Also Rampart. Just imagine living in any of the towns in this game is awesome though.

[Anonymous No.902357]

i dont really would like to live in the inferno/necroplis cities to much. castle is a bit boring in that matter but living in a rampart/stronghold or perhaps conflux town always seemed cool to me.

[Anonymous No.902464]

and how about your favurite units of each tier/town? it doesnt have to be the strongest just personal taste ( if it is actually strong, then let it be)

tier1 Centaur Captains
tier2 Wolf Raider
tier3 Evil Eye
tier4 Crusader
tier5 Minotaur Kings
tier6 Dread Knights
tier7 Ancient Behemoths

favourite spell would be implosion i guess

[Anonymous No.902710]

these days I think the mage tower looks so out of place in this environment.

a druid's grove similar to what stonehenge looks like would have been more convenient. it would gain and additional stone ring with every upgrade level or something.

The design principle of mage guilds is that they build upwards.

>god tier archery

Having a single ranged unit isnt that god tier. Sure they shoot twice but thats really about it

Try playing Tower with a hero with archery specialization. Suddenly those master gremlins, magi and titans are complete destroyers.

[Anonymous No.902736]

>>902720
well, I know that but they also could have thought about something different for every town keeping all the mage classes in mind.

which druid owns a fucking tower? except for pseudo-druid Lakmir from Shadowgate of course.

I think flee should be re-made so that at whoever flees give the opponent an entire turn without any control on their own part.

Then you can throw shit like mass haste or whatever and at least hit some stuff.

It's a double edged sword and it can easily act against you if you fuck up the battle.

>>910091
Hydras are cool (except when berserked), but they are slow and therefore not useful enough.

Mighty Gorgons however.... unless the opponent manages to 1 shot kill them for no retaliation, his attacker is fucked in some way. Fucking death stare works practically all the time against stronger creatures.

on a serious note though: it doesn't fit the tone of the game. Tower are supposed to be the most technical advanced faction. they lay mines and their gremlins know a fuckton as well as all those alchemists about warmachines. would be pretty weird and out of place if that Forge town was part of it today.

Most of the time, if I have 2000 gold or 1500 experience I choose experience, if 1000 gold and 500 experience I choose gold. But as >>910230 said, really depends what you want to do. Many times that shit allowed me to either build Capitol turn faster or level up and learn necessary skill.

Question - if an enemy hero digs up Grail, and I defeat him, do I get the Grail or is it forever lost? Today I was playing a map, found out all obelisks, I go to the place where Grail should be and I only find giant hole in the ground. I captured all towns, there was no Grail building.

[Anonymous No.911787]

>>911608
Pretty sure you just get along with the other artifacts won from the hero.

The only way it can be lost is if the hero gets lost - beaten from neutrals, retreated but not re-recruited from the tavern, or belonged to a kingdom that had no towns for a week. And even then, there is a small chance it'll turn up again in the tavern.

normally I'd say casters but the melee heroes are so much more handy.

If I remember correctly, none of the magefags have logistics or similar gotta go fast feats. tactics might be handy too because they reach shooters faster that way before any damage is done.

that can't be.
it's like this:

Male Warrior Heroes = Male sprite for overmap, Male character model for battles

[Anonymous No.919646]

>>919642
or just f.e.:

Male Necromancer = Female Overmap Sprite (hooded skeleton), but Male Sprite in Battles (Death Knight with Black Armor)

Female Necromancer = Female Overmap Sprite, Female Sprite in Battles (skeleton again)

see a pattern? I know it's pretty weird but that's how it is.

No. That is wrong. Gold is a scarce ressource early in the game, but in the late game it usually isn't enough to gain you one additional level 7 creature which are likely to die at one point or another.

not really, by then you have a doomstack that will ravage most neutral creatures for free XP

especially late game, where you can get a lvl 1 hero to lvl 16 in no time by giving him accumilated creatures in some town and sending him for a walk on neutral creatures.

what's really going to boost your killing powers are the artifacts and +1 to attack/defence places.
