Posts from - A reference guide and manual in Russian for Heroes 3.

Dear AmberSoler, using FizMig to analyze comparative statistics while working on a new city, he added some features to it to facilitate the comparison of city statistics. And he thought, maybe such an addition would be interesting to other fans of Heroes statistics? In any case, I will post a page from FizMig "Monsters in the game and their features" with his additions here. Perhaps this presentation of the material will seem interesting to you in terms of adding it to FizMig.

The question is this: in the editor - tools\map settings\general - there is something called difficulty; so, does normal or expert somehow affect the rating directly in the rating table after winning on any of the maps?

This question also applies to random maps, because both there and there you can set "impossible" or, for example, I set the maximum difficulty in the editor, will this difficulty also be in the random map?

I've looked it over. If you don't mind, I'll comment on your idea, and perhaps you can add something else.

The mathematical sum of parameters doesn't always make sense. For example, the sum of HP for all units without considering the number of units of each type (which is what you're considering) doesn't make sense in terms of comparing cities. Also, the amount of gold needed to buy a week's worth of units should take into account the number of units. After that, you can introduce a parameter like the price of one unit of HP per week. To do this, you need to divide the cost of a week's worth of units, expressed in gold, by the sum of the weekly HP increase.

And based on this parameter, you can correctly compare all cities. But comparing the sum of unit speeds, as you suggest, doesn't give you any food for thought.

In other words, the numbers you've proposed don't have any physical meaning, and therefore won't be useful for Physics. :) I hope you understand my position.

[/U]I hope that by "rating," you mean the total score a player receives after completing a map. In this case, this rating only reflects the difficulty level set at the start of the game. And if you look at the calculation formula, a multiplier of 2, for example, indicates that the expert difficulty level is set...

The editor does not affect a random map. It is only for fixes. We set the difficulty of the random generation in the game itself when generating the map.

What is the calculation formula? Is the multiplier 2?

In other words, if I specify a difficulty of 200% in a random map before creating it, then when I launch the same map using the editor, will the settings for this map in the editor also be "impossible"?

If the map is created by the Random Map Generator, i.e., the map is created in the editor, then a normal difficulty level (100% - coefficient 1) is automatically set for the map (random map), and the map is created with this level.

The reference guide doesn't mention in the description of the "forgetfulness" skill that, at the expert level, it affects all enemy archers. In my opinion, this is very important; it makes this skill much better than, say, the air shield.

That's a misconception – it doesn't apply to all... Not even close to all...

Actually, it's not a misconception...
The expert "forgetfulness" affects all 100% of the monsters in all enemy stacks...
The advanced version seems to affect 100% of one stack.
The basic version affects 50% of one stack.
I think that's how it works!

Yeah, otherwise most people call everyone who shoots a bow an archer...
And what's the point if casting "Forgetfulness" on liches is useless...
And for many others too... But archers... It's some kind of wordplay...:confused:
Well, I was wrong - there's nothing to argue about. Archers are guys with bows...

Well, the conversation was about how "Forgetfulness" is so powerful, and "Air Shield" is just...

By the way, if the attacker uses "Air Shield" on a unit during a castle siege, the towers start shooting at it with increased damage! Why? - Who knows... :)
