Just a tip if you don't want to see the movement range all the time: when you hold Alt (which highlights items on the map) you will also see your movement range. Super useful!

oh wow I didn't know there was a co-op beta! This game is going to end up being a masterpiece.

This is a fantastic game! I never played the might and magic games and yet I still love it. I think there is a lot to like about Songs of Conquest. Thanks for the tips there were a couple of things I didn't realise. One tip I'd like to add is that building multiple marketplaces gives both a discount on buying and a bonus to selling materials. There was nothing which suggested this in the tooltips, though it might be in the codex and I never noticed. But it certainly is an easy one to miss, so I thought I'd mention it :)

Gold is King though, with enough markets you can buy any other resource without much trouble, specially late game when money isn't a problem after occupying an enemy town.

The game is amazing! The devs are really great as well and have fixed sooooo much!

Time stamps make it so easy to use this video as you go through the game, thank you so much. As far as the game I'm super surprised at how much effort is they put in. I had a great time with my first few skirmishes and I hope they do well enough to add expansions in the future.

A very beautiful game. Thank you for showing it.

Thanks for your insight, it´s really enjoyable. To be honest i´m stuck in the second campaign right now and wanted to look up some practical tips, which you provided, so thanks a bunch.

Just downloaded the game from Steam and pleasantly surprised that it's working on my Mac (Big Sur os)! Just started the opening campaign and found your into video to be super helpful. You've earned a new sub... and looking forward to watching more as I learn the game! Cheers!

Thanks for the info! great video!

i always do double research. knights/archers/swordsman i such a strong combo in full research

One tip that can be a bit easy to miss is that Lumbermills and Stoneyards can actually be upgraded too, not just the creature settlements!

So helpful, I wish you could tell more about things we are collecting how to understand it better and what matters most Stage 4 of 1st campaign is so hard still failing to succed after hours and hours trying my best to beat it

Awesome video, very helpful!

Really good intro to the game, thanks!

Ironically, Heroes IV is my favourite of the series. It is gorgeous, I like fielding the generals in battle, I adore the art and love the music, and the multifaceted magic system is very much to my taste. With hidden spells and classes depending on your heroes specializations. Heroes II is my second favourite, that old school pixel art, the bright colours, the fantasy music. It was nostalgic even when I played it for the first time, I love nearly all of the old game in so many ways. Heroes III however is in that weird spot of graphics and artstyle I struggle with, I find the factions unbalanced as hell, and while there are so many different units they are all sort of the same. This game however doesn't quite feel like Heroes III for me, the artstyle is far better, the factions are far more distinct. And as my favourites are Warlock/Dungeon/Chaos I think I'll go with Arleon. They seem to me be a Knight/Warlock or Life/Chaos faction, as the fey are less D&D faeries and more vengeful celtic spirits feasting on human flesh. It also gives the rest of the faction a nice tone, the mounted knights are less paladin and more Mordred the betrayer.

Hey hey hey people :D

Ive only just purchased this game, it looks right up my street!! Great vid dude, subbed!

Will be playing this and the new Caster of Magic Warlords this season. The Dynamic duo . I assume the talk here of "rushing dragons" or "upgrading your existing army" will be much more even once players become better at the game. I assume if your really going ham like some homm iii players do in PVP you could bypass the slow creep to super powerful and just go right to the goods early and then leverage that power to then go back and upgrade your other standard troops. So excited to snag this one up and start playing the 1st campaign tonight!

Wow I feel dumb totally didn't understand that was the point to the rally point! So useful, I'll have it from now on!

Great Guide!

What I love about this game is how the different units really feels different with special abilities etc. however the game is less accessible than homm due to this as well as the magic system. Having so many «cogs» that work together makes the game hard when you start out but makes it soo much more fun to play in the long run.

