Posts from I challenge you! Auto-translated

I mostly played with humans :) (humans) 2x6 (AI), I'm not sure which month, but we were the only two left) and we beat each other up for 6 whole months :smile01:

I played on version 1.0, and the armies still accumulate very quickly. How do you defeat them? The enemy always has 150-200% more creatures than your hero, and the hero's stats and magic don't help; they overwhelm you with numbers... (Well, maybe I'm just bad at the game).

I have a couple of suggestions for the map:
1) I suggest making it so that you can only hire heroes of the same race as the Castle in the tavern.

2) I wanted to implement this somewhere, but it would fit better on your map: make it so that attacking a garrison involves the hero, i.e., the enemy hero attacks the garrison, and an arena is triggered with an army from the garrison + your main hero. That would be more interesting (much more interesting :) The hero's stats, magic, etc., would have a bonus, and the garrisons wouldn't be so weak, even if you reduce the number of creatures in them, because they become too numerous after a while.

Well, honestly, I don't know, there's nowhere to reduce it further, unless I can suggest you lower the game's difficulty ;) I also made an increased initial bonus for the player on Warrior and Recruit difficulty against the AI.

And I lost my main hero on the second week against the AI, he didn't even manage to escape. I hired another hero of a different race in the tavern, leveled him up, and it turned out to be an excellent combination, which I used to defeat the AI. It's an interesting combination when you're not playing with your own army ;) It would be great if you could always have one of your own heroes and one hero of a different race in the tavern (maybe it's possible, I haven't checked yet, but I doubt it), instead of only your own heroes. Otherwise, if only your own heroes are available, we won't be able to re-hire a lost hero who didn't even have time to escape during a battle, and at a high level, which is not good. But, despite this, I think it's better to stick to native heroes. It's more reliable; I haven't thought about it myself yet. Thank you for that.

And I was already thinking about doing that. But how many heroes can be transferred in Multiplayer? The outposts are already good enough. The AI attacks the hero, but several of your own heroes are lost/flee :D This means each hero needs leveling up, and will there be enough heroes? Unless it's in version 2.0, but 2.0 is already starting to resemble a remake.

Try the SM version. There's a boss in the outpost ;)

This way, you can set a restriction on heroes appearing after their death/escape in the tavern.

There's no need to translate them; I haven't figured out how to do the technical part yet, but I meant a standard attack against the garrison. And summoning, say, the main hero (you can select them in different ways, for example, by the highest level), and at the end of the battle, the hero doesn't die; he remains standing with his army where he was at the end of the turn, as if he was just summoned to repel the garrison, and now he continues with his business.

P.S. I think you can do something similar by reserving heroes... reserve all the standard heroes and summon the hero who turned out to be the main one on the global map... although the name might coincide... then I think you need to make copies of all the standard heroes with different names in the script (it's a hassle, of course, but interesting :smile01:)

I don't know if it's possible to set the status of a defeated hero in tactical mode; then, all these manipulations wouldn't be necessary. We activate the main hero, disable the auto-completion of the battle, and when the army in the garrison runs out, we set the status of the defeated hero so that he simply appears in the tavern later.

Of course, all this needs to be done through a script, disabling the outpost, enabling it, clearing it, making it active/inactive, but it's not that complicated anymore :)

Endless heroes, through the reserve, kill a hero, and he can be summoned back from the reserve. Regarding hiring, I didn't quite understand; you can allow this hero to be hired in the tavern, and then even if he loses, he ends up in the tavern (though I'm not sure exactly, it seems he goes back to level 1 :)).

So, will it be the same hero? In reserve? Won't they decrease in number for hiring if placed in reserve?I don't know yet if it's possible to summon a copy of the hero from reserve. And how many copies will need to be accumulated and placed in reserve. And having two identical heroes isn't good. I'll get to my home computer in the evening, and I'll probably check it, if someone doesn't get there before me :)
If this is possible, then it will be possible to calmly implement everything.

example: I'm adding the hero Sarge (commonly known as Axel) to the reserve. In the map settings, in the Heroes section, I check the boxes for the heroes that will be available on the map. In the script, I write:

player = {1, 2, 3, 4... etc.};
for i = 1, length(player) do
  AllowPlayerTavernHero(player[i], 'Sarge', nil);
end;

Yes, you can summon the same hero from the reserve infinitely. Regarding whether you can summon a copy of the hero from the reserve, I'm not sure, but it's easy to figure out logically for tactical scripts, e.g., using StartCombat... He is not summoned onto the map, which means that effectively, there will only be one hero on the global map. (There is DeployReserveHero for summoning from the reserve onto the global map, but it's not needed here)
80 heroes, that's if it's the standard set... I suggest making it simpler: take one hero for each race, name them something like "Garrison Defender," and summon them :). Control their abilities and upgrades through scripts, depending on the difficulty or other factors, such as the day since the start of the game ;) (this option might even be more fun).
