The Heroes Round Table

Hi Pitsu, do you know how much does Divine Guidance "add" according to your data (like, Tele assault gives 50)?

I still don't understand fully how it works though. I played single recently, Jhora/Academy, and Vladimir attacked me in my town with his troops. I had 3 giants, some golems and gremlins, and mages divided in three stacks. I lost all the mages, my gremlins were never targeted so I ressurected the go...

Tele assault I find really terrific - but that is because it seems to me that the initiative boost exceeds by far the one from divine guidance, and you get teleport as well with it.

So far as I see it, I would never give a level up to take that ability, I'm really unimpressed with it (I still need to see the math though). +1 luck/moral - anytime over divine guidance.

Imo Light Magic is generaly better, it is usualy rather difficult and risky to go for imbue ballista considering you need a lot of prerequesits. However, the stun/freeze/armor reducing effect of destruction magic is extraordinary and should not be neglected.

Anyone knows how does Divine guidance actualy work? Is it possible to cast it as mass?

Gameplay of H5 is light years ahead of H3; hero development, town equality, spell system... 10 times better. The interface could be (much) better, music themes as well, I feel that the battle view could be larger, the units seem to small, and I really hate the need and must to rotate/zoom all the ti...

Great info, thanks Vicheron.

How does retribution work?

From what I can tell, +5% damage per point of morale.

Uh? But that is massive, +5 moral would give you +25% to TOTAL damage?

Take destruction magic and possibly sorcery and master of ice/storms and you won't have to worry too much about the skeletons. As for other stacks and raise dead, this you simply have to outmatch him. Necromancers suck totaly in knowledge, so if it's a map with no knowledge objects and +knowledge ar...

With all spells enabled: 1. Earth (clearly the nr. 1 in 90% of the cases; slow, ressurect, TP, shield, you name it). 2. Air (if you can get DD and enough mana Air is number one, unless, pehaps, when playing XL. DD is so overpowered that it is simply hilarious) 3. Water (very good school, but it real...

I would actually like to hear how to defeat 35 archmages early

I consider this really to be a major factor on heroic. Not so much for some castles, such as haven that needs only ore and wood, but if you play some other town and there is like lots of archmages (seen plenty times) guarding some crucial mine you could well be screwed. The archamages especially, th...

So far no answers for the second (group of ) questions... Anyone perhaps knows some way to figure this by oneself?

Considering art creation, do you know in what way can they be LOST? Can it happen by spliting stack, losing most of the stack etc.?

Very interesting.

I forgot about that, but most of the time it's very hard to gather funds for that. By the way, do you know how does knowledge influences art creation exactly?

Enlightment is a great skill, but less for wizard because it mostly boosts already superb knowledge. It is brilliant for most heroes though.

Don't worry, I am not that kind of a person who just sits and waits for the answers, I have checked it, but the descriptions are totaly vague and do not state any of the questions I asked (I am not asking for descriptions, but how does something work mathematicaly, if someone knows).

How do they work... Mark of the Damned (formula) Consume corpse (how much mana/damage with Soulfire) Hellfire (and with Hellwrath/Searing Fires) Fiery Wrath Spirit link Cold Death Cold steel/Chilling bones Plague tent Flaming Arrows Battle Commander (how many dancers, is it the same as Haunted Mines...
