Heroes of Might and Magic V

[Galleleo]

Buying games is wasted money for me.. because I don't play them alot.. like I dled this one, and I'll play it for another 2 weeks tops until I never touch it again. I have like 6 ps2 games I haven't touched in months, almost years.

I had that problem to punk, that splitting up thing. I like the towns tho.

[RATTY...]

2. I like to use 2 or 3 heroes, though only one of them has all of my units when I play. So when I was transfering units, I couldn't split up a group of 50 into 49 and 1, leaving the transport hero with 1. There might be a way around this, though I have not seen it. 3. The navigation in the towns is annoying at times.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the game, by no means is it perfect.

I know nothing about computers, so I can't answer the first.

2. Splitting units has always been shift+click since HOMM 2.

3. You only need the build button, and under it is the button where you can buy all the creatures. The wheel on the left has the other stuff, markedplace, blacksmith, mage guild etc.

It would be horrible if you had to scroll a round in town to look for the buildings, I hope you didn't do that, lol.

HOMM 5 got normal, hard and heroic. Just played on Heroic and it seems like it isn't as hard as the Impossible difficulty in HOMM 3.

I noticed a weird thing, the computer attacked me with crazy amounts of creatures early in game, it shouldn't be possible to have that much that early, either a bug, or the AI cheats :P

Necropolis > all in HOMM 5

500+ skeleton archers in 2-3 weeks. And the ultimate hero skill which gives opponents -6 in morale.

The battlesystem in HOMM 5 is really good, I would say it's prefect. In HOMM 3, a single luck attack or extra morale attack with a strong unit could easily decide the outcome of a battle. Making it frustating when you played against friends.

EDIT: Each hero class got 1 "unique skill", its in the middle of the skill wheel I posted earlier.

sdgfhg buy the game, big sucky company buys small companies since no one buys their game. Big companies make shitty games, but people still buy it. EA games suxxors

I agree with you on this one. Look at EA now, buying everything they're coming over. The only games they make that's worth trying is Fifa, the rest is shit.

I swore there was a button that made unit splitting easier, in the 3rd one at least.

I'm lazy so I like things to be convinient.

Another thing, the videos could've used some moving lips on the characters.

Heroes 3 is a little unbalanced as well because Wizards are the best race in overall and certainly have the strongest units, although they're pretty fuckin expensive. Compare them to elfs or fortress

[pascone]

necro was the best

100+ vampires were good enough

yea i liked necros as well, vampires and dread knights really owned although all the other units kinda sucked ;/

[Skilder]

HOMM 1,2,3,5 rulez! :wub: HOMM 4 = CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!

[Skilder]

I played with necropolis yesterday, and just when I had finished building the dragons cave.. that dude attacked me with arch devils and high numbers of other creatures.. that was impossible.

[Kings]

yo, i've got problems runnig the game. i guess its my graphic card but im not too sure. The graphics are running nicely, its kinda fluid, but my cursor is horrible. It lags all aorund the map, i have to be completly patient with the cursor since it takes time to go where i want it to go and i have to use the arrows to move the map around. It took me about an hour tomake the first map of the first campaign. I tried settings the video options at the lowest but it doesnt change anything. Any ideas?

[PUNK rock]

There's always uninstalling and then reinstalling. Otherwise, try not running any other programs while you're playing. I don't have a problem with the game running slowly, though my computer exceeds the recommended requirements.

HOMM 2 was clearly the best, 3 was also good. B)

Tower is hardly the strongest. Castle can rape them with ease.

I'm talking about the upgraded units, can't remember names.

Pikeman Vs Gremlin
Winner 1st tier = Pikeman, strong cannon fodder, Gremlin may shoot, but dies like a fly.

Archer Vs Gargoyle
Winner 2st tier = Archer, shoots, Gargoyle is trash

Griffin Vs Golem
Winner 3rd tier = Griffin, Golem is slow and shit.

Swordsman Vs Mage
Winner 4th tier = Tie, Awesome damage dealer and a strong shooter. But Swordsman is better

Monk Vs Genie
Winner 5th tier = Monk, can rape anyone at high numbers, Genie is useless

Cavalier Vs Naga
Winner 6th tier = Naga owns everyone, and its the most expensive 6th tier unit in game

Angel Vs Titan
Winner 7th tier = Archangel with resurrect

Tower only got the awesome Naga and Titan, the rest is pretty much useless.

