Posts from A THREAD FOR NEWCOMERS!

Regarding the first point, I only know of one solution: install a program that automatically renames each autosave. After the game, load each save and see what it did and how. If you are experienced enough, you will find almost any cheat (you can even guess that the person reviewed the map). Regarding the rules, it's up to you. Here, most people play according to our (World of Xeen) rules, but there are many players who came to us from the portal, and their rules are slightly different from ours. There are also players who play according to the Chaos League rules, but I haven't seen them in a long time, and I don't know the rules myself. Regarding the Gorportal, check the rules. If there is nothing in the restrictions, then it is allowed.

Rule: It is forbidden to view the map in the map editor before the game ends. He creates a random game, and I connect to it. How can I find out if he viewed it in the map editor? Or is this rule based on rule number zero: Honesty?

Exactly!

2KostyaN:

There is almost always a worthwhile use for the third hero's army:
the exception is when a Necro hero arrives third — it's harder to combine troops due to poor morale. But even then, you can sometimes come up with something. For example, if Galthran arrives third, you could consider making him the main hero.

Most of the points have already been covered here, so I'll add from myself:

the left army can often be useful when taking conservatories in the 1st or 2nd week, especially if you don't have a spellbook.

of course, fast units are used for speed boost (that's when you leave a hero to rest with fast units, and the next day he can move further); the terrain has nothing to do with it, really. There is no penalty in Dungeon, in swamp, or on lava. And even if there is a terrain penalty, it often makes sense to speed boost on roads.
The best option is to get Dragonflies for speed boost, as they are the fastest.

sometimes, when you need to clear a crypt or a dwarf dwelling on day 111, that army can also be very useful.

you can also use this army when breaking through shooters. For example, if the left army has archers, then when breaking through, the shooters will likely target those archers, giving the main army time to approach.

in the swamp, the left army can be VERY useful when taking Medusa hives in the first week, which are crucial when playing this faction. Despite movement penalties.

and finally, if the left army has Gnolls, Goblins, or Gremlins, those single units can come in handy if you break through to a neighboring respawn that is their native terrain. For example, you enter a teleporter and end up in snow-covered land. You don't want to take the main army into the snow, but a scout with a Gargoyle from the left army can collect a lot of resources there.

Good luck in the game.

Hello everyone. I would like to know if it is possible to play online (using Hamachi, of course). I have a 64/64 kbps connection. Will there be lag?

I want to win the cup. Help me, what do I need to do?

:)))))))))

If anyone wants to play, write to me on ICQ - 383022729.

My connection is 64/64 kbps. Will there be lag?

There won't be much lag, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to play on L or XL maps.

I want to win the cup. Help me, what do I need to do?

Play at least a few games with top players, saving every day. Then review them. You might not win the cup, but you'll learn a lot.

I would like to know if it is possible to play online.

Yes, through a virtual local network (like Hamachi, for example). You can find out more about the technical aspects here

I recently bought a licensed copy of HoMM III - Armageddon's Blade, and I'm having a problem: the number of enemy units isn't displayed. Here's a screenshot: http://www.picatom.com/s/Armagedons%20Blade-1.html Thank you in advance for your help!

The previous post is related to my question. I have a licensed copy of SOD, upgraded to 3.2, as described in the forum. And the mana count is not displayed during battles with opponents. Is it possible to fix this?

I'm having a problem; the enemy's troop count isn't displayed.

I haven't encountered this issue before, but just in case, try installing a patch; it might help (the patch is in the useful links section). Alternatively, you can write to me on ICQ: 375572427.

The amount of mana isn't displayed during battles with opponents. Can this be fixed?

Yes, you can – buy Platinum.

The strangest thing is, this problem wasn't observed with the Shadow of Death version.

If you have SoD, then why do you need AB??? :confused:

How come? New campaigns, etc. :)

Why is that necessary? New campaigns, etc. :)

Buy the Platinum Edition. It has all the campaigns, and there are no bugs!!!

I still feel like a complete newbie and noob:o.
Please tell me what the terms "skip" and "control" mean (no linguistic intuition helps me understand them:)).
And another stupid question: when moving along roads that pass through penalty terrain (swamp, snow, rocks), is a penalty still applied or not?

I still feel like a complete newbie and noob:o.

Same here!

Could you please explain the meaning of terms like "skip"

Skip - to skip turns, do nothing

and "control"

Control spells - FLY, DD, TP

And another stupid question: when moving along roads that run through penalty terrain (swamp, snow, rocks), is a penalty still applied or not?

There is no penalty on roads!!
