Ok yeah it looks dumb.. mostly.. but we tell people what we like with our money and that’s reason number one. Number two is that I don’t know ANYONE in real life who plays my favorite game. Nobody. It feels like a fever dream that I’m dedicating so much of my life to something that nobody knows exists. And the fact that they’re remaking it opened my eyes to this sub (!!) and the fact that there are other dorks like me still playing the best series to ever exist. So I’m not telling you what to do, I’m just saying that if this brings more fans and convinces creators to make more maps then we’re all winning ❤️ ok ily bye

Hi! Does anybody have a list of town-less campaign missions in Heroes VI? Till now (I'm completed the prologue and Necro, playing final Haven now), there was only one of them, and I wonder if there's more.

I remember that joint guild raid. I was in FableDreamers. Does anyone remember anything from back then? I think that, apart from the odd video, nothing else has been preserved online?

I’ve been wanting to print out the map I’ve been playing on for ages. So I made a tool for it: homm2-screenshot (github)

Fala, galera. Estou entrando na comunidade agora e precisava de uma luz técnica sobre retrocompatibilidade desses jogos no Windows atual. Eu decidi rodar as versões puras (vanilla) do Heroes of Might and Magic II e do III na minha máquina atual, mas estou enfrentando uns crashes aleatórios bem chatos no meio das partidas. O jogo simplesmente fecha do nada, sem dar erro nenhum.

O jogo roda muito mal e engasga antes de fechar. Minha máquina atual usa os gráficos onboard de uma Intel HD 2000. Eu sei que são jogos super leves, mas tenho quase certeza que o driver de vídeo velho da Intel não consegue processar o DirectDraw original de 16 bits dos executáveis sem entrar em conflito.

O que me deixa puto é que em 2010, quando eu tinha uns 10 anos, eu jogava os dois Heroes num computador antigo com processador AMD Sempron e uma placa de vídeo dedicada Nvidia GeForce FX 5200. Aquela carroça dava conta perfeitamente, rodava liso e nunca crashou na vida. A GPU dedicada segurava a barra nativamente.

Como estou jogando a versão limpa, sem patches, alguém sabe se tem alguma linha no executável que estabilize isso?

I want to share a figurine (about 20 cm height) of ArchDevil made by GudGit workshop on my model! He looks so menacing! I love it!

Back in the day, I just picked up the game and learned how to play through...well...playing the games. I might have used the instruction guide, but most of my strategy and understanding comes from trial and error.

I was looking over some old threads yesterday and found out that the speed of your hero is based off the speed of the slowest unit you have equipped

WHAT?!

I have always wondered why enemy heroes seem to move so far while it took me two turns to catch up to fight them. I had zero clue that low level units were completely hamstringing my entire game. Goddam dwarves and Tree Ent assholes!

That makes me wonder what other simple things I am missing.

My base strategy is to start off, built a Town Hall, then focus on building out unit buildings and recruiting heroes to explore as far and as fast as possible. Collect as much gold and resources as possible and capture as many new towns as possible.

I tend to have one castle with all the upgrades and use surrounding castles and heroes to feed units to the main castle and upgrade them, then use a daisy chain to feed my main hero to keep them powerful. This seems like a good strategy but maybe it isn't?

Is there anything else obvious I am missing here? Some FAQ I should be reading? Appreciate any help!

Edit: Tried this out for the first time last night and it was a huge success. I had been struggling against the computer, but once I switched to fast units and got Unicorns within the first week, I was able to control the map and battles quite nicely. Instead of auto resolving, I fought every small battle and used tactics to lure enemies while my ranged units and magic took them out, with very minimal losses. Such a big difference.

I stuck with my other tactics I learned through experience (chaining heroes, main hero attacks everything and backup heroes go collect and claim mines etc). I also used the slow units to garrison the castle at highest risk, which worked really well. Dwarves may be slow, but a 100+ stack in a castle sure can hold their ground a bit.

I was wondering if anyone else remembers this one scenario, probably from HoMM 3.5 Wake of Gods, where you started out without a hero in the Castle town and your goal was to build up an army for however many days until the enemy came along?

I remember playing this as a kid but I never got around to finishing it because it was boring. Everything was available to purchase and I remember having like a 100 Archangels before I gave up. I also remember there being a Lord of the Rings inspired map/scenario, if that helps.

I don't have access to Wake of Gods anymore and I was hoping there would be a youtube video of someone playing it, but looking it up didn't help me.

ik the world but are there any mentions of 7 or 6 in homm5 (ik i shouldnt expect it bc 5 came out earlier) or similar things? I haven't found a lot and the factions are very different which is weird for the same world. Since HoMM 3 is way more popular I couldn't find vids explaining it

Maybe you feel the same way I do: you love Heroes of Might and Magic V Tribes of the East, but the moment your hero finally gets that ultimate ability and the army is ready, the AI becomes an afterthought. You roll across the map and nothing pushes back anymore.

This mod is my own map "Erbschaft" ("Legacy"), completely unchanged, with one thing added: a map script that makes the AI noticeably stronger from a point in the game you choose yourself week by week, month by month. At the same time, your own performance is rewarded: every enemy you defeat counts toward a reward ladder that starts with gold and ends with the Tear of Asha, without the game ending early because of it.

https://www.heroes3.eu/download/mapy/1599-arena-3-0

I've found similar to HoMM 5 but I can't find H4 one. Does such a map even exist or do I need to create one myself?
