They are easy as fuck to rush for, you can get their building very early

So I think everybody realized by now that a Heroes game is a tough sale as a PVP game since most games basically boil down to a phase of competitive PVE creeping that ends with one of the players critically failing an action, or simply one PVP fight, with no further counterplay, recovery or strategy. Is this simply a product of H3's style of playing the map (i.e. relying on map objects rather than step by step kingdom development) and can something be done about this in the game design at all?

Heroes of Might and Magic/HOMM3 general

How to giid gut? Play multiplayer. AI doesn't play well, it just gets bonuses.

If HoMM /vr/ is interested, we could make a HoMM group and play online on Gameranger?

Here you go. Also, it's not a randomly generated map, only the creatures are.

If everyone is inferno, no one is inferno.

HOMM2:
FHeroes2 (basically a recreation of the heroes 2 engine which allows higher resolution and other options, found it the other day, seems pretty neat)

Got a good map you made (or you managed to get an actually awesome random map)? Or anything else HOMM I-IV related? Share it.

Is it available in american?

Also tell me what to play this time around. Last night I did a luck based inferno from a /v/ suggestion, so today I am looking for something different.

No skellies or inferno.

HOMM3 THREAD
HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC THREE THREAD
BEST HEROES THREAD
OGRES ARE BEST LEVEL 4 EDITION

The most important heroes newbie information is this:

Few 1-4
Several 5-9
Pack 10-19
Lots 20-49
Horde 50-99
Throng 100-249
Swarm 250-499
Zounds 500-999
Legion 1000+

It's from http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes3/movement.shtml where you can get some more info on map movement range and combat speeds, not as important than knowing the number range of the descriptions, though.

You'll have your first successes without losses if you build and recruit your towns ranged units ASAP and only attack slow melee enemies. Splitting your own melee troops into multiple stacks before a battle so they can move to block access to your archer stack can help you against very tough but slow enemy melee enemies like zombies.

Have fun.

Probably marksmen. Great damage, range and come early.

Anyone got a list of good /vr/ turn based strategy games? Or anything that can be played slow paced with just the mouse, for that matter.
