I'm in the second map of the first campaign of HoMM3 how the fuck do you deal with those fuckers, just three stacks of 2 each of these fucking things laid out in a row kicks my fucking ass all the time every time and there is one hanging out completely cutting me off and blocking my ability to do fuck all on the second map.
Good luck, they are one of the best units in the game. Their only weakness I think they can't be buffed, but then again they come with their own buffs and curses.

There really isn't anything I can do until I get unicorns? That'll halt my unit production and map expansion so much, just sit around while the AI builds an exponentially in creasing undead army? I'm thinking of just making a bunch of dendroids and dwarf stacks surrounding grand archer stacks and just pelting them hoping my defense lines hold out.
Logan Diaz
just cast spells. also fun fact, black knights and up are cyborgs
Christopher Ward
Taking the time to build up my spells takes away from my much needed army production. I haven't seen any tooltips on units outside heroes though, is there a specific command for that?
Daniel Russell
They are rather frail, OP. Divide your dwarfs and protect your Great elves until they bite the dust. Slow spell will help you greatly, too.
Hudson Jackson
Thanks, my guess that is what I should do was correct that's good. Now I just have to figure out how to deal with the two garrisons loaded to brim of every Necromancer faction unit. But those black knights were the real crutch of my problem, I might restart from the first turn on my save and see how well the second round goes.
Jackson Morris
Enjoy the ride. Remember to get gold over XP in chests, and don't worry too much, that campaign isn't specially hard.
Ryan Rodriguez
Does that really help all that much on a small map? My experience has taught me small map/few towns powerful creatures quicker is more important, and large maps/many towns getting a large income is more important.
Josiah Jenkins
HoMM was a trilogy.
Carson Cooper
No, there were definitely four games.
Jayden Diaz
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that last one.
Carter Jenkins
Daily reminder that normalfags prevented Forge from being put in the game
Gavin Rivera
VCMI
Carter Bell
user the reason they didn't put that in the game is because despite the fact that it would make some sense in the lore, it would still be jarring next to the medieval setting they had. They should have gone with a steampunk style, instead of cyberpunk.
Nathan Clark
Also it would have been OP as fuck compared to every single town and restricted to a campaign only town.
Matthew Sanders
Well it didn't have to be OP, but they would have to do some serious mental gymnastics why even a thousand guys with swords would be able to damage their super advanced space age units.
Hunter Bell
They can be buffed but undead in general can't be buffed with certain spells like Bless (things that in context wouldn't make sense to buff undead). Other spells can buff them though like Haste and other sorts of spells.
Brody Carter
how would a thousand guys with swords be able to damage diamond golems?
Cameron Nelson
Depending on the context of the map or what difficulty you're playing on. On harder difficulties you almost always want the gold as you can usually find a way to reach the level cap with your main hero(es) through combat, though on the first scenario or two 1000 or 1500 experience would generally be enough to help you get up one level. It depends how much of a calculated risk you want to take having your hero buffing your units a bit more at the cost of some gold for unit production, or if you're very close to say leveling up a magic secondary skill you want to get up to Master skill level as soon as you can. Master Earth Magic with the spell Slow in your spellbook will help out your units in combat considerably as it slows every enemy stack and slows them to a crawl so your ranged units can pick away at everything.
Brody Hughes
because diamond is brittle as fuck due to its hardness
Landon Hall
how would a thousand guys with swords be able to damage a ghost dragon?
Brayden Adams
blessed swords or silver alloys
Isaiah Ramirez
Every time your sword swings through a ghost you're reminding it that it doesn't belong here. Maybe, for a ghost dragon, combat is about coming to terms with its situation.
Jack Johnson
A thousand guys with swords would make the ghost dragon feel inadequate, and thus dissipate.
Leo Smith
10/10 city right there it's like i'm playing WH40k
Thomas Johnson
looks like shit
Christian Bennett
thats some deep shit user
Eli Adams
Posting to say I finally got it, thanks for those who gave me advice.
Aaron Gonzalez
Wow that took forever. Well congratulations anyways. Trust me, you are going to see a lot of that. And not just from the necromancers.
Bentley Long
I only had a fraction of the day available for vidya.
Cameron Phillips

So how does alignment work, is this race based or faction based? I noticed some races that I figured would've worked well together give each other penalties.
Jace Torres
Prayer works.
Isaac Taylor
In terms of the effect it has on morale each town type is its own alignment. You can't mix creatures of different towns without getting a penalty, even if it's something like Castle/Rampart who you'd think would ally. One of the reasons Leadership can be a pretty decent skill, that bonus morale helps you mix and match troops.
Adam Roberts
actually its because they were sent death threats
Brayden Robinson
y-yeah…normalfags….
Jacob Young
upgrade dendroids, root them in place. Use slow, curse, can`t remeber if the can be blinded. Focus them with everything, start with some 1 stack to absorb the counter attack.
Luke Hill
instead we got conflux with dryad asses. i cant complain.
Isaiah Hughes
dryad asses? the fairies?
Isaac Edwards
yeah, im not playing english version. also phoenixes are amaziing. potentially most numerous final unit with highest speed in the game. and magic elementals
Angel Cox
i like the fairy asses in 5
Alexander Rogers
What's the general opinion on Wake of Gods and Horn of the Abyss? I'm looking to game me some heroes over winter break, had those on the back burner. Yay or nay?
Jose Sullivan
HotA is more or less vanilla+. New town, some balance changes, much better random map logic. Good mod if you're looking for quality over quantity. WoG is the opposite. Has tons of options and you choose what you want enabled before each game. Changes go from balance, to making skills work differently, replacing map features with new ones, or insane gimmicks like reverse stats. It's ugly and also not that stable. Basically a soup mod.
It depends on what difficulty you're playing and what skills you took in the first scenario. Just go and fight the vampires instead tbh, they're way easier. Generally though, divide centaurs into stacks of 1 to fill all spots and put them as body blocks for your grand elves. If you have archery, then just upgrade elves asap and mass them, try to lose 0 until you attack an enemy castle or fight a strong enemy hero (or fight dragons or something that has 1st strike).
Get HD mod by the way if you havent already.
It is on impossible. The writing is also piss poor, muh stronk independent snarky womyn that trashtalks experienced generals because she's so snarky.
Alexander Smith
no face for you
Daniel Hughes
Holy shit what are the odds?
Joshua Sullivan
1 in 6 million
at that point, 1 month ago, I didn't know that hero movespeed is determined by army speed. I just played scenarios my whole life, never cared for anything. I didn't even know what a "random scenario/map" feature does They were meatshields.
Henry Price

Evan Edwards
The odds are that you should go back to cuckchan
Jordan Roberts
more like one out of all the mummy's little hacka'
now that's an irony, my downwoting dude why doesn't you apply it to yourself?
Levi Hughes
You mean what a beautiful movie right
Sebastian Gray
Yes and the only reason Lost Levels is difficult is because it has gravity. The fuck is the purpose of saying this?
Matthew Martin

Robert Collins
You are the 18th guy in this thread. How does it feel to be so stupid that 17 people before you figured out what the door stands for?
Jose Fisher
