever reason, or that skill). Surely there are better choices in general but people don't always choose what is best but what they like best. That being said, there are skills that are very usefull when NOT on your main hero, like Estates, Diplomacy (this one requires SOME army to work), Scholar (paired with expert Wisdom, otherwise it won't do much for you), Navigation on maps with at least SOME water, Scouting (a MUST for secondaries that are used as...scouts!). There are also skills that are rarely useful, IMO, like Resistence, Luck, Mysticism (the only use I can think of for this is on maps with very few towns AND no wells), Learning (after lvl 8-10 totally useless unless you want it on secondaries so they level up a bit faster?). And then, of course, there are the really good ones: Earth Magic, Air Magic, Logistics, Offense, Armorer. These 5 can make or break you in any game. Other than these, it depends on other factors, like map size and makeup, and personal preference. Necromancy is a special case, it CAN win you the map but it can only be used effectively by those who already know it (have you EVER picked Necro with a non-Necromancer?). This leaves the "rest", where personal preference, play style, map characteristics and town choice can weigh in, like Fire Magic and Water Magic, Sorcery and Intelligence, Tactics and Leadership (although a case can be made for Tactics, the ability to arrange your troops on the battlefield is quite useful and the chance to deny that to your opponent makes it even more desirable). My usual picks, when I am offered such choice, is Earth Magic, Logistics, Offense, Armorer, Air Magic and from then on, it depends on what map I play, what armies I get and what my opponents are doing. I may get Leadership, if I mix more than 2 types of troops, Archery, if I am shooter heavy like when playin Tower. Navigation on maps with lots of water, it all depends. The 5 mentioned above are my essentials, beyond those I can pick and choose depending on specific needs and circumstances. Wisdom, it goes without saying but I thought I'd say it anyway, is always a MUST! Not necessarily as a first skill choice but you NEED it anyway - what good is a maxxed Mage Guild if your Wisdom is Basic?? Granted, the spells one mostly uses are lvl 1-2 BUT the "meat" of the magic user is above, lvl 3, 4 and of course 5!

What is jebus cross map? I'm not newbie in H3 but definately newbie to PvP thing and i don;t get most of H3 slang. Is there a compedium explaining terms ppk use when talking about H3?

Should have been a tier list video, it would have helped you a lot to engage visually and show the "hierarchy" instead of repeating it verbally, overall good video and solid advices

Ok, so to summarize... Earth magic: the best skill, should always be a priority. Eagle eye: useless. All good/decent skills: they're good but not as good as earth magic. All bad/below average skills: they're crap but not as crap as eagle eye. Got it.

I find wisdom essential is most cases since it allows you hero to learn critical if you run a hero for any of the spell-oriented castles like conflux, tower, dungeon and so on... You cannot cast tier 4 or 5 spells if you are not wise enough to learn them :)

Me realizing 20 years later, after installing VCMI and watching that video that I actually never play HOMM3 properly despite likely hundreeds of hours spent on It ... ;) Thanks for the explanations !

What’s your ideal hero set up for all 8 skills ? Mine would be in importance but not necessarily order I would get them: Wisdom, Logistics, Earth Magic, Offence, Tactics, Air Magic, Leadership/Intelligence, Armor/Luck or worth mention is Water/Fire or Sorcery. Rest of skills or useless on a Main; I do like a side and support hero’s with Scholar Wisdom Earth and air Magic also pathfinding scouting estates.

I have played this game continuously for more than 20 years. I only play on the largest random map possible with the hardest difficulty and with 8 players, and since hota the maps have gotten even bigger. my personal top 5 skills for gigantic maps + underground are: 1. Diplomacy Starting from 3th month. This is becomes my main way to recruit new creatues. I get hundreds of black dragons and archangels in lategame. Which makes this super overpowered. 2. Wisdom Dont think this need explanation. Its just essential. But sometimes enemy npc have the red orb that removes magic from battle. Which is the only problem. But by then I would have alot creatures to win the battle because of diplomacy, which makes diplomacy the number one. 3. Air magic Logistics is useless if ur a air magic user. U dont need to walk. U just teleport 4 times a day. If u have the air orb that enhances air magic. U can teleport even more times which covers more distance than logistic ever could. 4. Earth magic With expert earth magic u can teleport to any castle u want and how many times u want with the gateway spell. It especially becomes usefull if u have a lot of castles and its poorly protected. Just teleport ur main hero to the castle defend it. And a second benefit is, ur mana is fully restored, because u rested at that castle u protected. Other reason is ressurection spell. U can littraly win against anything without losing a single unit. Just blind the last enemy mob, and ressurect all ur lost creatures before killing the last mob. 5. Wisdom More mana = more teleports = more exploring before u need to refill.

