Posts from Please offer some advice.

Hello! I currently have Heroes 4 (a pirated copy). I like everything, but there are 2 problems: 1. There is absolutely no creature upgrade (e.g., from Monster to Ancient Monster, or from Cyclops to Cyclops King - as in the third part). Is this a feature of the fourth part, or is it due to the pirated copy? Are there any add-ons, patches, or mods that eliminate this shortcoming? 2. When I enter the dungeon in a town, the game crashes... What should I do?

1. The lack of upgrades is one of the distinctive features of the fourth installment.
2. It's a pirated copy. It's difficult to give any specific advice. The only thing I can suggest is to install Equilibris on top of it (as a mod); it might fix some issues.

I got a licensed version from BUKA. Nothing has changed compared to the pirated version... I tried to install Equilibris. At first, it wouldn't install at all, then I downloaded 2 EXE files from the Equilibris website, replaced the originals with them - Equilibris installed, but as soon as I enter the game and try to start a campaign/scenario, the game crashes immediately, and a window with the error "memory cannot be read" pops up :confused:
How can I make it work with Equilibris?
The original version is very raw((( No battle grid, no possibility to play online, there are glitches. Equilibris fixes all of this...

Obviously, this is version 1.x. Equilibris is recommended to be installed on the latest version, i.e., 3.0 (Whirlwinds of War) or 2.x (The Gathering Storm). You need the add-ons.

Here's a question.
Under what conditions do neutral monsters try to chase after the unit leading them away? Often, neutrals simply don't want to be lured by a fast-moving unit that they can't quite reach. But recently, I was in a battle with 1 Devil, 1 Imp, and a hero (Necromancer, level 3) against 27 Trolls (9+9+9), and when only the Devil and the hero were left on the battlefield, they persistently attacked the Devil. This is how I won the battle, but that's just a detail:)
In general, there's a theory that ranged units are a priority for neutrals, and therefore they will go towards them regardless of other possible targets (they only make an exception when they can reach a monster standing to the side, and even then, not always). But this is just an assumption. I would appreciate it if you could share your experiences.

I always send flyers behind neutral units to force them to retreat. I position them so that the neutral units can attack them. As you noticed, they will almost certainly target the larger flyers, even if they can't reach them immediately. Devils, griffons, angels, and others.

Hello everyone. Does anyone know how to fix this? After playing for an hour and a half to two hours, the bottom row of icons disappears, where you place creatures so they can leave the castle. As a result, the creatures can't leave, and they're unhappy, and so am I. It happens on both the licensed and pirated versions; I've checked on two computers. Thank you.

Basically, the thing is that outside (not inside the Castle), you can have more units roaming around than allowed. There's a limit, and you can't have, say, more than 7 armies out there at the same time.

But how can you have more than seven armies wandering around if the maximum number of heroes is eight? Or are you referring to caravans as well?

no, I mean only those that appear on the world map when you access it, the icons of castles and armies on the right – there may be a limited number of these armies.

7 is just an example; I don't know the exact number.

To start, choose either Druids or Haven mages as your supporting units; don't take both. And for the battle, it's better to take Crusaders, as you can either teleport them or bring them within striking distance using a Sanctuary.

and why shouldn't you recruit both? and how can you use the Sanctuary to lure the Crusaders into an attack?

and how can I use the Sanctuary to lure the Crusaders into an attack?

Just like with any other army. If you've retreated to the Sanctuary, what prevents you from moving freely around the battlefield? Redeploy your units as you wish.
Or maybe I just didn't understand the question...:confused:

Why shouldn't you recruit both?

Because of the morale penalty.
