I always use "quick battle".
Tell me, is it really possible to defeat seven computers on the highest difficulty level by playing on auto-battle?

They gave me a weapon, which seems to be the one I lost during the campaign.
I didn't lose anything, and besides, they gave me Orcish weapons, and I haven't even started a campaign with them yet.

The most difficult level: 1 against 7, a little easier is 1 against 5, of course, at the "difficult" level, and if ALL AI are STRONG.
You edited your previous message. But I remember, you said that you were fighting the AI with a "deadly" threat. Please tell me in detail how you do it? I need this! Because I always use "quick battle," and an opponent with a "deadly" threat creates problems for me. :)
Dude, you're incorrigible. You set the most difficult level, but at the same time, 3v3 as a backup, since it's the first time, and so that you can get a feel for the game. And I don't care what you mean by the "most difficult." I was talking about the difficulty of the AI, not about nonsense.
And I didn't fight the opponent; I tricked him, and while he was running after my units, I waited for reinforcements, and that's it. He couldn't buy his own because he was so stupid that he spent

all his movement points on something and couldn't catch up with my units. And my units recaptured his city every turn. This wasn't the case in previous installments, so there's no need to talk about the great intelligence of the AI in 6. At least there, they didn't act so stupidly and didn't leave the cities completely empty. Although patches may fix this, but playing against the computer will never replace playing against a person. A person is always smarter than a machine.

What's your avatar? It's scary:)
In the 3rd, 4th, and 5th installments, I played the highest difficulty level with "quick" battles without any problems.
Well, that's clear:D

Oooooo...
Just download the single-player version and play a 5v5 or 3v3 game with real people.
But don't be surprised if you get crushed on the first day of the second week. The AI isn't the problem here.

What's your avatar? It's scary.
Don't be afraid, are you acting like a little kid?
In the 3rd, 4th, and 5th installments, I easily played on the highest difficulty level using "quick" battles. And in the 6th installment, I played on a difficulty level against 5 AVERAGE AIs using quick battles. I don't have time for strong AIs yet. That's why I'm asking for advice from you. I feel that it's very difficult to defeat STRONG AIs in quick battles; I tried to do it once for 2 hours, then I got angry and gave up.
By the way, you're wrong to be upset about the 6th installment. It's an incredibly awesome thing!
Quick battles are for really slow battles. If you easily killed someone with it, it only speaks to the inadequacy of the AI in the games.
Anyone can play against computers. Play online and compare the "difficulty."

WisTrit, do the poems in your signature accurately describe you? And why don't you indicate your gender in your profile? I don't know how to behave because of this.
I won't say. In general, I think the moderator of this section should delete your question (and my answer to it) with a note about it being off-topic. What do you think?
I'm not arguing that people are smarter and more interesting. But you can play cards or a simple game against people. What's the difference? People can also cheat, and maybe even better than a computer cheater.
The difficulty level in the 6th installment was introduced not by me, but by the developer. You should appeal to them.
But isn't it true that Heroes and cards are completely different games? And you can play Warcraft against a computer! Great argument.

Dynastic weapons made the game incredibly easy; with the same Arachnid, you can complete half of the campaign using auto-battle, as well as scenarios and single-player maps with a ratio of 1 to 7, but it certainly won't improve your skills.

Well, play without the dynasty weapon, or with an un-upgraded one, to make it more interesting.

I'm not saying that I play with it.;)

Hello everyone, I want to share my observations regarding the difficulty of the game in two different versions. I personally noticed and confirmed that in the Steam version, completing the campaign on the difficult level is much harder than in the GOG version. I don't know what causes this, whether it's due to patches or different versions. But it's really more challenging. This also applies to building the castle in the 2nd mission of the prologue for Vyacheslav. Neutral troops are harder to defeat, even with dynasty bonuses, stack divisions, and significant losses, unlike the GOG version where everything was easily swept aside. In general, completing the campaign is much more difficult in the Steam version, and upgrading dynasty weapons and unlocking achievements is also more challenging, but it's very interesting. Although I've only just started the 2nd mission of the prologue for Vyacheslav, I noticed that there are almost no Russian players; most are from other countries. However, there are many people playing online in the evenings, with 20-30 custom maps created, and 1-6 people playing on each.

Did no one stream the November championship? Are there any recordings available?

I agree. But before playing against people, you need to practice against the AI. :)?
No. You need to read guides from people who play against other people.... and only then... When I play against the AI, the creative part of my brain shuts off - I just study its algorithms (and they are the same on any map) and build a system of countermeasures :)

It's not the same with people. The only thing is clearing neutral creatures. But you can learn effective methods much faster through collective discussion or directly in online play.

Spot on. I'll just add that you shouldn't be afraid of defeats, which are inevitable "at the beginning."
And the computer will never teach you a non-standard move; it's only filled with a standard set of solutions.
A simple example: I've never seen the computer use the "spirit" passive ability of elementals, and it's one of the most useful, in my opinion, in Heroes 6.

Noobs only read guides!
Seriously, is it really that cool to learn a "NON-STANDARD!!!1" move by reading a guide from another player? Lol, I'm a pro, I've read a hundred guides, fear me.

Playing against the computer is fine for getting acquainted with the game. But once you've done that, it's not that interesting anymore.

I played Heroes of Might and Magic VI for a bit, and it didn't disappoint. I even thought it might be hard to go back to Heroes of Might and Magic V after this, but it turned out not to be. It seems like the changes, such as reducing the number of resource types, changing the magic system, and hero development, haven't caused any major issues. However, I can't really point out any outstanding features yet – maybe because I haven't fully explored the game. As for the drawbacks, there are a few things to mention. First, there are too few factions – it seems like the developers are trying to make more profit by releasing add-ons. Second, the optimization is poor; on my laptop, the FPS doesn't go above 12 even with the lowest graphics settings. Third, the appearance of the castles... it's too minimalist, in my opinion; after the grand scale of the castles in Heroes of Might and Magic V, it feels unusual. Overall, it's quite playable. I think I'll wait for the add-ons and more patches to come out before switching from the pirated version (what a scoundrel!) to a licensed copy. Is that not very fanatical? Yes, but I'll justify it by saying that Heroes of Might and Magic V is currently much more appealing to me in all its aspects. :smile17:
