Kyle: I'm afraid this is about the Might & Magic series, and the first Heroes game was probably conceived as having no connection to it (although there are many familiar names, Kilburn, Ironfist, Alamar, etc., which is strange), and what is written on that page is, in my opinion, the author's free speculation. There is only one way to find the answer to the question of whether there is a plot in the first Heroes game: find and download the original English manual for the game, which was included in the box back in 1994-95.

In Heroes 1, the castles are very beautiful.

Dear Heroes 1 enthusiasts, I'm encountering what seems to be a bug while playing: if a hero with 15 movement points (increased by a Gargoyle, for example) receives, say, Orcs, and then I go back into the hero's menu, the movement points become 10. However, if I don't go into the menu after the transfer, the hero moves 15 squares. Has anyone else encountered this? Is this normal? I'm playing on Platinum difficulty, using Windows Vista.

This is a known bug... by the way, it seems to occur not only in Heroes 1...
If you transfer a slow unit, then when you enter the hero's menu, the speed boost is reset, but!!!
... if you transfer this unit from another hero and make adjustments, etc., in the transfer window between heroes, then the speed boost won't be "reset" - so I strongly advise you to do all operations with unit placement, etc., immediately when transferring the army...
And by the way, if the hero moves a few spaces before transferring the slow unit, the speed boost won't be reset... I can't say exactly how many spaces, but in any case, if he moves the "difference between the units' speeds," everything will be fine...
... for example, the difference between the "speed boost" on a Gargoyle and a Goblin is 3 spaces in a straight line.

Thank you, you've put my mind at ease; I was already tired of rubbing my eyes and even reinstalled the game. Is it always like this? I hadn't noticed it before, probably because I only played two maps. It's almost funny.
If you transfer this unit from another hero and then make adjustments, etc., in the transfer window between heroes, the speed difference won't "reset" – so I strongly advise you to do all operations with the formation, etc., immediately when transferring the army...
And by the way, if the hero runs a few squares before transferring the slow unit, the speed boost will be lost... I can't say exactly how many squares, but in any case, if he runs the "difference between the speeds of the units," everything will be fine...
Yes, I noticed the same patterns through trial and error. But in Heroes 3, I definitely didn't have this problem.
For example, the difference between the "speed boost" on a gargoyle and a goblin is 3 squares in a straight line.
Yes, 10-12-15 is quite harsh.

The thing is, in Heroes 1, you can't choose a race at the start. But, you can generate it. That is, you load the map you need. You see what race it is, and if you don't like the race, you load the map again. The morphology works 100%!

But, this trick will only work if there are different castles on the map. If the castles are initially the same, then the generation will not work.

As a rule, you can generate more maps to see which race appears.

You can read walkthroughs of campaigns, as well as other maps, in the Hall of Fame topic!

Good luck!

Sincerely, VDV_forever

Could you please provide a walkthrough? I'm playing the single-player mode, and there's a regular game where I always lose on the mountaintop against the griffin. Can you help me with how to win? (I always get the Barbarian faction).
Thank you in advance!

If you could at least tell me the name of the map, I'd be happy to help.

Hold on, does anyone have Russian language packs? I don't know what's going on; I can't launch Heroes 1. It displays the following message: "C:\DOCUME~1\B616~1\HEROES~1.PIF The NTVDM processor detected an invalid instruction. CS:0000 IP:000b OP:f0 8b 01 70 00 To terminate the application, click the "Close" button."

Could you please provide a Walkthrough? I was just playing in single-player mode, and there's also a standard map at the top of the mountain with a griffin. I keep losing; help me win! (I always get the Barbarian faction.)
Thank you in advance!
It seems like you're referring to the standard map (which should appear immediately when you quickly set up the game)... "Claw Easy" is what it seems to be called in English... At the starting location, there are all the mines except for gold, and the only exit above the castle is through 19 griffins, which never join you in the options.... And beyond the griffins, there's a village (usually a Knight's village) and a Lava Trident... 3 paths for 3 opponents... defeat them all... The map seems to be not very difficult, but if you have little experience and are playing with the minimum amount of money and the maximum difficulty for the opponents, plus "King of the Hill," you can easily lose to the opponents, who by the end of the 2nd or beginning of the 3rd week, come with an army larger than yours, plus with magic of level 4... for example, a couple of Warlocks with Armageddon :smile34:
As for the Barbarians appearing, try changing the color (there's a beautiful 4-color stone) when creating a new game... and to reduce the difficulty, in the first game, there's something that isn't in the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th games... you can adjust the strength of each opponent separately... for example, 1 strong and 2 weak... or, to start, turn off 2 out of 3 opponents and play 1v1... then 1v2, and so on... the peak I already described when all three "geniuses" are in an alliance against you with no money and resources...
By the way, it's possible that you have a demo version or a very bad pirated copy, which is why there are no other maps and factions... I've also encountered this on disks released for the American market...
Good luck!:smile13: buy the Platinum edition or download a good version of Heroes 1

No, I downloaded it from oldgames.ru. I have not only this map there, but also many other maps, about 10-20 of them, and also a campaign. I usually play as a mage, but I always lose. And now I can't even get into the game. Thank you very much. I always set the difficulty to 10% (i.e., I reduce the number of enemy units by 2).

I always set the difficulty to 10% (i.e., reduce the number of warriors for each race by 2).

The best solution would be to purchase the Bukovskaya version from Platinum.;)

By purchasing this collection, I invite you to participate in tournaments for Heroes 1.

Currently, a tournament called "Company Tournament" (stage 8) is underway.
Tournament

By playing in tournaments, you will not only learn how to play Heroes 1 but also communicate with true professionals in this field and make new friends!

We welcome you to HW tournaments!
