 .Well, it feels like Homm 3 (to me, never played 4/5). The resources while less variable seem to work just fine, I never had a big overflow of anything in my first game and whiteout serious saving I couldn't make it to the "final" Unit. But I'm in no way an expert. The AI on "Normal" seemed basically non existant, I took 2 towns and had only once to fight against an enemy hero with an army of T1 Units (I already had full T2 and T1). On "hard" I'm not as far yet (still Week 2), but resources are more sparse and taking Exp instead of Gold seems to be no a real option... Btw: The skirmish Map that comes with the Beta seems very similar to the skirmish Map in the Homm 2 Demo (which I played on and off), maybe a little smaller. Nostalgia horray! Ghosts seem btw. a bit ridiculous with their Healing spell (+ Necromancy from your Hero... It's kinda hard to lose even a single unit against "weak" enemies if you are not lazy, it seemed to me as if either an enemy had to crush these stacks or he would not be able to do any damage at all...  )..I like it, it's just "Homm" .Could someone with a clue about how you "actually" play Homm a bit more serious give me some general Tipps? At first: Should I get as many different creatures as possible or make the T1's into Elites and then go T2? Ressources are sparse... (last time my first money went into a Second Hero, mainly for the extra Units he grants to clean up Mines --> Then the 3 T1 Unit-Buildings --> T2 Unit-Buildings... | ||

- Collecting minor stuff around the map. - Gaining a few extra skills invested in production/income. - Buying units and transporting them to your First Hero. | ||

Buit conversion should be WAY more expensive (2500 Gold to convert every building into that of your Capitol?... Last game i converted a City more teched as my own for 2500 Gold... Thats just ridiculous ^^).. The damn City i just converted netted me way more than that in one turn... | ||

It's always been like this. | ||

Question: whats featured in the beta? is there hotseat multiplayer? You get a campaign and 1 skirmish Map, Broken Alliance, you can Hotseat the skirmish .Sadly it does not run exactly stable for me... Sometimes it just freezse, minimising it? Forget it... As long as i just play and don't try to do something else on my second screen it runs "ok"... Not 100% but i could enjoy some 3h+ games whiteout any hickups (but loading a savegame is another story...) . | ||

That's literally the best way to play HoMM3 and HoMM5(never played other ones). If you played multiplayer you would understand how effective it is to have a hero train. | ||
