My Perspective of the Game
Regards to tips of the game, the gameplay and technic is similar to that of its predecessors. I would just head straight into my perspective of the game.
My favorite race have changed from warlocks (Dungeon in this game) to Castle. The human empire forms a very well diverse army with strong range making up of marksmen and zealots. Their melee comprising of champions, pikemens and crusaders are able to travel far and do considerable amount of damage. Lastly the flying units of royal griffins and archangels are enough to seal the deal. Griffins are able to fly over obstacle and have a good travel range. Archangels are the elites in this game as they have high stats, able to fly across entire map in a single turn, able to resurrect fallen troops in battle and lastly cause they look so badass with their big wings and flaming swords when they strike. The archangels are a huge threat if you are going against them and should not be taken lightly.
The stats of the almighty archangels!
As for my hero, I would usually learn all the magical traits as I find them more useful in my build. I will learn wisdom, earth magic and water magic. Wisdom is to master all 5 levels of skills from the mage guild. Earth magic is a must to learn town portal and to choose a town of your preference to teleport to. Earth magic also increase damage of the spell implosion which is the strongest offensive spell in the game. Water magic is for mass prayer which makes your army OP upon casting, it boosts their speed,movement distance,attack,defense and damage.
As for my remaining traits, I would usually learn logistic as it allows my hero to move further in each turn n my remaining slots will be to sorcery and attack.

The introduction of set artifacts and being able to carry more slots than before just make the game more interesting as you can boost your hero stats up more to benefit the entire army. Set artifacts also give army bonus like spells buff if you got the entire set. My playing style is to usually go head in with a strong head. I would seldom distribute my army into different hero to conquer. The lost of troops is higher that rate and thus losing to bigger margin then comparing to the opponent.
