The Hota Factory campaign and the Fiery Riches map just broke me

16 Upvotes

As the title says. I can't beat either one, and after the map "Devil is in the details", I thought I could.

Now it's just ruined Homm3 for me. I don't even wanna open the game anymore, but I miss it.

I also think I need to start over the whole factory campaign because I have no fire magic at all :( After months into the campaign, it's so frustrating.

Any good tips on beating any of these two Homm3 obstacles, so I can finally go back and enjoy Homm3 again?

IK get good, but I feel like I'm not good enough

Question Should I relearn the Game?

13 Upvotes

Hey there fellow players.
Heroes3 is one of my alltime favourite game. In my youth i put in hundreds of hours and if this was not enough. hundred more. and my friends and me we always thought. jeah go solmyr and chain lighting will obliterate everything. but the more videos and guides i see, it seems that also heroes that improve battle capabilites of your units are often chosen in higher difficulties. is this because the people want to challenge themselves or because the balance is not that much on magicians side?
i guess i somewhat never understood the game properly. that would also explain why i was always good in multiplayer mode against my friends... hot seat is still the best mp mode, you cant change my mind :D
and as soon as i play campaign. i really suck and loose.

thanks in advance for your insight.

Did you know? nr. 198 - Monere is the fastest

Monere is the fastest starting hero in the game, beginning with 1,936 movement points—equivalent to 19 tiles in a straight line. ALL: https://heroes3wog.net/did-you-know-second-edition/

He is grateful for such a number of movement points to his fast units (both have speed 7) and the secondary skill Logistic.

Ira the mage map

5 Upvotes

Just started this map and I'm stuck on 10 manticore fight with pink hero called Jaya. It seems like with 5 intelligence and the mana spring to double your mana to 100 its impossible to beat him with only 7 wraith too?

I guess if you never got offered advanced intelligence up until this point you just lose and have yo restart? Seems kind of dumb or am I missing something.

Question Is there a HD mod for Heroes Chronicles?

5 Upvotes

As it is on the HoMM3 engine I was wondering if any of the quality of life updates can work for that game too? I'm less fussed about the graphics than I am being able to recruit units in a couple less clicks.

Give me your favorite maps

10 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations on which scenarios you play that have been most enjoyable, or difficult, particularly when playing against AI opponents. I love PVP, but my time doesn't allow me to sit down long enough to do those, so I'm limited to playing vs AI.

In this second part of the interview, fans will discover which HoMM track holds a special meaning for Paul, whether he had the chance to see the graphical design of the cities in HoMM III before composing their music, and if he tailored the compositions to match their appearance.

We’ll also learn which piece of music from the series he considers the most complex in terms of composition.

I'm not sure if I know how to play

10 Upvotes

So I recently I've started playing and I pretty much suck, I'm playing the campaign and the first scenario is proving to be too tough for me lol, everytime I step outside the first zone an enemy hero ambush me, even if I prepare a proper army the enemy always have 3-4 times the numbers of my units, any help or guide would be appreciated

Been replaying the Shadow of Death campaigns; trying to do them all on Impossible. Fun times.

Got to the one with Yog, on mission 3. Yog has been tasked overall with destroying the Angelic Alliance, because Winston Boragus is a moron. In this particular mission you're supposed to leave 2 of the components with a sage to get the pendant you actually need to technically win the mission.

Week one, I came across and Altar of Sacrifice. I can just destroy the entire thing right now, and all of its components. Of course, you lose if you take the actually permanent way of disassembling this artifact, and fulfilling your new lord's moronic request.

Movement?

Can someone explain to me how 2 heroes, fresh out the tavern can have different movement points? I have here a ranger with 1500 points and a elementalist with around 2000. Got any lead? ( None of them have logistics)

A good PC for the game

Hi all! Did anybody manage to fix the PC move time? After the 2nd month we wait for minutes for the PC to complete his move :/ I have a pretty high end pc, so for sure CPU power or ram is not the issue.

VCMI AI

Hi, I'm wondering which mods on VCMI *actually make the AI a difficult opponent? Even on expert level I feel like the game is challenging but I'm seldom in fear of actually losing against the AI. What have you done to make games against AI more interesting?

Question regarding custom maps!

2 Upvotes

Hello, so when I send the updated (better) version of my map to maps4heroes.com do they upload it as a new map or they replace the already existing one? Meaning will it still display the current downloads/rating/discussions or not?
