Posts from Heroes of Might & Magic III: Horn of the Abyss

it's my birthday..

Really? :O
By the way, maybe I'm just being slow, but will it be possible to install new versions on the beta version later? (:
And also, will the versions that come after the first one be like patches for the already installed 1.0 version, or not? (Patches are smaller in size :p)

there will be two types, as usual – as a patch for the previous version and as a full version

By the way, maybe I'm just being slow, but will it be possible to install new versions on the beta version later? :)

of course :)

31. Objects on the map - including a pirate hero on the map, a Gazebo (with properties similar to Heroes II), a Living Spring (increases the health of the hero's units by 25% until the next battle), the Ocean's Teardrop artifact, and a new Pirate Warship.



32. Monsters in battle: Enchantress, Pirates, Sailors, and Aspid (level 7 of the Dock).



Bonus:
this time it's a small one - specifically, more details about the "Course" button.

The "Course" button replaces the standard, rarely used "Move Hero" button.
1. It allows you to set a course for the hero, to a point where he will automatically go by the fastest route. At the same time, the player can enable automatic Quick Battles for him, without being prompted beforehand.
2. It is also possible to set not only one, but several specific points to visit - which the heroes will automatically visit at a certain interval - for example, at the beginning of the week, all heroes can collect resources and gold from mills and huts

Wow :) I'm really pleased, the new objects/creatures fit the Heroes of Might and Magic atmosphere very well! The snake from the second screenshot is really cute, it's drawn very well:D And by the way, what is this thing on the water in the first screenshot, which is in the style of a swamp castle? Is it a new storage building?

Overall, I'm eagerly awaiting the sea castle! :smile08: The authors did a great job!!!1:smile20: :D

Very nice! Awesome! I'm impressed.

Question: maybe I missed it, but what are the stats of the "new warship"?

Wow :) I'm glad to see this, the new objects/creatures fit very well with the Heroes of Might and Magic atmosphere! The snake from the second screenshot is really cute, it's drawn very well:D And by the way, what is this thing on the water in the first screenshot, which is in the style of a swamp castle? Is it a new storage building?

It depends on what you mean by "storage building." There's a concept in Heroes called a "creature bank" (an object where you kill various creatures and receive a specific bonus for it) - this is similar, but on the water.

What are the properties of the "new warship"?

By default, it has Cannons (a combat machine of the Dock) - regardless of whether the hero has a combat weapon or not.

And who exactly will be in that bank of creatures?

We are well acquainted with these creatures – Beholders (Beholder, Evil Eye), which is emphasized by the image of an eye above the object’s walls.

The screenshots are very impressive. Huge respect to the creators! It's a pity that I'm not a frequent visitor to the forum these days, and this thread in particular...
I'm eagerly awaiting the beta version, and I'm ready to test it.

P.S. The Sorceress, by the way, reminds me of the Archmage from King's Bounty (Lore) in some ways.

What bonuses will the artifact "Tear of the Ocean" provide?

Will new skills be added for heroes in HotA?

another screenshot

33. Monsters in battle: the second hero in battle. As you can see, the Nixies have undergone some changes; astute Sherlock Holmeses will notice even more details. We also caught the Aspid during its journey to its many-eyed comrades on tentacles. Oh, I have a feeling things won't end well for them... :D

Nix are awesome, especially the upgraded one. The Serpent (who is he?) is also great.
The hero is original. (=

Soon, I'll start craving for more.

Aspid is what he's called... :)

And during the gameplay, the Sorceress also changed.
