A sniper has a speed of 9, 32 shots, and can shoot at any distance without penalty – therefore, once you get Jela, you should upgrade your archers as soon as possible!

4. Is it possible that there is an artifact on the map, but the Prospector program, for some reason, does not display it?
Prospector may show everything, but the map editor, when searching, indicates the absence of an artifact on the map, while this artifact is actually present with a specific hero on the map. That is, this is not a random artifact that appeared on the starting save – it was intentionally placed by the author.

I've been wanting to know for a long time... There are three artifacts (Elven Cherrywood Bow, Unicorn Hair Bowstring, and Angel Feather Arrows) that, according to their descriptions, increase ranged attack skill by a certain percentage. So, what exactly does that mean? Does it mean that all units with ranged attacks deal a certain percentage more damage? Or does it imply that if the hero doesn't have that skill, then these artifacts are useless?

Does it also add a certain percentage of damage to all units with ranged attacks? Or does it mean that if a hero doesn't have this skill, then these artifacts are useless?

1. Yes. All units with ranged attacks increase their ability (BUT, only if the hero has the Ranged Attack skill). If the hero doesn't have the skill, the artifact won't have any effect (in terms of increasing the damage of ranged units). However, if all three artifacts are present and the Sniper Bow is assembled, its ability will work - shooting without a penalty in melee combat, at a long distance (>10 hexes horizontally), and through walls - in this case, it doesn't matter if the hero has the secondary Ranged Attack skill.
2. The specified artifacts increase the effectiveness of the secondary Ranged Attack skill. For example, if a hero has expert-level Ranged Attack, which gives +50% to the damage dealt by his ranged units, then the components of the Sniper Bow will additionally provide 30%, which will result in 50%*1.3=65% (but not 80%, as is often mistakenly believed). A Ranged Attack Specialist (Orrin) further develops his skill by +5% for each level. Thus, Orrin, who has the Sniper Bow and is level 10, will allow his ranged units to deal 50%*1.3*1.5=97% additional damage.

Hi everyone! Guys, could you please tell me where I can download a good version of 3.58 with all campaigns working properly? I haven't been able to finish any of them in any version I've tried... there's always some kind of error. Or maybe someone has it and can share it with me.

97% damage? How is that possible? If Orrin gives 5%, then you need to multiply by 1.05, not 1.5. Isn't that right? And also: is this Sniper Bow really justified, if you have the Golden Bow, which simply removes the range penalty? After all, in theory, this frees up two slots that can be occupied by more useful artifacts. Or do the +30% to ranged skill outweigh all other artifacts in terms of damage/bonus ratio?

With the Sniper Bow, archers can shoot even when they are blocked.

I understand that all versions there are in English? And are all the Russian versions problematic? Of course, it's not difficult to translate it (there's a link, I think), but maybe there are already translated versions (possibly a complete licensed collection)... I don't quite understand, and is the version from Buka a good one?

I have the Russian version installed. I haven't encountered any major problems. However, it's from a disc containing all the parts of the game.

Is it the Russian version from Buky? I downloaded what I thought was the full version there, and when I unpack and install it... it says it can't find the installed Might and Magic version... I close the message, and it still brings up a language selection and then a list of found components to install, with a prompt to specify the path... I specify it, click OK, and the same window pops up again... so maybe it needs to be installed on something? And is it possible to download the already uninstalled game directly? I really want to play through the entire campaign.

Ideally, it should be installed in the folder with the regular Heroes game. And I saw a portable version on some torrent site.

Is there a link where I can download the regular version? And will the portable version work correctly? I just launched a portable version that I don't remember where I got... it's a mess... black squares covering half the screen... windows are shifted... maybe it won't run properly on Windows 7?... it worked fine on XP(((
97% damage? How is that possible? If Orrin gives 5% extra damage, then you need to multiply by 1.05, not by 1.5. Isn't that right?
For each level, it's 5%. So, at level ten, it will be 50% - these skills are usually quite effective. Avatar-Lion

Shooting in situations where movement is blocked is sometimes extremely necessary. )) Avatar-Lion
Or do +30% to the shooting skill still outweigh all other artifacts in terms of damage/bonus ratio?
That's just the wrong question. What's more important - a book of earth magic or shackles of war? )) It all depends on the task - for example, if you are facing an enemy mage who can wipe out your army in one turn, then the task is to prevent him from getting that turn. Here, maximum damage is more important (you'll also have to generate morale). But if it's a weak enemy who is ready to run away, then shackles are probably more important. And so on - endlessly.
