Duel Mode Suggestion

Unread postby Bahototh » 09 Jun 2007, 17:45

Don't know if anybody else thought of it, but here it goes:

I would like to have an option for duelling players to "compose" their armies for duels. For example, a total 5000 hitpoints (could be defined)
The players would then strategically make up their stacks as they saw fit.
It would be fun to try out different combat tactics against each other.

Anybody with me on this? Don't think it would be too hard to add to the game, either. Only a screen where you arrange troops then have a go at the other players army.

Patch 1.5 already gave us that. Now, we have to wait until Patch 2.2 for them to catch up and do the same thing for HoF.

Id go further and say that what 1.5 gave us is still not perfect. There is still the urge to change heroe's skills to our liking. One possibility would be with a system in which the heroes start with 0 skills and a predetermined number of skills points to be devided as wished.

Duel mode would then finallly mean, the use of strategy in all stages in order to build up your heroes and troops for battle.

This would be totally perfect for testing new possibilities and combinations as you guys can imagine.

Hey Wolfsburg, that's what they gave us.

Dfortae at Heroes community completely redesigned the duel heroes for balance, picking all the skills and armies and artifacts...it's fun.

Duels

I'm not sure I have the latest patch, but on my version, I can't arrange any army. They all come pre-defined with the heroes. My idea was that you pick exactly the troops and stacks you want.

Patch 1.5 has the duel editor. If you go into the map editor from tools you can select create duel preset. It's very easy to use. Once you've done it, in game in duel mode you can select custom heroes...

Thank you very much, PhoenixReborn, didn't know that!
Cheers!

Duel mode generator

Unread postby Bahototh » 15 Jun 2007, 14:52

Ok, I found the tool to make my heroes.
Now, when I start up the map editor function and try too make a new hero setting, the whole thing crashes!

Does this work only with 1.5 (I have HoF installed) or what?

Thanx for any tips.

Well if the editor is crashing for you that's no good.

You can access Dfortae's heroes from this thread:

http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.p ... genumber=2

You'll have to unzip it and place the .h5m files into the duel presets folder (near the maps folder).

This will work even if you can't get the editor to work.

It's a very common error, at least in the German community. Un-installing Heroes completely and re-installing helped for about 15 players who all had the same problem. It is important to delete all the content from your heroes folder after un-installing, because the a lot of files are not removed by the un-install command.

Good luck!
True heroes don't need a grid.
