IV has better campaings.
I was a long-time fan of IV and recently played through III's campaings. The III campaings were very thing on story, and while the expansions had better story in the maps, some of the campaings were just badly designed. For example the campaing with the fire witch had insanely large maps for seemingly no reason.

By the time I was done with it I didn't even care about the flimsy story anymore.

Most people are turned off of the 7th game.
Some people found a gem but most had never gotten past the technical issues or the lacking presentation due to a shoestring budget.

If you want to try new Heroes, 5 with all expansions and patches is definitely the way to go.

The 6th one is pretty enjoyable and good looking, but it really gets repetitive fast and if you want to play it "seriously," you most likely wouldn't like it.

I'm rediscovering 6 and I actually like it. The amount of options in the tactical combat is pretty impressive, I mean, this game has three different healing types for example. Also, Sanctuary. Sanctuary is kickass. I regret that its chances in H7 are nil compared to Inferno and the dwarves because practically any addition is bound to trigger NOT MUH HEROES.

I guess the online features are silly, but I can see where they were coming from with some of them.

Oh boy the second map is such a clusterfuck with already half a dozen cities right off the bat...

On IV, has anyone played any custom campaigns from the web?
I gave "My brother's keeper" a try and it seemed interesting, inventive at least if rather railroady and more of a savescum-mandatory strategy puzzle solver than a regular game... (up till the point where a late encounter with black paladins left no possible outcome besides Fear-locked death) but the other couple other maps I've tried were just following the trend of cramming the most possible elements onscreen with stupid mix&matching. I remember how for instance Neverwinter Nights' best play value was in a few excellent mods; are there such great maps in the series?

How did you get stuck on final campaign of HoMM2?

It becomes trivial when you know where the Roland/Archibald castle is and rush there immediately if you brought the army from the last mission; then, you can catch him with just week 1 army (he starts with all dwellings in his castle, but only a small populace, like everyone).

If you chose artifact, you'd pretty much have to kill everyone else and grind for castles and get Resurrection and stuff.

Played 7, and i can safely say that, after 3, 5 and (maybe without all the AI issues and bugs) 2 it's the best one.
However, the Ai is WAY dumber than the other games.

5's AI was dumb if you placed secondary heroes in the map or very fast units to lure the enemies, but otherwise it knew damn well how to cripple your army for the next battle.

3's AI is actually pretty legit and smart. The only issue is when you split 2 heroes in the same castle and the AI will consider the strenght of only one of them + can't use berserk, but otherwise it's a perfectly good and challenging AI (on impossible it is a good foe).

7... 7 is just DUMB. Seriously, it will do ANYTHING to just get that flanking bonus, even attack your single units instead of the big stack, or it will chase the closest unit literally forever.

Seriously, the Ai IS a big issue, and the only one keeping 7 from being the 3rd best game. (the bugs can be fixed or aren't that serious anyway)

Well in 7 once you beat the enemy ai main army he is done. And his main army is pretty meh as he does not cheat apparently and keeps loosing units in battle.

No it was fucking not. There were great software engineers working on the first three games who knew how to make a decent AI for a game of the complexity they had. In 4, they had no budget or time to work with proper experts so 4 has a very basic, barely functional AI. 5 had piss poor AI at first but there was one really good AI engineer working on the game (to displeasure of Ubisoft, actually) who attempted to create a decent AI for 5, and it kinda shows.

In 6 and 7 though Ubisoft just hired a bunch of codemonkeys so some simple scripts and artificial resources/growth was all they could produce.

But the AI in Heroes 3 is greater than in any other installment still.

1, while giving birth to the series, was actually too barebones to be anything but shit tier compared to literally every single game after it.

I love 2, but take off your fucking nostalgia goggles and consider it for what it is.
The only thing it has going compared to 3 is the graphic style and (maybe) the campaigns, for the rest it's literally a bare-bones, worst heroes 3.

Heroes 3 is the best hands down, wont spend words on it, we all know why.

4 was shit, neat ideas but terrible realization and graphics.

5 is the second best, it's quite faihful to 3, but it adds an amazing skill-wheel, great towns and decent balance. Less strategic, but definetly a fuckton of fun (and if you haven't played it don't you dare to spout "2 is better durrr")

6 is terrible, glitchy and with horrible ideas (removing "luxury" resources, ncie way to rape your own game you dicks)

>The only thing it has going compared to 3 is the graphic style and (maybe) the campaigns, for the rest it's literally a bare-bones, worst heroes 3.
It's Heroes 3 without all the fat. What was so good that 3 added? 2 new factions? They both sucked, Inferno is agreed by pretty much everybody to be an outsider and Fortress, though it has its gimmick, isn't very much liked either. 3 also removed variety in upgrades and castle lineups and now everyone has flyers and shooters. The tech tree also started to become needlessly convoluted, there were now more useless secondary skills, it just goes to show that sometimes more isn't better.

And fucking up artstyle is a really big thing.

5 skill wheel is so amazing you need a science project just to make sense of how to develop your hero. Great town? More like nice screensavers, shitheads. Their grandiose architecture is disfunctional and frankly stupid, and that was also the game where town lineups started to shift towards one-race approach. And how is it less strategic than 3? If anything, it's actually deeper than 3, with all the new abilities and sidegrades and stuff like that.

>rape your own game
You sound like an edgy 12 year old when you type that out. Tertiary resources play a specific role. Changing them to just one resource in itself isn't good or bad in itself (unless you're an artist that goes on forums to scream NOT MUH HEROES). The game's just as unfinished as 4 was but it definitely stood well by its ideas and the number of options in tactical battle is unmatched by any other entry.

Jesus, how fucking mad are you?
You can't even tell samefagging (check ips, or wait, you don't know how. inb4 "durr i wont bother") and yet there you are spouting buzzwords like "3fag" and "edgy", Stop embarassing youself and speak like a normal person you creep.

Aside from that, are you fucking kidding me about the comparison between 2 and 3?

2 had only 5 slots army and a smaller grid.
3 had 7 slots (so, you know, can use all your creatures instead of just the highest tier ones) and a bigger, hexagonal grid.

GEEZ, I WONDER WHICH ONE IS MORE FUN AND STRATEGIC.

The two additional factions in 3 are great thematically and people like it look-wise, the fact that thety are less competitive than other towns doesn't mean they suck OR aren't liked by the fanbase.

Artsyle i agree, but it's not fucked up. It's just VERY different from the cartoony style, and i prefer the latter as well. Doesn't mean, again, that it sucks.

5's alternate upgrades, while a very welcome addition, are literally a no-brainer choice, given the discrepancy in power.
5's town's development is WAY more organized, balanced and satisfying than 3, and you can't just get tier 7 1st week.

Are you seriously defending 6's mono-luxury resource?
It takes away any town-building resource management, since you just have to conquer as many mines as possile, instead of prioritizing your most needed resource or a particular one for that specific dwelling before week's end.

TL;DR: You nitpick stuff in 3 and 5, but glorify trivial or barebones stuff in 2 and 6 while ignoring that these games also had flaw way deeper than the former games.

that`s not a good thing TBH, a lot of creatures were basically cannon fodder, acted as support or just stood there wasting away turns. The faster you get 7th tier units the less tedious will your progress become.

>5's alternate upgrades, while a very welcome addition, are literally a no-brainer choice, given the discrepancy in power.

upgrading anything but some shooters and 6th/7th tier units is a waste of resources anyways.

which gets tedious as hell in multiplayer and large maps when you have taken over half a dozen dwellings all at different stages of development. I barely upgrade enemy castles anymore or take the time to flag all the mines when playing random maps because that shit is autistic as fuck and will give you carpet tunnel.

I would really love to see them simplify resource management to just gold, because all the resource restrictions do is delay you away from tactics and strategy.

