The Heroes Round Table

well, people are guessing, but i suspect it is difficult to guess that answer. Elitekill, I dont know if anyone has played that map, but it seems that there comes no answer. Can you reveal answer and ask a new one?

It's not in a campaign, it's in a single scenario (Like Griffin's Last Flight).

I know, that's why I am totally out.

I can also say that I have no idea. I played Heroes V campaigns a bit, but that was it. I hope someone who knows anything about Heroes V will figure it out.

It is easy to make a screen. It will just say that your forces suffer a bitter defeat. But right after your hero dissapears, dissapears enemy hero too. I actually had a test map where I only had one hero and enemy too. Both died because of armageddon. Then I was eliminated from the game and next mes...

Titan's Thunder. I just like everything about Titans and that is the ultimate Titan artifact :D I also like the spell it gives (600 damage with no mana... pretty good) Actually by the time you get to assemble that artifact, you are probably so high level and armies are so big that 600 damage lighte...

You meant a draw? Ok. Besides damage spells (armageddon, chain lightening) that hurt your own creatures there are more options of a draw. Very common thing that AI does in Heroes III is winning battle with only summoned creatures left. Which means automatic loss after the battle. Or there are only r...

In what way do H4 battles have more ways to be resolved then in the other games? I am not sure what you mean, so I will just discuss it a bit with myself Outcomes of battles - win, loose, retreat, surrender or both loose. There are different ways of doing those things in H IV, than i Heroes III for...

I love the speed necklace. It is a minor artifact and easy to find but a very nice one IMO. I also like logistics artifacts.

Got also 19, when you count neutrals also and if you consider "undead" a special (which it is). Not quite sure, which neutrals were in RoE and which came later. EDIT: ok, actually counted 20. That will be my guess for now. pikeman, halberdier, svordsman, gnoll, gnoll marauder, gorgon, imp,...

I was about to vote H IV, but then I noticed that it was about balance between AI and human player. Went with H II, since it is the least tactical of Heroes games that I have played. The more tactical the game the less can AI do against human brain.

Name the "secret" artifacts in Heroes III. Can you read the original post first? You have to answer previous question right and then you get the right to ask a new one. Right now you have to answer the question about dimension door. I have tried that cursed ground thing, I managed to DD m...

It is correct. Didnt expect the correct answer so fast.

I dont think so since it is strictly about heroes. But I guess it is up to mods to decide.

I was thinking of making a new topic where one person is asking a question about Heroes that is not a well-known fact and the one that answers right can ask next one. I will start with a question. EDIT: If noone answers the question in 5 days and people are not even close, then the one who asked the...

I loved hydras in Homm II. (level 5) Perfect against random dangerous stacks like ghosts and vampire lords. It was so cool to see hydras surrounded by five stacks and attacking all of them at once.

H2 for me too. I always loved the sound effects.

Heroes III unupgraded. I like heroes I ogre too, but I never played the game so I went with the other one. Ogres are supposed to be strong, but no intelligence creatures IMO, Heroes II looks like a sheep and Heroes IV ogre looks too intelligent for my taste.

I went with preserve, just because it is the least annoying for me. It is kinda nice backround music that doesnt add anything, but doesnt get on my nerves either. Others are starting to get on my nerves after a while. Stronghold would be the second place. Haven and Academy are most annoying.

I have very likely already given my opinion in this thread, but I am not sure and I dont feel like looking it through. For me the best game is Heroes III. I am that kind of person, who appreciates surprise elements and randomness and H III offered a lot of them. I know it can make the game more unba...

Ok, after watching Paulus messing around with that map for several days, decided to try myself. Went with Stronghold. Going back all the time to get my spellpoints full added quite some days, but helped preserving the army. Probably could cut 2 days by winning final battle, but I dont feel like repl...

Archdevil. Fast and no retal. One archdevil can beat much stronger armies as long as they are not especially fast.