Castle and Dungeon is by far the most balanced and strongest teams in HOMM 3 IMO. But it all comes to invidual skills when you play. But creature/stat wise, they're so much stronger than the other teams.

@ gallesdflsdfsk

You camp too much, run around and kill instead, don't sit in the castle and wait till they come and rape you.

EDIT:

I've been saying that HOOM IV sucks all the time, but the music there is awesome, and there were some new things in that game that were never in the other series.

(Copy and pasted)

Choosing between two creature dwellings - both dwellings can be built only for level 1 creatures, from there up you'll have to make three choices from three pairs of creatures - on levels 2, 3 and 4. This way two towns of the same alignment can be very different.

Heroes participate in combat - barbarian can become a creature-slaying machine, while a powerful mage can become an easy target without combat training. Heroes can be killed in combat. Towns can resurrect them. The enemy can capture defeated heroes and hold them imprisoned. You will then need to capture their town to rescue your hero.

Heroes no longer have attack, defence, spell power and knowledge. Instead they learn primary skills, and then secondary sub-skills. There is great variety of skills that can turn your hero into a powerful battlefield unit, a great mage, a thief who can sneak past creatures on the adventure map, a governor that increases income and population, a general that boosts creatures' fighting abilities, etc.

Towns now bring less income and there isn't a capitol building that generates lots of gold. Fortifications no longer boost creature population. Creature population happens daily rather than weekly.

Creatures can wander the map, collecting resources and items and engaging in battles (but locations such as mines and towns can only be captured if a hero is present). Each creature has separate ratings for speed in combat and travel distance per turn on adventure map. Hero chains are impossible. Caravan structure can be built in towns to bring in reinforcements from other towns and external dwellings - arrival time will depend on distance. Caravans cannot travel blockaded paths. Also there's a neat button that lets you purchase all creatures in a town with one click.

Pikeman Vs Gremlin
Winner 1st tier = Pikeman, strong cannon fodder, Gremlin may shoot, but dies like a fly.

Agreed, gremlins are no match for pikemen one on one. Pikeman is the strongest 1v1 unit, and they own in high numbers. Gremlins can still prove to be worthy thou, especially if they hide inside the castle.

Archer Vs Gargoyle
Winner 2st tier = Archer, shoots, Gargoyle is trash

Gargoyles own Archers one on one; all they have to do is get to them, then the archers are useless. But yes, they are certainly better in team combat.

Griffin Vs Golem
Winner 3rd tier = Griffin, Golem is slow and shit.

Are you fuckin kiddin me? Golems can beat down any units their level and are very effective in a battle because they can tank alot of damage, plus they got what.. 75% magic resistance?

Swordsman Vs Mage
Winner 4th tier = Tie, Awesome damage dealer and a strong shooter. But Swordsman is better

Swordsman can beat any unit his level 1v1 (except vampire of course) because they hit twice and all, but still mages can be alot more valuable team vs team

Monk Vs Genie
Winner 5th tier = Monk, can rape anyone at high numbers, Genie is useless

Monks are complete trash. Worst unit at level 5. They only got 30 life and their damage is 10-12 ROFL. I consider them at level 4. I know they shoot and all, but that is nothing compared to the abilities genie possesses. How can you even compare them to genies who got crazy speed, damage, able to cast spells, and are alot better at team combat?

Cavalier Vs Naga
Winner 6th tier = Naga owns everyone, and its the most expensive 6th tier unit in game

Agreed here. Naga owns anyone their level 1 on 1, but still in team battles dread knights are better.

Angel Vs Titan
Winner 7th tier = Archangel with resurrect

Not at all. Archangel's ressurect is pretty crap, especially if theres little of them. Titans can also have the biggest damage in the game with Bless, and they are immune to mind spells which includes the annoying Blind spell that computer casts all the time.

In addition to all that, Wizards are alot better with magic.

Castle and Dungeon is by far the most balanced and strongest teams in HOMM 3 IMO

In your opinion maybe, but that's way far-fetched. Especially not Dungeon lol, the only good units that come to mind are Black dragons and minotaurs, and yea harpees are annoying as fuk.
