Posts from Battles. Auto-translated

After yet another instance of getting utterly crushed, I decided to create this thread. Let's post screenshots of awesome victories here (videos are welcome too!).

Let's see some more impressive examples.

Yes, and what is the criterion for an awesome victory? :) Otherwise, everyone will start posting screenshots or videos of victories over a bunch of gremlins and the like... :D

The main thing is the papal moves 8)

Let's see some really impressive examples.

I would gladly, but my screenshot is 1 MB, which is too large due to limitations. So, I just uploaded it to Yandex, take a look: http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/hunter1998-hunter/view/469474?page=0

For some, defeating a bunch of gremlins is easy, so I hope no one will post something like that. :D

Yes, and what is the criterion for an awesome victory?...

Based on the screenshot, don't post battles with less than 10,000 HP!:smile04: In principle, there are sometimes interesting battles when a small army defeats a much larger one. But I remember one Pyrrhic victory when only a few monsters of level 1-2 remained from two awesome armies, and everything was decided by a few extra units of mana. :smile19:

Based on the screenshot, don't post creatures with less than 10,000 HP!

Generally, yes.

Okay, if that's the case, I'll submit my screenshot: I found that I hadn't deleted it yet. There were many tough battles during the "Longest Journey" campaign; this was one of the bloodiest, as the losses were irreplaceable.
And, by the way, size limitations aren't a problem if you save/convert to JPEG and crop.
Battle with archangels on cursed land:

I would gladly, but my screenshot is 1 MB in size.

Okay, how about you record a video and upload it to YouTube, then post the link here, and that would be perfect!

Only today did I figure out how to play with cards downloaded from websites, and I decided to try the tc3 map that you all praised so much, and in general, the losses were minimal:rolleyes: ... although I know that everyone will say that it's very easy to place a companion, I know that myself! =)
And a little about my impressions of this map: when I started playing for the first time, I gathered an army from the Conflux and the Castle (I was lucky with the layout), but as soon as I got to the "end" through the portal, I thought that it was a dead end and restarted. After restarting, the computer ended up there too, and I noticed this and figured everything out. By the way, the castles that I got were just right (Rampart and Tower), the computer somehow came only with an army from the Swamp...

You chose the wrong map. Try "first blood 2.4" for example.

I recently played a scenario, and it reminded me of this topic, so I decided to post some screenshots. When calculating the strength of the armies using the "Hmm3 Calculator" utility, they are approximately equal.

Attach a screenshot of the hero's window; otherwise, the armies might seem equal, but the hero significantly influences the battle, at least in terms of advanced tactics.

Of course, I also considered the hero's parameters when planning the battle, and the advanced tactics are evident from the battlefield. In principle, the tactics could have been replaced with a mass speed boost. The magical properties are not critical – I only cast magic twice, the rest was just melee combat. To reduce losses, it might have been worth dismissing the griffins (replacing them with horses). Archers are mainly for cleanup. Although, in the final battle, I could have sacrificed the army (and done without magic).
For variety, I decided to replay the same situation without magic – I lost 5 horses. Conclusion: "brute force doesn't always work," and magic of levels 1-2 can also be useful :D. By the way, a significant factor can be the enemy's morale dropping, because prematurely freeing blocked grand units increases their attack power by 4 times!

Well, the main thing here is to try to block all the Elves right away: they shoot twice, but in melee combat, they only have 1 attack and a penalty. Speed, shield – and you’re good to go!
