The Heroes Round Table

Hello, all :) Recently me and a few fellow students at University of Latvia developed Gamedipper - a system for finding games similar to a game you know by searching for similar words in reviews about games. I was asked to inform gamers outside of our university about this, since we're participating...

Here's my idea, as a fix for something that annoys me to no end - if you lose a town with a Capitol to someone who already had a Capitol, yours gets demolished. Is it possible to make it so that your capitol remains and a single player can own multiple Capitols (yet still remain unable to build a Ca...

The screenshot shows that Tome of Air and Spellbinder's Hat are both banned. Eagle Eye and Scholar, if I remember correctly, do not give level 5 spells. If there is a Conflux town on the map, an opponent may have seized it and built the Rainbow there, and spell banning doesn't really affect that. I ...

And I don't know what TE or ERA stand for. Would someone please tell me?

Here's a question - why? Isn't AB > SoD? I've definitely lived under that assumption for a very long time...

Salamandre, that's just wrong.

Anyone played with Karmic battles enabled? Try it! Ahh, yes, Karmica battles are endless fun! The only thing I sometimes wish for is to have Neutral Unit Bonuses also affect the Karmic battle creatures. That is generally my wish mid-game, because in the beginning I already tend to have a slightly d...

Ojcar, don't worry about cheesy tactics and whatnot. I play similarly too. At least I definitely use Warfare, as the separate skills were just useless, and on occasion, if my army is very weak, I use berserk too. I don't use the 10% growth trick, I just enable the daily 4% army growth. And I like th...

InfernalBrute wrote:Man this game is REALLY well polished, from the flavor of each town, to the cool monster animation, music, sound effects, even the interface and game options is top notch, and WoG even improved on that with new gameplay elements.

And that's the reason why people are still playing it.

Personally I find the summon elemental spells to be useless in combat. The script that lets you summon them on the adventure map is definitely a source of a couple tons of problems, but in combat that thing is lame. Generally because when any opponent has reached the point where they can summon 100 ...

My advice would be not to hire so many heroes. I only hire 1 extra hero on the first day for his troops, and then don't hire any more for several months. Personally I also enable any scripts that make neutral battles harder, and while I don't know if they also affect AI battles vs neutrals, I defini...

Starcraft II tops the list then, doesn't it? :D by far not. :) I think i can safely say, that 'Duke Nukem Forever' (DNF) is the King of all Vaporware Products (announced 1997, still not finished) Hope HotA wont go the same way :P Never heard of that particular project... Starcraft II is about the o...

I got suspicions that the AI is cheating: * I have chosen the option to ban DD on my map. I`ve also banned all artifacts that can give DD (like Air Magic Tome, Spellbinders Hat). The AI has DD - how is that possible? I have to double check if spell banning stops this, but possibly grail in the Conf...

I may not be very familiar with MM history, not having played MM I through V, but I know some of where the sci-fi comes in. And I still say it has no place in the game. After all, just think - the moment you get your hands on blasters, nothing can stand up to you. It's just too damn unbalanced. And ...

If on the subject of Expert Dispel, there is one thing that would be nice - the ability to choose to cast it either in Expert or Advanced skill level, so that if I need to remove an effect from a single creature I do not have to remove every effect on the field along with the original target. That w...

Thank you very much, this does indeed work for all three games. Don't know what I would have done without your help!

And where could I find those?

Thanks, Warmonger, for the link... It is not, however, something I was looking for, if only for the simple reason that the Lodman utility, which seems to be the one used for extracting .lod files, refuses to work correctly. So far, I've attempted to extract the contents of MM6 and MM7 .lod files. MM...
