Posts from The second side of the artifact in Heroes of Might and Magic III½.

I don't know about you, but I really liked the fact that artifacts in Heroes 3.5 have second properties. However, I know there aren't many of these properties, so let everyone share their experience.

They are also described there...
It's very good that some of the completely unnecessary artifacts now have actually useful properties. It's a fun thing to get 15 (or so) gold for each unit at the beginning of the week, as well as to reveal a large area of the map around the hero at the beginning of the week.

Yes, there is also the Dove of Fortune, which gives an Archmage every week, and one more for each level of knowledge (good for the Tower).

dove of luck

? This is the first time I've heard of it; it gives the Archmage a vulnerability to beasts, and in reality, everything is described there, and these functions are useful.

That's strange, but in my game, the dove of luck gave me bonuses. There's also some kind of artifact that upgrades golems by one rank each week, up to diamond level (simple golems become iron, iron golems become gold, and so on). It's a useful item, by the way. What's the artifact that gives you money for each unit?

The Medal of Knowledge is like... 15% to Eagle Eye. There's also a cool artifact that turns peasants into thieves. That's fun! It would also be cool to have an artifact that turns peasants into skeletons right away.;)
I played Heroes of Might and Magic a long time ago... I've forgotten all the properties of the artifacts. I should install it again...

This artifact, which resembles a golden hand, transforms golems into arch golems and peasants into thieves. It seems there are also artifacts that grant 24 arch-elementals and 6 griffins each week (griffins are granted by the Dove of Knowledge).

As far as I remember, the weekly Fairy gives a life amulet. The death amulet gives a zombie, and the absolute memory amulet gives +1000 experience. And you also have to fight the frenzied ogre for its shield at the beginning of each week (around 15 of them).

And not only the Haven shield, but also the Haven club – there’s probably something mixed up in the scripts.

You haven't mixed anything up! It's much more fun this way. ;)
In general, they should charge more from the treasury or force players to fight rusty dragons for the most useless artifacts.

Ah, and there's another problem: in random maps, artifacts are often placed behind monsters, so you can just take them without a fight. By the way, why are they already with azure stats right away?

Just a reminder about the issue of taking artifacts without fighting monsters. Is it possible to create a script so that in random maps, the computer places artifacts under guard correctly? (In the picture, the artifact that can be taken without a fight is marked with a red circle). I posted this message in this thread because I made the picture in Photoshop. :-)))

Arseny, don't you have the Russian language pack? Or are you too lazy to download it? Or does it not translate everything? In the game settings, when you right-click, everything is explained in detail.

Yes, there's also the Dove of Fortune, which gives an Archmage every week.

Maybe 6 griffins?;)

What a pervert :DDD So, you should have to fight for the Blade of Armageddon once a week, like for the Shield, but with 30 Anti-Christs?=)) And for the "father" of dragons, Azurick, and for the Alliance of Angels, you should fight with the Archangels?=) A pervert through and through :DDDD I really liked the new Shield of the Fiery Ogre, the Amulet of Life is not bad, not because of the fairies, but because of the HP bonus ;) Hmm... well, all the Warlord artifacts are cool, except for the Map of Luck (it should have been called the Map of Bad Luck xD) and the Hourglass of Ill Omen (Asmodeus). Hourglasses are rarely in demand... A bonus with money, units, experience, and knowledge is always welcome ;) It would be even better to have an option with commander artifacts, where you can endlessly customize secondary skills ;))

By the way, for the hero from the new artwork, is there only some shield that gives three defense points and that's it? (I mean the new artifact images).
