The Heroes Round Table

@astral76minor



don't know if it works but give this a shot: right-click on the Heroes 2 executable, go to the Compatibility tab & try experimenting with different settings there to see if you can get it to work

I been playing HoMM since Heroes 2 and I like H5 overall, but here are some things I didn't like: 1. Terrible voice acting & cut scenes (honestly, the old scripted story boxes were a lot more interesting) 2. Uneven difficulty from map to map (on Heroic for example, one map might be relatively ea...

Also a neat tactic for protecting the Westernmost city from invasion is to fill the nearby boat ramp with empty ships, thus preventing the AI from recognizing a path to land there.

Have Markal equipped with the Staff of the Netherworld and then when you enter or exit the town (I forget which) you should get a pop-up window asking if you want to convert it. You also must have 10000 gold to get the prompt.

@dragonpainter Sounds like you lost too many troops along the way. You may have to restart. The key is just clever battle tactics and smart use of gating to cut your losses. I had Urgash's Call (instant gating) going into this so I found it somewhat easy, even on Heroic difficulty. As far as I can r...

- You can't hire any more heroes from any tavern once you already have 4. It is possible to get 5 or even 6 heroes if you already have the normal maximum when you get Shadya and/or the hero from the prison in the Southwest corner (a level 16 Necromancer Vladimir in my game) -- NOTE that although he ...

This first map is quite difficult (but not impossible) to clear on Heroic without significant troop losses. I restarted a few times to get more favorable neutral stacks in the visible starting area. Aside from that it took some very careful planning and tactics. Of course the Blood Furies will let y...

a very Merry Christmas to everyone!



btw, King's Bounty: Armored Princess is on sale for $10 on Steam right now but it expires in about 9 hours or so

Windows 7's "XP Mode" (only available in Professional or above) in theory should allow you to play older games that won't work with Vista.

@sylvanllewelyn, if you really wanna know the answer to that you can check out the manuals at the link below and read up about Initiative, Morale, and how ATB works in combat to determine the order of creature's turns (check the "Main Game Mechanics" section): http://www.heroes-fr.com/en/f...

I'm curious to know what they did for the music in Heroes 2 since it played the tracks off the CD. Do you suppose they converted them to MP3 and integrated them into the game like Heroes 3?

Umm if you want high quality versions of any Heroes II music you can just pop the CD in and open it as an audio CD, all the tracks are right there! How about doing all the battle music or terrain music as the next project? Don't need any video, just the music. Edited on Thu, Aug 06 2009, 02:10 by Sh...
