HoMM III complete: Can't set difficulty?

Unread postby Metathron » 21 Jun 2009, 22:14

I'm firing up the old HoMM III campaigns I never finished, but the difficulty cannot be set. Is this an oversight or what??

No I don't think it;s a HoMM complete thing, I own the 3DO cds and also no adjustement to the difficulty ....
You can either agree with me, or be wrong...

Really? I think I remember being able to set the difficulty with RoE.

It was fine with RoE but in Complete it becomes something quite different. Not meaning to said truly impossible but certainly not desired.

:P

It is possible to choose the level of difficulty for SoD campaigns but not for AB or the RoE. Pol is correct, it used to be possible for the player to "choose" the level of difficulty for RoE campaigns too, but this was not an intented feature but a bug. If you first played a single scenario and then switched into campaign, the level of difficulty used in your single player session would "follow" to the campaign. This bug seems to have been fixed for the Complete and Platinum Edition.

I'm playing AB campaigns right now and I can't choose the difficult, and on RoE you can't too...

To summ things up: Shadow of Death was the one that introduced the so called player selectable campaign difficulty level. Prior to that all campaign missions were pre-set.
