Campaign bug in v1.6?

Hi all, I am replaying the campaign with the latest patch. In Sylvan's mission 3 "the defence", I noticed the purple doesn't attack as scripted, rather it moves depending on the defensive strength of my main town. So if I leave a large enough force at my capitol purple will never attack. I...

@Vhilhu & BTOG46

But nowadays every game HAS to be 3D. :devious:


@The Mad Dragon

Stronghold is a realistic Castle Sims. If you are into medieval European Castle you are in for a treat.

the Syreen commander (you know the one .... she's the one you can get into the sack!) would have to get a mention ....

@Caradoc, Return to Krondor was listed. I just remembered another series, Summoner I & II As I see it, the list on the page is heavily D&D oriented. And for the record I have played about 15 of them, although I think I have only complete (as in see the ending) a few: Planescape, fallout I&am...

Okay so I exagerated a bit. IMHO it's unfair to compare older games with newer games. The complexity just doesn't match. Did it occur to anyone that older games are "simpler" to test? Also the patching process actually made it possible developers to release a game and patch it later. Looki...

despite all its fault, I enjoyed HoMMV quite a bit. To be honest, whoever can claim they were every satisfied with the first release of a game. ;| (Besides game from Blizzard of course.)

Most (if not all) of the Japanese RPG is missing from the list. Like: FF series (only XI was there...) Suikoden series Xenosaga Chrono Trigger (Classic!!!!) Chrono Cross Breath of Five Series (The fifth installment is exceptionally classy, one of the best RPG ever written, style and story wise) Drag...

MMR is especially viable for Academy for a few reasons: 1. high knowledge 2. School (? The building that gives you extra spells). 3. Most Academy heroes start with magic related skills and magic enhancing specialization (Jhora and Nur comes to mind) 4. Mark of the Wizard. While less powerful than Em...

The AI is horribly weak, even in Heroic. They'll have more troops, but that's about it. They neither use them well nor the spells well. So far I have only had problems with A.I when I am using dungeon (although lately I have improved on that by taking money from chest... dungeon troops and buildings...

Most memorable Character

In order of preference: 1. Kerrigan (The ultimate Queen Bitch of the Universe, nuff' said) 2. Shodan (Whoever thought AI could be more scary than human? Evil too, I like) 3. Solid Snake (Everyone likes a darkly handsome, macho special agent, especially if he has big guns ;)) 4. Chun Li (First, she i...

For me: Story: Starcraft, no doubt. Kerrigan was and still is and probably will be for a long time my favorite evil bitch and a character I'll ALWAYS remember from all the games I've played (and mind you, I played a LOT of games, and Biara was/is/always will be a clown compared to her).

For my case, I have been building my Wulstan (?) towards ultimate, so basically I just get ultimate with Wulfstan and wipe out the final castle. Absolute protection is just mean.

Hi, Just out of curiousity, I tried a game on the said mystic vale with Heroic difficulty. The only thing I can say is ... It's an eye opener. There are a lot tricks I pick up that I usually don't observe in my campaign game. Like: 1. Always split into small stacks of 1s. This will make enemy waste ...

That was, I believe, a test with only a player to see how fast academy can build up on the map No Man's Land, since the screenshots only shows one hero and fighting against neutrals. I believe this is a result from a challenge posted in AoH where people challenge them to duplicate the same result in...

@DL who wrote : Maybe the split sprite wasp swarm tactic would be the best counter for this tactic (ugrade those pixies?).

Anyway MF = Mine Flag? Highly unlikely in my opinion. Nobody would play a game with an explicit rule that you can't flag mines. I think it's taken for granted by everyone. If MF = Mine Flag, the rule taken as a whole would be "Hit and Run tactics can only be used in Mine Flag, but not in Hero ...

Hey,

I have a suggestion, why don't you guys duplicate the tournament thingy here? See if the players here will pick it up and have different results. It's not all about the Academy Heroes you know. If I am not wrong, this week's line up is who? Dougal vs Kasper, right?
