"Intricate" – does this refer to the number of times and which finger to use to click the left mouse button?

The whole bus was laughing, let’s hear another one.

Is "sophisticated" meant in terms of how many times and with which finger you need to click the left mouse button?

Clicking the left mouse button in Heroes 3 won't get you far. Or rather, you won't go anywhere at all. It works fine there. In Heroes 2, you can, but that game is universally disliked.

Pfft, killing Orcs is a real pleasure. Run up, cast Fireball, run away... and they're dead. And with summoning, you can even relax, sit down, and have a cup of tea.

Pfft, killing orcs is a real pleasure. You run up, cast Fireball, run away... and they're dead.

But that's only if you're playing as a mage, and even then, it's not always that easy. Because what happens is, you cast Fireball at one, and the whole horde runs at you – that's six to ten orcs (usually). Among them are shamans who cast Fireballs at you. And the warriors will run towards you. You might manage to kill one, maybe two, if you're a good mage. But then you're in trouble if you don't come up with something. Also, your mana might run out while the orcs are running towards you. Sometimes you have to pull out your sword and fight, which isn't ideal for a mage. So you have to be careful.
However, you can tediously lure the orcs out one by one, two by two, three by three, and deal with them separately, but that's not interesting. I took out that whole group in the screenshot in one go. There were also about as many orcs lying around near the hut. And there were also wargs and dragon snappers. Although I'm a paladin, I can take on two or three orcs at a time in melee combat and heal quickly.
Although, no, I can't take on three yet. Or only on very open terrain and without elite warriors.

Sometimes you have to take out your sword and fight, which isn't very mage-like.

When I was playing as a mage, after getting the first fire arrow rune, I forgot about melee weapons. You just need to pump up your mana. And have more mana potions and don't forget to assign them to a hotkey. And that's it. I rarely used my staff, just to swat away flies.

Hotkeys? There aren't any hotkeys. You can only put a '1' somewhere in the .ini file, and as a result, when you press a certain button, it will activate the healing spell. Maybe it can also assign mana to a button, but I don't know. The bad thing is that it always uses the most powerful potion it has. And in general, I don't use it. In general, the inventory with number keys 1-0 is sorely lacking in Heroes 1 and 2. Staff? Two-handed. I wanted to develop a paladin with a two-handed weapon. Maybe I'm just bad, but it doesn't work out, so I ended up switching to a one-handed weapon, which is much faster. I just can't stand swinging so slowly -_- A two-handed weapon only makes sense when you've developed the character to 60%, then it's more or less usable. Otherwise, I can only use it in the first part, because there everything is done a little differently; a two-handed weapon is better than a one-handed weapon there, while in Heroes 2 they are equal. And you won't take out six orcs with a fire arrow.

Heh, I've never used a two-handed staff. There's a one-handed staff of the judge – at first, I leveled up the one-handed staff to 30% so I could more or less comfortably kill weak mobs, and then I went to join the monastery. Well, after that, everything was easy.

With a fireball, you can't take down six orcs.

And why would I need to? Just level up a bit – and you'll have both a fireball and the ability to summon a skeleton.

There are no hotkeys.

There are. As you correctly put it, they are set in the ini file. Both for mana and for healing. I don't remember exactly how, though. Google it, you might find something.

And I even pumped up the mage's dexterity to 60 to get the Master Sword skill. Before that, I usually used the Wolf Tooth, a regular rapier, and some swords.
I didn't really use the Summon spell much. I remember killing trolls by summoning about twenty skeletons and goblins. I remember not being able to kill a dragon by summoning the same number of adult skeletons; it regenerated faster than they could kill it.
However, I played as a mage for the very first time when I first played Gothic, and I did many things wrong due to my inexperience. And I think G2 was also my first RPG.
I won't Google it; I don't need to; I'm doing fine without it.
You also can't kill many orcs with the Fireball spell. In any case, neither a mage, nor a mercenary, nor a paladin can handle a large crowd in an open space. You either have to lure them out one by one or come up with something.
If only there was a Rain of Fire spell. But it can only be used in the sixth chapter, and it costs about 150 mana. By the end of the game, I had that much mana with all sorts of amulets, but again, I was a noob and developed my character incorrectly, because good mages finish G2 with 250-300 mana.

Yeah, I did have 300 mana. But I restarted the game several times, so I won't tease you about it.

I'm just trolling myself, and you don't know how to troll, so don't even try. I should try playing as a mage sometime. I remember in the first game, to support my affinity for magic before I became a mage, I would buy a ton of fire arrow scrolls in the castle and just shoot everyone with them. It's a waste, since these scrolls in Heroes of Might and Magic I are much cheaper than in Heroes of Might and Magic II. I could buy 20-30 of them at a time.

In the first part (it’s strange that I haven’t told you this yet), I had a funny glitch in the game. Imaris, remember the frying pans? One of them in the Old Camp didn’t work properly: instead of frying meat, it doubled its quantity. Moreover, the effect was limited only by the amount of memory allocated to the variable. So, I accumulated several million pieces of meat, raided the local merchants, took all the currency they had, and enjoyed life :)

Hmm, I don't know about any "buggy frying pan."
I know about a simple bug that allows you to duplicate any item. And that includes meat on the frying pan, potions you drink, and so on.
But I'm not some noob who would use it, like you :3
In Gothic 1, you could just beat up the merchants and take everything. In my opinion, this was a mistake. Because after chapter three, trading doesn't make sense, since you can just beat them up and take everything they have. However, you don't have to use it.

Look at all these current Gothic 1 and 2 modders. Instead of making even one decent mod that makes many things in Gothic more convenient (inventory, menu, that bar with the numbers 1-0 and quick items on them (forgot what it's called), frying meat like in Gothic 3 (not clicking each piece on the frying pan, but immediately specifying the amount you want to fry), a "take all" button in chests, inventories, etc., or, like in the community patch for Gothic 3, if there's nothing left to take from a body, you can't select it, the name simply won't appear above it, so you don't have to "feel around" a crowd of corpses looking for those you haven't looted yet), they make boring mods with boring new quests, boring new worlds, boring new storylines, boring new dialogues, boring new weapons, and so on.

First, I read "Moldy Werewolf," and thought, "What nonsense is this?" - but then, when I opened the topic, I realized I was an idiot. But overall, I liked it, Moldy, you're great.

The thing is, fearing a fire, the forge was located near the river, what a clever forge, and behind it was the Dark Forest. And on that very day, they came from there. A trio of terribly stinking creatures, barely able to walk. ...bums?

For some reason, I was more confused by the "clever" forge.

Five years of hard labor... But at least I know metals. And I mastered engineering... ...where's the logic? O_o'''

This guy subtly hints at where and how long he studied after school.

Moldy, let's have a continuation =)

P.S.: What have you guys done here? I'm too lazy to read the latest posts, it's boring and uninteresting.

You should play Gothic instead; it will be more interesting.
