Posts from NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1.

I suggest you post your ideas here. But in general, I should note that the author is now only fixing bugs, and people like me, although they can add something, need to consider all the bugs and conduct a lot of tests. It's probably impossible for anyone to do it as well as Durman did. And I don't want to add bugs to someone else's mod.

I'll note that if the idea is very interesting and feasible in terms of resources/scripts, then it can be done. But! I don't have much time right now, so it will take a while. Unless, I ask someone to help with writing the code, and then I'll insert that code into the mod...

Uladar? Hmm, I haven't seen him((( which part is he in?

2) Have you ever watched the 3rd and 4th parts of the movie "Fantagiro - The Cave of the Golden Rose"? No? Watch it – it's an awesome movie with great characters!)))
So, I suggest creating campaign maps based on the plot of this movie, but with some author's edits and small fan jokes.
The heroes would be: Tarabas (the ultimate mage, evil, etc.), Xelesia (his mother, an evil Sorceress, lol), Darken (his father, an all-powerful demon-mage in a human body ((in the movie, he's a demon, but in a human body, and in reality, he's a human mage)).
I came up with the following Special Abilities (SA) for the heroes:
Tarabas: for each level, +2 to Knowledge and Magic, SA Lord of Evil + Arcane Mastery – all "evil" races join him. (an example of this is Markel, but with undead, and here, all evil races), and development along a mixed Warlock and Mage wheel.
Xelesia: for each level, +2 to Knowledge and +1 to Defense, SA (Mystic), development as a Mage.
Darken: for each level, Magic and Knowledge +2, SA (the same as Tarabas, but it will be Arcane Mastery and summoning 3 Archdemons on the battlefield (like Arantir summons his avatar with stats, but here, it's demons...), and the skill – for every 2 levels of the hero, the attack and defense of Demons, Archdemons, and Demon Lords increase by +2).
Even if it's not possible to create maps, help me create at least the heroes (if they are too overpowered, I'll keep them for myself, and for the rest, we'll make them balanced).
What do you think? What are your ideas?

So, here are my ideas:
1) Revive the third game on the engine of the fifth (from a technical point of view, it won't be difficult to create monsters, maps, and stats with mathematics, but castles are more difficult. It may be necessary to slightly patch the original game's executable, but this will require some serious modifications).
2) Have you ever watched the movie "Fantagiro - Cave of the Golden Rose," parts 3 and 4? No? Watch it - it's an awesome movie with great characters!)))

Does anyone know how to make the power of minor artifacts for mages depend on other parameters?

I'm testing my map and also trying out the mod. Here are some observations:
1) Sorgall doesn't just restore lizards after a battle (as stated in the ability description), but can also acquire them out of nowhere. Or as a result of leveling up; I haven't figured that out yet...
2) Thorefin has a very interesting special ability, but why doesn't he have a portrait? Instead of a normal icon, there's a darkened silhouette with a large exclamation mark...
3) I think the changes to the creatures are definitely unnecessary; the mod is supposed to be about creating new heroes. I understand the balance of specializations (like strengthening Sorgall), and changing the power of abilities would be acceptable. Changing the skill tree... Well, that's also possible, of course, but in this mod, it's too significant. You shouldn't unlock specific racial abilities (like Overseer) for everyone. This change doesn't benefit the concept. It loses some of its uniqueness. Moreover, with each level up, you get a bunch of random abilities, and it becomes harder to get the one you're aiming for. Changing the stats of creatures is definitely unnecessary; it doesn't relate to the theme of the mod, and a separate mod is needed for that.
