Oh jesus it's 3 am.

Story of my life...

I just finished it for the third time, third playthrough, this time on Heroic. During the campaign, I was never bothered with the pesky PM strategy. Except for the final battle. On the other hand, I was not able to do the "hero stealing" (with Wulfstan, Gotai, etc) trick on the last map, I...

You just have to outgrow the last town. With 4 or 5 towns, it's easy if you wait enough. But you have to waste ne time : as sson as you curse an academy, develop it right away ! there are tons of resources on the map so it should not be difficult. You must enable the creature production abilities of...

I tried to kill the Death Knights myself a couple of time but I never managed to do so. On my 3rd try there were zounds of them, 4 stacks of 248. I managed to kill most of them but my army was torn to pieces, especially with their cursed strike. Anyway the elemental quest is the way to go. They just...

Heroic 3.1 I was never attacked by any Orc during this mission. Last time I played it years ago I remember this terrible mission beginning with unrelenting attacks from Brown and Teal. I quickly cleaned the neutral stacks and captured Brown town. Then I shipped towards green town but the pirates wer...

Damn, I'm surprised that no modder hasn't fixed this yet...
Thanks for the info!

I'm currently playing ToE and was wondering if such a mod exists.
I know I can just play the H3 mp3 but I'd rather something which would play the right theme (for instance, necropolis theme) when I' am actually in the right city.
Any thoughts ? My researches yielded nothing.

I would recommend NOT to use the Upgrade Fort. By doing so Ornella was more powerful but as I went to the Fort, a strong Haven army led by Dougal used the portal and started to roam in this area. I was unable to upgrade the troops I recruited during the subsequent weeks... Fortunately, I went back t...

For the first fight, I found out that the only strategy for winning on Heroic is to make all your possible to take the less amount of damage possible by his fireballs. Which means, do not cluster your troops so the fireballs hit only 1 stack of your troops maximum. I just split the skeletons into 2x...

Heroic Difficulty WTF is this mission, seriously ? First mission of the campaign, the fight againts Zoltan is unbalanced. Although the tooltip says it has lots of skeletons, that cheater has 280 skeletons champions as I attack him during week 1... I've tried dozens of time but I was just unable to k...

If you are playing Markal, then you should be able to recruit every stack of undead troops on the map. Try to find some Dragons stacks on the islands, they will join you.

2.1 Hard Just completed this mission. Laszlo came quite early for me, the snow area was still in fog of war, and I just dug for the Tear of Asha and built the Anvil. He chased Duncan as well as Wulfstan and had a huge army, with 30 Paladins and 500+ Crossbowmen. I had no chance. I Tp'd both Duncan a...

2.1 Hard After a few restarts, I managed to capture the town neither by rushing nor by waiting my time. The best for me was to balance between those two strategies (although I captured the town rather quickly). There were no Dragons in the city, only Haven troops and Dwarves. What did the trick is t...

For me capturing the north town during the first week is absolutely impossible. Don't know if this is version-related but enemy troops just NEVER attack my elementals or my phoenix. Instead he focuses on my lowly troops and wipe them. I'm sure I could definitely kill'em all if they'd focus summoned ...

On 1.6, I have a graphic problem with this map. The night has not fallen on Ashan, as it should if I'm correct, so I have a standard light in the world map. During fights I have a very very very bright screen, and I suppose those two problems are related. i tried to change video settings but it did ...

The purple player did not attack my capitol city before several weeks. As he came for the first time, he stayed stucked on the shore for several turns. It was cool for me, as my Findan was able to conquer town 2 and come back to learn Resurrection in the Capitol, while killing the purple hero with h...

Just finished it on hard for the third time. I am totally disappointed as I DID NOT have empowered spells. What is the reason of this ? I'm so frustrated because I wanted to play Raelag the destructive-style. Anyway. This map is bugged. If I end a turn with either one of my heroes in a garrison or i...

I can't believe how easy I just beat this mission just by changing my strategy. I followed this guide and tried to rush Godric but I was utterly destroyed again and again every time his Castle troops spawned, at week 2 or 3. After many, many tries, I decided to explore the map. So my Markal went by ...

Just finished this mission, indeed I had 3 times the +10 to all stats event. WHile I was happy with that, I regret it because the AI heroes are so weak compared to me. Given the number of magic wells on this map, you cannot fall out of mana so you can always outnumber the enemy's elemental troops wi...

Finally beat this level. I captured the second town asap but did not go south to take the third. Oddly, the pink heroes did not come into my territory. In the end of the game, I tried to capture the third necropolis and the pink player immediately invaded my territory. So I don't know if there is so...
