H4: Do Wards Work Against Heroes?

I know each hero has a base class that is associated with one of the six towns. Do Wards only work against creatures of a particular alignment, or do they work against heroes of a particular alignment too? Also, you can't use Diplomacy against opposite-aligned creatures, does this mean that heroes w...

No, I meant that if they are already getting resources from the mines, and have a good amount of scripted armies and high level heroes, can they provide a good challenge? The ultimate victory condition in the map is to return the Ring to Mount Doom, rather than beating up all the other players (apar...

What happens if mines are pre-flagged to their colour, and certain armies come in scripts and heroes are placed already at high level (say 20)?

I am really enjoying the map, it's fun having a LOTR-themed H4 "heroes in combat" romp in the Lord of the Rings world. When a hero "dies" I consider that they have just been incapacitated and when they are "resurrected" they are just healed back to full strength. And a ...

H4: Differences in (esp.) battle AI between difficulties.

I've noticed that the AI is more likely to advance shooters and less likely to use (esp.) creature spells when on the lowest difficulties, but it also advances shooters sometimes on Advanced. What are the differences in the AI between the different selectable difficulty levels, esp. the battle AI? N...

Does anyone know how to get in contact with Grumpy Old Wizard? I sent him an email a while back but have not heard from him. The Dancing Crusader has been a great map and I'd really love to finish it if at all possible, but it seems there's a bug in the map that prevents progress. I guess the high r...

Thanks, that's what I wanted, thanks. =) And I know this is not an Equilibris map, but I just finished Psychobabble's My Brother's Keeper. It was very hard, and I had to resort to saving in battle or I would never have got it done. Great and rewarding ending. =) Btw: why does Neener's Invulnerable C...

Played Tolkien's War of the Ring by Yurian Stonebow?

If so, I'm wondering what you thought of it. It was released in February this year.

Where do I go for a list of all Equilibris changes?

Where do I go to find a list of the changes Equilibris 3.51 makes to base Winds of War? I know about the advanced class changes, but especially what I'm looking for is changes in stats for creatures between WoW and Equilibris.

I've decided that I don't have the motivation to make an entire map, let alone a campaign on my own at this stage in my life. As it is, I love the H4 game, but making maps and campaigns largely on my own is beyond me.

Thanks to all the people who offered their help.

Best regards,
Steven.

There doesn't seem to be much indoor furnishings. I was thinking of having an underground section for Bag End, but there are no beds, and very little (if any?) furniture. What have others done when wanting to make a realistic looking indoor space? And for the sides of the house/hole, there is a choi...

I've narrowed it down a bit. At this stage the adaptation would start with Frodo saying goodbye to Hobbiton (allowing a chance to visit some areas in Hobbiton) then it would follow the story of the hobbits traveling from Hobbiton to Rivendell (as I find that part of the story quite interesting and s...

Well, I've put the call out for at least two other major collaborators on the Heroes Community forums as well, so fingers crossed. =) I would really love for the campaign/s to go ahead, but I don't think I would be able to complete it on my own. =)

No I didn't. Does it happen when collecting all the Animate Dead wands from the special patches of ground? I don't think I quite got all of them.

I ended up choosing Golems and Nagas from Our village. Plus I took the Barbarian sister over to get the spells from Our village, including Endurance, which made a big difference in the Druid map. I had Town Gate and Teleport from "Our village" city (I had levelled the Order mage sister to ...

I would like to take in all the major events from the books. I know there is a short section where Aragorn, the Rangers, Legolas and Gimli set off into the Paths of the Dead. It is the only section of the book I think that none of the hobbits take part in (by and large, The Lord of the Rings is writ...
