The Heroes Round Table

I had a poweful AI hero locked behind a teleporter guarded by 32 Azure Dragons. The idea would be that he would come busting through the gate with a huge Inferno army sometime in the 6-7th month and run wild on the main map as a new threat. Now I know the AI doesn't even use autocombat in its battle...

I can't hunt these down for the life of me. Problem is I often want to use my
own rumors but the WOG "generic" ones keep popping up all the time. Just
a file name would work...

This was started over a year ago (not by me, tho I've contributed in a few
spots). Since it is still up I'd thought I'd let everyone know so they can
consult it for reference and perhaps even contribute.

Sir Mullich.

The H3 one is based on a real person who worked for 3DO IIRC. At any
rate she is a real fox!

A good map maker will ensure that the enemy can't be hired in enemy towns
(only possible to disable in SoD).

Usually they give themselves away pretty easily; they tend to be new posters,

they tend to be hit-and-run (rarely follow-up on and answer replies), and

the posts usually are nothing more than "Hey! Try out this cool new game!"

with a provided link.

I've resisted buying the game up to now (partly because of other interests,
and partly because of my experience with buying H4 the day of release),
so what is the state of the game as currently patched? A worthy successor
of the Heroes name, or a disappointment, or something in between?

One more thing I wanted to mention: if the Fire Shield increase holds true for
Efreet Sultans, then they will be probably THE kick-butt 6th level troop-hand-
to-hand combat with these guys will be very dangerous.

OK, im back and im gona redo the whole thing later tonite, but before i start i would need te be clear on what to do (thats why i cant start yet) Dude this is your mod, do what you want! If you include an easy explanation as to how we can change things too then include it in the zip so we can try o...

I hope other people are interested in this (and not just the handful which have posted in this thread); it represents a pretty significant set of changes. My thoughts: I agree with hackcrag that damage spells are too powerful in the early game. But even with that +7 bonus they may still be weak in t...

I think Sorrow and Mirth could both benefit from -3/+3 respectively (same for Fortune/Misfortune). Consider that the official _calculated_ maxima/ minima are +/- 3 to begin with, and that people are often hauling stuff around which makes thier luck/morale even higher than +3, and maybe I'll cast Sor...

I was wondering if it is possible to add some extra AI boosters to WoG. Right now you are limited to the default difficulty levels from base H3. In addition to that I'd also like to see the following additions: 1. Unit growth bonus for towns (25/50/75/100% more growth) 2. Resource bonus, either for ...

There's always people complaining no matter how things are done.... I think having only 2 choosable initial factions for your campaigns AND only 6 stand-alone maps AND on top of that no map editor to make new maps are extremely valid reasons to complain. I'm glad my expectations are so low for this...

Well, as has been discussed before many people play without Fly and DD, which makes Air much less appealing. Water is very close to Earth IMHO; if your enemy is hosing your troops with deleterious spells it's the only way to cancel all that stuff. Then you have Bless/Teleport/Forgetfulness/Clone, wh...

Surprised so many people like (non-specialty) Offense and Armorer. I'd think an Expert Stoneskin/Shield/Bless etc. with the appropriate spell school would be just as good. Then again I've never had my head handed to me in 1-1 MP (but that's more of a philosophical issue in my case). Since I usually ...

I'm not surprised that the "review sites" are so favorable. I remember all

the good-to-great reviews H4 got, NONE of which mentioned the awful AI

(among other problems).

I am definitely in the strategy camp-I dislike drawn out boring stories, esp.
those which are very linear, prefer 8 player XL with severely beefed up AI
factions and tons of strategic options with lots to explore.

Yes if >I< "win", but I've seen the bug with an enemy hero stationed inside an opponent's castle, with no army left, on several occasions. I'll try to recreate the bug, just to satisfy my curiousity... Well, I was unable to reproduce it. I gave an Overlord hero expert Fire Magic, 1-6 Minot...

I voted Dungeon: you have an Artie Merchant and the Mana Vortex, and
the +1000 Experience thing, which is good when you hire L1 secondary
heroes. Tho in long games the Treasury is hard to beat, but there isn't
another special building out there worse than the Mystic Pond...
