Back then, at least someone could agree with me that there's no point in manually finishing a battle when, at the point of repetition, it's already clear that your troops will suffer NO losses in health or resources, while the enemy will simply die VERY SLOWLY and take a LONG TIME, and you'll be quickly and repeatedly hitting the keyboard and breaking the mouse buttons.

I've been supporting you for a long time, but it's also worth modifying the point about saving before leveling up (read: before the end of the battle). If you're developing 1-2 branches, you'll definitely get what you need. And why create unnecessary saves?

Some players just can't seem to manage it. But it would be nice if they could. Because some players who can't download are in the same clan as me. I understand they are online players, but it won't hurt them to watch.

Too bad I wasn't accepted into your clan:smile32: (maybe I should have waited longer). Oh well, I'll learn to play offline and try again:smile13:.

FINALLY downloaded it. There's so much to learn, and I'll figure it all

I checked the most important thing – the center on the left can indeed be reached with a detour. Even with the game I had planned, it gave me a result of about 12 days... WITHOUT battles until the final one... interesting.

I also, after hearing about the detour, figured out how to clear it in 7-8 days. Then I had ideas for 5-6 days, but then Axe deleted the saves...
As you know, history doesn't allow for hypothetical scenarios.

I don't quite agree. Saving before leveling up can make things easier for the person being tested. But there's no need to save before the end of the battle. Because even from the middle (read, from the moment of the loop), you can check if a particular skill was available to be acquired. That is, from the save at the moment of the loop, you can enter nwcAres and see what skills you CAN get. If you are developing one or two branches, then I agree that you will get one of the skills from that branch, but the point is that even within one branch, there are certain dependencies between skills. Look at the skill development schemes - I'll post them now. In these schemes, I think there are even errors, although I took them from magazines, so just in case, it's better to have a save before getting new skills, and even when getting skills from one line, it's not superfluous to have saves. Don't think that you will be asked for all these saves. And it's not very difficult to keep them for some time after the tournament. I periodically move saves from the game to other directories so that the game directory is relatively free.

It's a pity that I wasn't accepted into your clan:smile32: (maybe I should have waited longer). Okay, I'll learn to play offline, I'll try again:smile13:

I don't understand why you weren't accepted? Which clan did you join? :)

I checked the most important thing - the center on the left can indeed be passed with a detachment. Even with the game that I planned for myself, it gave me a result of about 12 days... WITHOUT battles until the final... funny

Then you could have lost to your opponent on points. There should also be battles with the guards of neutral fortresses on the orange side.

I also, after hearing about the detachment, realized how to pass it in 7-8 days. Then I had thoughts about 5-6, and then Axe deleted the saves...

And now I will add a brief description and skill development schemes. Be sure to download the schemes. I repeat once again that it seems to me that there are errors there, but still, in general, everything is correct there. Why there are errors. Sometimes it seems that I can get a skill based on the scheme, but it doesn't work. But I don't remember on which of the schemes this happened. In general, everything is correct there. They help me when I'm playing.

Question for those in the know.
What types of Heroes of Might and Magic IV actually exist? I mean different versions, patches, and so on.
Thank you in advance.

There are a total of two expansions (official) for the fourth installment of the Heroes series. These are Gathering Storm and Wind of War. Patches exist for them, allowing the game to run on Windows XP. In addition, there is an unofficial expansion called Equilibrius. It features a rebalanced game and many other changes. There are also several campaign expansions, such as Brotherhood of the Ring, Alexander, Chariot of Destiny, and others.

There are patches available for them that allow you to run the game on Windows XP.

So, there are patches for Whirlwinds?

AlexeyPank;99796

There are patches available for them that allow you to run the game on Windows XP.

So, by default, it's impossible?

At least, in my case, it wouldn't run without the patches. But now it comes without the discs, that's the weird thing. Although the patches are for the licensed version, from Buka.

I have the base game of Heroes IV in Polish, and the expansions in English. Everything would be fine, but the base game campaigns don't work – they kick me back to the system menu. But the expansion campaigns work.

Don't waste your time with nonsense. Go to a specialized store or department, buy three game discs there, and if you don't find what you need right away, order it – they'll deliver it. Everything will work perfectly under XP and Vista. And you'll be happy.

Don't bother with nonsense. Go to a specialized store or department, buy three "Heroes" game discs there, and if you don't find what you need right away, order it, and they'll deliver it. Everything will work perfectly on XP and Vista. And you'll be happy.

I don't know anything about such stores – probably we don't have them.
Secondly, the "Heroes" discs are most likely in Russian – I don't like that.
I think it's easier to download everything from the internet.
Just tell me what the latest version is? 3.0

Not a single one in all of Krasnodar? I don't believe it, you most likely didn't look.

Of course they are in Russian

And you shouldn't. The translation there is normal, you get used to it quickly. Clunky translations are for pirated copies, which created the opinion that English is somehow cooler.

A very debatable statement. As for me, I ended up buying for stage 4 and saved a ton of time.

Seems to be 3.0. They play on it (or on Equilibrist).

But it's a shame. The translation there is decent, and you get used to it quickly. As for the poor translation, that's about pirated versions, which is why the impression arose that everything is better in English.

I'm not saying anything about the quality of the translation. I just don't like this particular translation. Did you notice that "Breath of Death" and "Platinum" in Heroes 3 are translated differently, even though they are essentially the same thing??? At least in English, it's consistent with the original.
