Discussion about Heroes I.

Dear Heroes 1 experts, I'm encountering what seems to be a bug: if a hero with 15 movement points (boosted by a Gargoyle) receives, for example, Orcs, and then I go back into the hero's menu, the movement points become 10. If I don't go into the menu after the transfer, it moves 15 spaces. Has anyone else encountered this? Is this normal? I'm playing on Platinum difficulty, using Vista OS.

This is a known bug... by the way, it seems to occur not only in Heroes 1...
If you transfer a slow unit, then when you enter the hero's menu, the speed boost is reset, but!!!
... if you transfer this unit from another hero and make adjustments, etc., in the transfer window between heroes, then the speed boost won't be "reset" - so I strongly advise you to do all operations with unit placement, etc., immediately when transferring the army...
And by the way, if the hero moves a few spaces before transferring the slow unit, the speed boost won't be reset... I can't say exactly how many spaces, but in any case, if he moves the "difference between the units' speeds," everything will be fine...
... for example, the difference between the "speed boost" on a Gargoyle and a Goblin is 3 spaces in a straight line.
