Good play, he knew a lot in theory, but in practice, he didn't use the Moon spell that much. There was also some luck involved. There are practically no morale effects here. Question for the experts: how do you determine the damage of the Wall of Fire spell?

How to determine the damage of a wall of fire?

Open FizMiG and calculate it :)

The main formula is 10*CS+{10,basic|20,advanced|50,expert}
For the Sylvan faction, it is multiplied by 2.

Therefore, for CS=8 and expert-level fire magic (which is what the scrolls are for), (10*8+50)*2 = 260. This is enough to destroy 10 Gryphons.

I recreated the game of our Chinese comrade against Alex_the_great.
I tracked the heroes' movements by "watching the opponent's turn," having previously modified the save file to reveal the map.
I take responsibility for the battles; they may not be entirely accurate to the original.

The file size is approximately 100MB.

Content: Luna. Battles with 2 Mutants. Capturing a level 2 resource with 1 unit, and a level 4 resource with 2 Angels.

After capturing the maximum level resource, I was unable to reconstruct the subsequent events.

And I couldn't capture a resource with Angels and Vivs without losing the Wyverns (I used 2 Angels, leaving the Wyverns for the Scout).
In this regard, I hope for help from the experienced players.

Great video!! Keep it up!! :smile01: Luna is simply a WALKING CREMATORIUM :). You can feel the hand of an offline master in the battles. :), I just wish the gameplay was a bit slower and there was some voiceover; IMO, it would improve the overall experience, and the file size wouldn't increase significantly... But even as it is, it's SUPER!

I converted it and added it to the distribution broken link

Pasha, I hope you were copying the Chinese player's moves, and not playing like that yourself... How many times did you collect resources diagonally in those places where you could save precious movement points? :smile07:
Although overall, the game is quite good. I think the battles are designed according to the standard I use. :) Only here, the fire walls are not used rationally. For example, in the battle with the centaurs, you could have managed with just one fire wall.

And I couldn't capture the "can" with angels and vivas without losing the viverns (I captured it with 2 angels, leaving the viverns for scouting).

Well, in the video, I did capture it. In reality, it's much easier. You can make the griffins skip their turns and heal the angel. You can cast "Mass Slow" and then they won't catch up to the angel and you can just heal it... You can even hit them with lightning and theoretically manage without a fire wall.

Hooray! Finally, some constructive criticism.

I will try to address all the comments.

That's strange... I think I was copying the Chinese player's actions, but I didn't notice any loss of movement points. I compared the final position of the hero with the saves - it seemed to match, at least in the first week, - I honestly didn't have the patience to reconstruct the second week.
Please specify the exact day when this was noticed - I will try to figure it out.

For example, in the battle with the Centaurs, you could have managed with just one wall.

I won't argue. The way all the battles were conducted is my own invention, and I don't have much experience playing as Luna. Nevertheless, after the battle with the Pixies, all the mana was spent.

Well, you did take it in the video.

But the saves clearly show that Verdish had 4 Dragonflies left, and the rest of the army went up, being carried by Luna through the Conservatory.
Luna spent about 40 mana in the Conservatory - there wouldn't have been enough for Lightning (4 Lightning spells at 210 damage each is less than 40 Griffins).
I thought about using Oil and healing the Angel, but I was planning on doing that in case the Griffins' morale dropped. Again, it all comes down to the amount of mana spent.
How to also carry 13 Wyverns with you - that's a mystery to me.

Just play a little slower.

I agree. And also, sometimes show the overall picture of the game map.
I got carried away with placing the heroes at the right coordinates and forgot about why I was doing it.

and add voice-over

That's a problem. I don't understand all the Chinese player's actions.
For example, taking the Necropolis (on day 113, if I remember correctly):
I found only one arrangement in which exactly 1 Fly is lost in this Necropolis. In all other cases, more Goblins are saved, but 2-3 Flies are lost. Apparently, the Chinese player considered it important to have an extra Fly instead of a group of Goblins. (Maybe the Dragon Fly is perceived as a relative of the Chinese Dragon? :))

Oops... I didn't even think that avi files could be archived. I'll keep that in mind :)

And what programs do you use for recording videos?

There are a lot of programs available. Personally, I use Corona; its advantages are slightly better quality and much smaller video size!

As promised, I'm uploading a recording of a game with Vova on the Chinese balance. Two weeks have been voiced so far, and only one week remains :) The video is divided by weeks: broken links. This time, I tried uploading it to Mail.ru, let's see how it works from there:).

Thank you!!!!

For newbies, please explain what "on the Chinese balance" means?

“using the Chinese balance”

We played according to the rules established by our Chinese friends: /topic/6408/, hence the expression :)

A very productive first week, clearing out the native spawn area. Well done, Mikhail!

Thank you!! The download speed is great, and the quality of the game is simply amazing!! In the chains, practically every link works at 200%, it's breathtaking! Unlike mine...:smile33:

One question: Why don't you use the HMM3_Lighter program? It saves a lot of mouse clicks, and the chains just fly across the map... watching how the troglodytes were passed around made my heart ache...;)>

The video is great, I especially liked the commentary, it's cool.

yes, the video and comments are great!! we're looking forward to week 3!!!

The lighter and the video recording program don't work well together – they have overlapping hotkeys; F9 is used for start/pause recording. Besides, I'm already used to it, and I have plenty of time. If we switch to a strict 4-minute limit, then yes, it would be useful.
