The Heroes Round Table

As far as I know, the artifacts that appear on a map are random. I have found Tomes a few times on Subterranean (think that's how you spell it) Treasures, but in theory they can appear on any map. Tomes are great, but for some reason the Light one doesn't have Teleport, which was annoying because wi...

I have only now seen the gameplay video. This is going to be awesome! The Mothership's blackhole ability looked amazing, and now I begin to wonder if my computer can cope. (and hopefully my lovely Mutalisks will regain their Glaive Wurms...)

They can't make the Seige Tank redundant, General Duke would turn in his grave! (if he weren't killed by the Zerg) They've already got rid of the Firebat and the Vulture... Looking forward to seeing the new Zerg units, and not only to see if the Hydralisk and Mutalisk have survived.

In Heroes V if you've seen an area once you can always see it. That includes when the enemy moves there. Having not played Heroes IV I can't compare, but it was the same in Heroes III...

Hopefully they don't give him an existing speciality but an original one (unlike Freyda & Duncan in HOF).

They do look great! Still not sure about the other Titan though.

Not if it's done right... and at least then you'd have a game deciding battle instead of a number of turns. In my experience (such as it is), the longer/larger games do have a few battles that depends the outcome. They're usually the ones where the skills you gave your hero (both might and magic) m...

In the trailer it says something about there being 'over 180 units'. Unless my Maths has truly failed me 8 towns with 21 units gives 168, and when you add the neutrals from HV and HOF you get to 177 (there are 9?). Does this mean there are going to be more neutrals, or have they done their sums wron...

Awesome! I can't wait until September.

It is possible to beat magic with just might, but it depends a lot on what skills/artifacts you've got. If you can boost/lower the Initative, Speed and Morale of your/their units you stand a fair chance. Things like Protection and Magic Resistance help a lot as well (especially if you're Marbas or F...

Amazon has it for £16.99.

Hopefully there'll be more neutral units this time around. HOF added a few more, but 8 (?) isn't many.

Perhaps if the neutral units also occassionally had weeks so random stacks of them appeared they'd make more of an effort? (plus I think I've only seen a Manticore twice)

You should be able to build the bone dragon structure in the cursed towns and Lorekeep. Aren't there any neutral stacks on the map? There were when I played.

Thanks Elvin, sometimes the simplest answer is the best one.

'(Something) Voice'. Hope they tell us what the new hero abilities are soon...

The video looks great. I can't wait for this to come out. Hope there's a demo, seeing as it's stand-alone...

On this screenshot, what's the skill behind the description? I don't recognise the picture.

205! Took me forever to get past 100 (this is not a touchpad game)

I find that the factions are fairly equal, though in my opinion Academy's L5&6 units are bit weak compared to the other towns (Djinn die far too easily). Inferno is also quite poor at the beginning unless you've got Deleb or the Succubus hero (Jezebeth?). Grawl can be useful too. Am I the only p...

The original Necromancy raised skeletons after every battle, and one of the Necromancy abilities you could choose was to raise Skeleton Archers instead (which was a little overpowering as you could have 100's of them in 2/3 weeks!). When they switched to the Dark Energy model (1.5 and 2.1 respective...

'If you have Heroes V or Hammers of Fate, Tribes of the East will allow you to increase the level of your old characters by an extra ability point.' Hopefully this means we can get another skill point (or whatever you get when you go up a level). My Wulfstan beat Laszlo 1 level away from Absolute Pr...

Thanks Wraith. I didn't realise that they were there (I tend to only look at CH). Pit Spawn will be deadly against lower tier creatures (except Dungeon ones perhaps?). Coupled with the Arch Demon's Summon Other you could get them right in the thick of it (bit like with the Horned Leaper's aptly name...
