Full playlist link here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8BhhM6fydyUnpc.html The mod I'm using is the HD mod - note this is for Heroes 3 Complete and does not work with Heroes 3 HD Edition from Steam: sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/

I am lucky to find someone on the internet who gives Heroes 3 the love it deserves.

I was suffering in bed with 39 C fever, having insane shivers and muscle pain from covid shot, and the only thing that could ease my mind and distract me was your videos. Thank you for your continous work to entertain us!

I can't express how deeply soothing these videos are to me. thank you so much for making them.

Norovo video to watch while chilling after work, just what I needed

You inspired me to pick this game up and actually learn wtf everything is about. Instead of playing it out of nostalgia. Thanks mate, keep on the good work

When i was around 9 my father showed ne this game, and i loved it, but didnt understand anything. Now, 7 years later i picked it up again, and thanks to you i finally understand what im supposed to do.

Thank you for the Heroes content! I just got back to HoMM3 and wanted to watch some content to maybe improve my own play, which mostly came to slowing down and utilizing more one stacks. Now I'm just going through your videos and finding them pretty entertaining, so thanks

Your videos are a source of knowledge and comfort... thank you!

This made my day. Thank you for making these videos!

I remember when I was 14 and loved this game. It was pretty simplistic, yet it had TONS or replayability. Thanx for the fond memories of better, simpler times, Norovo! 👍👍 (P.s. re-installed just because of this vid 😁)

Good job of taking us through your thought process.

Love the playthrough so far! It promises to be a hard and entertaining journey.

this was a gem of a video to find. very good job.

Just what I needed

One of my all time favourite games from when I was young, great to see HOMM 3 still being played

The "Oooooh Shhhhugar" made my day. Love your videos.

I found out about the HD mod to this AMAZING game through you ! And i deeply thank you for that. THANK YOU SIR!!!

Love your series. Keep it up!

@37:06 What an oddly convenient boon. 😊

I've been watching this game over the past week, longer videos are fine👌🏻 Keep it up!

Hey Norovo! thanks for the upload, always appreciate your long videos. Hope everything is ok with you! cheers

1:29:09 Oh man I literally just finished watching your Christmas Special with Daremyth and seeing the Earth Elemental spell scroll sure brought back some memories from that playthrough... sheesh...

You just taught me that creature dwellings at +1 growth. I had no idea. Also didn't know they didn't accumulate, but that's not as relevant as I would usually hire them anyway. The amount of little details and quirks in this game never ceases to surprise me.

Clearly he is way better than me at the game, but I was constantly surprised he waited so long for the city hall and then capitol. I usually rush those asap.

I really enjoyed this video. keep it up!

I see you play and instantly get nostalgic... you play so good! dont hold any punches lol also make an effort to pass on your knowledge with us! awsome!

This gives me anxiety and makes me cozy at the same time.

You made me buy Heroes 3 on GOG. Thanks!

Love this franchise!

this game is so damn good, so glad i found your channel! might start playing it again

Super crazy, I just finished playing a map with Loynis, he's fantastic. Thanks for making these videos! I've been playing this game for most of my life now and it's wild how well its held up. I've been playing valeska recently, but I wish we could get heroes like Gelu and Dracon in single scenario mode.

The most chill stuff on KZfaq right now.😁

Good work! :D I like watching you like in the background. Currently thinking about playing HoMM3 again when some time frees up :P as you probably see, it is time consuming.

I started playing heroes III back in 2000....and i still play.....when i have free time

It was great to watch!

Yes! Perfect.

Been awhile since I watched your channel. Glad to be back. And you grew a lot since last time we spoke

I only ever played on normal difficulty and leaned heavily on expert earth magic with town portal

New heroes 3 videos are an instaclick for me, great vid!

A fun watch!

Ohh I loved this game so much 😍 good old days 🤗🤗

Lyonis is always my favorite choice, Prayer for the whole Army later is just... Delicious

I'm so used to playing WoG this seems quite unusual. Commanders are so OP early game :D

This is the ASMR of video game content

Loinus is my favorite hero. Prayer early game (and with expert bonus late game) is very very useful.

