The Heroes Round Table

I can have a go on it next week if you don't mind waiting.

Dimension Door. Although it is far too easy to abuse this spell in H2.

Slow is useful, but I voted haste, because reaching enemies in the first turn with your unit(s) is even more useful. :p

Blind. Mainly because you can keep an enemy stack out of action indefinitely, if you move units in the right order.

Agreed. Teleporting hydras into a garrison really ruins the enemy's day :p also useful for attacking with 4-digit skeleton stacks.

Berserk. Especially deadly against wandering creatures (in H2 anyway), who can't defend themselves against it.

I don't post on here that much, usually just read threads.

Meh, long story. Better catch me on msn to hear it

DF haven't seen you in a while dude, whats new?

Oh sure, every faction has its unique strengths and weaknesses in H2. But, except for heavily-naval maps, if you're playing the Sorceress faction, then it'll usually be best to use Sorceress troops and a Barbarian hero. Nevertheless, it's very wishful thinking to consider the factions balanced. For...

But back to the subject - that sounds like a ****ty TV then. ... But, HV, it's 70 frakkin' inches! I'll make some sacrifices for size. It's like playing MM and HOMM on a frakkin' movie screen, man! :) A low resolution at 70 inches looks horrible, quite frankly. What use is it with HOMM, that limits...

Try using something other than the S-video interface? VGA maybe? HV, thanks for the suggestion, but I already use the PC input with the monitor cable. The JVC 70 inch D-ILA television only supports two resolutions - 1024x728 and 6??x420. (I can never remember those numbers exactly, but all the MM g...

Actually, its 20% and 300%.

I like the ambient themes better. Especially the grass\dirt ones.

Please play us. I'd love a nice change of opponent, and I'd love a 3-way game even more! My MSN (but not E-mail) is darmanithird@hotmail.com BTW, I think there's a lot more H3 being played by the people at www.heroescommunity.com (their Heroes I-III forum has devolved into basically just a Heroes I...

Different uses of different heroes: If you need a scout over water, take a Sorceress. If you need to get a really good artifact that requires Leadership, take a Knight. If you need a scout over normal terrain and don't want to buy Very Fast troops to give him, take a Wizard or Warlock. If you're fa...

In any case, welcome to the boards!

Thanks. I can see we're not going to agree on your patch though :p

You obviously haven't played enough multiplayer games, no offense. No, I haven't played MP. Yes, there are some game-breaking issues in H2. Fix them. Magic spells need some tweaking, yes. But stop messing with the faction balance. I know, I seem to be a lone voice here, but nevermind. Any faction c...

Good stuff. I was hooked on HOMM2\3 during the late 90s\early 2000s so I can relate to that :p

Vista sucks for backwards compatibility (64 that is, 32 is somewhat better, but people use 64 because of the RAM capability).

Try using something other than the S-video interface? VGA maybe?
