I hope this isn't a silly question (and I'm not a complete newbie either), but what is that object on the maps (I forgot the exact name)? It looks like a sphinx with a skull instead of a face and with smoke that turns into a blue cloud. What does it do?

This is the Veil of Darkness, as I understand it. The Veil of Darkness, when placed on the map, obscures the map around it in darkness for all other players within a radius of 20 tiles when a player visits it. The Veil of Darkness in the Necropolis does this automatically at the beginning of each day.
Personally, I don't really like these veils.

Almost everyone on this forum has a fighting spirit. What does it depend on, and how can it be increased?

Hello! My name is Vadim, I am 8 years old, and I am in the second grade. I have two questions about the Heroes III: In the Wake of Gods walkthrough: 1. How do I build a Neutral Castle? And other castles? 2. In the Death and Devil scenario, how do I cross the river? Thank you to those who respond.

Hello everyone!
I want to learn how to play Heroes 3, but life is busy, and I'd like to do it as efficiently as possible.
Heroes 3 SoD
Heroes 3.5 WoG
Heroes 3.5 TE
Heroes 3.5 WT
I already have them installed. The question is, who can teach a newbie how to play?
I used to play Starcraft from 2003 to 2008, and I became interested in Heroes 3 again thanks to the VODs and articles by Vik on reps.ru and cyberfight.ru that I watched during the New Year holidays.

Or, should I wait for Heroes 6 or play Heroes 5 because there are more people playing it?

I haven't played versions higher than Heroes 3, so I don't know what's going on there.

If someone is willing to mentor a newbie, my ICQ is 323-007-240, and my Skype username is the same.

Added after 1 hour 7 minutes
I installed Gameranger, my nick is c2b.
Another question: what port do Heroes games use so I can set up port forwarding on my router?

Hello. Can anyone help me with these issues...? Recently, I started playing Heroes 3 online, and I downloaded two editions: Heroes 3 Complete. I encountered the following problems: 1) We're playing with a friend online, and everything is fine, but as soon as we load a save game, one of us crashes on the current/next turn. Can anyone help with this? (I have the English version of Complete, and he has the Russian version of the Complete edition). 2) In the Ranger servers, the version displayed in the names is 4.0... but when I select the executable, it shows version 3.2, both in these Heroes and in the other ones. 3) If the problem is with my version of Heroes, can you recommend which version and WHERE I can download it?

After a lot of questioning in ICQ, Kasha (thanks to him) gave me Kryvoruchka's contact information. After several attempts to launch Heroes over the network, and after downloading Hamachi, it turned out that I had the wrong version of Heroes, so I had to reinstall everything and start from scratch. Thanks to Dima for his patience and help. After a long struggle (about 20 minutes), I finally played my first game with him. After 112 turns, where I was playing as an Elf with Mephala and suffered losses of 14 centaurs on the Pokémon map, I took a Castle and was preparing to take another Fortress on the other side. Kryvoruchka said that he had a small respawn point and the exits were guarded by vampires, another exit had a hundred centaurs, and a third exit had a few titans. At the same time, he was playing as Inferno with Omela :D. So, that was my first attempt, and it didn't go well.

Could you please advise where (or to whom) I can turn with a question regarding the game mechanics (specifically, creating a template) to get an answer? I will explain clearly, describe what I have already tried, and provide screenshots. It seems that not many people share their experience in this thread.

Hello everyone.
Recently, I came across a stream about Heroes on sk2.tv – it brought back memories, and I felt like playing again. I read the forum, downloaded, updated Heroes to the latest version, and installed version 1.03.
I have a few questions, maybe you can help:
1. I don't quite remember and understand the rules – I'd like to find a place where I can look them up, with explanations, if such a resource exists.
2. Where can I find opponents besides the forum? Are there any servers or something similar?
3. I patched my Heroes to the latest version – what versions are people currently playing? Which ones are up-to-date?

If this is a noob question, sorry. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone.
I recently came across a Heroes stream on sk2.tv – it brought back memories and made me want to play again. I read the forum, downloaded Heroes of Might and Magic, updated it to WOG, and installed version 1.03.)
I have a few questions; maybe you can help:
1. I don't quite remember or understand all the rules – I would like to find somewhere where I can look them up with explanations, if such a resource exists.
2. Where can I find opponents besides the forum? Are there any servers or something similar?
3. I patched my Heroes to the latest WOG version – what versions are people playing now that are current?

If this is obvious, sorry. Thanks in advance.

1 /topic/7430/

Thanks a lot! :)

Another question: if you play Necropolis in War of the Towers, is it normal that there's no Necromancy?

Another question, if you play as Necropolis in War of the Throne, is it normal that there's no Necromancy?

Yes. But you can upgrade vampires there, which is a pretty good compensation. And Galtran is still strong, especially on maps with a lot of trees, hiding spots, and level 1 units, and no one has canceled the Transformer... ;)

Yes. But at least you can upgrade vampires there.

:D Do they upgrade in a special way?

According to the official rules (for SoD, as already mentioned in the thread, and other resources have similar rules, not just ХВ), you cannot build a grade for Vamps; you can't even place a Necromancy Amplifier, and you cannot upgrade your own or buy upgraded vamps from a computer's Castle if there is a vamp grade there (but if amplifiers exist, any extra skeletons obtained because of this amplifier should not be dismissed)

And in TE the Necromancers are heavily nerfed, so much so that Vamps had their growth increased by one for fairness. In VT the necro is a quite decent city, like all others—the swamp doesn't count )) everything is imba ))

Balance between everyone is approaching...
