Posts from Video guide on the rules of the portal for beginners.

Hello everyone, dear Heroes players. Due to the large number of questions regarding the rules of the game, I recorded a video guide for beginners (as not everyone understands the rules written in the text). I tried, as much as I could, to visually demonstrate various game situations. I am not a specialist in recording video guides, so please don't judge too harshly. If this helps any of the beginners, I will be very happy.

Good job, but there are some mistakes. I listened up to 8:30, and you're talking about heroes in a high-level tavern; this bug has been fixed for a long time, and you're misleading new players by telling them they need to delete any heroes (even those found from other players or the AI). I think you should at least cut out that part. I didn't listen any further, but it's possible there are other mistakes there too. I think you should ask someone from the old, experienced player base to listen to your guide. I listened a bit more, and a lot of what you said about the shifted guards is incorrect. Overall, I advise you to remove the link for new players until you have a proper version.

I listened to it at work, and in my opinion, it might cause more confusion for a beginner, especially regarding the game mechanics. There's also an issue with the wings; the author says that you can't fly over guards with wings until you defeat them, which is incorrect for most scenarios. And angel wings as part of a composite artifact... that's quite a stretch.

Thank you for the constructive criticism. 1. Regarding the heroes in the tavern. This is stated in the portal's rules, which is why I mentioned it (I based my statements solely on the text). But I agree that this part can be removed if it's unnecessary. I would be happy to receive help from more experienced players. I can't remove the link yet, so that everyone can point out my mistakes. Or at least someone could volunteer to help identify specific problems and explain them. 2. Regarding the angel wings. I said that they are part of a composite artifact – it was a mistake. I apologize; I messed up. Also, towards the end, I talked about clarifications for different templates (as stated in the rules). I first read and visualized the general rules, and then I clarified them based on the templates – this is how it's written in the rules. I opened the rules and presented my thoughts in the video in approximately the same order (with a slight deviation). Again, I will gladly remove anything unnecessary or correct my incorrect statements. If you point out what is wrong and what is superfluous, I will try to correct the shortcomings. I just don't want to make multiple corrections and would like to know all the shortcomings at once. In any case, thank you all for the advice and help. I am waiting for more constructive criticism from everyone.

At the request of one of the players, I recorded a guide on how to create a signature in the form of an image with a rating on this portal. The text information about this is available, but he obviously didn't find it. Perhaps it will be useful to someone else:

I was recording a guide on how to study your opponent on the HeroesWorld portal for subscribers (might be useful for some beginners):
How to Study Your Opponent

I also tested different formats for weekly news releases in HeroesWorld and HeroesPortal tournaments. An audience that watches them has formed, so I think I’ll continue:
Hero News

If this attracts more viewers and participants to the tournaments, it will only be a plus for the community.

I’m editing and uploading game matches of Heroes 3 from Twitch to one of the YouTube channels, with the permission of the streamers. This will preserve the matches for the future, both for beginners to learn and for everyone else as a memory.
- In streams with music, I try to keep the original track (if there are issues, I re-dub it myself or try to remove the problematic melodies)
- I cut out the opponent’s turn waiting time, thus shortening the video.
- In parts where my voiceover is present, I speed up the video, which also shortens the entire match for viewing and makes it more dynamic.
- Whenever possible, I leave a link to the author’s Twitch channel in the description.

Currently, I have received permissions from the following streamers:

I’m not able to re-record all games, but as free time allows, I’ll try to pick games for editing. First and foremost, I edit games from streamers like Dirty_Player and =Lizard=, who don’t use any third-party music at all, so editing takes the least amount of time. Next are streamers who play music in the background very quietly, allowing me to cover tracks with other music, lower them, or remove the current one (Cost, Dbat), and so on. Maybe I’ll find helpers for this task in the future.

Thanks to all the streamers who gave permission and responses! Some folks ignored my messages — I’m taking that as a refusal (until they respond). If you’re not on this list, I’d be happy to receive permission from you as well.
