Castle VS Rampart | 100 weeks growth | Heroes of Might and Magic 3 HotA

1 vs 1 battle of HoMM3 towns, with 100 weeks of Castle and horde growth (with skeletons boost). None of the heroes have skills (so specialties such as Offense and Armorer are useless).

It`s funny how monk and the crossbow dude went "fuck it, let`s just go beat his ass" in the first one

[@szczesliwekomunikacjeladow383]

For a moment i thought Castle threw the first one, but that no melee penalty on monks worked wonders.

[@heroes3dealer639]

I thought rampart would win aswell because they have 800 trees.

@@heroes3dealer639 yeah was so sure they would come i clutch. but the 2800 pikemen also hit different. and the upg battle wasnt even a contest lol

Monks do have a melee penalty, it's zealots that don't have it.

[@unukthewarrior8077]

What a difference in results, it is incredible how in the first battle the ranged units from castle went to hand to hand combat, and in the second combat (although almost) no platoon lost for castle!

[@StefveoX]

man, dendroid soldiers are a great unit man

Castle OP...

[@blackthorne3004]

Yes it is. Back when I was playing in the Hot Seat, it was considered unsportsmanlike to choose Castle.

[@DehydratedDarkness]

​@@blackthorne3004I mean... it is. It has no bad units at all, actually all range from "borderline OP" to "solid"

[@blackthorne3004]

@@DehydratedDarkness That's the way it is. Castle simply has hardly any disadvantages. 2 flyers, 2 shooters and probably the most powerful level 7. There is also the stable, whose speed boost is another advantage. But if you want to look for a disadvantage, it is the magic guild only up to level 4.
And purely from the stats, you can see that in the AI ​​fights (just hit it) Castle flattens every other city. The second strongest town in terms of stats is Rampart.
And Tower = Titans. ;-)😅

[@Soriyou3]

Do Tower vs Rampart and Rampart vs Dungeon!

[@uncleernie345]

fight in towns without forts so no crap would spawn on the battlefield, the crusaders at 3:03 would have been able to hit the unicorns twice without retaliation if they didnt have to walk around that clutter.

[@Tibor0803]

It doesn't actually count because Castle won with a definitively high advantage.

[@heroes3dealer639]

Thanks for the suggestion! I will try to implement it in the next town vs town vid.

[@nemou4985]

That is nothing, the war unicorns could have hit the archangels (with no retaliation) if the gold dragon attacked from the other side...

[@petervlcko4858]

Whole castle army is like cheat. There is no unit which do not have fortified attack. Only pikemen is common but beefy with good stats. When you check specials of other town on units is just plain stupid, even worse those are all passives and no trigger specials.

[@bosspoke]

What you talking about? Halberdiers have one of the highest attacks of tier 1, mostly just beaten by sprites and skeletons due to necromancy. And on par with centaur captains. Being far more tanky than sprites though, I'd say their throughput is higher overall.
Zealots don't deal particulary high dmg for tier 5, but they are shooters which helps.
The rest hits very hard though for their tier. Marksmen has highest dps in tier 2. Royal griff has very high dps because of numbers. Crusaders have 2nd best dmg in the game not counting attack/defence or AoE abilities. Champions can hit harder than other tier 6. And Arch Angel is OP as usual.

[@petervlcko4858]

@@bosspoke yeah castle is op imo.
