So what's the answer Yea Forums?

It does, but since most missions feature tight level limits there's little reason to pick exp from chests, you'll hit that max mission level fast anyway. It does serve a point if you want to autistically grind 5 best possible heroes during every mission to the max level to take them to the next one, picking up every possible stat up on all of them along the way too.

Yes but you are capped what level your hero can go up to in each scenario so you can't overlevel on the first mission.

They're good fun and elaborate on the heroes.

How do you ever have 5 viable heroes in a campaign mission? I run into a wall every time I try to use more than one hero, as most AI heroes have insane, high level stacks from the get-go, and you really need all your troops in one place. Especially in maps where you have to clean off stupid shit like garrisons or fucking RUST DRAGONS.

Reminder that AI value of an earth elemental (a level 5 creature) is 330 (slightly more than 3 centaurs, slightly below 3 halberdiers) while air elemental (a level 2 creature) has AI value of 356 beating even fire elemental (a level 4 creature) which has AI value of 345

Not having Eagle Eye must be the reason why you can't see that HoMM3's art direction and sprites are garbage compared to 2. Maybe you should check your hearing since HoMM2's soundtrack is also better.

My theory is that it's popular in countries where first few console generations weren't that big and everyone's first games were on their dad's PC's.

Came out at the right time at a reasonable price considering how overpriced vidya gets in eastern Europe. It helped the game is very good and every Russian soldier hotseats when not on duty.

Because console market pretty much nonexistent and everyone is playing on PC.

AoW1 isn't even a 4x.
When I first played it I thought it seemed like a mix of homm and warlords(tbs series).

I could see AoW2-3 being called spiritual successors, but MoM is still superior. I even played AoW2 before MoM, and MoM still came out as superior to me.

I don't remember what was wrong with it in this instance, just that caster of magic is trash. Probably bloated overpowered shit.

What's the best town why is it Conflux?

I've played hotseat with my sister and my brother.

Many hotseats with friends. Once in the later years we were watching a movie and had 2 games of homm going on two different computers, one homm2 and one homm3. We were 5 people playing iirc.
I had already won on homm2 basically, but I fucked up bad in homm3 and I was definitely behind, but maybe I could've won but probably not.
Reclamation on homm3 and the map that looks like a shield on homm2.
Rampart, and Necromancer.
I sieged the Warlock town in homm2, he had like 2 green dragons defending and I had maybe as many as 10 bone dragons. I think it was 7-9 though. There were no neutral towns on that map so basically pretty clear that I had won at that point.

On reclamation I lost one of my cities without a fight in the first or second week because I missed a path

>that one chaotic evil dude that sold demos to clueless parents

Just look at all these Age of Wonders threads we have on the regular.

AoW was given good reviews and forgotten about. I hope Planetfall turns out well and not like Beyond Earth.
AoW3 just felt clunky and slow, had a surprising amount of content though.

Yet people still play, make mods and talk about HOMM3. When was the last time you saw someone mention AOW aside from people asking for games similar to HOMM?

Necro and you know it

You don't pick magic schools to boost damage.

Conflux and Necropolis are both imbalanced and banned from my games.

Conflux because more t7, fastest t7, good rush heroes, cheap town and because it was made for an expansion so it was made imba to stand out.

>Age of Wonders 3

I find that hard to believe after playing 2 all those years ago. 2 wasn't terrible though. Just bland and mediocre compared to the first.

Fire for armageddon, earth for town portal and air gives haste and fly.

How long can you squat for before your legs start to hurt?

AoW is pretty good, but I got it after a very long Civilization V binge, and the rudimentary city building/empire building just got me bored.
I know thats not the point of the game, but I just was introduced to it at a time when I really was into that.

Why would your legs hurt? You must be squatting incorrectly.

>not a proper plastic cd case with an obviously home printed game cover features oc donut steel game box design.

They don't know what those things are. They live in Russia after all.

Basically high level HOMM play includes going for units first and having several heroes to ferry the new units you buy to your main hero to conquer shit on the map while your extra heroes gather all the resources (so your main guy doesnt waste move points).

What is it about the Stronghold theme that makes so many people agree it's the best? I'm one of them and I don't get why, most of the themes are top tier and I feel like this one pretty arbitrarily made me feel like it edges out the others by a hair. Yet it can't be that arbitrary if I see the consensus arise time and time again.

They focus on troop development, rush strongest/most cost effective units of their respective factions, separate units into onestacks to draw out retalliation and then utterly obliterate guard stacks and manage to make more gold per day than a town hall would by just clearing the map, while at the same time leveling heroes and collecting artifacts. Then they get even more heroes and expand in all directions simultaneously while at the same time chaining troops from one hero to another, transporting armies and artifacts across great distances in a single turn with hero chains.

I liked it but it was always just "good".

They lost the plot in Heroes 4 expansions. Kinda surprised it even happened considering the state of things.

Like half of all Russian homm memes are focused on clueless Solmyr players that go capitol week 1 and get rushed by Crag Hack.
I don't know why Solmyr in particular became associated with that meme, probably because he belongs to Tower, which is the most rushable faction, further highlighting the folly of early capitol.
As to why it's bad you a far better deal by going units/extra heroes and gathering shit from the map. There are heaps of shit scattered all over, including unit banks like griffin cons and fly hives which allow you to snowball ridiculously fast when you get them going. Capitol is just kinda shit.

