omg, stfu!!
inferno is teh sex in sod. if a heretic gets his hands on a wizads well, you will die after his third devil comes out (getting ww in 3 weeks is very doable)
fortress has always been strong but underestimated. now that serpent flies and lizardmen are buffed, they are actualy usable. along with imba gorgons and megaimba basilisk, how can you say they suck???
both towns are undeestimated cuz they require brain to play. nobody likes playing a town that doesnt have bless-prayer-griffin-champion or storm elementals
fly is not imba. if it is, it's the map-maker's fault. same for dd, it's only slightly stronger. only imba spell is berzerk, but good thing nobody uses it.
wog is a disaster. most wog options are omg-wtf-so-stupid
anyway, last time i tried, you can play homm3 on gamespy. i'm thinking about starting again. i'm always up 4 a game, i play complete

@GeneralCash 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.

Inferno can be good if you use diplomacy to abuse pit lord's demon resurrection ability, although that requires a fair amount of luck. I'd say Tower is actually the worst on low resource maps since they're resource heavy and kind of weak outside of nagas and titans. Both the tower and dungeon were heavily nerfed from their HOMM2 equivalents (Wizard and Warlock) because they were overpowered in that game.

you have no idea how wrong you are saying this especially talkin bout hmm3. you should better think more before write suck bullshit

In HOMM3, just like SC there are variabilities. 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.

And that particular sentence is PURE crap. 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?

@ Da_PlayerX & One Page Memory 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?

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.

i found my HOMMIII shadow of death disk and my armegedon's blade expansion, but they're so old i don't think my XP can initially run them. They work on my other computer that is a windows 98 so i know they work, I can't use that computer though it lags like no other. So i somehow need to get my XP to make CD think it's a 98 or just somehow get them to be compatible, I'm sure it's possible but I have no computer skills in that area. -btw what happens is if i go to my computer on the XP i see the CD and it's contents but the installer won't go.
-any help/advicewould be great, thanks

So there is a way to buff/nerf certain thing in any H3. You just have to make a text file in the same dir that the data files are. 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?
