The Heroes Round Table

You lose all your REMAINING movement points. So that means, if you TP at the end of turn (i.e. after spending all the movement), you lose nothing. Feels a bit wrong, especially considering other adventure spells (Summon Creatures, Instant Travel) won't work if your movement is spent.

Battle Griffins + Vampirism + Fallen Knight (don't forget that Haven has Light AND Dark) is a very good combo. Unlimited retal that gets stronger with each hit, and brings killed creatures back is just too good to miss. If the enemy cannot kill more than half of them in one hit (or unless he has a l...

Actually you CAN change the starting skill, but only after you have leveled up a bit so that removing this particular skill won't bring your hero below level 1.

The map Warlords is included with all H5 versions AFAIK, but in HOF it changed a bit compared to what was in H5 original. TotE version is mostly the same as HOF one.

Try raising vampires and liches. Just don't raise too many liches. They are costly in DE, and not that useful for that cost. If you can, try to raise a few Lich Masters early (that is, before you can hire them in castle) - they will help to keep your army from losses (they cast Raise Dead so your h...

Probably because Ice Bolt can be improved via Cold Death ability to kill an additional creature (and often kill ballistas in 1 hit, which is VERY important), and Lightning spells have no such feature?

AFAIK you cannot use the Memory Mentor to remove skills/abilities that are a prerequisute for other abilities you have. So, to remove the 'junk', you'll have to remove Ultimate ability first.
So the choice is still the same: go for the ultimate or go for a set of good abilities.

The name Hell Baron reminds me of this:

Those are way older than WoG...

The mentor takes your exp and then immediately gives it back, so that you just have to re-level at once (and you can pick different skills this time, of course). You lose nothing (except for money).

You probably have to restart the mission. I was able to complete it just fine, so it's not like it's totally broken.

Yes, AOE damaging spells will be copied on marked friendly units. So pay attention when you cast that Fireball

Maybe he just had all his units immune to Armageddon? Obsidian Gargoyles are immune (unless hit by a central "falling rock"), and Magnetic Golems are even healed by Destructive magic, Armageddon included.

It's more of a multiplayer thing. In multi, Liches are rarely raised (and raising Dragons in multi is just bad, they cost so much DE for such a mediocre unit). Zombies or Skeletons, on the other hand, are useful there. And Vampires if your hero is Lucretia. Zombies do well against magic-oriented opp...

Zombies provide the most HP per unit of Dark Energy for a Necro to raise (and Skeletons provide the most damage per unit of DE). If you rely on magic (Destructive or Summoning with Phoenix) to win battles, they can be used effectively - they take a lot of time to kill, and Mark of the Necro placed o...

Warlock's Luck triggers when casting Fire Trap (the luck animation plays), but it does nothing. Trap damage doesn't increase.

Only use that I know of is for Might over Magic - if you have that ability, enemy SP in combat is reduced by half of yours. So, if you somehow got 4 Spellpower, the enemy will have 2 Spellpower less.

Acrane Crystal is VERY useful on the first Zehir mission. Do this: when the assasins join you, take them to the Hill Fort and retrain to Stalkers. Immediately after this you'll have to fight 100 Assasins (as the game thinks you tried to get rid of them), but 100 Stalkers will be with you, so defeati...

...Taking down a ballista is actually very difficult, it has 1100 health with previously mentioned skills, I think it's impossible to kill it before it gets its first 4 implosions off.... Try fighting an enemy who has Logistics->Swift Mind and Destructive->Cold Death (and Ice Bolt spell) and see ho...

If you have problems with other games after ToE install, then maybe you are low on disk space? ToE uses more RAM than the previous Heroes V versions, so it needs more space for the swap file. This doesn't explain why the problem temporarily goes away with reinstall though, but still you should check...

AFAIK Orlando has the same speciality as Vittorio - +1 Ballista attack per 2 levels. So that gives us (at lvl. 29) +14 attack. Expert War Machines gives Ballista 15 Attack, +3 from Ammo Cart, +1 (not sure about this) from the ring, +14 from speciality = 33 Attack. If he also has Flaming Arrows, then...
