Posts from Discussion about Heroes 4.

Hello, forum members! I've been wondering for a while if there are any "additional" races in Heroes 4. By that, I mean, are all the races divided into "subraces"? Personally, I only know that Haven is divided into Dwarves (not counting Nags - they don't really fit into any category); and Necropolis is divided into Demons and Undead. Think about it, maybe you can find something else.

Based on these considerations, life can be divided into knights (melee combat) and the clergy (monks, angels), death is straightforward, chaos can be divided into those with an ability against the living (medusas, nightmares) and those without it, order can be divided into mages/archers and melee combatants (golems, nagas), strength can be divided into archers/fliers and melee combatants (nomads, ogres, hippogryphs), and nature is more problematic to categorize. But all of this is quite subjective, as you often build and recruit a combined army, taking into account the enemy's race and your own capabilities. In general, this division is well described in the film "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly."

I think Silos Zanj meant not a tactical division, but a division "by nationality."
Then Nature can be divided into fairies, elves, and elementals.

and where should we put the War Dragons? and the Phoenixes, Wolves, Griffins, and Tigers? and the Satyrs and Leprechauns???
It's easier to do it this way: Elves and Monsters and Elementals, that's it, and assign all humanoid creatures to the Elves (Satyrs, Leprechauns, Fairies).

If we proceed from these considerations, then life can be divided into Knights (melee combat) and Clergy (monks, angels), Death - no questions asked, Chaos - into those who have an ability against the living (Medusas, Nightmares) and those who do not, Order - into mages/archers and melee fighters (Golems, Nagas), Might - into archers/fliers and melee fighters (Nomads, Ogres, Behemoths), Nature - the division is problematic. But all this is quite subjective, because you often build and recruit a combined army, taking into account the race of the enemy and your own capabilities. And in general, this division is well described in the film "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly".

Can you be more specific about where it says about this division?:o

Could you be more specific about where it says about this division?:o

If we're talking about nature, I was just brainstorming, and besides, nature has a double set compared to other castles – let those who want to think about a logical division – it can be divided into 3 types instead of 2.
And if we're talking about the movie, the essence of the expressions is approximately this (they were said in different situations):
"All people are divided into those who have a gun and those who don't,"
"... those who have a loaded gun and those who don't,"
"... those who have a gun and those who dig. You are digging,"
and with such a philosophical background, something else was said in the same vein. The movie is from the mid-60s.

damn, you're right, thanks for reminding me, I just know this movie pretty well, I just didn't realize what you were talking about.

guys, I really need your help. I really love the music from HOMM4, but I don't have it in the expansion pack. Does anyone know how I can add it?

Based on everything mentioned here, I've decided that the races can be divided into sub-races as follows: 1) Strength - Barbarians (in the literal sense) and "wild beasts of the barbarians." 2) Life - Knights (soldiers) and the clergy ("half-orc and half-human"). 3) Order - Dwarves (we'll still classify the Nag as belonging to them) and mages (we'll also include genies and Nag in this category). 4) Chaos - Rogues (a few creatures related to rogues); another group of beasts, but now "swamp" creatures; and "underground" creatures (some creatures resemble the underground creatures from Heroes 5). 5) Nature - Elves (and the creatures they have tamed, such as fairies, unicorns, etc.) and another group of beasts, this time forest creatures (when will these beasts end!). 6) Death - (it's clear enough) demons and undead. I hope this sheds some light on my question, i.e., helps determine who is right about dividing the races into sub-races (sorry for the repetition from the beginning of the message).

yes, there are... in castles, the top/bottom rows clearly reflect this.

I agree, but not entirely. For example, Haven is the top row of "creature dwellings," which, according to you, represents gnomes, and therefore, nagas also belong to them. But these six-armed creatures belong to mages, which creates an inconsistency. I think there's a similar error with the Barbarians (both ogres and cyclops could be classified as barbarians or beasts) and with Sylvan (we wouldn't classify a ballista as belonging to the clergy, would we?). So, it would be better to simply categorize these creatures based on their appearance and assign them to a specific type.

Well, yes, the clergy is practically an entire race!

I apologize, of course ;) Is it possible to level up a hero to level 90? I've only managed to get them to level 70... Please answer.
Sincerely, Rainer.

70 - maximum

I didn't include this information in the "Tips" section because, in my opinion, leveling up a hero to level 70 in a regular game is an exaggeration, but:
"Theoretically, each hero could have 99 levels (for full leveling), but the developers decided to limit it to 70 levels (977,845,000 experience points are required to reach level 70)".

Levels do not limit the hero's development. They provide bonuses to health, resistance, and so on. But in reality, with the help of altars and schools, you can always level up the hero until all skill slots are filled.

Levels don't limit hero progression. They provide bonuses to health, resistance, etc. But in reality, with the help of altars and schools, you can always level up a hero until all skill slots are filled.

By the way, theoretically, even at the first level, you can become a grandmaster in all five main skills.
