Hey man, I've been watching your videos bit by bit and I totally love them. Been playing HoMM for a looooong time now (with only about 30mins total against other people, and only watched your stuff online...)

If you ever feel like having even more of a challenge, try my "Xenophobic Supremacy" rules I've been playing every now and then for the past few years.
Go 200% 1v7 XL+U where you are one town type, and the opponents are other town types. You are only allowed to recruit in your type of towns and in external dwellings (including dragonfly hives and such).
-When I want it slightly easier I make 1-2 of the computers the same town type as me
-Generally I'd do a 3 and 4 split (both different to mine)
-When feeling particularly brave, make all of them the same type
-In terms of alliances I usually just go FFA, but you can also ally based on town type
-One way of making it slightly easier is to allow the purchasing of units from any town as long as you sack them straight away (maybe even allowing use of a Skeleton Transformer or Freelancers Guild as long as you don't attack with any unit)

Overall it puts a new spin on the game where suddenly there are only two things that are still OP, the first being necromancy, and then to a lesser extend diplomacy. You can Crag Hack or Castle, you can Fly until your lungs collapse, you can Dimension Door to your heart's content, but when those rich bastards walk into one of their towns you've been holding hostage for a month or two and buy up all those units, then you're in a lot of trouble.

Few tips for anyone else in the comments wanting to try it: Necropolis is a good first attempt town. If not using Necromancy or Diplomacy, Dungeon is my recommendation with Gunnar, Portal of Summoning, and Artifact Merchants. DON'T underestimate the value of certain combination artifacts, keep your eyes peeled for their parts; they will save your life.

castle best faction in the game!

easy to play and understand, castle is just rocksolid or even great on every level. they are good in every phase of the game and have answers to virtually everything. if it wasn't for cheating necro and "who balanced this crap? conflux, castle would be easily the strongest faction in the game.

pikemen are a great tier 1 unit, only really beaten by centaurs in terms of combat strength, though they are really close to each other. having no gimmicks and jsut solid stats though, you won't be able to use them in too many exciting ways outside of the early game. marksmen are the best tier 2 unit except for storm elementals, and the comparison between the 2 in terms of damage is fairly close. double shot is an amazing ability, and their high numbers mean competent damage even in the lategame, something most tier 2 units can't say of themselves. they are squishy though, and turrets and ai controlled creatures LOVE killing them over anything else. a worthwhile unit to have around.

gryphons are a cool unit, decently mobile and fairly tanky they make very good units for both backline defending and backline harassment. endless retaliation is a great thing to have for either of those jobs. they are fairly expensive though and lack damageoutput to be used often outside of the early and midgame, if at all. i like them, but in the end tier 3 is jsut the awkward cut off point between good early game unit and good midgame unit, so fitting them into armies might be difficult.

swordsmen suck. they are slow, hve only mdiocre damage and are expensive. tanky though. on the other hand, crusaders are AMAZING. the only tier 4 unit besides vampire lords to be able to fight alongside the big guys like angels and dragons, their damage output is downright insane, and they are tanky enough to withstand a blow to be able to put that damage to use. they are still slow, but that's a downside anyone should be willing to take for this unit!

monks are weak, 30 hp is not anywhere near enough for a tier 5, and their damageoutput is fairly poor aswell. really the only bad unit in castle.

cavaliers and champions are my favourite unit in the homm series. i love knights and they are the most knightly knights ever. they are strong, decently fast and fairly tanky. they aren't as good as DKs or naga queens, but are coming in at third place. they are an all around well balanced unit that does nothing spectacularly out of this world, but does that very, very good.

angels and archangels are probably the best tier 7 unit in the game, and only phoenixes with their increased growthrate can best them. their consistent damage, unreasonably high stats, good lifepoints and enormous mobility are already enough to make anyone want them on their side. that is when you realze they also have the ability to revive other creatures AND increase the moral of your army by 1, meaning ANGELS CAN BE INCLUDED IN ANY ARMY FOR BASICALLY FREE!!!! and not only that, but also all the other great castle units can be included with basically no moral penalty. arch angels are deservedly the mascot unit of homm 3, they are jsut that good. expensive, but unlike black dragons and titans i can wholeheartedly say they are worth een more than their pricepoint suggests.

