Posts from Why did I switch to TE?

Hey guys! I have a problem – I also want to try TE, but I can't get it to work. I can't launch version 1.3f; I did the update, but the .exe file didn't appear. So, I can't install the next version, 1.3q. What should I do?

Nevertheless, I believe it would be ideal to move Mass Slow to a separate spell on the fourth level, as was done in Heroes II. That is where it truly belongs in terms of the ratio of effectiveness to difficulty of acquisition.

But since this is not an official version, for some reason it cannot take hold among the majority of players...

The guys from Bay are actively promoting TE and want to bring as many people as possible from HeroesWorld over to their camp.

And it's not about malice, they simply sincerely believe that TE is better

...if we isolate the main message, it's simple - "TE is the same heroes, only better"...
The part "...is the same heroes..." confuses me.
I am sure that these are different heroes

...but I want to know exactly how different they are.

The strength of HeroesWorld is not in the strong players

I am not against TE. We need to choose the best, but we need to understand how the games differ. This is important. If I see that there are few differences, and knowing them I can easily adjust my play, then I can play both versions. Otherwise, a choice will have to be made.

It seems to me that some things only spoil TE.

1) Creature experience system. Well, why is it even needed???

2) Hero classes.
They've come up with some kind of hassle there too, although there is something to it :-)

3) Gates to Inferno.
Why? Is Inferno too weak and they wanted to buff it?

Actually, I wanted a FULLY English version.

Mass Slow is one of the most effective spells in combat, and considering its frequency of use, it is probably the most effective.

Just enough to be better. Not more, not less. If you don't like something, agree with your opponent and turn it off, no problem.

Because a squad of warriors who have fought through foreign lands, enemy cities, dungeons, and dragon utopias is not the same as newly hatched recruits in a castle, is it logical? This is about realism and common sense. In addition, the monster upgrade system clearly makes the game more interesting, adding those very mini-goals that someone mentioned above.
But I, for example, prefer to play against a human without monster upgrades and without an army tax.

A very good solution to increase the usefulness of unnecessary skills. For example, Estates and Leadership are considered super-crappy skills in SoD. But by studying both of them in TE, you will get the "marauder" class, and for winning a battle, the hero will receive not only experience but also a certain amount of gold!
As for classes in general, some of them I don't really like, but IMHO, I just haven't gotten used to them yet.

Firstly, yes, it is too weak. And secondly, these unfortunate gates were usually useless to anyone (unless you have a native secondary Inferno), now they have become more versatile. I won't even mention the fact that this option can also be turned off.

For what reasons? I myself hate the Russian versions of most games, they translate it simply terribly. But in this case, I recommend a FULLY Russian version, everything is quite reasonable, neat fonts, nothing irritates the eye!

If you do it that way, then what's the point of Earth Magic??? If you make all mass spells separate magics, it will be like Heroes 4!

It seems logical, but it also seems not.
Situation: you buy a stack of units, leave the Castle, and see an enemy hero with a weaker army, you attack him happily, and all his monsters are upgraded to level 10... and our stack is defeated... It's frustrating... :-(

Estates - I agree... but Leadership - sorry... it's not Logistics, but it's not super-terrible either...

Actually, he's not weak, but after they moved Town Portal to Fire, Pit Lords become stronger without a guild and they also raised a portal.

What do you think about the army tax? I'm very interested to know.

Earth magic is needed because it's the most powerful combat magic! Just look at Implosion and Resurrection; you can't find anything better. And for early game, the most effective spells for taking cities are Shield and Stone Skin. And who said anything about ALL mass spells? We were talking about mass slow, which in SoD is a first-level spell that is more useful than almost all the others. That shouldn't be the case.

To avoid being at a disadvantage, you need to attack sneakily and test things out. But what's stopping you from not making mistakes and upgrading your army?

Have you ever had a situation where, in the final battle, your hero has zero morale, even though they are an expert in leadership?

I don't understand how they became so strong. Now, Pit Lords with Town Portal tear everything apart? Enlighten me, I'm not aware. :smile32:

Building a layer on the second level is a good solution, although it could have been on the third level :-)
