The Heroes Round Table

Voted for Terek. The guy has two very good skills to start with and his specialty makes your slower than avarage Barbarian troops to move much faster. And let us not forget the good ol' "bonus is greater when used on lower level units". In Heroes III, Stronghold's perhaps biggest problem o...

All I want to say is wake me up before it's time to go to bed.

@enk&Muszka What you guys say makes perfect sense. I'd like to point out that the small tests I've made so far suggest the same think: magogs seem to be nothing but a "regular" shooter unit with that area effect. Curiously enough, not only does the magog's fireball attack animation clo...

Voted for the medievalish human faction, in H3 terms the Castle.




"Ordem e Progresso"

Who said people voted only for upgraded form of creatures and not basic ones? According to this poll, the basic monster type is people's favourite.
Voted for Heroes III Air elemental. That's the wind blowing at your candle.
I wonder if Elton John plays HoMM...

Voted Ignatius. Imps and familiars need additional bonuses more than any other creature listed here on this poll as Hero's special troops. Oh well, with the Grail constructed in Inferno, quantity really overcomes quality:
cheap cannon fodder by the hundreds if not thousands!




Yurian

Voted Xarfax. The fireball spell sure needs some boosting, so why not vote for a guy whose specialty it is. Speaking of boosting the spell's effectiviness, does magog's fireball attack also gain additional bonus when Xarfax leads them on the battlefield? Or is the fireball attack based on some other...

I voted for the awe-inspiring Chaos Hydra, native to the Tatalian swamplands. This top-level Heroes III creature has a nice specialty, no enemy retaliation. When you teleport the monster into the advancing enemy formation, it's a total carnage! Five heads striking all adjacent enemy units is a reall...

The Mayan grand cosmic calendar ends its longest cycle in the winter solastice, 2012 ( translated to our calendar, of course) Although it may sound suspicious that a non-European culture living its high times in the 8th and 9th centuries AD would make a prophecy about the world's end in our times, y...

Best wishes for a happy anniversary. May the Round Table remain a home away from home for us Heroes 'till the end of the world, Dec 22nd 2012.

Most of my experience of peasants comes from Heroes III so I voted them. They are neutrals, not associated with any town which is an advantage of a sort. (assuming there are peasant dwellings on the adventure map) you can freely use them to serve whatever purpose you could imagine: act as easily rep...

As much as I find the secondary skill called Learning to be underpowered, I still voted for Loynis as the top of the Clerics. Prayer specialist is always nice, always handy. Tell you this: this Hero has lead many times my humble starting army to victory against more powerful enemy. Prayer's effectiv...

Christian the frontiersman, he's my number one guy. Getting near to the end of the scenario, his powerful Ballista could quite well deal 250-350 points of damage to enemy units per single shot. Double the amount for shots per turn and you can understand why the enemy is really facing a nasty opponen...

@UndeadHalfOrc

Newest version of your personal H3 patch is now available as a zipfile at MapArchives' ByteBanditmaps6. Let's hope that it will become a classic H3 fan made patch that every regular visitor at the site proudly knows and uses to play Heroes III with.

@UndeadHalfOrc As one of the people who voted for Logistics as the best secondary skill in Heroes III, my humble opinion is that the skill is superb but it also has the potential of being slightly too strong. When reading the comment above, some people might have laughed and then added with a wry sm...

@Muszka I discussed things with UHO about 7 weeks ago. First I volunteered to help him with the project, perhaps do some testing and come up with suggestions how to improve various sections of the map. Then he told me that he's busy with other projects but he said there's no objection on his part if...

As a moderator of the MapArchive's ByteBanditmaps 6, H3 fan site owned by Steve@Pol, I added note "moderetor's choice for quality H3 personal patch, recommended" into the description of the link to UndeadHalfOrc's H3 patch. This was done to show my personal support for UHO's hard work. Spl...

As peculiar as it may sound, work on this project slowly continues. Secretly, behind the scenes and with short-cuts threatening to turn into route to oblivion...

Projected release date: 31st Jan 2009

@Lead Glad to hear your questions were all answered. Don't hesitate to ask your fellow Heroes fans if you have something in mind that keeps bothering you. The regulars here on this forum are people with theoretical and practical knowledge of HoMM games so once again, please go ahead and ask freely. ...

@Meandor I beg to differ. I believe that it's unjustified to claim that the majority of HoMM fans think that it is stupid to actually pay for a game. That is at best a partial truth. The way I see it is that the issue revolves around buying over-priced games. But the tables are turned when you value...
