The Heroes Round Table

I am fairly sure the Archangel only takes one square.

The Archangel is clearly the overall best by far. High speed means you will almost always attack first, and it is just enough to carry you across the battlefield. It's HP is not as great as that of the Titan or the Black dragon, but its superior offensive power more than makes up for it. And they ar...

Good code, except, I think it needs to say >= (greater than or equals) instead of just > (greater than). Otherwise, you would always get one creature too few, I think.

In a tight RPG like MBK, such scripts would not fit at all. You made the mistake of dismissing those free creatures? Or starting on the path you are supposed to take only later? Then you shouldn't be able to pass. But if you adapt difficulty to hero level only and not to amount of creatures, that m...

Still, the point is that it can be done. I'd rather have a variable as well though ;) Then we agree. If done carelessly, yes, but not if done in an appropriate manner, I think. And any editor function that is used carelessly will ruin the game. Sure. But I doubt that there is a way to use appropria...

You can adjust scripted combat any way you want to. Tedious work since each possible enemy setup needs to be scripted seperately. That is just it, though. Tedious work. I know it can be done, but it takes way too long if you want 20 different possible setups. Better to have a variable. But with a f...

Hi! I have just recently started to make a new RPG type map. The initial stage has gone smoother than I expected, but that may be because I am more familiar with the editor now than I was when I made my first map. However, I have encountered one problem. The Cloak of Distraction. It is supposed to m...

I think it can be done with H4 editor. Just make a creature stack with a standard -> encountered event and sacript there. I don't think this can be done for monthly generated creatures and those of other players, but perhaps I am wrong. Well, no it can't be done. I mean no offense, but I think you ...

I think the ability to use variables when determining the number of creatures in scripted would be a great improvement, too. I mean, if you are making a kind of map when you want to adapt the difficulty of a battle to how powerful the hero is and/or the chosen difficulty, then you could have the scr...

Thanks for the help, folks!

EDIT: I tried it out and it worked for me, too.

I know this can be done but I can't remember how. Does anyone know how to make an Ask Question script with new lines in it that does not have those annoying square symbols?

I can't believe that, coming from you. You are, like, one of the most ambitious and well-known mapmakers on this site.

But maybe meant you were joking.

Maybe you shouldn't compare the H4 editor to the WC3 editor, cuz' WC3 has the best damned editor I've ever seen. Somethings I hope for in H5's editor would be: Maybe you are right. Hoping for an editor like the one from WarCraft III may be too much, but it does not change the fact that I think the ...

Good replies, folks! I am sure the unofficial mods have a bit to offer that the standard games don't. Maybe that is something to look at, but I have never really gotten into it. I guess concern for the stability of my computer makes me careful with unofficial software. But really, why should there b...

Yes, I will definitely buy it sooner or later.

Hi folks! I haven't been posting here for quite some time, and I haven't been mapmaking in nearly two years. I have a grand total of one Heroes III and one Heroes IV map that I am the author of posted on this site. This is partly due to the enormous amounts of time mapmaking takes and partly due to ...

A well made map with nice graphical design and ingenious use of portals to alleviate travel times, which might otherwise have become quite daunting since one had to backtrack to retake an enemy occupied town. The town names were also interesting, and there was a nicely scripted quest hut where one c...
