The Heroes Round Table

No matter the monster level or the AC, the monster's base chance to hit before taking into account any armor was 95 to 98 percent. AC 50 started approaching a mathematical limit of 75% vs. just about any monster level. AC 100 started approaching a mathematical limit of 50% vs. just about any monste...

One other note:

Once you've gotten the Orcs down to one town, it's worth it to use your towns' scrying ability to reveal all of the opposing Haven lands to determine the best time to take the last town and open the gates.

Update to the update to the update:

There is a window to get the Griffins if you ignore the central fort and focus on taking Orange's first fort. That allows some breathing room to unlock the Griffins and have a healthy stack for later wiping out Orange before Tan invades too far.

To update the Sir_Toejam update: My experience has been that by the time you get enough troops together to get through the wolves on the way to the orange town, they've assembled close to 100 Dreamwalkers if not more. That doesn't seem particularly beatable when you have no elite troops yourself (an...

I just barely decided enough time had passed to try a new heroes title. Looking over the patch notes through the game's lifespan, healing got nerfed and AoE got buffed, so depending on when you last played it, it wouldn't have been much of a problem. I just set the difficulty to Easy. That allows yo...

Out of curiosity, how does one deal with the Chain Lightning spam at the end of this map? The fact that ghosts no longer heal obviously makes a large difference on the map's difficulty, but I have a hard time believing even that can overcome four straight turns of all my troops getting chain lightni...

So far as I'm aware, 3do leaned heavily on NWC to produce crap in order to shore up their own faltering lines. That continued pressure drove JVC away and obviously didn't work, since the reduced quality, creativity, and innovation meant the things that NWC had become known for ceased to be there. Th...

Just to be sure I understand:

The idea is to

1) Install this;
2) Copy over relevant data from your existing H2 install; and then
3) Play on the new engine?

(Does anything need to be copied from the disc itself?)

As far as the Dwarf Maps go, I thought that was deliberate -- "Hey, look! Dwarves are dwarves, hostile or not!"

There's no shame in reusing an engine if the engine works. Baldur's Gate 2 didn't suffer for essentially being the Baldur's Gate engine with tweaks.

This, at least, is shown in MM8. Dragons are both party members and quest givers.

I'm against that. HoMM is a spinoff series, and the creatures transforming upon upgrade never made sense to me, and as far as non-humans go, it was also never explained (or mentioned) lore-wise. Sure, you can train a pikeman to become a halberdier, and replace his pike with a halberd, but the drago...

GM Chain helps mitigate a Dark Elf's lack of toughness.

A few google searches indicate that the game can have problems if you're trying to display it on HDMI connections.

What kind of monitor do you have?

Impressive. I'm glad to see you're continuing to work on it.

Which monsters were supposed to be paralyzing me all this time that weren't?

And there's also mind resistance and items that give immunity.

Wow!

I've picked up Heroes 4 again and have been replaying the campaigns. To my surprise, I find myself both enjoying it more and having an easier time. After wondering why, I've come to the conclusion that it's too easy to go Combat-heavy in the campaigns without even meaning to. This is especially true...

This table from Heroes Corner is all I ever seen about this matter. It doesn't show the pictures properly (at least for me) but you can see the "weights" of each skill depending on the hero class on the crossing of primary skills. Can't say how reliable the numbers are nor how they were c...
