No judgement here, I exploit the artifact merchant by re-rolling the new month. I want my golden bow and I want it NOW.

I restart my games many, many times until I get the heroes I want from the tavern and also sometimes in a new week in the middle of the game.

ETA will also restart the week if one or more mystical gardens aren't to my liking. I need the gems!

Do you know about the tavern invite with the HD mod? Or are you restarting to make sure that the other players/computers and the prisons are not taking those heroes?

u/Right-Phalange 29d ago

I don't. I'm still playing original HOMM3, don't remember which edition, but no mods.

Ok so get the HDMod. The one mod that everyone should have. It works with the gog.com version of the game pretty well.

When you launch it, theres a tab for "tweaks". Go there, make sure TavernInvite=1 is set.
Before you select a hero to recruit from the tavern, you can scroll through a list of available heroes below that. When you have one picked out, recruit the first hero in the tavern, go back in, and then the one you selected via the invite will now be ready at the tavern.

I use this to recruit Calid,, Sephinorth, Saurug, Rissa, and Dessa whenever possible. The first 4 heroes each produce a resource every day making them walking mines. Dessa is the only magic hero with logistics as a speacilty. The only downside to dessa is he is more likely to learn attack then intelligence as a secondary skill.

Oh man, I never knew about this.

This seems dangerously cheesy. 🧀

u/livinglitch Conflux 29d ago

It can be. Especially when you do this at the start of every week with the red player advantage to look through all of the heroes that did not get recruited last week and find that one hero that has useful artifacts on them. Ive found some great scrolls and tomes this way.

What is happening here

23

u/will_there_be_snacks Mar 06 '25

Every time she reloads, the spells in that spellbook are randomised. She's repeating this process, holding her PC hostage until it decides to hand over the goods

u/TheGuyFromBG Mar 06 '25

The diversity of HOMM3 is amazing! You can play it in many different ways.

7

u/PlantsnPowerlifting Mar 06 '25

Yes. Many ways to reload a save. Im pretty good at this myself.

u/TheGuyFromBG Mar 06 '25

I used to be good at this back in the day. Unfortunately, after I learned how to play, all my hard-earned knowledge faded away.

u/Skjoett93 Mar 06 '25

And you play Teemo support, so what's your point?

5

u/IonDust Mar 06 '25

Teemo support is goated you can place so many shrooms around objectives.

u/Skjoett93 Mar 06 '25

As long as I'm not on the enemy team, I don't mind!

u/Mummiskogen 29d ago edited 29d ago

Edit: oh nvm, don't go on Reddit just when you wake up, I clearly couldn't see they're listed in the text book, ok thanks
