We used to play it 2v2 (mostly on random imba maps though). I took almost forever to end the game... I'd say it's only good to play 1v1 on smallest map with decent amount of resources to start so it's not too boring and long. | ||

SoD is not the best because is very very imba. In WoG that imba is less. At least you can disable some mega imba spells like town portal, dimension door and fly. The Inferno and the fortress not suck so hard in WoG like in Sod... | ||

Man, you do not play enough. Everyone agrees that these two towns are the weakest. My favourite town is the fortress but it is very weak. There is the great article from Joker guy (not know name exactly) where he compare all towns. On tournaments the necromansers and conflux wins always (tower with chain-lighting guy). Also some heroes are too powerful (logistic, armorer, necromansy, skeletors and offence ). Diplomacy is disabled also. The fortress is too slow. You are slow on the map also because of that. I know the gorgons are great but that is simply not enough. The Inferno's units are too low on hp. That can be changed in WoG. Both towns are playable but also are the weakest. Try fortress against necro to see what imba is. Death stare doesn't work on undeads T_T. Berserker is imba but it is nothing compared to town portal or dimension door. If one player has one of that spells and other not game is over. That is known fact. Fly is also imba. WoG is great because you can make game to be more balanced. For example those spells can be disabled. Conflux can be weakened (less Pxonexes) and other towns can be stronger (fortress and inferno for example). Some abilities can be buffed (eagle-eye, learning...) so they are not useless in WoG. WoG can be what you want it to be. That is why it is so better than others heroes. If you want plain SoD you can play it in WoG. If you want to make game more fun at balance cost it is also possible (unit experience, fun but imba). If you want more balanced game you can achieve that also. Great mode of heroes indeed, imo. In games like heroes there is not too much brain. At the end you know exactly what you should do. Luck desides most of the games. If you want brainy games play chess or go. | ||

In SC the map is major factor - so in HOMM3. Dimension, Fly etc. are banned in all tournaments anyway. Necro&Conflux are played only mirror. The Fortress is MAJOR force in HOMM3, no fucking way the Fortress is weak. On November 30 2006 05:54 Byyk wrote: In games like heroes there is not too much brain.

Luck is no major factor, although it may decide games. How much games would you take from number 1 HOMM3 player if you play 100 games with him? | ||

You guys sound serious. HoMM3 is the brainy game but still it cannot be compared with chess for instance. I cannot imagine how someone can beat you all the time. What he do so better than you guys? I only ask that if you give me a good reason maybe I play several games with my gamemates again. I won mostly but sometimes if I dont have luck I simply have no chance (no way to find critical resourcec). Which maps do you play? Where do you put than fortress in the tier list? And why do you think that SoD is better than WoG? | ||

And why do you think that SoD is better than WoG? Bykk, a lot of tournament maps eliminates the luck factor by banning skill finds, diplomacy and necromancy. I THINK Logistics might be banned as well but I'm not sure. They also balance it out by allowing both sides to be able to find all their resources relatively easily. Download some Test of Honor maps (or is it called Test of Titans? I forget but check the link I posted earlier) and try them out. As for tier list, Fortress is mid, they get decent troops early on, only hydras can't really compete but you get wyverns out turn 2 or 3 and mighty gorgons later. Weakest is most definitely inferno, and then probably tower since magic 5 is banned in most games if I recall. | ||

It can be extracted and then modified. You can edit Hp/dmg grownth... but not special effect abilities or building effects. I personally tweaked the fire spells(fireball, inferno) because they are useless (unless starting andra with inferno), giving them 16*power per level. Animate dead -> increased cost or lowered effect for sure(it's better than ressurection and also cheaper and lvl3). Making utopia tougher. Pit lord cost lowered.... ...many more The sad thing is H3 has no anti-hack abuse(and believe me the is a very easy way to abuse), also there are no replays so All comes down to ... ...making very specific balanced map, disabling imba spells(fly for sure) and artifacts tweaking some units, and players that are to play fair and for fun. | ||

