Let's say, capturing the Angel stronghold on the 1st week (if the army is nearby) is the strongest move in such a situation; refusing to do so is a sign of noobishness, with or without morale.

This is obviously a subjective viewpoint. Imagine you cleared the guard from a dungeon on map 114. And it's near an Orcish stronghold. Is an advanced player willing to attack it without scouting? If the army is nearby?:D I lost my first game as Maretti this way, even though there were decent troops scattered around. But no, I decided to save moves (I was in a swamp with non-native troops) - as a result, I lost. Is that a sign of skill?

By the way, it's these kinds of moments that my aesthetic sense refuses to accept. Capturing an Angel stronghold with a ballista and a few pikemen. When the Angels are clearly acting stupid, and you realize that they could easily destroy your army in two or three attacks. Therefore, it's always nice to read reports like, "The Angels in the stronghold, for some reason, rushed not towards the ballista (and this happens), as a result, the hero won."

See, it takes roughly the same amount of time to play as XL+U maps. Look at the reports if you don't believe me - if there isn't a rush on the 2nd or 131 day, the game can drag on until the 2nd month. Pathless terrains generally don't encourage a fast-paced game.

No, usually people who drag out the Small map to the second month will drag out XL+U to the third or fourth. I've seen it in practice

No one has definitive proof that one version is better than another, because they are different versions of the game. It's pointless to argue about which is better. Russian bandy, rinkball, and field hockey are essentially similar games, but they are different. Take tennis, for example. On grass, much depends on the serve (the ball slides quickly across the surface); on clay, it depends on speed and accuracy (rather than the power of the shots); and on hard courts, the ball bounces better, etc. On grass and hard courts, games usually end faster because the rallies are short; on clay, they are often long and tiring. Essentially, these are different versions of the game, but no one says that clay is bad and grass is great. There are clear leaders on grass or clay courts. But on the opposite surface, they are nothing special. (Many don't even play on a particular surface simply because they don't like it.) But there are players, such as Nadal and Federer, who play masterfully on any surface. Mini football and regular football, as well as beach football, are different versions of the same game—different surfaces. Of course, there is a big difference in everything, but that's why they are different games, and it's pointless to say which is better. As for SoD, I'll say that luck favors the strong, and that's absolutely true. No matter how much you talk about morality, etc., in 80% of cases, when players of different skill levels play, the stronger player will win! But if you remove those 20%, what will you get? Nonsense, I'm sorry (programmer battles) and disrespect for Napoleon Bonaparte. By the way, Wicc, someone wrote about the deserved victories of commanders, capturing empty castles for free, etc. But how can you not admire luck? After all, there are hundreds of cases in history where you can only hope and pray that your cunning simply works (the Trojan horse is the same; the SoD morality here is that the Trojans took it, even if it was through deception). You need to hope for pure luck! Apparently, Athena was a SoD player, and Priam was a Warlords player. (Some thought that morality wouldn't work, while others hoped it would.)

R55Max wrote well, and I liked the associations he made. Everyone has their own preferences; some prefer SOD, while others prefer VT. I'll offer another association that I think is quite accurate. When people start working out, they are essentially engaged in bodybuilding. Over time, some transition to powerlifting, while others remain bodybuilders. And just like that, there are debates about which is better, with harsh statements directed at each other from some practitioners. And despite the different end goals, the ways to achieve them are closely intertwined, because in both cases, you work out in the gym and lift weights. Similarly, in Heroes 3, some continue to play SOD and improve their skills, participating in tournaments, while others switch to VT and play there, but they are still playing Heroes. The comparison isn't entirely accurate, but I think it might be relevant. Good luck to all players in both versions!

Quite the opposite, people often transition from Powerlifting to bodybuilding.

Well, that happens too, but there are far fewer people who initially start with powerlifting. Usually, young people come to the gym and just work out, and later some of those who stay start building strength cycles, creating new workouts, changing their technique, and so on. And they become powerlifters. Others continue to work out using bodybuilding cycles. In my opinion, this happens more often.
P.S. I'm talking about ordinary amateurs, not professionals. Professional bodybuilders naturally don't switch to powerlifting. Switching from powerlifting to bodybuilding happens, with Schwarzenegger and Colombo as examples.

The 1st skill definitely doesn't work - shooting seems to work
Let's learn Physical Might!

Let's learn Physical Might! ;) Although I'm not sure how it works in World Tree...

Didn't anyone write anything? =(

In the first post, there's a link to download the heroes; otherwise, I'm getting tired of it...

First, you need to press the Caps Lock key and rip this button out of the keyboard...

CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE TO FIND ALL THE NECESSARY FILES FOR PLAYING HEROES ONLINE? I HAVE HEROES AND HAMACHI, AND I REMEMBER THAT SOME TEMPLATES ARE NEEDED.

http://heroesportal.net/tavern/?id=285954&pagenum=1 There you will find a diagram, a description of the templates, and the templates themselves for download. After downloading the template, rename it to rmg.txt (if the file has a different name) and copy it to the Heroes game folder in the root of the DATA folder (if there is already another rmg.txt there, you need to replace it with the new one).

Bumping the thread again. Does anyone have the ability/desire/time to record a full-fledged VOD? A game with commentary... What's being broadcast and streamed doesn't really make much sense without the player's commentary.

No one has the opportunity/desire/time to record a full walkthrough. Why? Probably because, if they did, they would already be enjoying the game themselves.

Because it's a waste of a lot of time that doesn't benefit the author in any way. It's not even a game against another person or some kind of mission. Initially, everyone was creating content because it was just starting, people were learning, experimenting, and it was new for others. Now there's a lot of content available, but high-quality content is rare and can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Future creators need an incentive to produce content.

I'm not a fan of WODs at all. In Heroes of Might and Magic, there are game saves; you can take them and analyze them. If you have any questions, ask, and you'll get answers. As for WODs, for me, it's more about the aesthetic side than the skill aspect; I just watch and enjoy the game.

Nobody played Conflux this season?)))
