I had no idea taverns interacted with... scouting I guess? You need taverns to see stacks and the amounts! Still learning new things about this game after playing it for 25 years

Yeah, it took a while for me to figure out as well, I first played this game around the age of 10. Fast and stable Internet connections were not that widely available for cheap back then, and even if they were, I doubt there would have been any wikis to search for information like nowadays. One skill in particular that I didn't quite get was related to the travelling distance. There was, I think, Logistics, which increases movement points on the adventure map, but then there was something like... Pathfinding? Which increases movement points on "rough" terrain or something? I always opted not to choose that one because I thought it is related to the 'rough' terrain type, which I remember was one of the basic types like snow, grass, sand, etc. In retrospect, however, I've started to wonder whether it meant every terrain type that does not have a road on it... Yeah, I know, I could just google it.

Tiva: Hmmm, this appears to be pretty doable, this town is pretty strong already, no help needed! Now, if I could get even a few sticks.... ????: hundreds of logs come miraculosly from the surface to the underworld Tive: HELL YEAH BABY, let's do this! I told you that no help was needed! Mirlanda with the empty wood cart handles in her hands, next to the big hole in the ground: Have I done something wrong ???

Clean and straightforward strategy Noro. I'm surprised it worked that well considering the fact that this map is supposed to be played defensively 😂

Solid episode as per usual. Didn't you consider playing one of the giant maps for hota? It would be nice to see you battling legions of crystal dragons and also a longer playthrough. Keep up the good work pal 😊

I played this map myself recently, and came to a very much similar solution as well. Would make more sense if the garrison forces were friendly towards the player as well, since we're protecting the town in the middle. Then the enemy could also be made stronger. Feels like this map has potential for a good defend/rescue map with minor adjustments.

Hi, i would suggest having power stack at the bottom 7th pos. It allows for 1 troops to move earlier for taking retaliation. Downside is turn of the power stack is also later than the opponent's, which on the other hand, can be turned into your advantage. Shooters should also go bottom (preferably 7 pos, and 6 pos for power stack). Mainly on the start of a game, it also applies with tactics. Cant think of advantages of having them at 1st and 2nd pos with 1 troops further down.

I wonder if it would have been worth throwing in dragon fly 1 stacks at certain points just for the weakness effect Edit - 20:17 I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Eagle Eye go off lol

Can you make a playthrough on "Vikings we shall go!" map? It's an incredibly well-made one with a tricky economy part and allowing you to expand into all the uber-dragons once you got your macro going.

How can you split your units in ones in Vanille homm 3? Thought it was only possible in the mods?

@rensis1621 Жыл бұрын

Ctrl+click splits them to onestacks, Shift+click splits them to halfstacks. I don't know if it works in vanilla, but I'm pretty sure it does in Shadow of Death

@Norovo Жыл бұрын

It's possible with the HD mod. This is only vanilla in the sense that I played on Shadow of Death instead of HotA

A member of the HotA art team posted on the Russian forum a month or two ago, said they're still working on it. I don't think they ever promised a release date, to be fair. They've likely been set back by the mod leader passing away and the war

Was not it better to cast shield on gnolls at 16:05 instead of magic arrow? I think you would lose a few less.

Awesome stuff Noro! I'd love to see some gameplay of the others heroes games, h4, h5 and especially the 5.5 mod and even h6 and h7, not that much of gameplays for those. I know they are pretty bad in comparison with the others tho.

I haven't played much of those tbh and I'm not a fan of the 3D style after H4, but I'm hoping to try them properly one day with an open mind
