From Heroes 3 Giant maps felt truly giant taking me days to finish taking over from corner to corner ingame like 9 months. In olden era, giant maps feel like an L map on heroes 3 taking 3 months to cover corner to corner
I see a lot of people saying Dungeon is the best faction, how come? I found Schism as the best
Playing Octojebus and the system with the roads feels like the game flyes by in 3 months and AI has army spread out across 5 heroes. Not only do i take them fast, i also take them easy
One thing i miss about heroes 3 is a map taking 8+ months and AI having a huge army when we finally meet for a decisive battle
Schism has a unit giving -50% terrain penalty, and logistics has a subclass that gives -50% aswell. Dors that make it 100% or dont they stack?
Man thats like having the pathfinding skill in heroes 3 or casting fly every round, or finding the boots that remove 100% terrain penalties. From day 1. It increases your movement like crazy, couple that with the logistics hero and you got endgame movement from day 1
Licina? Puczka?
The building that lets you generate more of them. Which one do you think is best? Im leaning towards a mixture of astrology and law points
I always hear that a main hero should stay on the main roads, that the movement penalty is too harsh and that secondary heroes should take over external dwellings and so on
I always pick logistics and the rough terrain sub that removes 50% of the penalty to be able to explore the entire map with my main from corner to corner. There are so many buildings thats giving +1 attack or defence, spell power, knowledge or all four of them. They are never ever just a tile away from the main road
Last game i played Ister the logistics specialist and ended up with every stat between 50-80 because of my playstyle on a giant map. I just cant imagine a game where i just go from town to town, he would have been 10 in each stat and so so weak by the time i get to the last enemy. He was a monster with those stats and the enermy hero was not close.
Like, how does a playstyle like that workout? How does your hero get any stats other than the few leveling up? Does your hero not get too weak endgame? What am i missing or how am i thinking wrong?
I have necromany toggled on the green skull, i have tier 1 units, im fighting tier 1 units, NOTHING IS HAPPENING. There is no number above my hero like others said they have for how many units will be resurrected
Ive tried to understand it but man i feel so slow. I dont get any troops from killing enemies like heroes 3
Played 4 weeks in game.
I know elixir of life in heroes 3 did not, but how about in this game?
3 really strong shooters + Purity aura, nothing twillight can do when you put your Archers next to Apotheosis
Comparing it to Mother Superior and Hydras. Vampire Lord has the stats of a T6 unit, not a T7 one
Heroes 3 had blind + resurrect, magic mirror + archer and finally mass-berserk. I have not managed to find anything like it here where 1 unit can solo an army?
Both lets you learn higher tier spells, so why would you have both?
Ive seen people claim it because how connected everything is on maps but does not makes sense to me as
Its honestly making an archer army better than a melee one
+ 10% archery
+ no range penalty
+ 1 initiative
+ all ranged creatures gain double shot
Holy mother of.. they go faster, they dont have a ranged penalty AND double shots = double the damage
Played a game with Temple when i got it. Ended up splitting my Archangels in two stacks, Sun Herald in two and the Marksmen also in two stacks. Because of the double shot on all of them, i lost no damage in a single stack lol
6 powerstacks of Archers and the tankiest nastiest unit ive seen (Mother Superior) with taunt spell on waiting in the front for anyone who managed to stay alive lol
Did not even bother to buy Cavalry or Griffins after i got it.
Olden Era finally brought some love to Archers and i love it.
