The Heroes Round Table

> she's able to build 47 Pals with 13 A-Angels within three weeks on normal?



Er... she starts with them I guess? You can take over all 8 towns and build up a bigger force withint 1-2 months.

Just replayed this mission on patch 1.2, heroic. I think the difficulty has been tuned up quite a bit. First up, Biara, who sieged my town on Day 6, Week 1, Month 2, is raised from lv 8 to lv 12, bringing ~4 weeks worth of inferno troops. Her stats were comparable to Findan's and she can cast not-so...

Neh it is not an exploit. The OP is not utilizing weird game glitches to make things happen the way that they should not happen. What doesn't make sense to me is how can so many marksman fit into a small space-time, disallowing the dragon's big body to make any contact.

There used to be a mod (or rather simple DIY manual modification) that allows one to see the sky background for the castle view on the adventure map (with more liberal camera angles). It does not function in patch 1.2. I wonder who knows how to get the beautiful sky back? Thanks! :) *** Edited: Ops ...

Exactly. The game has all kinds vague descriptions. Increase 5% and increase 25% are totally differerent things.

This is simply brilliant.

For me MM9 sounds like ages past... I bought the game as my first M & M, and then I noticed HoMM4. My favorite MM9 memories include: (1) The beginning island. I read some online sources that I can actually get the mage book when the characters were still on the starting island (and very weak). I...

In my latest game I was able to hire a great stack (93!!) of Master Hunters on my way down for about 34000G (had diplomacy). That makes killing the green early very easy.

Hm... if it is just ONE paladin then sure it is 1x2. If it is 20, then probably they can be simplified as a block like 2x2. I always had a hard time imagine how can 1K units all fit in one tiny square. Do they stand on top of each other? Reminds me of the mini game (stacking to reach the helicopter)...

> to wimfrits: Wow that looks weird. I played this mission twice on heroic, facing him Day 1 Week 2, and Day 5 Week 3, respectively. He both had about 25 AA and 30 PL, and about 100 others. Let's say his angels grow at 11% per week (heroic growth for neutrals), then it would take about 19-20 weeks t...

> ... you’re stupid enough to max him on level 2

(spoiler follows)

Well, after finishing the Academy campaign I think those who max Godric whenever possilbe is the smartest (at least not stupid).

(160 titans) That was in the midst of month 5. Last night, I finally finished the mission. In retrospect, I certainly slowplayed this map, but it's called "the defense" right? Nah. For all strategy games the rushers always win. :D Let's see... if you are playing on heroic, then the weekly...

Thanks

I had the same problem once. It happened that I got the 20 dragon quest before I took over another town with Izzy, and I was never able to curse it.

Fortunately it is only a side quest. When I got the 20 dragons I still finished this mission.

I thought this website is rated G... Just FYI, "waiting" substract the initiative counter by 50, instead of 100 as in defense and action. It is equivalent to an action plus a good morale.

Is this the first mission?
The red player (the boss) should come some time during the 2nd month, after about 2-3 waves of teal heroes.
If you have the latest patch, things should work well... (can't guarantee )

Patch 1.2: Gilraen doesn't flee like he used to now, which makes the opening harder. Also, the AIs seem to be way more active. Heroic on 1.2 is much more challenging compared to 1.1.

Oh yeah that's right. That was DEMON messiah. Now how many messiahs are here?

Training: Whats the deal with this? Why cant I upgrade peasants to consripts? and why do Archers turn into footmen instead of Marksman? Marksman also turn into footman?! Whats the logic behind this!? Training refers to "Train tier one to tier two, tier two to tier three". Peasant and cons...

I got a silly question. Is this Dark Messiah the one that we accidently accomplished along the campaign in HoMM5? :p

Yeah that is really annoying. The problem is the experience required later on grows so fast, it is not even exponentially.