I’m hooked on your videos

This was my favorite games when i was a kid. God them loved it, was not very good at it though :D Love the vid! Thanks for putting it up on youtube!

I'm a little late to the party on this video. But, really good opening. I kind of prefer the "stickier" playthroughs a la the Straker and Daremyth ones which were really entertaining and some masterful comebacks and strategising. Best of luck with the game squire! Keep up the good work

Ideal skills imo: 1. Wisdom 2. Intelligence 3. Earth 4. Air 5. Water 6. Logistics 7. Pathfinding 8. Archery Like I said the last time, I still think the best strategy with Castle and Rampart is to upgrade archers tower for more than double damage in the 1st 2 days of play.

great series!

amo este juego. Gracias por compartir

legit hyped

Thanks!

Fun to see you struggle a bit :)

Fun to watch. Alliance emeny actually makes the game easier because their heroes wouldn't farm enough to grow crazy stats and skill level.

Forces of Evil: We have 7 warlords, powerful monsters, many cities, and tons of monsters! Forces of Good: We have a Norovo.

Right in time!

thanks for sharing

1:10:40 Makes a mistake "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuger" Made me laugh

Nice vid!

37:08 haha, even the game follows your idea of a griffin power stack. you even have the griffin specialist on your side ;-)

I don't know if i'm right but i believe not allying the enemies with each other or setting them in multiple teams would increase the difficulty of the map, because it allows the enemies to snowball much better as they aren't being locked eating each other's resources an towns off. anyways great content, i love watching your Homm3 videos!

Hype!!!

thanks

>takes 1 step >blocked by horde of skeletons right next to a Portal of Glory Whichever deity random'ed this map was having a laugh

saves two pikemen from loss...losses two pikeman compaired to autobattle. PERFECTLY BALANCED, AS ALL THINGS SHOULD BE.

The most magical game ever made.

1:02:38 Great suspense with tough decision making. Btw u know what would be kl? U could save at moments like that after the play through u could come back just for this one fight and have it in form of post scriptum bonus at the end or smth like that, just to see how it would went otherwise, would be much fun to see:)

At 1:01:36 you might have had to give "haste" or "teleport" to get the archers out. And maybe against the Angel's hut you should have take out the archers of the stack and left only the royal griffins. Otherwise a good game. Most players would restart the card if they were blocked in the beginning.

"...probably to the West, because we can see a Monolith..." Dude, how TF can you tell that those couple of pixels against the Fog of War are a Monolith?!?

Great video. Love your play style. What is the keyboard shortcut you use when splitting units to place one in each empty space?

NICE

Great video! Random question though, why is the music different?

How do you get the ability to see which stack is next in turn? I can't seem to find any option for this in the HD-mod. Also, great, interesting video! It's nice to hear you explain your moves.

Norovo: "Ssss-" KZfaq: DEMONETIZATION! Norovo: "-ugar.." KZfaq: Close one... maybe next time (1:10:40)

Dude, I am playing a beautiful world with my sis on 100% and we strugled a lot at the beginning, cause I put all bots in teams of 2 as well. The mod I am using actually have way harder AI then the base game. I appreciate that you use human faction, cause I havent made any proper teams, that could do much, just general builds, that I thought I am good with

Loynis my favor too lol

Prayer is one of the most broken spells in this game: It's basically haste, stone skin and bloodlust all in one spell.

Bro I suddenly remembered I used to play this when I was like 8 and now I'm like how could I play it

Damn it... I had forgotten HoMM 3 for years... Suddenly this video was suggested and I just realised I must play it again.... Don't know if there's any decent multiplayer action anymore but I'll just start with AI players I guess! Random map was the best thing to be included in HoMM3 !!

Can you do a Heroes of might and magic 2 playthrough? Would love to see that!

cool man

Great video, gotta pick up this game again! Question, I noticed you didn't pick up certain resources when passing, is this because you want to save travel points for scouting?

