I’ve posted a short video explaining my newest project - Heroes of Might and Magic 1 piano book which is going to contain my own piano arrangements of all the pieces from the game and more.
It’s coming along nicely and I personally can’t wait to have it finished.

This is about baseline HOMM 5, not either of the expansions.

I wanted to try playing Academy, and their time to shine in the campaign comes MUCH later. I'd only just reached the start of the Inferno (second chapter of the campaign), so didn't want to wait.

Anyway, there's about ten or so scenarios and I wanted to play the Academy. Plenty of them had the Academy as one of the teams, but were being played by the computer. I found in the Orc (second) expansion that I could just flip through the player flags as the human player to get the team I wanted, but that doesn't seem to be available in the original.

I found the next to last scenario had the Academy as the human player, so I at least got to play. But still want to experience the few scenarios as whichever team I wanted to play.

A little help, please?

Another battle in the World 4 You map (Giant map that mimics the real world) in HotA.

As someone commented in the video, could have Slow first and then Blind later, but if I do that then enemy will cast Berserk on my AA and trigger a bit more losses in the next turn. I just did several tries and "feel" that this one might have the fewest losses. But anyway, as always said, I'm not an expert, so the battle is not optimized to the max. Just want to have some fun time and share it 😊