Attached: r8Sau3ASbzs.jpg (640x640, 83K)

No, actually. What surprise me most is how bad was MM9

New World Computing did lots of mistakes in their twilight years, like a fucking multiplayer arena shooter Legends of Might and Magic.

Solmyr starts with Chain Lightning which is pretty OP early game so he probably was abused by shitters

Earth is the best school bar none.

Their battle royale and card games like Might and Magic Battle Royale and Might and Magic: Arena didn't have a lot of success either. They focused too much on the esport and twitch scene.

solmyr doesnt need much units to fight, good hero to use for being a jew and hoarding gold.

slavs are redpilled

Good thing it's the only Russian word I know.

There's the HD mod which just adds a bunch of quality of life features on top of obvious HD functionality and Hota if you're in the mood for something extra. It's like a new expansion made by a dedicated Russian team that doesn't even accept donations and works purely out of love for the game.
Before that though make sure to get the GoG version and not the steam one, ubisoft being objectively evil soulless jews released that shoddy remake with no expansion content.

Solmyr is a guy that goes for capitol rush while having nothing but gremlins to his name, which causes him to get rushed by based Crag Hack who intelligently went for early units instead. It's mocking one of the most common noob-traps in the game basically.

Attached: 1515520433792.png (800x600, 583K)

The entire purpose of scout heroes is to find those minotaur kings so you can send your real army to kill them. During the time it takes to send your real army over you should be scouting someplace new or accessing one of the many resource buildings you can snag. Basically you should almost never be picking up chests/resources on the map with a real army since the scouts can just grab it much quicker.

Thant gets animate dead by default, which lets you resurrect your undead units. But if there's someone standing on the corpse you can't target it anymore.
Here's a relatively easy one.

Attached: xZQTARP9Ai0.jpg (608x588, 147K)

>Basically you should almost never be picking up chests/resources on the map with a real army since the scouts can just grab it much quicker.

This and learning basic tactics like splitting up units into 1 stacks to block attacks and using the wait command is the most important thing to learn to progress from being a shitter in HOMM3.

This thread reminded me how much of a good fucking game this one is. Might load up a scenario later this night and stomp some neutrals

>but it only works in russian
The Bloodborne of bantz: it only works if no one can try to prove you wrong.

Okay, thanks. I'll try doing that, maybe I can beat some of the harder campaign missions without having to sweat blood.

Never made sense to me. What kind of experience do you get from giving money to peasants? Are peasants going to teach you in the art of battle or magic? Feh.

Outside of the campaign it's a good habit to duck into treehuts/skill granting locations with scout heroes first. No reason to accidentally get some god awful skill on a real hero. I usually keep the bulk of my forces on one hero, a secondary hero with only quick cheap units, and then 2/3 heroes who literally have 1 fast unit and run around the map picking shit up.

situational, at 2,9k with one unit indicating the hero is not going to be used the answer is money

It does, but it also has the highest chance of all towns of getting armageddon. Combining that with efreeties who are immune to fire is like one of the very few Inferno strats that actually work. Necro and dungeon also have a chance of getting armageddon, but it's half of inferno's, good and neutral aligned towns can't get it at all, since armageddon is supposed to be an evil town only spell. I mean you can still get it if you capture the enemy town, but whatever.

explain

121 = month 1, week 2, day 1.
Crag Hack usually has behemoths by the second week.

121 refers to the monday of the second week of the first month, it's the timing for the fastest possible rush in the game possible as long as you take your turn before your opponent (red always goes first). You get your turn on monday, buy out the creatures, chain them to your main and move in for the kill before your opponent gets an opportunity to buy out his own creatures. That works on any monday really, but 121 is the fastest, most balls to the wall variant (only possible on small maps).
Crag Hack and Stronghold are commonly associated with the rush since they're probably the easiest ones to execute it with.

No game since then shipped in a finished state.

How's the remaster of III? Is it any good? If not, what's the definitive way of playing on a modern pc?

It was relatively balanced and had factions that were a mix of stuff from a theme rather than one aspect drawn.

Earlier games lacked the mainstream balance.
You may complain about conflux getting extra t7, and necropolis and their necromancer.
At least the units can somewhat fight within their tiers against other factions.
In homm2 there is no balance between the strength of the units of different factions. Titans and Black Dragons have 300 hp, while the guy with the most hp from the knight faction has 65.
The balance that is there is more about creature cost and primary skills(which is easily negated by just taking another hero). Knights and Barbarians can afford more troops and get out there before black dragons are on the table.

Later games had more uniform generic factions.
Rampart and Sorceress isn't an elf faction, it's a fey inspired factions that has all sorts of good natured nature fantasy creatures, elves and dwarves. Later games featured a faction of elves, a faction of dwarves.
I think those are two ways that homm3 may appear unique in the series, I think homm4 had more specific problems than that though.

I thought they were slav memes not american memes

Nobody fucking gave a shit about balance in 2, nerd
New games just were shit and unfun

Cats are carnivores, expecting them to like veggies is a bit cruel. Just read a news article about a vegan woman that only fed her cats rice. Someone else recorded giving the poor felines some kielbasa and they tore into that thing like a pride of hungry lions.

Do not buy HoM&M3 HD that's on Steam or wherever Ubisoft is selling that. It's a terrible, botched up release that lacks official expansion packs.
Buy the GoG release instead.
Download Heroes 3 HD mod and you're good to go.

This, very much so.

Spread your legs wider and keep the heels down, it may be a matter of getting some of your leg ligaments used to stretching this way. Since you probably don't squat often it's not surprising your legs aren't used to bending that way.
