It is no longer dug up. The Tear of Ashi is now obtained like a regular artifact :(.

Where? And from whom?

ps: Here's the randomness for you ((( for some, it will be near the castle, and for others, they'll have to travel a long way to get there.

In the map “Wheel of Hatred,” it is located in the very center and is guarded by a very powerful neutral creature.

Yeah, the word "bold" is starting to bother me: rolleyes:

Why are so many of the game's signature features being removed?

As if someone dug it up at some point.

In a three-player game, on a random map, it's quite possible. But in general, yes, building the Grail is very rare.

Yes, they even kill, but they also create something new...
And regarding the Tear, since it drops from powerful neutral creatures, its construction will be faster than in the third game.

P.S.: It's still not entirely clear what principle determines the level of heroes in the tavern...

am I reading?

Is something wrong? I mostly read about arena battles in the Heroes 5 forums.
If you have any questions, ask the game developers. :smile08:

I've been looking around the forums, but haven't found any descriptions of multiplayer battles yet. If the developers had released a beta version of Heroes 4 about 10 years ago :smile41:, the forums would have gone crazy. Back then, people organized virtual battles, race against race, even knowing that there wouldn't be any multiplayer (it was only added in the add-on).

People have accepted the game very calmly, and that's not good.

What ranked battles are you talking about? Are you referring to RTA?

I organized multiplayer battles between different factions :smile33:. Read the "Discussion" threads for the respective factions.

On the easy difficulty level, 25 Chaos Lords and 200+ Fire Elementals guarded the Tear of Ascha. And it doesn't drop from them; it's under their protection ;). I cleared out the neutrals and picked up the Tear.

A good reason to save up some money to buy the game.

Funny, but I clearly jumped to conclusions :smile43:. When I, playing as Orcs, defeated Necropolis, which I had practically declared unbeatable, I wanted to write here that "there is no defense against a weapon if there is no other weapon" :). But when I defeated the undead with humans...

Okay, for now, I'll write about my impressions after duels with Stronghold (a warrior hero with a Blood reputation).

Battle against Haven (Medium AI)
And again, the AI put archers in the front row. They didn't last long there after the attack of the panther warriors :D. A very easy battle, especially after the enraged cyclops destroyed the squads of novices and imperial griffins.

Battle against Inferno (Medium AI)
Perhaps I'll rephrase my first sentence: "there is no defense against Orcs" :). Despite the active opening of the gates, the battle went according to the previous scenario.

Battle against Stronghold (Medium AI)
I was already expecting a more difficult battle, but, again, the advantages of my Orcs outweighed the advantages of the enemy Orcs.

Battle against Bastion (Medium AI)
This was already a difficult battle - the sacred kirins disliked my harpies from the first turn and eventually destroyed them. The kensei dealt with the panther warriors. The crushers died against all the troops. But still, the cyclops, as always, destroyed everyone to smithereens with 150% attacks.

Battle against Necropolis (Medium AI)
Yes, yes, the Orcs won. The biggest irony is that I didn't lose a single squad. The battle was difficult, but, apparently, the Orcs are still effective against everyone. It's strange that they were so unfairly treated on the forum.

Conclusion:
Stronghold simply amazed me with how easy it was to play as them. Here are all their advantages:
+ double attack of the crusher;
+ counterattack of the harpy;
+ with "Ranged Attack 3" (removing the penalty for ranged attacks), goblins are simply super-shooters;
+ centaurs can shoot in any situation, even deal additional damage :);
+ shamans...

And the Cyclops' 150-damage attack doesn't hit allies, only enemies, right? What if there's a group of your own troops standing nearby?

Unfortunately, they do attack. Cyclops aren't very smart :). But if you look at the hint, you can avoid hitting your own units.

Highlighting the attack squares?
