I don't think there's much difference. H4 is somewhat more difficult at the beginning of each campaign, especially in Life, Might and Chaos campaigns (Life - you are still used to Heroes 3 and use a playing style suited for H3, which proves horribly incorrect for Heroes 4; Might - the neutral armies...

Re: Need advice on difficulty

I'm thinking of getting back to Heroes IV (I played it looong ago) and now I'm not sure which difficulty setting to choose when playing campaigns. I was thinking of choosing the highest difficulty at first but then again I heard that the AI gets handicapped in this case because of the large wanderi...

Emulators are llegal if you own legal copy of the game. is wrong, unless he meant to say "illegal" :). Emulators themselves are typically legal no matter what games you play on them. It's questionable whether you can play your legally obtained games on an emulator, that would most likely ...

Open the hero screen and press D (or maybe Shift+D)

You can also place this hero in a Sanctuary or inside a mine, both will prevent him from carrying-over.

Re: Should I get Heroes 4 CTG?

I'm taking a road trip to a large gaming store this weekend and wondering if I should look for the Heroes IV card game. I read the PDF of the rules - it looks insanely complicated. In practice, do you need a working knowledge of the HOMM computer games? I'm the only one in my group who's even heard...

Keep them out of the battle at all cost; don't let them cast illusion or ice bolt on your troops.

Order has an extremely slow start so a good Death of Might player should win quite easily simply by outracing an Order opponent; a Nature player also has a pretty good chance. Later in the game, barbarian heroes rule - there's nothing an Order player can do against a hit and run of 5-6 mid-level (10...

Game plan for Academy = Build genies ASAP and rule the world ;| But beware of anyone with basic order or basic death. I have always found Genies to be strong only when fighting a neutral army of them. Otherwise there are usually too few of them to make any significant impact. Cyclops, Vampire and G...

Could an impossible player be so kind to try out the map? I gave a link in the first post. On my first try, I managed to kill all the berserkers with 4 shots and 15 troglodytes remaining. I did use both potions before the fight, but this proved unnecessary - I would win just as well with no potion ...

Well most evolution polls are won by HII and HI,which means that originality is the key here. Actually, it means that nostalgia is the key here.
