Here are some of the best Faction Laws to get in Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era.

Best Army Laws in Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era

All army laws have a trend. It is either you get more recruitment or units for each recruitment, a weekly reset with some little stat bonuses, or a massive power increase to your army. There are slight differences in Faction and Army Laws per faction, so we will generalize these nodes to be applicable to all factions.

For Army Laws, there’s no reason not to take nodes that give you more recruitment growth, which are usually on the left side of the Army Faction Laws. They catapult your army’s growth and power, and eventually you’ll earn enough Faction Law Points to get the powerful nodes on the right to further strengthen your army.

For example, in Schism, you can increase all recruitment growth on the left side and get a massive army. At a certain point in the middle or endgame, you’ll get more Faction Law Points to only get the Tier 5 or Tier 6 creature bonuses, since most of your army should be upgraded to max. The same should go for other factions, with a tiny difference in how they work, since all factions have a theme around them.

Best Faction Laws in Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era

For Faction Laws, it is different for all factions, but the left side of the tree is always centered around the economy. Faction Laws that give a “one-time” bonus aren’t exactly enticing unless you are struggling to find a specific resource and you don’t want to use the marketplace to make an inefficient trade early in the game.

So, the best Factions Laws are nodes that give you daily resources like Mercury, Crystals, and others. Gold is also good. As for unique Faction Laws, here are some of the best for each faction:

Temple

Training Defense/Spell Power/Knowledge (these are separate laws) – Your heroes gain defense/spellpower/knowledge (best combined with Hero’s Blessing).

Architect’s Mastery – You can construct +1 building daily.

Power of Faith – All your Temple heroes can learn any spells of any tier.