I played a lot HOMM3, several times beat the best player in the world. There are SO MANY things about HOMM3 that you probably don't know and are VITAL. I myself have played 3-4 years intensivly and still find something small when I watch Rock play. Every template has his own laws, requirements and flaws. It's up to the player to know them - with many practice games. You know each hero which skills are most likely to raise and on what level? You know like your fingers each of the basic templates? No? A little test for you (simple - hard - hardest): 1. What gives Unicorn in a combat to friendly units and how much? 2. Which is acknowledged as the best original template? 3. On a template "Ready Or Not" who wins (at least 90 %) and why? And just because you asked - Rock_bul's some advantages are: - very good transfer of the forces; - flawless battle management; - perfect awareness of the templates, heroes (what may raise any hero, what should CEIRTAIN raise, etc.); - he is MEAN; And Rock_bul was something 169-13 in the league IIRC. That's enormous luck? Yes? | ||

Yours post helps a lot. @One Page Memory <You just have no idea whom you're messing with> You are certainly right. <Who said HOMM3 can be compared to chess - I play chess at competitive level too.> You play chess at competitive level and you said that. Man, do you have any title or something? <1. What gives Unicorn in a combat to friendly units and how much? 20% magic resistance <2. Which is acknowledged as the best original template? Dunno. I expect the answer. <3. On a template "Ready Or Not" who wins (at least 90 %) and why? Dunno. I expect the answer. <- very good transfer of the forces; <- flawless battle management; <- perfect awareness of the templates, heroes (what may raise any hero, what should CEIRTAIN <raise, etc.); <- he is MEAN; Why dont you just copy him, especially at the fourth attribute ? You see how he plays and copy next time. Why that is not possible. In chess that is not possible but in HoMMIII it is very likely. Now you will probably say it is not. Why? <And Rock_bul was something 169-13 in the league IIRC. That's enormous luck? Yes? Probably not. | ||

If you want brainy games play chess or go. true, i havent played much in the last 4-5 years. but i had more than 150 games on just on toh before that. i left purely cuz of the community, it was full of guys like you. what does it mean that everyone agrees?? i don't. just cuz someone is good with some town and considers it the strongest, doesnt mean that it is indeed imba strong town, just that it fits his play style good. how is fortress slow, dragon fly has 13 move, the next creature with the lowest lvl with that speed is efreet sultan... i see you haven't faced much first day abuse with dragon/basilisk on small maps. true that fortress has a hard time vs necro, but necro has a hard time vs conflux, and conflux gets raped by stronghold on small maps and tower on large ones, etc. it's kinda like p<z<t. all mu-s are slill playable, but ppl only play conflux, castle, necro, and a little castle. i play mostly fortress and also a lot of inferno, and i used to win games, so dont tell me they are too strong. vs tough opponents, i tend to pick necro, but only if i know the map well. i also like rampart (very underrated). 90% of games i lost were vs conflux cuz i didn't understand how they work. i started laning with friends recently and took conflux for fun. i think i could beat a conflux player of my level right now. as for spells, they should not ban fly cuz it's too strong, but ban summon air and fire, and mirror cuz it's too weak for a lvl 5. lvl 5 spells should be strong. you cant have more than 1-2 caster heroes, but i've seen ppl go 4-5 fighters cuz they need much lower lvl to be effective. that's why casters need the improved mobility from fly and dd. | ||

Used to remember if there was angel's wings on map somewhere I just went all-in to get it asap and afterwards rob the map of artifacts. Problem with H3 is all growth rates are x2(since citadel+castle +100%). So you can't make 3 phoenixes per week, and e.g. 5 magic elementals to compensate. | ||

Template jebus cross can be found here along with other not that rich templates described in the site: http://www.wizardsandwarriors.net/maps/randomtemp.htm note: after downloading the template(txt file), it should be put in data directory in HMM3 folder and renamed to "RMG.txt" , then you create random map and if the set template match the options you selected the game will start. So everybody who want to play more balanced games should try some templates' jebus cross is richest but definately is most IMBA template due to number of dwelling/utopias placement in players' teritories so be careful with it. basicly i dont recommend using of fly/dd, diplomacy,cartografer, hill fort, heroes with speciality logisticks and 4lvl spells(as main) , 4-5lvl scrolls,red rush'" these are only my reccomendations to make real and balanced game which is not decided before the start! Enjoy everybody! edit* i need to add that all misplaced guards must be fought! imagine if you take sword of judgement without beating the guard! WTF | ||

