The new town type in the Armageddon's Blade addon.
Lvl1. Pixies/Sprites
Lvl2. Air Elementals/Storm Elementals (ranged)
Lvl3. Water Elementals/Ice Elementals (ranged)
Lvl4. Fire Elementals/Energy Elementals
Lvl5. Earth Elementals/Magma Elementals
Lvl6. Psychic Elementals/Magic Elementals
Lvl7. Firebird/Phoenix

They are quite weak really, but sport the fastest Lvl 7 unit in the game, that is also capable of a rebirth.

Conflux is much more powerful than all the other towns, but much more expensive too. It seems unnatural and I don't like it at all. Those psychic elementals are annoying.

Golden Dragon is in fact a weker Version of even the Red Dragon

The Necro Converter simply converts any Creature (for free i think) to Skeletons 1to1..
Useful when you accidently upgraded Skeleton to SkeletonWarriors (A Big NoNo)
or to convert those bad Troops which joined your Army (Undead Morale Modifiers nullify their Combat Usefulness anyway at most Times)

Yes, but morale is a major problem if you've got a living stack in your army of undead, since living stacks get an automatic -1 morale penalty for fighting alongside undead and your heroes don't have a morale-boosting skill (at least they'd better not). Bone/Ghost dragons are slow compared to other lvl 7 units, so most people you fight will have initiative unless you manage to get a lvl 8 stack (preferably an Azure Dragon or Faery Dragon, but any of the Special dragons will do), an Archdevil stack, or an Archangel stack in (to replace your zombies or your wraiths, zombies are nice as a suicide stack but wraiths have speed so it's up to how you play as to which stack you leave out). Strictly speaking you don't need a living stack in your army, but I always found that including a powerful stack will pay off in spades so long as you can keep its morale at a respectable level.

I don't understand this obsession with offensive magic. In H3, the very best spells are low-level - haste, slow, bless, prayer. Any hero can get these and gain the necessary skills to mass them, which makes far more of an impact on the battle field then any direct damage spell.

If you're in love with necro armies, like me, then bless and prayer aren't useful (although curse can come in handy). That'll often leave my hero with nothing better to do than cast an Implosion.

I usually have as one of my goals to have a super pumped up in moral army

Is it an option ONLY when you play as a necro character (sorry for my ignorance, but I only hve the Heroes chronicles and haven't been able to play as a necromacer yet.)

Only Necro towns can build a Converter. I'd assume that you could use a captured Converter in a Necro town if you aren't Necro, but you probably wouldn't want to--skeletons or any other undead give a -1 morale penalty to all living units in an army.

That Conflux sounds interetsings...
What are the specifics of Psychics elementaries?

[Main_Brain]

Only -1 Moral`? Are oyu sure I whought it was worse

[Traianvs]

Hmm any unit can be good, some need numbers, some need lots of gold...


think of the mighty gorgons, place 100 of those against 30 ancient behemoths, their death gaze is invaluable if you have an enemy with lots otf lvl7 units..

cyclops kings are frreaking powerful, they have good hit points, attack, can crush walls..

i once faced yog with 8000 cyclops kings

unbeatable, i had masses of other troops, anything you like, couldn't kill him...prolly cos he had like 40 attack etc and ranged items


i have lots of difficulties with barbs, their thunderbirds are crushing, their ogre magis don't die, a few thousand goblins, those qcuik raiders, the mighty behemoths... and they always have a crushing offense (their heroes)

It's -1 in addition to the penalty for fielding an army with mixed town types.

[Heresson]

Yes... Barbs are bad... But I had luck; in most of my games tehre were no barb castles and even if there were their owners weren't strong.
