Okay)). I'm writing here because comments from 201 to 210 were posted here about how to play over a network.
I would like to know more specifically how to play online. I went to this page:
/topic/at/4955/
It says that version 3.0 of "WoW" is required at a minimum. I tried to download it, but it says that version 2.2 is needed for this version, and versions 2.1 or earlier are also required… In the end, I didn’t understand anything. If possible, could you explain in detail how to install this version (or maybe there is another way to install it? o_O)

When I try to enter the online game, I get this error: "This option will be available soon. Please use the game update utility." What should I do? (I have a licensed copy of the game).

I have two questions:
1. Where can I ask general questions?
2. What types of magic are available in the "Academy," besides life, death, and order (I want to understand this for completing Alita Eventyne's campaign)?
Thank you to everyone who responds.

1. You can ask any question here that is related to Heroes of Might and Magic IV, whether it's general or specific.
2. Any, it depends on the settings of the specific building on the map.
In the universities of order and life (castle building), only the magic types whose spells are available in the castle itself will appear.

Hello everyone.
I have a question. A long time ago, I had version 4 of Heroes, which included campaigns based on The Lord of the Rings. What was the name of that version?
I reinstalled my operating system back then and lost the game.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night!
I understand that for many, the question might seem silly, but could you tell me how to bypass the "Great Wall" in the "Barbarian" mission? I've been struggling with it all day. :) :) :)

I don't quite remember if you can kill with catapults, but you should have catapults and destroy it by standing in a specific spot.
Or, there's a portal in the dungeon.

Hello everyone.

I reinstalled my OS and lost the game.
This is Equilibris, a pirated, cracked version, so it's better to buy the original + Warlords and install Equilibris on top of it.

I've been hooked on Heroes 4 lately, but I'm only playing single-player and I'm really bad at it... I can't seem to manage battles at all:(. I'm trying to play maps for online duels - it's brutal, my brain is just fried:smile04:, how can anyone play those?:eek: Is something like Plains of Despair 1.6 a playable map:confused:? There, 2 paths are blocked by neutral heroes with armies of 20-49 level 4 creatures, i.e., taking them down will be harder than in offline mode:smile32:. And yet, with a starting army, for example, playing as a Barbarian, half of the army is wiped out on the very first mine with the weakest guard - and what then, the heroes haven't even leveled up at all?!... In general, the moral of the story is: you need to create several Water Elementals, even just a couple, if someone experienced isn't too lazy to do so... Please:)! P.S. And in Iron Man mode, everyone gets some kind of gloves on the second day, while I don't even see them:D... That's what being a noob is all about!..:rolleyes:

And in general, I have a lot of questions:
1. How to develop properly, because the rules of the third game definitely don't apply here?
2. What are the Expert and Advanced difficulty levels - maximum and pre-maximum? In my version, they seem to be called Champion and Magister...
3. When starting with "no money," do you really have to have the heroes collect chests in a zigzag pattern (as I understand from the reports)?:confused: :eek: and where to get the bare minimum for the first buildings to clear the guards and treasure chests? and why waste movement points like that?
4. Is Necromancy (collecting skeletons) completely useless here - :smile18:? Is it not at all like in the third game?
5. How do you even play as this Barbarian?:D without magic...
6. Does it make sense to buy various potions/armor in the first 1-2 weeks if you're short on money - and what should you buy first?

And there are many more - these are just the ones I remembered right away...

I'm far from a pro, but here's what I know:
1. How to properly spread out your units, since the rule of three doesn't apply here for sure?
With the right approach, you can acquire artifacts, mines, and resources on some maps just by using heroes. How? You pick them up/capture them, get attacked, and then run away to your castle. That's it! :D
How do you even play as this Barbarian? Without magic...
It's very simple. If you know how to :D For example, I play with all factions on standard maps and complete them on the highest difficulty level. And that's despite the fact that I don't play very well :D

Thanks for at least someone responding :) But it doesn't help much (for someone as slow as me :D)...

I'm not talking about that: how to move – with 1-2 heroes in the army and split them across 2-3 fronts, or move all 4-5 together in one direction and retreat to corners during fast-paced gameplay (and not just messing around for months...;) )? What are the subtleties of saving movement points, and how to deal with slow units – if you absolutely need them (and even with them, things aren't going well :smile32: )? I understand that "acceleration" exists in some twisted form in the 4th game as well, but I still can't figure out in what way :rolleyes:...
It's very simple, if you know how.
For example, I play on standard maps with all heroes and complete them on the maximum difficulty level.

Well, I set up hot-seat mode and random maps on duel maps and tentatively try things out on Expert, but so far without much success. Strong guards are impassable for me in the first weeks, and heroes don't level up. I get four heroes to around level 8 by the 4th week :smile18:, and everywhere the computer tells me: "I will be crushed, I will be crushed" - even though it's obvious without it :) So, how do you deal with, say, 20-30 creatures with supporting units in the 3rd-4th week :confused:? At least... Or a bunch of Sorceresses (each of whom deals 90 damage) or Gargantuars, and there are many others...

I've gotten a little better with Order using the Djinn + Titan combination: the first ones slow down and "subdue," the second ones shoot down the helpless, but this tactic doesn't work against everyone... And without Djinns, it's difficult for other races in this regard.

P.S. I finally found gloves behind 3 Golem-Dragons (on Iron Man), on the 2nd-3rd day :smile11: ?? That's crazy, how?:confused: With whom?:smile50:
