Maybe you won't embarrass yourself and just stick to completing the first mission of the first campaign on the "which buttons do I need to press" difficulty. :)

Play it yourself, Snowball – I enjoy playing against real people more than against a computer loser who only relies on numbers. And you don't need to tell me about the buttons – I've been playing for months.

I don't know... Even at level 30, I didn't have the option to choose a castle for teleportation. Does it even exist in the fifth game?

Regarding playing a game – it's quite possible – just give me time to deal with my entrance exams... And I need to practice a bit more and fully explore all the possibilities of HMM 5... And then we can play:smile13:

Unfortunately, in the fifth game, the distance to the castle is the deciding factor – you teleport to the closest one – there's no choice, unfortunately.
And regarding the game – we'll wait and see)))

Come on, campaigns are good, especially for basic training, but you need a lot of practice to improve, and not against the computer, but against a smart opponent who won't have priests cast evasion on the same unit for 10 turns in a row when I'm already out of archers :D

I always get annoyed that he has a dozen heroes with small armies, and I have to chase them all over the map. I just don't like playing with more than two or three heroes; I prefer to develop one and go all-out.

So, that's what I'm saying – the AI uses quantity! A bunch of small heroes, and either they'll grab a castle (either you take the army from there, or you just don't pay attention...), or they'll snatch a hero... And then you have to run after them like a complete idiot all over the map – chasing down these pests!

I also don't like the speed at which the computer's units reproduce. A Castle might not be able to conquer anything with such a small, weak army, but it can certainly cause trouble in the mines.
And then you have to chase it all over the map...
The computer sometimes exhibits rare stupidity with these small heroes.
Yesterday, I was playing against the computer, and on a high difficulty level. One of these small armies was running away from my main hero at full speed. A portal appeared ahead. I let out a cry, thinking I was about to lose the small unit. But no... The hero, after entering the portal, returned, then entered again, and returned again, and entered again. And it did this for its entire turn.
Why?

Why do they keep appearing and disappearing in the castle gates throughout the turn? In Heroes of Might and Magic III, it looked as if the hero was… well, let’s just say it was a rather inappropriate image. Sorry for being so blunt.

Why?

1. Did you suddenly have 5 heroes?????
2. There are portals with multiple exits, and which work like whirlpools on the Peninsula map (there are 3 whirlpools there... and when you dive in, you can end up in either the 2nd or the 3rd... it's random), so it might just not have been able to exit where it wanted to....

Yes, Snow. They appeared. And a long time ago. Without patches or expansions... but still.
And regarding your assumption about the portal... no. The portal is just a portal. I went there later... There is only one exit. Even though the portal itself is two-way... otherwise, it could be considered a bug.

Are you sure that's the only way out? It's just that the AI usually behaves this way when there are multiple exits, and it keeps "missing." You might have also not hit both exits right away.

No, I've explored the entire map. It's not there...

Or maybe in the Dungeon? Or perhaps the computer just wanted to spend its turn that way... Although, that's strange too, if it was running away from you...

There is no Dungeon. That's why I say it's a specific kind of stupidity, and at a high level. But if there were several exits, then I would agree!
Maybe he just couldn't decide what to do =))))

I don't know... But it seems to me that the AI often has this issue: when it has movement points left, it can't move (well... its thoughts aren't exactly focused... I wonder why? :D). But it often acts stupidly, so there's nothing surprising about it...
