I will give it a shot, thanks.

Getting in the hive is not a problem. It is jumping up to each level. For years I could not do it, some time around 4 years after the game came out. I thought it was due to faster processors. After the recent patches by Greyface I was able to jump up to the the first and second level, but it was not...

Any chance that you could change the nest to have stairs? For years I could not jump up to all the floors. I think that has been improved, but is still a pain and I just skip that dungeon.

BTW cool looking bugs.

As to the dragon, just a guess but did you use an editor on him to get the master level? I never had any problem with him, but I have not used in in a party in years. Probably before Greyface or Mok patches, so I do not know if they impact that character. Do you know how to make the dragon fly? I me...

I think I had the Cauri issue once many years ago. iirc it was caused by not visiting the last house in the NE in Alvar to get info about her having gone missing prior to going to Murwoods. When you check on your quest, does it show up as still open? Normally I do not go back to the scroll giver Dan...

Hate castle Almos as it is a pain to navigate as is Darkmoor. When I get to that point in the game I tend to put it away for weeks. Finally coming back to plow through them. MM6 the Dragon Caves of Kriegs.. As it has lots of good loot, but is a not an easy take down. MM7 Maze MM8 Crystal Palace in R...

Been failing the test for years on so many systems. Not enough disk space was one I recall, as it had no idea about giga bytes.

Tatalia is in HoMM 3 the home of the fortress town, which has units including, Lizard men, basilisks, Wyverns and hydra... Never really associated Fortress towns with any specific area as they seem to be all over the place in Homm3 and not in MMVI or VII. I guess, if I replayed the campaigns, I may...

iirc it goes up 1 skill pt per 10 levels

So if you get 4pt level 1-10, you would get 5 per level 11-20.

It takes a bit of work initially, but using a front end like ProGammaX makes it a single click to start Dosbox games. I usually have 4-6 games setup in ProGammaX. I have used other front end apps found on DsBox's site in the past. They pass on DosBox commands like mount and do the change directory a...

What reptiles are in Tatalia? In MM7 there are trolls, one dragon in a cave and human forms. There are ghost in the island dungeon.

Homm3, with all its addons, is pretty long. Did you also get all the Chronicles for Homm3? They were fairly short.

In MM6 some towns the peons were a pain as they constantly get in the way. MM7 was less so and MM8 you could pass through them and the guards, so no problem.

At least in MM7 you could kill them and pay a fine and be done with them.

I know I am a heritic for this, but I would have liked to see some reduction in the number of Dragons in Dragonsand around the Shrine. Same for Titans in Hermits Island. It is not so much that they are hard to kill, but just takes to much time. It is not adding anything to my adventure to kill so ma...

It is not easy to say, if they have the rights to the music. Often the rights are for specific formats, like CD or diskettes. It was an ongoing battles for a time over getting extra compensation for digital formats.

Those may lie with the artist for games that predate DVD and DLC.

limited edition

I remember buying MM6 that came in a very large box. I do not have the box, but I still have all the maps. One is cloth and one is paper. I have several other maps, a few look like Xeen to me. I know I bought 4 and 5 and I think they combined for clouds of Xeen. I am not sure as I bought them for my...
