Posts from (Hero - Rogue) in Heroes 4

A map with no (or few) treasures, resources, and artifacts is a bad map.

When I play as Chaos, I usually only use one thief! :cool:
Or, at most, you can turn a mage into a worker with a knife and an axe! :D And let them run around in one squad, gaining experience from the camouflage bonus! :D :cool:

On the contrary, this is an interesting map. Here you need to think about how to manage your money.

A hero with the Stealth skill can only hide himself. This does not apply to other heroes/units.

:D I know that! :D That's exactly what I wrote: "...you can also turn a mage into a worker with a knife and an axe!..." Meaning, a mage can also upgrade their disguise skill! :D :cool:

By the way, one of the main rules for a mapmaker is that the map should not be empty.

On the contrary, this is an interesting map. Here you need to think about how to manage your money.

But by the time you level up the mage's stealth skill, the rogue will already be wrapping around level 5 monsters:D
I always take two rogues if the map is XL and there's room for them to roam:)

A Thief is useful only for gathering resources and artifacts in places that are difficult to break through, and for diversions.
But for him to independently gain experience, he needs to be leveled up first (so that he can defeat monsters of the second level), and it's a waste to take him into the army or spend a couple of chests on him.
But the larger the map, the more useful he is.
In the end, you can assign him a lot of menial tasks:
-capture mines
-bring up the army
-clear out newly spawned nests (like harpy nests, etc.)
-sail the sea
-run to the markets, etc.
-you can even use him instead of a caravan.
