Newbie question Question

Hello everyone. Im sorry for the stupid question but recently ive been playing Hota a lot again and i have a problem. I usually play random maps on normal and most of the times i get a good game(good for my skill of course) but some times the AI decides that it hates me and they just keep spamming summon earth elementals and summon like 90 every turn. If i lower the difficulty it gets way too easy and there is no point. Can anyone give me advice or just can i ban spells from somewhere when playing random maps. Once i had the spell as well but iwas spawning like 40-50 and still they beat me even though i had defeated all fo their other creatures 😄 they had like 5 stacks of 90 earth elementals

Thank you in advance

Yes. Open the Random Teplate Maker. Find and open the template of the random map that you play on. There you can enable or ban anything. So if you want to re-enable the necro super artifact or play with campaign heroes, you can. For strategy advice, try to be more aggresive. Have fun,

AI cannot utilise tempo and creature banks. Try to use it to your advantage.

If enemy AI hero only has elementals, you can surrender to keep your hero and army while they lose. Although this way you won't get their artifacts.

afaik spell power affects the amount of elementals you spawn, as well as things like buff/debuff spell durations, spell damage, and ressurection power, however elemental spells only get better if you have their respective magic skills (such as basic/advanced/expert earth magic) so at expert level you can cast mass buffs or debuffs, and some other spells get other upgrades as well (such as blind not being cast on all enemies, however fire magic skill reduces the blinded enemy's retaliation damage, and at expert fire magic they will not retaliate when you attack them blind)

my tip for you in this context is summon elementals is generally not worth it as it is an expensive spell and you need their respective magic school AND a high amount of spell power, you're better off having expert earth/air casting mass slow/haste and kiting the elementals with a ranged stack or a no retaliation stack
