Posts from A THREAD FOR NEWCOMERS!

Hello everyone! I'm new here, and I'd like to start playing through GR. I'm looking for a player who wants to play with me.

Could you please tell me why there is no map editor in Heroes 3: Horn of the Abyss?

Avrora666, you should ask this question in the Horn of the Abyss mod subforum. Probably, the editor is not ready yet. I haven't tried the mod myself, but it has received a lot of praise (it took a long time to build, but they finally finished it, and now they are improving it).

Hello everyone, and welcome back to this forum. I haven't visited here in a while, but I need advice from experienced players again. I've noticed that even on the second difficulty level, enemy heroes constantly flee. The "Shackles of War" artifact is very rare in the game, and I don't know of any other methods to prevent enemy heroes from escaping. But what bothers me even more is the loss of artifacts, not the loss of experience. As I understand from the game description, a hero loses all artifacts when they flee. Since enemy heroes flee in 95% of cases, capturing the artifacts they are wearing seems impossible to me. As a result, even towards the end of completing a map, the supply of artifacts is extremely limited, which I am not happy about. What should I do?

Spells: Blindness, Slow, and Haste will increase the initiative of your army, which will allow you to finish off the enemy. In battle, when you feel that a hero is about to flee, start with the fastest units and end with the slowest. If you realize that you won't be able to eliminate them completely in one round, skip your turn. And, of course, Wait is always helpful.

As I understand from the game description, the hero loses all artifacts when fleeing.

Where did you read that? Artifacts are not lost.
And try playing other maps, where there's nowhere to put artifacts in your backpack :D

Hmm... Yes, indeed, I just reread the manual – and it really does say that artifacts are saved... Okay, I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your attention.

I won't be able to reread 83 pages, sorry! (Maybe the answer to my question is somewhere there). And I'm even drinking beer... I'll go play poker online instead.
Please help me... (who often plays Heroes through Hamachi?)...
The situation is this: my neighbor has a computer, and we both have the same version of Heroes (I copied it from my computer to his via a flash drive)... We were able to connect and play 1v1 just a couple of days ago!
(Neither of us has changed our Windows)... Hamachi shows a green light for the network!
But now he's getting this error message: http://gyazo.com/3b142a01ea6bef31fb819a3cf954e903
Guys in the chat suggested disabling the firewall... (we disabled it, but it didn't help).
How can we solve this problem?
What could be causing this?!

What is desynchronization? :)

This is when one player has a turn with Angels, and the other player has a turn with Gnolls in a battle against each other.

Here's another question, comrades... Does the composite artifact "Alliance of Angels," which casts the "Prayer" spell at the start of battle, benefit from the bonus that the priest Loins provides to that spell?

This is when one player has a turn with Angels, and the other player has a turn with Gnolls in a battle against each other.

Ah, now everything is perfectly clear!

What is the reason for this phenomenon? According to the rules, you should contact the organizers and, possibly, replay the battle. But how do you remember/prove the sequence of turns in a battle before the desynchronization? I didn't find anything specific in the rules, and I haven't encountered this phenomenon myself.

I don't know how it works in these rules; I read somewhere that it says to "replicate as closely as possible," meaning not move by move. But if the opponent knows how, you can listen to them. Ultimately, it depends on the person's qualities – whether they decide to solve the problem themselves or not. Streams, by the way, offer a chance to review the playthrough.

RiMpel2 is this due to connection issues or some kind of glitch in the game itself? Because, to reiterate, I personally have never encountered this situation, but in tournament reports, I see "desynchronization decided the outcome of the battle" and so on, almost every other time.

It's because of poor connection quality.

I don't even know; I played for a couple of years with a bad internet connection, and a couple of years with a good one, on different versions of the game. I didn't notice any change in the frequency of desynchronization.
