The Heroes Round Table

Implosion does physical damage, so that's probably why it's doing worse than Lightning Bolt. Try casting it against High Wizards and Magyars.

wait is that why the seer is broken in base MM8? Because some of the quest items need to be reusable?

Rock Blast you have to know how it reacts to level geometry - MAW briefly (i think accidentally) made it targeted at one point (like Fireball is) and it very quickly became clear just how much power just that one change gives it. And that's a running theme with Earth Magic, you have to aim them manu...

Largely buff spells for me, since melee is my forte for some weird reason. Might and Magic 6: There's so many monsters that you have to be efficient in how you spend your mana if you don't want to rest every five realtime minutes. Buff spells like Haste/Bless/Heroism rule the roost for me, and M Lig...

I'm playing HoMM3 Complete (via GoG) in Windows 10; is there an equivalent for the Heroes games to the GrayFace patches of MM6-8? Mostly what I want is windowed mode that doesn't care about color depth.

EDIT: The links in the FAQ post are dead.

A recent discussion in the Monsters-Arts-Wonders development group got me wondering, how common is it to actually go through and kill all of the monsters in all the overland maps? We re-scaled the difficulty of the endgame under the assumption that players are going to do all of the Content, but we ...

is this a bug?or do i have to have a sorc in party? edit : or how can i trouble shoot thsi myself?what script has the 'house' quest giver code in it?(edit : the promotion to wizard quest code specificaly) in mm6 you can do every promotion quest availiable, but only chars with the class fitting get ...

Earth is still an incredibly good offensive school even with the Mass Distortion nerf - all the other spells hit against Physical resistance. And don't underestimate Turn to Stone.

The original problem with the MM6 debuffs is just that they all hit against Magic resistance, which is the most common immunity (one of the holdovers in MAW from Skill Emphasis is immunity removal, so now every debuff has "a chance" of working against anything), it's just at one point we g...

If you can, please open an issue on Github for the steal effect crash - we worked around it for non-TCC by outright disabling the special for Thief and Cutpurse type monsters. Sure. Do you mean the main repo or the TCC one? Please open it in the main repo (so that the fix can percolate through to o...

If you can, please open an issue on Github for the steal effect crash - we worked around it for non-TCC by outright disabling the special for Thief and Cutpurse type monsters. wrt light/dark magic - one of the goals was to make schools that aren't light/dark more viable; casting the separate compone...

Full TCC support is theoretical at this point: while the mod will not prevent you from completing TCC, because of how we handled the monster overrides we aren't technically compatible with TCC as it is intended (see below). We will be working on a proper "TCC-ready" version that uses TCC ...

I would like to say that it was overall fun working on this. Expect a number of variants of this in the future - one of the things we did with this was make it double as a framework for future mods to build off of (though we did get carried away with the rebalancing aspect of things).

That's a known issue with the Steal special (it also affects cutpurse-type creatures). We have a workaround in place in the experimental branch at https://www.github.com/raekuul/mm6-skill-emphasis-mod

there seems to be an error in Data Tables/Town Portal.txt - removing that resets the destinations to what they're supposed to be.

They're semi-connected: There's dedicated "Dimension Door" scrolls to be found at random (check mid/late Magic Item shops), you can cast Town Portal in specific locations to cross between continents (if you use the Pearl of Putrescence Charged Connector Orb, Verdant will tell you about thr...

I would argue against forcibly downgrading 'too high' masteries on NPC promotions, mostly on the grounds that "the engine does not actually care about illegal mastery levels." Plus if we're going to downgrade "too high" masteries in-engine it might be better to lower the masterie...

Lord Markham's manor is an interesting one; I always just go in assuming that I'll eat a TPK. If I survive getting out then that just means Markham needs better security.

I haven't completed 1-5 or 9+ so I won't make judgments on (least) favorite dungeon for those. Favorite MM6: Castle Kriegspire; between the lore, the drakes, and the plot I just keep looking for reasons to come here. Though VARN is a close second just due to the sheer scale (but VARN loses on accoun...

the Learn All Spells example works in all three games (since it iterates across both the entire party table and the entire table of spells). There are certain quirks that are unique to each game (MM6 is the only game with "Poison" resistance, MM8 has five characters, etc). Scripts will nee...