Even tough most people don't like it, I really like Leadership! I am always exited when a unit has an extra move!

This would have been better if you'd sorted them into tier lists along the way to make it clearer what skills you should choose if you have the choice between two skills where it's not immediately obvious which one is more desirable.

I agree with most😃. Good skills overview👏😃

If Necro: 1) Necromancy 2) Logistics 3) Learning (Fast level-up) 4) Earth 5) Air 6) Wisdom 7) Diplomacy 8) Fire or Water (depends which one you like more) If not Necro: 1) Logistics 2) Learning 3) Earth 4) Air 5) Wisdom 6) Diplomacy 7) Fire or Water (depends whcih one you like more 8) Fire or Water

I haven't played in years, but I always loved getting Pathfinding and Logistics to be able to move around the map longer and further to defend if needed or to surprise someone by coming out of nowhere from really far away. Maybe I am crazy or was doing it wrong, but the only spell masteries I remember using often was Air? For Mass Haste and you needed to have max level in order for the spell to cast on everyone. Maybe I am wrong, again, been a long time. I still do have Heroes of M&M 4, but have not played that in several years. (I tried HoMM5, but did not like it for some reason).

Eyo, water magic has CLONE. Clone the Archangel, resurrect with that clone, repeat. It's a specific case with Castle, but still, clone also takes retaliation from the opponent, it attracts opponents to be hit instead of the army, etc.

It's funny... back when playing Heroes 2, Gem was always my favourite sorceress... of course there is no difference between heroes of the same classes back then... it was a purely aesthetic preference since I always had a thing for girls with blonde hair and green eyes. Broke my heart the moment I found in Heroes 3 that her specialization is First Aid. And it's STILL First Aid in the Shadow of Death campaigns that feature her as one of the main protagonists. And she's right there next to Gelu who can upgrade archers and wood elves into sharpshooters, Crag Hack who specializes in Offense and Yog who (in those campaigns) specializes in Chain lightning. Definitely dead weight by comparison. Fortunately, her Ashan counterpart in Heroes VII is a fair bit more useful seeing as how healing spells, such as Regeneration, which she specializes in there can resurrect your troops.

Necromancy, Wisdom, Logistics, fire, earth, air, water - that's what I would always bet on. Diplomacy is pretty broken, but I don't like it.

I just started playing homm3 again after a paus since my chilshood. And for the first time am I playing PVP. I have a Hard time finding information online that is useful, but this channel is a treasure. Thanks! I have two questiond: 1) Let say that you have a "regular" game of HOTA 1v1 JC and you play Luna as your main, what would your optimal secondary set up be? Also: Would you say that basic hero chaining is a must in order to play online? Even on a lower pvp-level? I feel like learning hota, PvP and chaining at the same time is a struggle, but to keep losing game after game aint no fun either. Cheers!

I always go for these 4: Logistics, Earth, Air, Luck. The rest can be a gamble (to make every game play different). Combined with Town Portal and you will always win. The most useless: diplomacy, eagles eye, intelligence, water, path finding,

Earth and Air magic is so OP against Water Magic. I think Water Magic would be way better if they put one high damage spell and adventure spell, for example Watering Hole, that will give you extra 400 movement points and +1 morale for next battle.

I'd love to see a fan made balance patch. Nothing too drastic, but just tweak some of the obvious stuff. - buff the useless spells/skills - nerf necropolis - buff inferno - better trade system --- optional QoL stuff ---- - diplomacy options - fog of war - convert conquered enemy town to your home town (but starting over with town hall and level 1 structures) - option to do quick combat when you attack Etc Etc.

