Posts from Taking of the Necropolis [COMPLETE EDITION]

On swamp maps, the strategy of capturing Necropolises often fails. Vampires don't fall for the "snake" tactic and fly upwards on turn 3.

The tactic of capturing graveyards often fails in swamp maps. Vampires don't fall for the "snake" tactic and fly upwards on turn 3.

There should be a stack of 40+ gnolls there.

And as already mentioned, these tactics are only suitable for 160%, as the mobs behave differently at 200.

Who said that? Where is the confirmation of this information?

With 130-160-200% AI, the behavior is the same.

38+:smile04:

38 is too few. Seriously, it has been tested that 45 Goblins is definitely enough, and problems start appearing somewhere between 40 and 45.

there, the ratio is the number of lizards to the number of gnolls...
for example, if you simply add 5 lizards, i.e., 42 gnolls and 25 lizards, the vampires will fly towards the lizards, and not towards a fly...

The download links are broken. Does anyone have the ability to upload them somewhere?

From the autumn championship of Siberia, it was interesting to see how Valesk captured the maxisklep with 23 simple archers, 31 spearmen, and 2 griffins.
I managed to lose 13 spearmen and 2 griffins.
Also, it's interesting how Dirty managed to lose 10-11 fairies with the Cult faction?
My best result was with 16 fairies and 1 fish.
And for Rampart, it was interesting to observe the behavior of the undead when there were only about 40 centaurs in the stack. But still, I only lost 5 centaurs.

I uploaded a save file from the skelps capture from the Siberia championship, as I think it will be interesting for beginners to practice capturing.

Hey, could you make one for the Cove?

I was just trying to figure out how to merge at the Cove in the Necropolis... 0_o. Basically, the tactic is this: "pew-pew-pew-pew-boom-boom-boom-boom." Before the "boom," remove the retaliation from the zombies. Spread out the nymphs so they don't get hit. No problem.

P.S. And anyway, HotA doesn't exist for Heroes yet, so be patient).

Hey, why don’t you host a tournament for Heroes of Might and Magic Online? It would attract more players to the project.

The strategy for capturing the Necropolis located near the swamp remains open for discussion. Neither of the proposed strategies guarantees a 100% success rate. Vampires are a nuisance and cause problems. :)

Decided to create a "complete edition" for HotA as well. Here's my strategy for taking the maximum number of Necropolises.

Cove

Hero: Annabelle, level 1
Army: 15 Pirates, 55 Nymphs
Losses: 8 Nymphs

You don't necessarily need to lose 8 nymphs. I took an average number of pirates, not the minimum, but there's one extra shot available, so it should work the same with 15 as well.
