The Heroes Round Table

i've recently started playing heroes II again, just finished broken alliance on expert without much problems. i think the impossible difficulty won't be much of a problem either (it wasn't befor). but i'm going to play a few hotseat games this summer, what do i need to change in playstyle? versus th...

each use of the Raise Dead spell now makes a 20% decrease of the target unit’s maximal HP till the end of the combat

doesn't this make following raise dead spells even more powerfull?

is it possible to post a link to this page http://www.celestialheavens.com/119 somewhere? that'd save some time

warlords (or what's that 8 player ffa map called, where everyone is with one other player on a quarter of the map. crossings?) is an excellent map for playing academy since there are so many mines, and you can usually capture the other player on your island within the first 2 weeks making sure you h...

With mark of the necromancer,you can do it infinite times.Its the best skill necro has.

i didn't take dark magic, and never had any problems with mana since i went for enlightenment (intelligence) and sorcery (mana regen)

visit all stat boosting places on all maps, this is really important in all campaign missions. fi there's a knowledge booster on the first map making it impossible to get to the second map with a knowledge of 1

i didn't have any problems on map 2. i went for summoning magic, logistics, enlightenment and sorcery. i first went to the right part, collecting the wights if i remember it right. playing with 1.2 on herioc. just don't go near the shores too early, since that seems to make orange come to the island...

1) you gotta check the box "show multiplayer maps" or smth like that for normal FFA maps. 2) i only got one dvd 3) recruiting creatures isn't done by clicking on the respective buildings like in homm3 (well it's possible, but not all that easy) you can just click on one of the thingy's on the right

No,making the game as close to real life is not the priority,but it sure is something worth pursuing.And as I said,stacks are just a model.And that every stack ocupies the same amout of space is a problem of that model.Not the only problem that is.But it can be fixed.Maybe not now,maybe not in 10 y...

it's especially powerfull in a campaign, cause in normal maps, once you can summon a tough phoenix, you'll usually have lots of other troops. but i'm playing the campaign with markal now, and in the last mission, you start with just a few troops, but i can beat anything by just summoning a 1500hp ph...

(question is: what was a priority for ubi?)

making money?

weird they are working on a add on, while the game itself still has lots of bugs that need to be fixed in a patch asap imho

combat precision (increases archer attack) counterstrike shield (reduces damage by 15-30%) quicksand force field sorrow (lowers morale) misfortune (lowers luck) fire shield (a real one, like the efreets in h3) slayer (if the tier 7 should get more powerfull, else it isn't usefull) mirth (increases ...

1) the more creatures the more coloured smoke

2) what map and where?

when i play on hard/herioc, i usually stop playing after about 7 weeks. the ai only gives trouble during the first 5/6 weeks, if you manage to survive those weeks, you've practically won, so there's little point in playing any further imho

o ok. thnx for saving me a whole lot of time

why not? afaik there isn't any time limit, and you could take all the time in the world to get 50*7=350 elves, 50*9=450 archers and 50*22=1100 peasants. the peasants will make sure you have enough money to buy the other troops. you'll only need a whole lot patience

about godric, in the first inferno mission, what happens if you beat godric? it'll take quite some time to build up enough troops (the peasants make sure you have enough gold at any time), but i'm curious to see what happens

can also be used when you lost. to 1500k skellies or a rushing deleb for instance

ever seen 1000 people take up the same space as 1? ever seen 1 guy on a horse carrying thousands of troops? ever build a farm and magically found 22 peasants in it immediately? ever seen a real dragon? it's a fantasy game in my opinion. you can compare it to real life, but using real life as an argu...

i thought the romans were better organized and used divide and conquer tactics. but you cant compare homm to real life. though the romans' logistics played a important role in conquering the world... and it's a good thing that lower tier creatures remain important during the entire game imho. in hom...
