Some skills are not available for certain hero classes, which means they can only acquire them from [[Scholar (Adventure Map)|Scholar]]s, [[Witch Hut]]s (except for [[Necromancy]] and [[Leadership]], if not allowed by a map-maker), [[Seer's Hut]]s, [[Event]]s or [[Pandora's Box]]es.

{{user commentary|

* Another good thing about the [[Castle Gate]] is that one hero can be used to defend all towns.

* The manual states that Inferno armies have great hand-to-hand attack units, and are slightly hampered at the lower levels by a lack of flying units until the devils arrive. The statement is supported by the fact that compared to their levels, many of the Inferno's creatures have relatively high speed values and maximum damage values. However, lack of flying units is untrue in the sense that Efreeti and Efreet sultans are definitely noteworthy adversaries. While Inferno troops are great for attacking they are not strong defenders which means that combat strategy with Inferno should be based on first strike.

* Another weakness in Inferno's army is lack of shooters. Gogs and Magogs are the slowest creatures in Inferno's arsenal, which makes them a somewhat liability considering the mobility of heroes. Additionally, usefulness of Magogs' special ability to throw fireballs is controversial as they may inflict damage to allied troops as well (fixed in Horn of the Abyss as they can target any hex).

* [[Castle Gate]]: A life-saver on maps where you control more than one Inferno town.

* [[Pit Lord]]'s [[Summon Demons|Demon summon]] ability: Lets you horde demons. Consider using [[Marius]] whose specialty is [[Demon]]s as your main hero if using this strategy (she will increase Demons' speed as well). If using this strategy, there is almost no need to spend time and resources to upgrade Imps and Gogs or to even build the upgraded buildings since the upgrade does not increase their health (see [[Summon demons]]).

* The -2 Luck decrease of enemies' Luck is a lot more useful in {{Hota}} than without the mod because it introduced negative [[Luck]]. Negative Luck gives every stack a chance of 1/12, 1/6, 1/4 with -1, -2, -3 luck to do about half damage only. Assuming the opponent has 7 stacks, on average 0.58/1.17/1.75 stacks will only do about half damage every round if the opponent has -1/-2/-3 luck. This is a significant advantage. Additionally equipped with artifacts that decrease the opponent's luck, this can prove to be devastating, especially against wandering creatures who do not have a hero increasing their luck through artifacts.

* Familiars have 7 Speed. You can give them to secondary heroes to increase their movement points without affecting your primary hero's army strength. If you want, you could even hand out Cerberi for a speed of 8.

* If all buildings can be built, Inferno costs the most gold to fully build up. ([[Castle Gate]] alone costs 10,000 gold and is not essential; Furthermore, Imps' and Gogs' upgraded buildings are not necessary when using the Demon Farming Strategy).

*Lacking in the [[Heroes|Hero]] department. (When using Demon Farming, Marius is not terrible at least, and Octavia gives gold when playing at Difficult/Impossible Difficulty).

*[[Imp]]s and [[Familiar]]s are weak first level units, and have no redeeming features save their speed (the [[Familiar]]s' [[Magic Channel]] ability is hardly noticeable). (But, they can be sacrificed to be raised as Demons).

*The Inferno produces the least hit points per week of all the towns. (But it can [[Summon Demons]] which partially makes up for it. Also, it has a 20% chance of getting [[Resurrection]] in the Mage Guild).
