Been trying out a Tundra jungling idea. I have noticed that I end up falling behind in levels for a little while, but my farm is decently ahead/a lot ahead of the other teams players. Is this normal to jungling? I don't play too many jungling heroes so I don't really know what expect to happen.

I think you're supposed to keep up or be ahead a little so no that's not normal
Does tundra jungle actually work? Every single game I've tried it I just get warded and ganked and nothing really goes as planned

You can keep up pretty well with solo lanes with tundra, but its really hard to do if they ward the pull camp. Luckily you can use bird for aerial vision and counterward if they do. First stack the pull camp, then kill the level 1 camp. At :45, pull the pull camp. At about :54 use your axes to hit the camp above you as well as the camp your creeps are hitting, and run up and to the left. If you do it right you can stack both camps (the first one will be stacked for a 3rd time) and deny your creep wave.

Obviously if you see them ward and have to get bird at level 1 you have to wait until you hit 2 to do this.

Once you hit 3 pick up a bottle and spam axes on as many creeps as you can possibly hit them with. (aim for hitting 3 camps per cast, stack one and throw at another hitting all 3)

I actually haven't seen someone do it perfectly yet in HoN (merlini as BM was imba) but I've been able to keep up with solo lanes even making mistakes so out leveling them should be possible.

Oh and after 4 you can use your summon to tank for a couple hits.

NEW DOTA OMG MODE CAME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!
DL LINK: http://www.playdota.com/forums/redirect-to/?redirect=http://bob.prodota.ru/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=171.0;attach=59

Changelog:
* New skills are available in pool (after some recoding; all features are saved): Juxtapose, Grow (may has some scale glitches), Take Aim (range only), Jinada, Psi Blades (range only), Tide Bringer (melee only), Counter Helix, Sticky Napalm.
* Removed Natural Order and Charge of Darkness from pool.
* Fixed Lunar Blessing (vision).
* Changed Illuminate and Unstable Concoction type from multi-icon to normal, Forest Sentinel from normal to multi-icon.
* Replaced Enchant Totem from useless skills to normal.
* Skills replenish time in taverns is increased to 9999 seconds.
* Renamed -showallies into -showabilities (shorted -sa stays same). Now it shows everyone's abilities.
* Fixed Skewer.
* Tooltips fixes.

So if we played apad and i got drow with take aim i'd get like 900 range, add psi blades to that and i'll have like 1100. :O

Has anyone been able to transition from Hon back to dota? I don't know how anyone can play dota after playing hon.

I started off playing hon during it's beta, then moved to dota when I found a pretty big dota community in real life. Then I played a lot of dota and got good at it, don't want to go back to HoN now. Basically, prefer everything about dota now because I'm so used to the interface/feel.

Is it no stats only games, like the free to play weekend?

Sadly it is no stats again. Then again stats with free accounts for a week would probably make all the HoN community rage really hard.

When Bob released the new version of OMG adding the hard coded skills that weren't in there before, he added a lot more imba stuff into it. Tidebringer is sooo gooooooooood, esp combined with lulzy mort crits or vendetta or something. Having 100000 range is also pretty imba.

i'm pretty sure omg mode wasn't intended to be a balanced game from the start,
it's fun, and he added more fun to it
