Are the campaigns fun enough??

[Aerosoldier]

I'm playing the campaigns for Heroes V, i really liked Haven, but now with Inferno i'm really bored coz i don't like Inferno, i just wanna know if the other campaigns for Heroes V are fun coz i just wanted to play with Academy but you need to finish all the other factions first...

[Angelspit]

The Inferno campaign is an oddity, as you often have to rely on speed and Sylvan troops to win. I thought it was more fun than the Haven tutorial, but things do get more interesting later on. However, the best campaigns are in the expansions in my opinion.

I think the Dungeon and Sylvan campaigns are the best. Haven campaign is a tutorial, Inferno campaign is a fake inferno campaign (same goes for Academy).

In Dungeon and Sylvan campaigns you get to play with your castles on most missions and utilize their fun racial aspects, as well as enjoy huge battles where you are at a severe number disadvantage.

I didn't liked Inferno coz you have Elvish creatures??? why!!! i think the campaigns should teach you to play with that faction, thanks to god i finished the Inferno campaings yesterday and now i'm with the necros...

[konfeta]

The Necros campaign is pretty good, I guess, but my beef with them is Markal's special ability; it makes it too easy.

[Grumpy Old Wizard]

I had fun with the campaigns but I was disappointed that once again the wizard did not get an academy campaign but got a combined campaign instead.

GOW

what is markals ability that makes it really easy?

[PhoenixReborn]

I think campaigns should require a good knowledge of how to play. I think a tutorial should be a seperate thing. The knight got gypped.

For me dungeon campaign was the most fun. In Tribes I had fun with the orc missions but I don't remember much else.

[konfeta]

All Undead neutrals automatically join you. Yeah. So.... You can't really lose.

[Aerosoldier]

Well i don't like necro's campaigns too, coz you play with haven's heroes and creatures, so there is any campaign that you play just with that faction?

Yes

For the most part, they aren't. Additionally, for some people, Sylvan Campaign Scenario 1 still has a bug that makes it unwinnable.

Stick with Heroes I-IV. Buy them if you haven't already.

[PhoenixReborn]

Right, no bugs in heroes 1-4.

[Aerosoldier]

I remember the Castle Campaign in Heroes III where you have to kill Orrin?? you know the uber powerfull hero, tried for 3 weeks and finally killed him long ago...

Strange. I played all campaigns, but don't remember any major bug, let alone one that makes a scenario unwinnable. I must have been lucky.

[konfeta]

For the most part, they aren't.

For the most part, they are. There are a few select campaigns which suck, and they are all in vanilla.

And my opinion is better then yours for unspecified reasons.

Well, I had fun with certain campaigns, but unexpectedly the ultimate best was the Sullivan campaign! Findan was a real joy to play with! Don't leave him without Light magic though; Resurrection is like air for him!!!
I liked Raelag too, but I had no idea what does the element stuff do!!!
And how come he was the only one that had empowered destructive spells!
Now I'm playing TOE campaign, and it looks promising!
Don't give up, take your own time but try to finish! Disappointment comes at the very end of H5 campaign, at least for me it did

I replayed Agrael's campaign before few days and crushed elves in both maps with Inferno creatures only. The only time Agrael had an Sylvan creature was on map 4 when I needed to sacrifice them for XP (aka giving them to Shadow Dragons).

In 3rd map, the neemy has three towns. Take over first town quickly and then rush to NW to take over 2nd town. Don't fight the phoenixes, but go straight north and then west when you hit the road.
Once you own this town, you are free to build up all you conquered and explore the map because the last town doesn't do anything for a long time. If you are careful, Gilraen will start moving when you explored 90% of the map and built your Inferno completely. Take him down and conquer the last town with ease.

On 4th map, go to underground (no need to rush... let OP build Inferno up). Once you build it up a bit and assemble a decent army, start conquering. The town you need to capture in order to complete the objective NEVER moves, so once you capture first three towns and kill all Sylvan heroes, you will have luxury of deciding when to attack. Use the time to explore the map and strenghten Agrael. Very soon you will be able to not just take over the capital, but also to crush garrisons šrotecting it.

The Inferno campaign, is quite dificult. Because, you must battle Sylvan Heroes and Troops. In the beggining is easy but the third mission starts to be very difficult, I think!

As I told in previous post, if you know what you are doing, it is very easy to use only Inferno troops to win. And I am not an expert in HoMM.