While you are right, you are thinking in terms of competitiveness.
If you, say, get your tier 7 cyclop first week, the progression will not become less tedious, it will become a unilateral stomp, so it will be boring.
By not having all that power soon, conquering stuff on the map requires both preparation and management of lesser tiers, instead of just using two insane tier 7.
>upgrading anything but some shooters and 6th/7th tier units is a waste of resources anyways.
I don't agree on this. While the choice is a no-choice (you can always notice that one upgrade is way better than the other), almost every upgrade adds something either interesting, strong or simply fun.
And for lesser tiers it's very cheap to upgrade, so it's never really a waste.
>which gets tedious as hell in multiplayer and large maps when you have taken over half a dozen dwellings all at different stages of development. I barely upgrade enemy castles anymore or take the time to flag all the mines
You are free to play any way you like, but what you are basically saying here is "i don't want to bother with micro-management".
Which is fine, mind you, but in strategy games (and HOMaM is very simple strategy-wise) you have to deal with it if you want to put that power and those resources to use.
Limiting it to only 1 makes the game literally a one-road way to random fights, instead of town development planning and target prioritizing.
>I would really love to see them simplify resource management to just gold, because all the resource restrictions do is delay you away from tactics and strategy.
If gold was the only resource it'd make tactics and strategy terribly plain, and it'd actually limit the strategies aviable.

As far as I know, you'll only get 5 more tier 2s, not 10, and so forth. Statue doesn't exactly double creature generation, but in a way it adds a third "upgrade" to your castle, for example with Castle you get +2 tier 7s every week, and with Statue it increases to +3. Kinda like how you get +1 tier 7s with a Fort.

Statue's description says that it increases weekly creature generation by 50%. Plus if you have it on a garrison hero, the bonuses provided by the pieces (Legs, Loins, Torso, Arms, Head) are also added.

no difference for your troops or something like that.

However if you look at stat-spreads and likeliness of a secondary skill popping up, the class (race+might or magic) does have an effect. For example tower might heroes are still pretty magicy.

Also your heros movement speed is affected by the speed of your slowest monster. So giving a hero just arch angels and nothing else will make him go lightning fast. While giving a rampart hero dwarves will fuck your speed up. Thats why you should put them in your town early on so you have more speed.

This is the reason why my latest turn in my multiplayer match vs Volodimir started back in 2001. I still haven't decided whether I wanna go Expert Air Magic or Earth Magic. Meanwhile, Volodimir was killed by Russian troops when they invaded Crimea, but for his sake I will finish this turn.

I don't know whether you can get a necro hero if you are playing other factions, but seeming everyone is complaining necromancy (and diplomacy) is the most OP secondary, I would wager it would make a funny game getting Isra day 1. Sure, no amplifier/transformer and it not synergizes with your troops but it could work. Free army until you fill in all the slots and you might just reach critical mass.

To me, HoMM III OST is something I like to go back to when I don't play for a while. Tracks like AI theme, main theme and rampart theme have charm that doesn't fade even after all this years.

Main theme and town themes are perfect but terrain themes aren't that good. They do their job as a nice sound that work well with the terrain you're on but that's it, nothing memorable. My favourite is fortress.

Heroes 2 has the best soundtrack. Not only are main/town themes really fucking good, but terrain themes is where Heroes 2 music really shines to me, especially with swamp, snow and sea theme (which is my favourite from all the Heroes series). It also has the best battle themes.

Heroes 1 music is good for its time I guess aside from barbarian theme which is fucking amazing.

>> No.2761591

>>2761465
I honestly can't see it working. While I like the idea of a superior technological ancient civilization buried underneath fantasy concept; Forge was just a bit too rough for my tastes. It was intended to be an evil-aligned faction, and it looked like utter trash with all the Gyger-esque body mods that in reality would probably just result in ugly recolors. Honestly, the concept art released is hardly any better, if at all, than Conflux. Plus, what would be its gameplay niche? Hard hitting low numbers expensive as fuck units? Isn't that kinda Warlock/Wizard's territory already?

