Based on my experience, it's about half the time. I might be wrong, but... Seriously. The hit/miss statistics usually reflect this:
1st attack: Miss. After that, it's possible to hit or miss.
2. If it's a miss, there are two guaranteed hits afterward (probably a quirk of the game's randomizer, because theoretically, it shouldn't be like that).
If it's a hit, we go back to point 1.
If it starts with a hit, everything resets.
This pattern has worked, if not always, then almost always, in my experience.

Yes, there is some kind of formula, I read about it too. And it's not a random number generator, like in poker when dealing cards, but there is some kind of dependency. And the AI always gets lucky.

Based on experience, it's about half.

I can't help but agree with the examples provided, and therefore, the probability assessments. However, I've encountered a distribution of one hit for every two misses (a total of 2 hits out of 4 misses), which allows us to estimate the probability, with some assumptions, as 1/2, but closer to 1/3. To avoid delving into esotericism, it would be best to look at the original source.

I liked the game; Nival did a good job continuing the traditions of 3DO. The spirit of the game remained, and that's the most important thing, which cannot be said about Heroes 4. A good innovation is that you can now upgrade units in two different ways. Also, an interesting dwarf castle with their dwarf runes appeared. Otherwise, it's just the old, good Heroes. I played duels online, and I often chose Ossir or Jaliba; it was fun.

In general, you have to guess; as soon as there's a series of misses, you know to strike with a powerful unit next. And again, spells that deal direct damage never miss – that's another option.

By the way, can anyone explain or provide the formulas for how the total score for a mission/campaign is calculated, which is used in the top 10 leaderboard? It seems that one thing is clear: the longer you play, the fewer points you get, which I think is incorrect.

REFERENCE

1. It is impossible to miss or hit more than 3 times in a row.
2. The hit chance is 50%.
3. Only physical attacks are taken into account (magical attacks ignore this ability).
4. Luck and other factors do not affect the result.

Ethereal
This creature has no body, so any physical attack against it will only succeed 50% of the time.
No more than three misses/hits can be made in a row against an "ethereal" unit; the fourth attack will always hit (after three misses) or miss (after three hits). This counter is shared by all ethereal units.

Incorporeality
This creature has no body, so any physical attack against it will only succeed 50% of the time.
No more than three misses/hits can be made in a row against an "incorporeal" unit; the fourth attack will always hit (after three misses) or miss (after three hits). This counter is shared by all incorporeal units.

That's why I always use magic against them, if possible.

heh.. I'm also at the beginning.. later the need disappears (cave dwellers, succubi, and cerberi can handle it themselves)
and in general, by that time they (ghosts) usually run away (they don't want to fight me)

(Sorry if this is off-topic. I just don't know where else to post this.)
I'm having a problem. After my computer was repaired, I had to download Heroes 5 (Gold Edition) from the internet (the disc doesn't work). After downloading, I noticed that 50% of the music had been changed, and several new maps were added to the map list (English and some of ours, including Ogo's) + a lot of mods, but I deleted them all. The problem is that the game refuses to open single-player and multiplayer maps! It just kicks me back to the desktop.
What's the problem?

Who knows what they broke there... It's better to find another distribution.

Maybe the versions just don't match? For example, you're trying to run maps made for 3.1 on your 3.0 version, etc.?
I have the same downloaded Gold Edition, and I haven't had any similar problems, knock on wood...
