As a offline only player, I find these extremely underwhelming. I understand these make a an impact to low level stacks that have numbers but I don't think these justify an active artifact slot.

Perhaps these should add +1/2 units to your army whenever you're in battle and make the artifact much rarer & valuable?

E.g. if you have an army of 50 pikemen, 20 griffins and 4 angels then these would become 51/52 pikemen, 21/22 griffins and 5/6 angels. This could work in a way where the additional stacks lose health first when attacked and dissapear after battle if no damage was taken.

Hello,

I just downloaded the HoMM3 HD Mod and was wondering if you can use it properly on a 4k Monitor?

I tried a lot of settings, either the window is extremly small (and crip) or big and not crisp at all.

So I recently started playing this game and one thing I always see is that the opponent is always stronger no matter on wich difficulty I play. I always get outnumbered or even when I defeat one hero with a lot of losses on my side, there is always another with so much more units. Even the easiest scenarios are really hard. Any tips?

Hello there guys&gals. Does this game still update. I got the orginal game and the hd one, where do i play, is PvP a big thing? Is there good sites for guides etc. ? Thanks team played the game on and off as a solo relax game since release 🫡🥳

I am currently attempting a somewhat infamous fight of a crusader vs devil, and trying different options. However, devil's behavior in some of the situations perplexes me. I am not a novice in using more obscure tactics, but this is the first time I need to get a flying unit to step on a wall of fire. So, on the pic-1 we have the devil slowed, before it takes a turn. It has no reason going into the wall of fire - crusader will still reach it if it does, devil itself will still need extra 2 turns to get to the crusader if it does, AND the devil will still get damage - and normally AI tries to avoid standing in the wall of fire... except that's exactly what devil does on its turn on pic-2.
So, why does the devil do it? It has no benefit for AI, it doesn't get it in range to hit, it doesn't keep it out of crusader's range. I don't think knowing this will solve this battle for me, but it definitely would expand my knowledge on heroes 3 AI - which would be very welcome, as I found no information on it even in FizMig.

Just a quick thought

New forum follower, old time HOMM3 player. I've searched and hasn't found it. What's YOUR best selection for secondary skills for the campaign heroes like Gelu, Sandro, Crag, etc?

I was in the mood for Heroes and I remembered that I already bought 5 in GOG years ago, so I tried 5.5.

I would love the game, but the AI is cheating so hard even on the lowest setting that it made me drop the game.

I'm not a great player, but I tried playing as efficient as I can, and the enemy heroes are always challenging difficulty, no matter what I do they have so much more creatures than me.

But since I love the general gameplay, I'm thinking about getting this and trying Hota, Wog and all the big mods.

How is the AI in 3? Is it also cheating in every difficulty, or is there a setting for balanced games for average players that are not too easy, not too hard?

Don’t think I’ve seen necromancy pop up for non-necro heroes. Won’t take it, but how interesting

So I've recently bought HoMaM4 off of gog for $2.49. and I can honestly say I can't get enough. It's a little poor in the quality, but the game itself is a masterpiece. Don't get me wrong, it has nothing on heroes, or the classic heroes2 gold. But this game gets way to much hate from everyone for being as awesome as it is.

Please I wanna hear everyone else's opinions on this. This game is underrated.

I am coming to HOMM3 from a long break. I have the Complete version from GoG. Whenever I boot up the game, it's displaying in classic 4:3 aspect ratio. When I was playing before, the game's aspect ratio would be such that it filled my entire 16:9 monitor's screen. I much prefer the way that looked. No matter what setting I try to adjust I can't seem to get HOMM 3 to display widescreen.

Given that HOMM3 was originally a 4:3 game I thought I might be misremembering, but I've tried HOMM2 as well as several of the Chronicles titles and those are all booting straight into widescreen.

Can anyone help me adjust some setting somewhere to get back to a 16:9 display?

Just remembered this meme I made a long time ago for another page

I was wondering what the life expectancy of genies is according to theories. It is said in Thane's lore that he is really old, and that he has been serving Bracada for years, that even the elders don't remember a time without him. So I was wondering if genies could die of old age or if their only way to die is if they get killed.

So.... this happened.

Been playing the SoD campaign. Got past the Sandro one, and on to the big one where all the high level heroes clash. There's 4 missions right at the beginning of the 6th campaign, and you're supposed to transfer over your heroes from previous campaigns.

I recalled (and got a character editor to fix this, don't judge me) that despite what it promises, you don't actually get the heroes as they were per whatever you had at the end of the previous campaigns, you instead get generic level 25 heroes. But when I went to the first new Germ mission, I got Clancy, and..... Elleshar. An Elleshar who doesn't actually have the skill his specialty indicates too. (And I'm missing the 30 grand elves I selected as a starting bonus, but that's a bit less important.

Anyone have any idea how this happened? Fortunately, I've got past saves right before the ends of the campaigns, so I wouldn't lose that much progress, but I'm worried about this happening again. So if anyone has any information, that would be very helpful. And if not, I hope you can at least get some entertainment out of the weirdness.