Diplomacy is banned in competitive games. Same as navigation. Also, some spells such as Dimension door, berserk, Fly are also banned. 1. Logistics is a MUST have in competitive games. Ballistics is also a must have if you play a faction with a bad late game or you have a bad start. 2. Learning, Eagle eye, first aid, Mysticism, Sorcery and artillery are useless skills that should be avoided at all costs. 3. Estates, Scholar and Pathfinding are only good on secondary heroes... Search them at all costs for secondary heroes. 4. Necromancy is a specialized skill only useful for Undead. 5. Magic resist > Armour > Offense (but all are good on every hero) 6. Archery is good only if you play Tower, Stronghold or Dungeon heroes and quite niche if you play castle/Conflux/ Rampart. It is also good on secondary heroes that defend the castle. Avoid at all cost on the rest. 7. Luck is extremely good in almost all situations especially if you do not have water magic. Leadership is niche. 8. Water magic / Earth magic >Air magic > Fire magic. It also depends if you play a mage or not and other factors such as Wisdom/Intelligence

for me wisdom, earth magic and offense are must have. then logistics and air magic. i avoid learning, eagle eye, scholar and many other skills on my main hero. its cool to have a secondary with estates and scholar tho

Hello, I have a question about Leadership and Luck is that right, that max Morale or Luck is 3 ? If it's true then these skills theoretically are useless when hero got some artifacts. But in practice, as i play i think hero with leadership and luck still have greater chance for additional/doubled attack How is that working ?

Meta moment; should I get Advanced Tactics over basic resistance?

They should rework the skills imo Incorporate scouting into eagle eye. Incorporate learning into scholar. Ballistics and first aid into one skill, call it field works. They could do the same for some of the others as well, like putting mysticism into sorcery and maybe bake luck and estates together. Not so sure about that. But the first 6 i mentioned definitely needs it. Learning and eagle eye is especially useless.

How do you grab the hilt of the sword if Expert Offense, when it has some sort of spikes on it? It doesn't really makes sense to me. Or the explanation on this is: "it looks good, next question"?

Agreed water magic is the weakest, but would you agree teleport and clone can be situationally useful? I would say they’re even maybe on par with Berserk? Also, I was thinking of a water magic spell that the hota team could eventually add in a future patch, something like soul link, maybe lvl 3 or 4, where you select one of your creature stacks that, whenever it would take damage, all damage would instead be absorbed by another friendly creature stack you select. Would be a Good way to protect vulnerable power stacks like cyclopses or grand elves. A spell like that might make water magic more viable

You forgot to mention the Artillery gives the defending hero first cast in siege battles. For other than that reason, there isn't much reason to pick it. Also, I think you're slightly underselling Armorer, it's likely a top 5 skill, because it simply reduces all non-magic dmg, not just melee. Amazing skill against neutrals and in final battle.

Man i wish they had made fire damage spells more damaging. the spells being categorized by their elements, and fire being viewed as the destructive force throughout the human history for very obvious reason, it would make perfect sense if fire damage spells would deal the most damage, while earth, water and air magic would lean more towards the utility, thus leaning less damage than fire spells. balancing the spell schools this way would also make the choice between the spell schools more tactical rather than very obvious pick or skip. whether you want to deal maximum spell damage or deal less damage but have more certain type of utility on your spell power. the more i think of this the less i can understand the thought process of the devs on the damage aspect of the schools of magic. another things about magic are the town portal, fly and dimension door spells. at their current state they are completely broken, but only because they cost so little amount of mana regardless of the size of your army. they're very cool spells to have in the game by their basic function, but if they would scale with the army size or cost a flat large percentage of your maximum mana like flat 25 or 50 or even 75% for a single cast it would force the caster to strategize the use of the still extremely powerful spells, rather than spamming them each round near endlessly like it pretty much is at the end game, the whole purpose of the game almost being a race who gets the first access to these broken spells. coming back to the school balance things, it would be awesome if dimension door would be a fire spell to balance things out, as there's no obvious reason why manipulating dimensions would belong in any specific school of magic over another. (the same goes with implosion btw)

Water "worst magic" untill you get mass berserker. For some castles, bless increases average input damage by 50% and prayer is basically haste with stone skin + bloodlust. Clone can be game changing too. I honestly think Water Magic is second best.

