Regarding the hippos, yes, they are built quickly. But on the 2nd week, it's practically impossible to play at 200% difficulty (we don't play against other players or AI).

Well, I don't know... On a random map, it depends on luck! If you get a rich random map and a mine within reach with not-too-strong guards, it's not that rare! And if you also get crystals as a bonus, it's very possible! ;) (by the way, we also don't play on other difficulties! :rolleyes: )

Tanya, please reply on ICQ. And regarding the hippos, it's not even up for discussion – it's been 2 weeks already.

I don't know. If you set the monster count to 200% and use strong (!!) neutral monsters in the settings, it's almost impossible to build anything. That's how we play.

I don't play as Barbarians very often. I should give it a try. I think it depends more on the availability of free resources here. And capturing a mine with "your" resource... you can, but be careful :D

Well, I don't know... It depends on luck! If you get a good random map with a mine within reach and not too strong guards, it happens quite often! And if you also get crystals as a bonus, it's very realistic! ;) (by the way, we don't do that on other maps either... :rolleyes: )

The Stronghold has a bonus for stone and wood.

Exactly :o :o :o. Sorry, I got it mixed up...
Well, anyway, I still maintain that bears can really be deployed in the 2nd week with a good setup!

Bears can really be deployed on the 7th day... :smile01:
and 2 bears at the beginning of the second week... you can already start bullying someone... :smile08:

it seems like no one is discussing the Dungeon faction anymore. You can certainly win with the Bears on the first week, but you'll face significant financial problems later on, so the most realistic scenario is winning on the second week.

We were just talking about how difficult it is to build up the Eye... because it requires every resource. And someone claimed that it can be built at the beginning of the second week... And as an example, I mentioned the Stronghold and Bears - as proof of how slow the Dungeon is in the early stages (at 200%). The comparison clearly favors the Stronghold!

I always build a Watchtower in the first week; it's not that difficult! Of course, if you're really struggling with resources, you won't be able to build Bear Dens in the second week either, so it still depends on the map.

It's unclear... are we talking about Dungeon or Stronghold? Sometimes you can't even build an Eye on the first week, but you can probably build a Bear Pit on the first week... if you have enough resources.

No eyes are needed at all; you just take a Shakter and have him destroy everything and everyone with his troglodytes (I once observed a legendary, many-time world champion in Heroes 3, Antal, playing – he didn't build anything in his home castle except for upgrading troglodytes; he just went around and destroyed everything with them, and constantly bought heroes for scouting and chaining, and he arrived at his opponent's place with something like a level 17 creature at the beginning of the second week, with horses from two outposts and a portal built along the way from a village to a dungeon – he just took and killed him, even though the opponent had a level 6 creature with a castle).