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAA!

I'm using the HD mod but I don't get things like seeing how far the enemy will move and seeing the turn order at the bottom - Is this another mod?

So, help me out here. I come from only really playing HOMM4, but i downloaded HOMM3 and 4 from GoG recently and really trying to understand 3. Does the impossible difficulty only work because the A.I have trouble clearing the creeps from around the base or no because they get huge advantages?

14:11 battle- in sytuation like this you need to set gryfs at position 2 and 6, but in that sytuation you should put haste on pikiner before you move gryfs maximum forward, and than push pikiners maximum forward... the morales show im right.... 14:25 gryfs shoul atack upper gremiln not just blocking.

Hope they remake this amazing game in 2023, make Multi player easier to connect and updated graphics. HOMMIII is the BEST

Build a cityhall asap. Whats the point of building up the military if you have no money to buy the units.

Hey so, the link for the HD mod is down but I found it on the Nexus, at least I assume it's the same because they link to the same website that is also down, but when I play I don't have a turn order or see enemy numbers when I check, and I can't find any settings for it. Is it the wrong mod or are there hidden settings somewhere? Sorry to come at you with just a tech question, I'm really enjoying the video and using it to try to learn how to get better at the game myself.

Hey, great video, just wanted to ask. How do you install the hd mod? I bought the complete version which is not hp so I was just wondering how to get the hd mod to work, thanks.

good shit

I just got the game and I am hooked how do you play the shadow version or the other expansion in the scenario?

The way you fought the horned demons at the initial portal of glory makes no sense to me.

Do you have a video about settings of Heroes III ?

Soooo, considering you said you want to grow your channel: Watchtime percentage is a pretty important part of getting videos recommended. Now, I personally can almost never finish an episode in one sitting, because usually I only have time while I eat or am on a small break (20-30 mins), and I am guessing that even though youtube puts me back to the timestamp I left at, it still counts it as a new view, further lowering the watchtime percentage. I haven't really tested this, it's just a theory, but either way... it might be worthwhile considering cutting up episodes into little 20 minute chunks. There are two reasons this might help your channel out: For one, it fixes the possibility that the watchtime percentage is lower even when the viewer is enjoying the video (simply not having enough time to watch the whole episode), and two, it could allow you to upload semi-daily, and youtube loves consistent frequent uploads! And as a bonus, finding and using correct cliffhangers could make the viewers want to see the next episode a bit more in some cases, and make them more likely to tune in next time. But take this tip with a grain of salt, since I'm not really a big youtuber, I just read r/NewTubers and stuff like that. And this could have some negative sideffects, since cutting up episodes into said 20 minute parts could become kind of troublesome if there is no clear place to put a cliffhanger in, and would require you to upload more often which you might not have the internetspeed/time to do. And of course, 20 minutes in HoMM3 is not a lot of time, so that's another thing... Perhaps you could use the community tab to find out more about your viewers? Like, "Do you watch episodes in one sitting?" or "Shorter but more frequent- VS Longer but less frequent episodes" Unfortunately HoMM3 is a bit niche and non-mainstream so it's tough to grow since there isn't really a high ceiling, but hey, the game's been alive for 22 years so at least the fans/viewers are dedicated :P Anyway, can't wait for the next one :))

I found it a little strange that you bought additional heroes so early, I would think that investing that gold in a resource silo, while inefficient and expensive, would have ultimately netted you more resources than going for so long with zero ore income, nevertheless great game you played here, love hmm3 Also, at an hour and 16mins when you defeated Fiona I think it was, I am shocked that you gave up an opportunity to learn intelligence

How can you see the approximate number of creatures that are in a stack?

I'm pretty sure the AI knows the entire map from the start. The Necro fog of war generator thing is useless against them. So them being allied and sharing a map doesn't actually change their planning ability. All it really does is make them not attack one another. They'll mainly still goof around and make bad moves but sometimes be smart.