For anyone, I don't know if utopias are generated random or not but the player down on the map had 2 and I had only ony one(and was generated probably the weakest one - least artifats). Also you should take your cities ASAP - they are located left-bottom and up-right, some creatures may interfere but the town are almost free so to make city hall asap, and maybe switch to prod, if resources favour it better... There are more spell/knowledge dwellings on maps so you can orient your main hero on that, implo/resu power... but if your opponent just has better arti you don't stand chance. | ||

jebus cross as i said is like BGH in HMM3 mode cuz its richest. mostly it is generated pretty imba but its fun to play 2vs2 on it simply b/c its separated for four players/territories. on such templates is good to build your army first - stronghold must build behemots with castle first week. also dwellings are one of the most important things in such templates, try to get them as early as possible... i always risk to get 1 week 7lvl dwelling! at this point i thing i win the game with this risky move simply b/c i can explore faster... its pretty much like macroing in SC along with microing. thats why hmm3 is so great - all depends on you and your skills and judgement of doing things(risky or not). 1week 7lvl dwelling won me like 15-20 games(10 of them on 2vs2)! what i can say its jebus its all possible! | ||

My girlfriend and I are playing Heroes 3 again but we've completed all the Allied scenarios so there's little for us to do besides play Random Maps together. The problem is, setting up 2v2comp or 2v3comp matches is more difficult than the Multiplayer menu leads on. So we'll set up 4 Human or Computer players, 2 Human or Computer teams, 2 Computer Only players, and 1 Computer Only team - logically you would think that would put 2 humans versus 2 computers but it doesn't work out that way. What am I missing here? Right now she's looking at allied maps to download from random HoMM3 sites but who knows if those will be any good. Halpmeh TL gurus! | ||

I tried googling this issue but the only real suggestion offered was to remove all maps from the map folder except for one, which we did, and it didn't help. It seems like everyone who had this problem and asked about it that I could find through google just disappears without giving any information about how they solved this problem, or if they solved it at all. Anyone have any suggestions? | ||

My map has been very warmly welcomed by the community and been called by many to be the best out there, hence I'm sharing with you the latest (and probably final version of it): http://www.maps4heroes.com/forum/opinions.php?game=3&map_id=1431 For those of you that decide to give it a shot, I suggest to download a HD Luncher extension that will the game look much better and also improves the UI a lot: https://sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/eng/download About the map: - You can select any of 6 castles and you start in roughly same, balanced position - Difficulty level is very high so consider taking 200% only if you are an expert at HoMM, otherwise start with a lower difficulty as map would still be tough. - This is the maximum size of a map you can make so prepare for a loong game - I've spent roughly 10 months to make, obviously with periods where I didn't touch it but well.. that was a lot of time and effort. Good luck | ||

i was able to beat campaign on hardest difficulty but had to abuse save/load. that's cause your heroes transfer between levels, and once you get expert earth magic or even expert air magic IT IS ALL OVER. expert earth gives you a town portal that lets you return to any castle, and of course expert air magic gives you dimension door. both spells are broken. combined doesnt matter how tough the CPU is. other tactics i abused were getting a super fast unit - faster than whatever the fastest enemy unit was, loading it on a non campaign hero with expert in some magic type, and then hitting an enemy hero within range of castle. i would cast chain lightning at match start, then immediately surrendering. since my unit would be fastest, i would be guaranteed first move. since i would only have one unit in my army, surrender would be cheap. then i would immediately re hire hero in castle, and repeat over and over again until enemy army had been whittled down by repeated chain lightning casts. then i could just TP my campaign hero in and wreck shop. i went to a heroes forum and mind was blown by how advanced the tactics were. building lots of mule heroes so that you could transport/transfer entire troops in a turn or 2. unsurprisingly, i learned that spells like dimension door and TP were BANNED since it was so unbalancing if one side got it and the other didnt, since mage guild spells are random | ||

