The Heroes Round Table

I'd go with the 7th. It wasn't short like 8th, but also not long and tedious like 6th.

With 5th (IIRC the one with Xeen world), too many puzzles. I hate puzzles.

Or you can feed up a monster with u'r artifacts.

Just put everything in one expendable stack. Let the stack fight some monster. Once it was defeated, the artifact went to the monster stack's inventory.

There was plenty they could do. For example they could give closure to Archibalds story not just dump him on island, then probably kill him along with 90% of Enroths population, or actually utilize Nicolais character, not just make bad refference in MM IX. Yes, but there would always be the same ov...

Story can go forever, yet I suspect that be what exactly JVC didn't want to happen. Enroth was good, yes, but with the Kreegans and elemental lords, the thing was already saturated. Not much room for anything anymore. Even with the potentials of dark elves and trolls as playable race in MM 8, it won...

Minotaurs are a ground unit with nothing really special about them and a very expensive building resource cost. Despite the low hp, I think I have to go with Thunderbird because it gives the extra travel speed so early and really helps carry the race. Actually, there be 3 specials with Minotaur &am...

He he ... XL map meant eXtra-Large or eXtra-Long game ? There be some basic difference there. U can play small maps where u spent months doing nothing but moving around, or large maps where someone can jump di Dimension Door right next to u within the next 2 weeks. What was what ? How many towns, ne...

Just dump them somewhere. Make u'r own dragon's hoard. Dump them around u'r main castle. Looks nice

I'll have to give Heroes II a try then. I wasn't sure between Heroes II and Heroes V which to try next. The lack of balance with Heroes IV sounds unappealing. Actually, none of the Heroes series was balanced. If u want balance, play chess. It confers different play style, not balance. Like what sai...

H 2 :

Elf; Robin Hood in Peter Pan cos play.

H 4 :

Earth Elemental; moai (or whatever it is called. U know, giant statue head).

H 5 :

Fire Elemental; hydralisk in gas station.

Funny, I still play this now

That looked lot like what was done in Disciples series.

Any tips for how to begin, other advice would be appreciated! This game is fun, glad I discovered it. Will have to check out the first 2 games and perhaps Heroes 5 at some point. Man, I'd be hate to say this, but the best way to enjoy this game is, just forget everything what were written above, ju...

U should get Chaos and Death to becme a badass lich.

There be nothing like beating the game with lich

Yeah, must be cause there be some certain people keep necromancing it

IIRC they be same in 7 & 8, the max limit would be around 25.

Thing is, it is extremely rare for anything enchanted with Armsmaster to go that high.

Just how all that stat increase affect u'r performance I've never really understand.

What, did u wanna ask who be the best archer under any condition or the best hero to do the scene like u showed ?

I'd say, just about anyone u mentioned can do with that particular scene, but that didn't necessarily means anyone o them is better overall than the other.

I really liked this series, especially the 1st & 4th ones.

However, there be games u might want to play again & again, yet there be games u might not want to play more than once or twice.

Sadly, for me, this series belongs to the second category.

There's barely any posting around here, can't this place be more lively :) not the barely any posters on three-quarters of the time :( . Well, considering this forum is for games / game series which span for more than a dozen years already, I'd consider this to be a whole lot livelier than say, any...

With hirelings you intend to dump, you should still go ahead and train them the same time as your starter hero (If starter can train 3 levels, train hirelings 3 levels as well since you already took the 8 days per level and gold is not a problem). U still have to pay for their training. If u don't ...
