This thing will help.

Thank you! Everything is working!

Please tell me,

I can't find SOD with the Overhaul feature. Does it even exist, or is Overhaul only in Hota?

Hello,

I can't find SOD with the Overlord function. Does it even exist, or is the Overlord function only in Hota?

Problem solved.

Please explain:

We are playing with simultaneous turns.
The opponent destroys a Guard Tower. The main hero moves away from my zone, and the secondary hero (scout) approaches the main castle (in one turn), and also takes my mine.
On my turn, I attack his scout, thus interrupting the simultaneous turns.
In response, I hear insults and profanity from the opponent. He says that I take too long with my turn, and that I also interrupted the simultaneous turns, etc.
I immediately ended the conversation with this person. I believe that the game should be enjoyable and that we should treat each other with respect.
BUT. I still have a question - "is there some unwritten (or written) rule that when we meet, we should discuss whether we will attack or not. Or, for example, that we cannot attack immediately upon visual contact, but only on the second turn. Or something like that?" Maybe I'm missing something?

Are there any additional rules for simultaneous turns?

And another question:
This person has been added to my blacklist.
Is there such a list on the forum?
So that I can "identify" such opponents in advance and not even start a game with them.

Hello! I couldn't find any relevant topics on the forum, so I'm asking for help: I downloaded the latest version of the map editor, supposedly from the official VK group, and in the random map generator, there's no "Jebus Chocolate" template, and the existing "Jebus Cross" template generates some really strange maps. I specifically watched some streams, and no one else has such bizarre random maps; in my case, either there are no objects at all, or the guards are much stronger than in the original game. Could you please provide links to the latest versions of the templates? Thank you in advance!

Explain to a newbie where to find an opponent for a game here. It's not clear.

Is it possible to play online with one player on a network and two players on the same computer? There is a remote computer with one player and another computer from which two people will play. We want to play online with three people. 1.6.0 Hota

Hello everyone, and today I would like to ask a question. Please tell me what penalty archers receive for shooting with an arrow that is not aimed directly and for shooting through the walls of a Castle. Thank you in advance for your answer. :smile15:

A rather unusual question has arisen: is there a way to control the AI's behavior? The thing is, as far as I can tell, the AI focuses on scouting and gathering resources, but it's not interested in battles with other heroes. It gets to the point where it's almost comical: several enemy heroes run around the islands and caves, stealing resources from each other right under their noses, but they don't attack each other. As a result, when I arrive on the same island, it's already empty everywhere, and a bunch of heroes with large armies are running around. And I have to deal with them myself, sometimes suffering very serious losses.
I tried placing seventh-level creatures in key locations, but that only delays this scenario for a while. From all this, the question arises: is it possible to change the AI's behavior in some way? So that they focus more on fighting each other, rather than clearing the map of all sorts of useful things.

Hello! I'm playing the "The Fallen Empire" campaign, map 6. The following situation occurs: when the dungeon is opened, the message "The Jailer informs you that the prisoner who was held in this dungeon has been released by order of the king who imprisoned him" appears, the dungeon disappears, but the hero does not appear in its place. What could be causing this, and is it possible to fix it, because a hero is supposed to appear there, and he is needed for the next part of the story, and the campaign gets stuck without him. I'm attaching a save file, the version is Heroes Complete Collection with an HD mod.

Confirmed: the described bug occurs both with HD+ and SOD_SP enabled and disabled. I don't know what's causing it; I haven't seen this before.
Perhaps, due to some coincidence, this hero was hired by the enemy (a bug in the game?). Or it could be an error by the author during map creation: first, they imprisoned a specific hero, and then they prohibited him in the map properties. Unfortunately, if it were a single-player map, we could check some things with Prospector.
Where did you get this campaign? Can you provide a link? If you extract the relevant map from the campaign, you can examine it in the editor.

Why could this have happened?

This hero is available for hire in the tavern, which triggers the corresponding message when the player visits the dungeon.

and can this be fixed?

Have you tried replaying the campaign scenario?


UPD
I was able to reproduce the problem. This happens if the player hires a hero named Sorcha (also known as Empress). Because of this, she becomes available for hire in the tavern (not available for building) in the 6th mission of the campaign, which causes this message to appear when visiting the dungeon.

Reloading the scenario will not fix this. To complete the map, you need to use cheats or replay the entire campaign without hiring the specified hero.

That’s exactly what I thought. But isn’t this an oversight by the author, rather than a bug in the game?

It's unlikely that a bug in the game would have a separate, specific message.

"The Jailer informs you that the prisoner who was held in this Dungeon has been released by order of the king who imprisoned him,"

Good afternoon! Thank you to everyone who responded. I will try playing the campaign again from the beginning, but without hiring that hero. I took the campaign from here: /heroesportal.net/maps/view/1133