I used to play this game with both of my sister's, while we were all on our own computers. This game was my first experience with IP / router configurations. Spend days as a 10 year old to try to make this work. Before that we used hotseat, but once we all had our own computer, I wanted to fix it. We didn't have internet at the time, so there was no google or anything Damn, the memories!! | ||

http://www.heroes3maps.com/map/12698-discord (XL, very open, 8 players, some alliances, assymetrical) http://www.heroes3maps.com/map/12054-fire-emblem (M, starting buildings and armies vary, special objective, can be played coop) http://www.heroes3maps.com/map/12048-discovery (L, 3 players FFA, exploration, designed with multiplayer in mind) they are also on this site : https://www.maps4heroes.com/heroes3/maps.php?keywords=discord&type=&size=&difficulty=&humans=0&teams=0&players=0&sort=5 and you can find many other maps there ofc, people upload regularly. I think one reason why they play only random maps in multiplayer is because map knowledge is super critical while a game lasts a long or very long time. You'd have to have both players know the entire map for having played in singleplayer before playing together in multiplayer, or how do you know the other player doesn't know it ? Only one detail omitted may screw you over due to the cheer difference it could make, like some strong monster being set to "join you always" or something. Probably ppl also enjoy exploring an unknown map in multiplayer in this game. Wish designed maps were played more in multiplayer because there are things computers are just not able to do. (one fix would be to show starting map details, instead of complete black fog of war) btw game is pretty masterpiece wished better multiplayer playability (games are just too long aren't they? need simultaneous turns and stuff) and better AI I guess for more interesting difficulty (here difficulty comes from heavy handicap to yourself which limits the valid strategies. I guess it's always like that almost. Well at least the handicap is only about the starting resources and clearly stated). Still think this is the best of the series, though 4 seemed interesting original twist and 5 had good ideas (good looks, hero skill customization, unit types) but less polish and balance. Still haven't tried horn of the abyss unofficial expansion, seems to be good and what most players play now (?) | ||

Now WoG is a whole different beast. The sheer amount of changes and customization in that version of HoMM3 is really staggering. Leaving aside Tier 8 creatures from every town that are more or less each on the level of a Rust or Crystal Dragon, WoG also aims to implement many HoMM 4 changes into HoMM 3. For example heroes physically fighting on the ground alongside your forces. It isn't strictly speaking your hero, but a very powerful lieutenant unique creature that can also affect morale and cast spells itself. If it's your 1st time "modding" go with HotA, because it even has a competitive scene. WoG is pretty hardcore and unbalanced TBH, but still can be fun when you fine-tune it to your liking. Just compstomp on it for funsies. | ||

If you want to play on one comp with friends I suggest just doing a hot-seat but setting turn time limit to 1 minute. It goes relatively quickly then as people only do the most necessary things. | ||

I really like the idea of town portal being a very expensive building instead of a spell (dimension door and town portal are OP). Also, the skill trees like in HOMM5 would be nice as they offered a bit more variety. Diplomacy and necromancy are completely broken in HoMM3 and could also use a rework (I'd remove diplo entirely).

man the shadow of death campaign, crack hack sub campaign is ridiculously tough. i remember beating it on impossible difficulty with save/reload a decade ago, but then this time around, i could not beat the second level. could only do it on expert. the second level is the one where the computers are protected by border gates, the border tent keymasters are either behind enemy lines or guarded by faerie dragons, and by week 2 you get attacked by a monstrous cpu army. a lot of it relies on getting the right skills in the first level of subcampaign, specifically earth magic and fire magic. i think a decade ago i relied on blind and mass slow. for the life of me i can't beat it now. going to revisit this again at some point. | ||

Game length and waiting while the other plays is a real issue too (and what about games with more than 2 players!). Settlers 2 had a 2 mice split screen multiplayer mode, I think this would be worth exploring for a Heroes type of game but it is challenging to design so that it would work with a similar design (likely need to change things in the design, hero movement and interaction/attack during a simultaneous turn? set up stances or something??).

Fun, but takes all night to play a single game sometimes. If you want to play with newer player than simultaneous turns won't help you much either because at some point you'll have to wait for him to catch up anyway. With new players it's best to take it slow and just enjoy it. Heroes series isn't really a game that was designed to blast through a dozen games a day like RTSs.
