Can anyone direct me to a starter thread for this game? I've had it for about three or four days and can't make any sense of it at all. Talk about a lack of any sort of meaningful documentation! I've played every heroes game, and this one makes no sense. I was just playing a custom map with all the difficulty and AI set to easy, lost practically no troops on neutral battles, but the first AI Hero I met had slightly more troops and his troops seemed to do twice as much damage (my 7 sun riders hit his 5 sun riders, for instance, and somehow I lost 3 and he lost 1!!!). I've heard that there is some sort of bonuses the troops give each other, but can't find anywhere this is explained. But anyway how do 5 sunriders do 3X as much damage as 7 riders? (His attack stat was 12 and mine was 11, but still it seems whack.)

I'd really appreciate some sort of basic instruction.

Did you play the Campaigns? If not, please play the 2 Campaign Tutorial missions, then play 4-5 missions of the campaign itself, and then you will be ready for custom maps! :D
Also, maybe you can read the Fan Manual (the one coming with the game is very basic and short).
May the Implosion be with you!

One question, for some reason i decided to use another hero than ana for the necromance campaign, now I have finished all the campaigns but cant play the epilogue. Do i have to finish the necromance campaign again now with ana or is this some other way i can play the epilogue? or is that not maybe the problem!

Is your game fully patched? This was supposed to be fixed with 1.2.

You need at least one Blood hero and one Tears hero to play both epilogues, maybe all your characters were the same alignment?

In that case there's really nothing you can do except replay a campaign.

damn that might be it, it felt like it took so long making a blood character when you could so easily raise your tears by letting neutral creatures retreat. Well back to sanctuary since its the easiest campaign

Stupid question but I want to be 100% sure - what are native terrians for factions?
From what I observe these are:

Haven - green grass
Inferno - lava
Necropolis - wasteland
Sanctuary - jungle
Stronghold - mix of jungle and rough

Academy - desert

1) Do Heroism and Mass Heroism stack? Or does one of the two only affect the friendly creatures?

2) Does a fuller Gating meter gate in more creatures? Or is it the same amount, and the amount gated depends on other factors (Gating boosting buildings in towns/etc)?

3) Does Gating gate troops in numbers depending of current or starting troop numbers? I mean, let's say we have 40 doggies and we gate in 10.
Will gating 20 doggies (20 are killed already) gate less?

IIRC only one.

Yes. Gate II gives you more troops then Gate I, Gate III more then Gate II and Gate IV gives you max troops which you can acquire.

I don't remember right now but I think it depends on current troops numbers.

Thanks for 1 and 3!
How about another question on #2: What if we have 1.3 Gating points, or 2.4? Does that gate more creatures than Gating 1 (1.0 points) or Gating 2 (2.0 points)?

In my mind, that you have 1.7 or 1.0 point in the gauge will produce the same effect. That is just a deduction based on the design of the game, I might be wrong.

Something that's been bugging me, in the German cutscenes, the Cleric version of Cate is always called "Geist Cate", which means "Ghost Cate". Is that the same in other languages and if so, does anybody know why? Dragon Knight Cate is simply called Cate.

Another simple question with probably a very simple answer as well ;|

Where are my savegames?

After patching uplay, all my H6 savegames are gone..
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

The answer is that offline/online savegames "will be compatible in version 1.5".
In War: Resolution, In Defeat: Defiance, In Victory: Magnanimity, In Peace: Goodwill.

I didn't realize it was that simple.
And here I was worrying about why I could suddenly load my prologue saves from March again (the saves before I turned off online sync).

Might be the new saves are still stored somewhere on my pc, but I couldn't find them.Does anyone know where H6 saves were stored before the patch in Vista?

edit: found a thread on the ubisoft forums that helped me locate the old saves.

I bought the game finally yesterday and I'm still struggling with some issues. I have two question:

Why can't I create a custom hero after I bought the free ones at the Altar of wishes?

How can I change the order in which my dynasty heroes appear?

I am pretty sure they forgot about custom heroes with all these complain about lack of tavern heroes.
It seems like they fixed lack of normal heroes by cutting custom heroes. :D

You can't, not until Ubisoft and Limbic do something about it.

More details:
Only the best bonus will affect creatures. So if you cast Mass Heroism and next Heroism, Heroism will overwrite Mass version, as it has better bonus.
If you cast Heroism first and next Mass version, Mass Heroism will not work no stack with Herosim, as stack already has better bonus.
