Heroes of Might and Magic III: Ranking the Town Factions

I’ve always considered Heroes Might of Magic III Complete Edition to be the best in the series, and it is the one I return most to in large part due to its compelling collection of factions. Each has something to like, but there can be only one to rule them all.

When did u tube become such a junk shop ? Just look at this mess. This page as presented is terrible. The people that designed this should find a new line of work.

[ManfredHanberg]

I agree, the "Ancient Bahamas" is a really good unit

[ShadoWafel]

giving your opinion on HOMM3 factions?

The music and atmosphere of this game is just so good, part of what makes it still playable after all this time.

[TheLaati]

I didn't know Stronghold had Bahamas as their unit.

[josefraypon]

Its good to know that there are still players of this game after how many years.. 👍👍

*Laughs in cloak of the undead king with 100k Power Liches* Yes, truly it is the aesthetics and skill that makes Necropolis so powerful.

This game is something special. Every creature from any book, mythology or just a story is included in this game. They are so many options you can choose from. I love Heroes 3.. the turn base idea, the massive map with hidden dangers and rewards literally on every corner, the dungeons to explore, the beautiful book with all the spells you can imagine.. and more. This is a complete game experience!! I remember playing it twenty years ago with friends on the same computer, waiting for each one of us to complete their turn, it was awesome! I really really hoped for many years now that some game developer will see the beauty of this game and take it to a other level (like they did with Star Craft. They took the game and created a masterpiece just because they've kept the original authentic look and mechanics of the game and only improved them in Star Craft 2). This was very important in order not to lose the fans. Instead Heroes 4 and any other Heroes game after that was a step away from the original look of Heroes 3.. and that's why they were so disappointing. I am still hoping till this day..

The guy is careful to state that the list is mostly his opinion based on how cool the factions look for him and his playstyle in general, states that they are all decent at the end of the day and even mentions while going through the list that a certain faction is actually considered very strong by most but he doesn't like to play it as much so he's putting it lower. Still didn't stop a horde of spastics raging in the comments section because some faction is not where it should be.

[Liuouis]

why am i watching this 4am in the morning I dont even play the game

[morenakuu]

So you're trying to tell me, I shouldn't pick based on what my favorite theme song is?

After a while you realise that the faction most fun to play is Random :D

[chrisberg]

I love getting the necromany artifact that makes you get liches each encounter instead of skeletons.

[BillWD]

This game is one of the best ever made when it's era is taken into account. I play it to this day. We all have our favourite 1 or 2 or 4 factions but to be honest I like all of them. I could go into more detail on where towns rank but nows not the time!
There is a board game coming out soon, kickstarter to launch. It looks great with the aesthetic.

[CiastoToKlamstwo]

>skeletons
>not assembling the cloak of B A L A N C E D king for liches

I remember playing online against one dude from finland like 10 years ago. It was like most fun match i ever had. I was inferno with spellcaster hero with shtload of mana and spellpower and he was dungeon overlord. after initial skirmish with our main heroes he runned away. i was pissed, but i had ace in a hole.I found and purchased shackles of no retreating. was giggling at my little evil plan xD

After finally chasing hem down to finish hem off once and for good, we had our final fight.
But then i realized i cant cast any spells!! Dude bought freaking anti casting artifact from artifact merchant and i pretty much killed myself haha xD best game ever :)

[Sebzett]

So many memories, geez
Thanks for the video, i never had a favorite faction, i loved all of them, except the elementals

[JediMasterZao]

I was always under the impression that the Hell guys were amongst the strongest factions. Devils/Archdevils are really strong for the ability to be able to go anywhere and cause no retaliation and Efreet Sultans are kind of OP.
