The Heroes Round Table

Haven't done a LOT of HoF playing yet, but, as someone who enjoys all magic, I like Inga and her rune abilities...

Thanks, everyone!
I'll see if WinZip opens the file; if not, I'll just wait until the map is posted in another (zip) format. Thanks, again...

Here's another simple question, I'm sure... I downloaded an H5 map with the .rar extension (as opposed to .pak or .h5m); do I need another program to open the .rar map (just as you need WinZip to open a zipped file)? I don't think putting the .rar map into either the data folder or the map folder wi...

Send email to Ubi requesting TCP/IP capability; I believe they stated that they would look at implementing this option if "there is demand for it". (I only use TCP/IP for multiplayer, too)

Great work! Thank you!!

Great Charts! Thank you!

(Add my approval for the H4 manual; it's very good)

Thanks, GC. At this point, EVERY reference chart is a useful one, and this one more than most.

I went with the Fairy Dragons/Phoenix combination; as always, any creature that can cast spells has a "plus" in my book (I like water elementals for the same reason...can we say "quicksand"?). And the phoenix is fast, and can strike two groups (if you're lucky). All that said, ga...

Have to go with the genies/naga troops; while I don't use nagas a lot, the genies can do almost anything with their magical abilities (and I always favor the spell-caster armies).

For a choice of a single school, I go with Order whenever I can. In addition to all the Order spells already mentioned, I really like Precision, too. For multiple schools, I like Nature and Death; as was mentioned before, the summoning spells of the Demonologist are fabulous!

Have to admit that I like Faerie Dragons, too...at least in Heroes 4 (hate them in H3). I'm a spellcaster at heart, and FD are just one more magical resource I can use in my battles.

Going back to the topic...

I like the elves/tigers, and try to get them both if I can (different builds in different cities, or from outside creature dwellings). Sometimes it's fun to play with ALL a faction's choices of armies.

I agree with HodgePodge; genies have so many advantages that I don't remember ever using Nagas.

I agree; I really enjoyed playing the H4 magic system. Order magic was addictive; I really had to force myself to play other schools. But totally enjoyed all of them!

Thanks for all the work, Psychobabble! I've played most of your favorites, and hope to play the rest of them soon. One problem I had (and wonder if anyone else ran into it) was that the save games that I was using for A Beautiful Land became corrupted (including both Autosaves) and I ended up having...

(While playing, GP is startled by what appears to be the shadow of a large cow on the wall, and a flash of pink dragon scales moving outside the window) Wow, I must be half dreaming...I really need to find something to substitute for Sorknes' expressoes! Even if only a quarter as strong as hers, it ...

Oh, NOW'S a good time to tell me my cloud castle will upgrade!

(Starts playing the game...)

Hey, wait a minute! What do you mean...I'm poisoned?!?!

I can't be poisoned...I'm the hero!

(Starts looking for BM's email address so that he can discuss the obvious error in the start of the game...)



GP

(Grabs a chair at the table he salvaged from the old Comm. Tavern)

"I sure miss Sorknes' espresso creations! Don't know how I'm able to keep on playing sometimes without them. Not to mention BM's early morning conversations. Ah, those were the days..."



GP

The Homm3 map is obviously of the highest quality, as it it starring...me! Actually, all of the "To Hire a Hero" maps are great fun to play, and BM (and friends) is a great map-maker and story-teller. Enjoy!!