If you've played HOMM3 and HOMM2 you're 84.9% in. If you've also played King's Bounty you're +10% on top of that. The only thing really apart from other games "of the same ilk" is the magic system. You can cast everything from the start. You just don't have the essence(s) generation to do it. Which means spells are much more accessible, but kind of weaker ... until they are OP. Game's pretty good in QoL department. They took some of HOMM3 popular moding QoL ideas and implemented them. Also the AI isn't terrible. Auto battle is useful in saving time and if you position your troops correctly for the auto battle that improves the odds of not losing troops unnecessarily. Also good advices in the video. Though [Alt] is the only key you need.

Does tearing down buildings to make space for others become a tactically important aspect someway down the road? I feel like f.e. deconstructing a quarry which I "only" build to be able to recruit Armored Riders, to make space for a Rally Point, is a thing to consider later in the game.

End Turn Behavior - what is the difference between Simple and Advanced?

I bought this the firat second I could, this is a gem of a game.

Thanks

Maybe a dubbel click feature could be implemented, as an opption, to not skipp the text but skipp the movement?

Has anyone found a good way to quickly toggle between settlements? I have a hard time remembering where they are on the map each turn.

Cheers

This is might and magic but just the good parts.

Is there no option to restart a level from the initial state? I'm stuck on mission 3 of the first campaign and I got attacked by two factions at once and it just ends my campaign. All of my saves have it so that these two enemies are right on top of me :(

Hows the campaign for this game. I don't really PvP so I'm mostly interested in that.

Is the rally point bugged? I created it in my second town (my first one was fully upgraded) and I can't buy shit from there.

After several hours in, i wanna mention that game gets really boring on a global map. As it now the best way to play is a duel, because AI tends to send swarms of wielders at our base. There is also a certain tempo we have to follow. If we fail to keep up with this tempo we will lose. Which also means i fail to see a reason to build techology upgrades buldings, because game will end faster, than effect of upgrades would become useful. Other than that, the game is great, i hope for more factions though, Arleon is fun, but Fay theme kinda ruins it for me. Loth is cool, but really straight forward. Rana is just an instant no. Barya... ok i guess. I hope the developr would reconsider this behavior of constant pressure by AI, because it gets old and boring really fast.

You should have stayed playing as the tutorial campaign faction. Unfortunately there's a campaign spoiler here regarding the Barony of Loth.

Shortcut for cityscroll is ctrl-tab. So inconvenient.

I’m the opposite, I’ve never ever played a skirmish in any Heroes game yet played 1000+ hours of alllll the campaigns

Some things you Will Learn when you play the songs And some you Will Learn by playing multi

first 5 minutes could been put in 30 seconds. Still good video thank you

gold is king more gold you ca ntrade for all other resorse and just dont give af

Never use an apostrophe to pluralize anything, ever. The plural form of RPG is simply RPGs.

I for one thank the devs for letting me turn off that atrocious zoom.

Is there a way in the settings to turn the antialising off for the pixels? I would play if graphics were sharper honestly. When I watch this video my eyes bleed.

The skill section of the codex is useless. You cannot find what kills the heroes learn from there.

the ai in this game is brutal, not gonna buy the game until its balanced.

that video could be a 3rd its time

You need to be very stupid or careless about the game if you dont touch campaign at all. Doesn't matter if it's HoMM, SoC or any other game that has a campaign.

really want the game ... but 4 factions is the biggest turn off...

it's a reverse racist game - there's no adequate european male heroes at all I remember that in heroes of might magic 3 there was a perfect balance between males and females, races etc. But here when I try to find a hero which can represent my personality I find none (only old guy or a fat guy). There are no positive male characters in campaign at all, no choicesl - you must play female character which has african girlfriend, why so ? is it LGBT/SJW game ? The main auditory for such game are males (mostly Europeans) - have you ever been to Heroes of Might and Magic, Age of Wonders or Disciples community - females there are rare guests and are remembered as legends for decades, and primarly consists of Poland, Germany, Post-USSR countries.

This game wiped the floor with Total Warhammer.
