Posts from Heroes of Might and Magic V [Game Discussion]

Ah, I just finished a hotseat game with friends...
It was incredibly unfair, a 1X1X1 game, Might & Magic: Heroes.
Dungeon versus Sylvan and Haven...
At first, everything was going well, but then something bit me on the right heel, and I decided to hoard units. And then, a week of illness:) Half of them died, and I barely managed to take out the Haven castle...
Everything seemed fine, the final battle took place near the Sylvan city (not a siege, but in an open field):
219 assassins, 35 minotaurs, 56 hydras (that's what I was proud of:)) and 15 (ha-ha) furies
(against 97 druids, 32 ents, and about five hundred dryads, plus a dozen elf archers...
No, I understand preserving traditions, but... I don't like weeks:)

It all ended with my defeat, although I almost crushed the Sylvans (I was lucky:)).
Now I have a question: Dark or Light?:):):)

More for the 3rd game! I consider the official expansions!

Yeah, with all the adventures of this Tarnum... :(

Tarnum ruined everything. I hate him! Especially because he's in Heroes of Might and Magic IV, but Gelu isn't!

Can anyone explain this to me: I'm playing with a friend online, I'm playing as Elves, and he's playing as Humans, and it turned out that his 85 archers of level 2 are killing 10 of my dragons. How is that even possible! At first, I thought it was a bug, I restarted the game, but it turns out that all of his 350 crossbowmen take down all of my 19 dragons in one go, and it seems like there's still more to come... it's just ridiculous. Thanks in advance.

In a game against the Sylvan, one simple fact will decide everything. If he finds creatures from your castle on the map, he can use Revenge and will definitely crush the Dungeon. If he doesn't find such creatures on the map... implosion against the elves and the hero.

How long have you been playing? I prefer Might and Magic! Sometimes King's Bounty! So it's good that the maps are small!

I think that if you play on a small map, which you prefer, with three players, for example, you can go to sleep early, without even building a level 6 town, like Andrey.:)

Andrey
No offense, just saying.;)

And here, the whole game is just one big mystery and error, and the strength and difficulty are distributed unevenly.

All your examples didn't cover the highest difficulty level! At that level, there are no resources in the castle's storages at the beginning of the game! With this setup, you can play for a long time on any map, but the question is, HOW long?

No nonsense here; crossbowmen at a range of up to 3 cells completely ignore the target's defense, just like Grim Raiders when charging.

to Master Swordsman: I am more than sure that the enemy hero was much better leveled than yours, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to wreak havoc with archers! This is another confirmation that the hero is the most important thing in Heroes.

to Master Mech: I'm more than sure that the enemy hero was much better leveled than yours, if he could cause so much damage with archers! Another confirmation that in Heroes, the hero is the most important.

No, my defense was higher than his attack. Most likely, it was due to the armor reduction effect.

Yes, this is no longer a game, but a mockery. You won't get any pleasure from the game on "Unreal" difficulty; instead of comprehensively developing your hero and castle, you will be forced to shy away from monsters on the map and pointlessly run around from one to another, looking for easy prey. And after you realize (and this will definitely happen) that there is none, in powerless anger, you will unleash your might (imaginary, of course, because there are no resources, no money, and therefore no troops) on the nearest opponent. Further comments, I think, are unnecessary. But where, tell me, is the pleasure in the game? In crushing weaker opponents in search of resources and further (inevitable) development to conquer lands, on the way to which stronger monsters stand? Where are the final battles with human players, performed in the best traditions of The Lord of the Rings? In my opinion, it's not very pleasant to see an opponent in front of you who has been torn to shreds by monsters on the map while trying to reach your castle. And it's not even that you won't be particularly strong either, because the monsters you encountered are also not pushovers, but that fighting each other, clashing the pitiful handfuls of armies that remain from the former glory, is no longer interesting. It's like watching boxing in the 15th round. All the work has been done for you and against you by the monsters on the map. So, what is the point of Multiplayer then?

Ostap went wild!)))

No, actually, it's all correct. Otherwise, the game won't work. By the way, I tried it, and the opponent wasn't torn to shreds by monsters along the way, no matter how much I wanted it to happen!

And the computer negotiates with them! That's its unique skill! The highest level is really not that interesting!

I wish I had such a unique skill...