It's not HOMM but some random mod :/

For me water magic is often worth investing in just because of group prayer.

Isn't the most important spell for earth magic Town Portal?

I kind of warmed up to first aid. A little. A lot of times in the early game that you are doing edge of the knife fights, stretching the limits tanking on your efreets or something and you really don’t want to lose any because you have like 2 of them. However it is still bad because you can’t use it for money objects where it could REALLY come through.

You should attach an information about game version and/or modification to your ranking videos. At least because HoTA changes the ingame parameters from time to time.

A very professional job - appreciated. But what's the use having wisdom or intelligence when you lack in sorcery or mysticism? The logics tells me that all these attributes should be equal.

Very good tips! 👍❤️

did you mess up logistics and pathfinding? or what I ussually play WoG is different?

expert earth magic is amazing with town portal, lets you tele to any allied town

Conflux units have a big difference between min damage and max damage. U didn't even mention a mass bless. A new player?

Which do you think is better for late game, earth magic or wind magic?

I disagree, with your point about First Aid skill. It's indeed useful when it comes to powerful units which can tank a lot of damage. If you are taking a lot of damage, you can keep on fighting with a good dragon unit without losing stack counts of them and you get away cheaper as you don't have to buy everything from the town, it's just the Dragon you take. You can freely level your heroes effectively as you time your movement on a deserted place where monsters are plenty. Just wait when you plan to attack and you will take way less damage from a weakened stack. The First Aid Tent there with this secondary skill allows you to be as durable with your Dragon only setup as possible.

its funny that dimensional door is air magic. imo just from point of inferno they has teleporting devil and castle gate within castle. fly for air, waterwalk for water magic, dimensional door for fire and towngate for earth. should make all magic has some movement improvement spell.

The thing i don't understand is claim over Water Magic. But what about Expert Clone? It should be among best combat spells in game (perfect use on Titans for instance, as ranged attack doesn't get retaliation, which would erase cloned creature). Aswell Expert Prayer. Even Expert Bless can be really useful at a times. Mass Dispel or Mass Cure might be also needed sometimes. Also Expert Forgetfulness or Teleport spells can make wonders. On my earliest Heroes days, while played Heroes 2, one of favourite things of mine was to create Titans, clone them and fry enemies this way. Worked very well. But then again, i have mostly been singleplayer player on LAN with friends. Not really online. But have tried it also a little.

Isnt it a good combo for first-aid specialist and phnix ceature?

You aren't allowed to Fly or DD past break guards right?

Sorry my guy, hard to take advice when you call out pathfinding and hover over logistics

Why Luna? Can't it be any other hero for Fire Wall spell?

archery diplomacy or necromancy path logistics and scouting earth and wind magic is i always get no matter what faction or heroes i used ... point here is u must fast enough to get ur enemy

drinking game: drink one shot everytime you hear "earth magic"

First Aid is for small maps when you play high Hp units early on. Generally not a pick, but there are some niche games where it can work

Water magic is great. Cure and dispel are really good to get out debuffs or beneficial buffs from the other player. Prayer is amazing, bless is wonderful. Forgetfulness is very useful and will help you out in any game. Clone can be situationally good.

There are so many things incorrectly stated in this including Magic Resistance reducing opponents spell power.

I remember to always focus on Leadership, Diplomacy, Estates and maybe Luck as a must while the rest more or less optional.

Leadership,luck, earth, wind, logistic, sorcery, wisdom, defense, To hell with eagle eye, diplomacy, learning,knowledge and ballistics haha

Necromancy FTW baby! 😆

Earth Magic (Town Portal), Air Magic (Fly, Chain Lightning), Logistics

earth magic, when you say that it reminds me of the video with where that piece it fits? into the square:))

My best skills are logistics, Archery, offense, and earth magic for EXPERT Town Hall

what about a skill list for vs computers?

How to take this video seriously when you get pathfinding and logistics mixed up ?

Diplomacy is absolutely the best early on. Absolute top priority.

Drink a shot everytime Earth Magic is mentioned
