The Heroes Round Table

The problem with ballista is that it is a single unit and once craeture stacks grow, the single unit loses its relative strength. Therefore, as Pol said, it can be a major force only in small maps / rush strategy or maps specifically designed for it. Hence from the heroes mentioned in opening post O...

Against neutrals and AI Inferno is a very efficent town. Devils, especially with force field and high mana can take on pretty much everything. If armageddon is available, a second main hero does efretogeddon and map clearing goes really fast and no lower level units are needed. Demon farming is IMO ...

The amount of data available in thieves guild depends on number of taverns controlled. I guess that 2 tiers count as two ordinary taverns? I do not have Hota running at the moment. Personality says whether the player is human or AI and the latter can have explorer, builder and fighter personalities ...

A general rule is that the higher the difficulty, the faster one needs to strike. Armies are collected as you press forward. In specific maps, like in campaigns a different strategy may be needed though. Unfortunately I do not remember the SoD campaigns that well. However, many people have completed...

Wow! That must have taken a lot of effort! Downloading now... (although may not be able to try immediately)

Not very active, but still functioning... We probably need a HodgePodge to initiate some interesting discussions. How have you been?

The score is certainly impressive. Whether it is some kind of world record or not remains unknown since many people have achieved great scores, but most of these playthroughs were over 20 years back. Who play MM6 today, probably play some kind of modified version. Also, AFAIK most people do not cons...

Abusing turn base and real time in battle is kind of heartless and reloading for loot is quite obviously a cheat strategy. If you want good gear safe and fair, better go to circus. If you want a challenge in the game then a classic test was solo peasant (lvl 0) knight. Dunno if the lvl 0 character s...

From the abovementioned movies I'd cast my support for the Matrix, Kill Bill, the original Star Wars trilogy. There are others (a.g. Seven samurai and Avatar), which I do like, but would probably not call as favourites. From the darker side The Crow has certainly left an imprint into my mind in diff...

Thank you for being a part of these communities. Astral Wizard - that was, what, another millennium. Time goes fast...

Does this not work? http://heroes5.wikia.com/wiki/Adding_Loading_Pictures_and_Thumbnails If it does not work, when what happens&does not happen? Once upon a time when the grass was still green I used to know such things, but the memories arepretty much gone. EDIT. Pre-ToTE tips and discussion, m...

May I ask what happened?

Amazing progress! I found only windows H1 on my harddrive, and although the mod installed without errors, not all new graphics appear. But I'll try to find a DOS version to test it out.

From the images one could see that the sorceress has been replaced by Kreegans. Town lineups are somewhat altered and certain graphics got recoloured and a few redrawn. Considering the original style of campaigns, I guess there are no changes in those maps. Downloaded the mod, but have not had time ...

Greetings and salutations. How can I add a prompt to random text panels for heroes 3 with sod? As in, fight these creatures yes or no. Do I add "prompt yes/no" at the end of the text or what? AFAIR in H3:SoD you cannot make choice textwindows. Whether creatures fight or not depends on arm...

Don't worry Panda, the next nice and round number with no sharp edges is 80 000 for him. For a perfectly round post count he could reset the count to 0, but that would be cheating, so 80 000 it is!

For me the main reason not to be a fan of the wait button is that it allows significantly more abusive battletactics. It can make PvP more interesting, but at the same time it greatly reduces the challenge from PvE. A much improved AI and/or changes in battle system are required to "fix" i...

Could be pontiac firebird? This year model.

Happy new year!

This is not "similar" to Might and Magic VII, this is literally the same engine, same character portrait, same inventory and items... At least the video shows stuff that looks exactly like M&M7. Maybe it explains: https://www.celestialheavens.com/forum/10/10622?p=369372#p369372

It is the day. And been so for 100 years now!
