>>2399637
Undead of course. I play this every few years. It's my go-to nostalgia game.
>>
>>2399637
We have threads for it there are plenty of people that play it. I don't have specific favorite faction they are all pretty good.
>>
>>2399770
My fav fraction is Legion of the damned, I played Undeads' campaign, Undeads are nice too

>Does anyone plays or knows Disciples 2?
My brother in Highfather, I'd say that at least every other Slav who played Heroes of Might & Magic most likely played D1 and/or D2 as well.
>which fraction was your favourite?
Empire, cause they're just so OP.
>>
>>2399637
>which fraction was your favourite?
i guess the dwarves, they're cool and got many interesting options to go. but i do like every faction.
>>
>>2400212
I like more Legion of the damned but I agree, all fractions are nice and interesting
>>
>>2399637
The elves are my least favourite. I dig their wild esthetic but they feel not so well-designed overall.

I played D2 in multiplayer a few times even.
>>
>>2400542
yeah, elves are worst fraction, they have only strong archers and their saga isnt interesting and sometimes cringe

>yeah, elves are worst fraction
Nah, that would be the dwarves. Don't get me wrong, I love my short kings (and queens, shout out to Yataa' Halli) but their lack of healing units, inability to stunlock and especially their low initiative is really fucking them up the ass.
In contrast, Elves have the highest average initiative in the game and can heal in combat (as well as re-apply elemental wards), so even if they can't stunlock a dangerous unit into submission, they can at least burst it down.
>>
>>2401448
>stunlock
Wtf you're about. They don't have stuns like the undead or legions.

Right and lacking that and healing and initiative and a flying hero makes clans bad. But it's ok because this was never meant to a competitive game and dwarves are cool
>>
>>2401796
>lacking a flying hero
This is true but Clans also have access to both Forestwalking and Seafaring spells which are cheap and arguably make land heroes move faster than flying heroes at times when it counts the most. They also have Haste spells which regains 100% of movement instead of 50% like the Empire version. Clans shoulde rarely hampered by movement issues.

>lack of healing units, inability to stunlock and especially their low initiative is really fucking them up the ass.
Clans collectively have a much larger the average HP pool (to counteract the low Initiative) which makes it it even more important to rotate units into towns for regen, since regen is % based their higher HP benefit more from it.

>buys a grimdark setting game hoping for hot chicks
>>
>>2401448
i don't mean that elves are shit fraction, just if developers would do them a bit more interesting and better campaign, elves would be good fraction
>>
>>2401775
textures in disciples 2 are a bit ugly, I agree, but portraits are peak, and graphic gives more dark depression fantasy (only my opinion)
>>
>>2401978
>>2401796
This is why warrior Lord is one of the best choice for Clans, the innate 15% regen from Warrior lord, which stacks with town regen btw, does a huge amount of work with their high HP pool.

The other thing is Clans can hit very VERY HARD in combat with their damage buffs capable of one-shoting low level enemies. They also have armor and damage buffs and potent direct damage spells at level 1-2 spells which can make one-shoting even easier or cause the AI to just run scared.

with undead paralysis you can stun lock nearly anything.

>>2405682
ofc undead is one of the best and my second fav fraction, they are also best variant for capturing capitals of other fractions. I like play with warrior lord, 1-2 phatom warriors, 1 wight or 1 death and 1-2 shades
>>
>>2405682
Polymorph > paralisys
>>
>nametard
>>
>>2413947
I agree, but Succubus is shit unit, 40% accuracy is very good ofc
>>
>>2401448
The Elves and Dwarves are my least fav fractoins because elves are weak and there is only 1 tree with 5 level units and also their saga isnt ineteresting. Dwarves are very slow very difficult to leveling up, and their saga is more interesting but also boring, the best fraction (my opinion, not the fact) is legions of the damned, because they are difficult for leveling up too but they are very strong, enough HP mid initiative and speed, peak animations and portraits, interesting upgrade and peak saga
>>
>>2415114
the problem of the demons is that they're very straightfoward save their mages. i like to adapt my strategy on the go.

>elves are weak and there is only 1 tree with 5 level units
Personally, Elves for me are the second or third strongest faction in the game. The biggest issue with them is the lack of meaningful choices in the evolution of their units, as you've pointed out. Their front line is absolute doo-doo and your real option in Sagas and longer Quests is using Centaur Savages (cause using Griffins and Skylords is just a waste of space). Their back line is pretty solid but that means that using a Guardian or a Dryad hero almost feels like that you're taking up the spot of a much better Ranged or Mage unit. You can do something like picrel, but that only works if your hero has enough health to soak up a hit or two.
Their spells are also middling: you have a poor man's Haste and Paralysis (though they're both lvl1 spells), a healing spell, a health-increasing spell, a couple of summoning, damaging and debuffing spells and an ability to add trees to the terrain or destroy Rods. It's not bad, but Empire does self-buffing and healing better, Clans have better mobility and armor spells, and Undead/Hordes have better debuffing and damaging spells.

>Polymorph > paralysis
Polymorph is useless when cast on a Capital Guardian, so no.

Okay, a few days after writing this I rechecked if I unfairly accused the Elves of their roster lacking meaningful evolutions and it turns out that they indeed lack a few to be on par with other factions. Here's a breakdown of the number of evolutions available to each faction for each unit class:
>Elven Alliance
Fighter: 3; Mage: 3; Ranged: 8; Support: 4; Aditional Unit (Griffins): 1
Total: 19
>Mountain Clans
Fighter: 8; Mage: 4; Ranged: 3; Support: 5; Aditional Unit (Yeti): none
Total: 20
>Empire
Fighter: 9; Mage: 4; Ranged: 2; Support: 6 Aditional Unit (Titan): none
Total: 21
>Undead Hordes
Fighter: 6; Mage: 9; Ranged: 2; Support: 4; Aditional Unit (Werewolf): none
Total: 21
>Legions of the Damned
Fighter: 3; Mage: 9; Ranged: 2; Support: 7; Aditional Unit (Fiend): none
Total: 21

Elves have the most developed ranged line out of all factions and are the only ones who gave an evolution to an additional unit. They could've had an additional evolution for their underwhelming Fighter and Mage tree, but it is what it is.
>>
>>2400179
Every faction is OP.
>>
>>2401978
>arguably
More like easy to prove mathematically. Non-flying parties move faster on roads.