If Forge is to happen, it needs to be sleek and cool. Something like Allagan Empire from FFXIV, or at the very least more like hi-tech stuff from MM3-7.

As it stands, I don't mind that it never happened and the concept needed more polish if it was to be a good playable faction.

Aside from Stronghold and Conflux, which one should i play?

My absolute favourite, but i've played them to death.
>Necropolis
Like it a lotm, but they're insane in XL and OP
>Inferno
This would be challenging but i hate its heroes and how it has only 3 satisfying units

Love this town and its units, but again, the heroes are terrible.

I like this town a lot, but aside from tazar there's no hero i like or find useful (unless there's a decent lizard in either Might or Magic)

The last scenario of both Wizard's Isle and Price of Loyalty are just insane if the opposing magic guilds have dimension door and the computer drops in with hundreds of dragons in late month 2/early month 3.

It can because they did against me. All the Necro has to do is get to a shoreline and then they can get out. The instant I moved past the first border (on the island in the northwest with a Sorceress and Wizard city plus a Sorcerer town) and took the teleport to the main continent, I was greeted by a hero with 150 bone dragons.

This isn't supposed to happen until you finish the main continent and then take the boat over and unlock the red gate.

What would it even work? M&M worlds are an intentional pastiche of fantasy genre cliches, what would it be about? Just some war? Maybe Restoration of Erathia could provide a semi-decent plot but... It's just not the kinda franchise that would work on silver screen at all.

Such riveting magic duel!

Moving the troops around in Heroes 3 adds just about as much as moving your troops inside your party formation does in Disciples 2. Casting spells on the global map in Disciples 2 is extremely deep, as is obtaining resources. The only imbalanced things about it are some oversights (i.e. Undead vs Undead being totally fucked up unless you have the Mage hero) and exponential XP scaling which makes it hard to make a comeback due to the constant snowballing of the winning team, which can be easily fixed by the player due to the accessible and easily editable unit stats.

>> No.2773932

>>2772064
I agree. Disciples is more difficult than Heroes because it puts more emphasis on unit management than economy due to the low number of units you may have at a given time. Battles are very unpredictable and high-risk even when you have fully leveled-up units. Combat is luck-based. You frequently miss attacks whereas in Heroes, you never miss except when using certain magic attacks and the catapult. This makes battles much more predictable in Heroes than in Disciples.

>You should always get a mage hero anyway because they scale far better.
Makes zero difference in most scenario games. Also, Mage Heroes AoE attack is often balanced out by them being incapable of Flying (which is a huge dealbreaker, Flying is extremely cost effective), as only the Demon Mage Lord (and Elf in expansion, which is also their only flyer if I remember correctly) can fly. But even for the Legions of the Damned I'd rather choose the morbidly obese Consults, because they're Flying too and they're the scout hero meaning that they have a massive advantage in movement points compared to other main party leaders, meaning ultimately more XP => higher snowballing effect. In single scenarios, they are simply always going to have the edge. Not to mention other tactical stuff that keeps Mage Lords down - the low initiative and the fact that they have to always attack 6, meaning that on hit effect artifacts are almost worthless on them (i.e. Horn of the Incubus will virtually never petrify anything because the % chance to proc is split by 6 even if there's just one big enemy) and the very low HP means they are easily picked off by the enemy ranged units, which are very often plentiful from the beginning of the game (in example, Imperial Assassins are only level 3 so they often appear in neutral "Human" town/thug stacks, and if there's 2 of them and you don't have another squishy type unit in your army that they would attack first, your Mage Lord is almost guaranteed to die before attacking even once - which is again a much bigger deal, because if your leader dies, your movement is hampered severely, while if a mage type unit dies, you can just walk to the nearest town with ease and revive it there). This also means that you will almost always have to put the Mage leader in the back row, which is another problem, because back row slots are much more precious than front row ones.

It's only really good for campaign to go for the Mage Lord.
