Posts from NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1. Auto-translated

I would also like to see Battle Fury or Tactics instead of Marksmanship in Garuna’s starting build.

Why would Garun weaken himself?

You can't level up both Stunning Strike and Tactics simultaneously with Ranged, so you have to look for knowledge and learn shouts to make the hero at least somewhat useful. On the other hand, with Ranged, if you manage to capture machines, you can level up Armor Penetration. Maybe I'm wrong, but Ranged only helps in the early game, while Garuna is a "late-game" hero.

Yes, I was wrong, it's not difficult to capture machines, Orcs have a lot of attacks, plus the special ability adds to it, so the ballista is good for her. Sorry for the slight off-topic.

I can't transfer artifacts to another hero with Avraana, I get this message: "This artifact cannot be transferred to another hero." (I don't know where she got the artifacts from, I hired her in the tavern, already leveled up and with artifacts).

Mahur, regardless of the player's color, runs around with a yellow flag.

I had an idea for a hero's special ability, I'm not sure if it's feasible and balanced, but I'll suggest it anyway. If possible, make a copy of the "Sharp Mind" perk as a special ability and set the hero's position to 1 on the initiative bar, so that he gets his turn at the very beginning of the battle. This gives many possibilities, you can buy yourself out or run away immediately if the situation is bad, you can cast Phantom Call or a general spell, which will be beneficial in such a situation.

By the way, how much do Fagus's various bonuses increase with each level?

Malustar has starting stats of 4 1 3 2, is that correct?

Miv is quite strong for the Order faction, at level 21 with Speed Magic, Griffons have 29 initiative, and they go several times before any of the opponents' turns.

I can't transfer artifacts from Avrana to another hero; I get this message: "This artifact cannot be transferred to another hero." (I don't know where she got the artifacts from; I hired her in the tavern, and she was already leveled up and had artifacts.)

Stolen artifacts from Avrana cannot be transferred.

Mahur runs around with a yellow flag, regardless of the player's color.

We will fix this.

This is already in battle. We won't do it.

Not for the pure version. I will fix it. (These were the stats in the version with the modified skill tree)

Miv is too strong for the Order faction; at level 21, with the Speed Magic skill, Griffons have 29 initiative and go several times before any of the opponents' turns.

This special ability can be countered with a general slow effect

If someone manages to cast it in time. ))
Now, imagine for a second: Miv with such an expert speed boost + leadership + empathy. What are the chances for the opponent to counter the speed boost if they aren't a Necromancer with their ultimate ability?)

It's not that simple for Miv either; you need to level up Magic Speed, Sharp Mind, and find a couple of units with magic or knowledge skills. But if everything goes according to this plan, she's hard to counter, and against a Dark Mage, you can take Eternal Light if you're lucky enough to catch him. :)

You can also cast a counterspell against your opponent. Steal mana. Let's have a forum fight!

I'm playing as Kostya, and I attacked a squad that was roughly equal in strength to my army, but instead of fighting, they joined me. So, as I understand it, he has a certain chance to recruit a squad to his side, regardless of its strength, right?

Everyone has that chance. Was there diplomacy involved, and who joined?
He only has a slightly higher chance, like 1% (0.2*0.1), if the strength is equal.

A squad of 60 Imps, I have 45 Skeletons and 12 Zombies. No Diplomacy was used.

Keep playing. I need to check it out. I only got 2 squads throughout the entire game.

Maybe I'll make it 2% per level for Miv instead of 3%. But then I'll give her light at the start.

In 3 months and 1 week, 6 units joined Kosta. I didn't level up Diplomacy; at level 2, I leveled up the Death Herald, which turned out to be very useful. Also, Melchior from a level 1 guild learned Divine Power and Dodge. Although Dodge isn't a level 1 spell, I'm not sure where he got it from... Aglyon seemed weak (especially compared to how he was a long time ago :D), maybe he should have a 3% bonus, or even less, since all heroes are already buffed in terms of creatures. For example, Urika among the Orcs gives a 4x bonus to the growth of shamans at level 20, although half of them require money, and you need to be in the city on the last day of the week, but still...

Galtran brings in very few bone warriors; maybe I'm doing something wrong with him? :confused: By the way, is it possible to interact with dark energy using scripts, such as: find out how much is left, reduce the cost of raising undead, increase the maximum amount, increase the current amount, etc.?

I've already fixed the spells for the next version; I noticed it a minute after releasing 0.71 (it happens).
Aglion also restores mana. In 0.72, I described this as well.

Added after 35 seconds
Dark energy cannot be manipulated by scripts.

Added after 2 minutes
All heroes have a formula for creature growth: (growth/10)*hero level.

How much mana does Aglion regenerate from them? When will 0.72 be released? My break is ending soon, and I would like to test it more; otherwise, I will play less frequently.

You can determine the average game duration and level on a map and derive a formula where: (Increase * hero level) / (average duration in weeks).

Fagus:
NHF_Fafus_percent = 2; -- Number of levels for a single increase in the main parameter

Aglion:
Number of imps/16 after each battle.

Not soon ((( I want to create several complex features with treasure rooms.
