The Heroes Round Table

Pardon me for asking what must seem a silly question, but why is Deleb considered so overpowered?

Not to mention it'd be kinda hard to locate the dead Wraith without the scythe there

I like Archangels, good mix of speed and damage, durable and flying... the ability to resurrect is always a plus. Not so big on Seraphs though. Dragon Golems... oh how I miss you. Yes! Dragon Golems were one of the most fearsome lvl 4s in HIV - first strike AND negate first strike were a killer combo.

Did you patch your game halfway through the mission? I had something like that happen to me, only the game crashed to the desktop.

Without a doubt, Academy. A city floating in the clouds - I think the designers pulled it off superbly.

The orchestra solo in the middle of the Haven theme is second to none.

Which version is ur game patched to? On earlier versions there's this bug that prevents the respawning of Nicolai if you kill him BEFORE getting the phoenixes or killing the spectral dragons.

Ofc, I hope everyone knows that having creatures from the same faction and the hero as well increases the Morale by +2, hmm? It's quite a big boost in morale compared to earlier HOMM versions, where all creatures of same alignment simply meant a +1 to morale. Makes mixing units of different faction...

If you look back to a previous post of mine, you will see I was referring to the dwarves. Because I did not mention them by name, you thought -- with good reason, since the thread is about them -- I was talking about the barbarians. About them, I definitely agree they are among the strongest factio...

Wow, for 2 seconds I actually thought he might be serious... Shame on me

Blood furies simply can't be beat. They almost function like a ranged unit

One thing that limits their usefulness, though, is against the AI heroes/other players. Enemy heroes have an obscene tendency to target the furies, and with their low growth you can't really replenish them very easily.

Against neutrals Orcs are arguably one of the best creepers, their blood rage ability can take a boatload of damage. Best of all it doesn't cost resources like Rune Magic. However I still find Rune Magic more powerful in the late-game, but that's just me.

Besides being fast, H4's Giant Mantis had the cool Bind ability:) A flying lvl-7 Treant... what's not to like?

Sorry, I meant Expert Summoning. It gives you up to 8 mines, compared with a measly 2 for no expertise.

A halfling faction would be cool. They could be a neutral faction of trickery and thievery. Tier 1: Slinger (ranged) Tier 2: Stag Beetle Rider (melee/large) Tier 3: Serpentfly/Dragonfly (flyer) Tier 4: Swashbuckler (melee chain-fighter with reach attack) Tier 5: Satyr (melee/caster) Tier 6: Bard (r...

Though Fire Trap and Weakness are some great one also. Weakness? Really? I think of it as the worst of the bunch, but I guess that's because I just don't like the idea of taking damage, even when it is inevitable that I will be taking damage. So it's actually not as bad as I make it out be. :) Espe...

Im with Danhvo on that one. I'll tell you guys: an aid tent with expert war machines plus aid tent skill has 800hp, and perfect ressurection. On early game, there is no chance you can take something like that down. Plus war machine users are overpowered creepers to begin with, I dont really think t...

Gating doesn't help me at all against druids for example. Pretty tough when they are blocking the way I need to go. I think druids are the worst opponents for just about every faction. Gating can still help though. Inferno units don't usually gate in fast enough early on in the game before the drui...

With tactics or +1 speed boots they can even reach shooters if properly aligned. If you place them on the fourth tile from the left, they will be able to hit one enemy stack, regardless of how many there are :) Wow that's a handy tip :-D On a side note, the AI just LOVES to target my furies. Someti...

Coulda just skipped to level 4. Arcane Archers, followed by Firehounds (god, both these mothers hurt far too much for their level). Bear Riders and Golems compete for the third slot, IMO. On one hand, bear riders rule with great specials. On the other hand, Magnetic Golems have a very useful specia...