Hello again! On the contrary, I do make an effort to sift through all of the new comments that I get and reply whenever I can. So yes, I actually did end up reading your comment, as you can tell by this response ;)

First of all, I appreciate you taking the time to write up a long, well-thought-out comment with some kind words of encouragement for me. Indeed, as a content creator, receiving comments like these is always a welcome occurrence and makes me feel glad that I have such a supportive community!

There's no need to feel bad for me receiving dislikes on my videos. Some viewers will inevitably end up disliking videos for one reason or another, or even for no reason at all – that's just the nature of any YouTube channel, really. What we should really be looking at is whether or not these people have constructive criticism to share, because if they do, then as content creators we can find our mistakes and learn from them. For me, audio issues fit into this category of "constructive criticism" too. Learning from what we've done in the past and improving upon it matters far more than the number of people who arbitrarily dislike your videos for whatever reason.

You're definitely not the only one who likes listening to my videos as background noise, so no offense taken! I upload videos for people to enjoy them, and if your version of enjoying my content is falling asleep to my voice, then that's perfectly fine with me. As it stands, I'm impressed that you even watch my videos to begin with if you actually know nothing about the game :P

I'm not sure what kind of "poison" you're expecting my mind to experience from saying that I deserve more subscribers, but I can assure you that while I do respect your opinion on the matter, my attitude towards making videos probably won't change as a result of it. Right now, my sub count is the least of my concerns – I make these videos for fun, people enjoy them, and that's good enough for me. It's nice to hear that you find my explanations about the game adequate!

Anyway, thank you for taking the time to reach out to me! I hope you enjoy the videos to come!

Hey Mekicks!
I know you probably won’t read this but I thought I’d write you a little thank you message for all the content you’re putting out. I’ve been meaning to reach out to you for a very long time, because I’ve seen a couple of months ago that some people disliked your videos and it made me feel bad because I’m kind of a content creator myself. I am nowhere near your size as I mostly only get 10 views per video, but still, I don’t have to be a popular Youtuber to know that even just commentating is so much effort.

Even if you don’t edit/render your videos but just talk for an hour then upload, it’s very draining and when literally no one is watching your content it’s de-motivating as fuck. Let alone getting dislikes from stupid people for no reason. In your case you have a great fan base so you are probably motivated in that regard, and fuck the haters. They might have disliked because of sharp volume increases in the video, so it doesn’t even count.

Recently I’ve been watching your videos mostly as background noise whilst playing WoW or to fall asleep, but don’t take that as an insult, I think that’s actually a compliment. The only reason I don’t watch your videos more is just because I know nothing about the game. It would be cool to have a completely “n00b, literally day 0 how to play Heroes 3” video, but I’m not sure how much of your fan base is a pro at the game. It’s funny because sometimes you make a mistake and you freak out, but I honestly can’t tell what’s happening so it’s okay haha

Honestly, someone like you deserves more subscribers, but I’m reluctant to say this as I know how much it can poison your mind & attitude towards making videos. You explain things really well, and have a natural tendency to teach people about the game. Most other “pro” players would just stay silent for 5 hours straight.

So yeah, heads up man. There will always be rude people on Youtube, people who just sort of tune out and watch videos, but you have a lots of great fans as well! Watching the Small Map 1v7 so gotta continue. See you! :)

With Caitlin, the Gold specialty is especially helpful early on when trying to build up your starting army. Regarding why I've seen competitive players start off with Caitlin, I presume that there are two main issues regarding Knight heroes:

1. Knights lack good starting secondary skills/specialties. Castle has no Tier 1 unit specialists for a significant army boost early on (i.e. a Shakti equivalent), and no Castle heroes that have a Secondary Skill specialty (i.e. Offense or Logistics) that scale well into the late game. Orrin would be the one notable exception to this with his Archery specialty, but even then your army's main damage output would still probably come from melee units like Angels and Crusaders. Wyverns, since they are often farmed in PvP from Dragon Fly Hives, fit under the melee category too.

As you pointed out, because all Knight heroes start off with Leadership, you get a "wasted slot" on your starting hero. The other worthwhile Secondary Skill on Knight heroes can be Artillery, Armorer, Archery, Offense, or Tactics which aren't bad. But if you can access a hero that starts with two "good" Secondary Skills (Tyraxor) instead of one, or even a "good" specialty (Gunnar), then why wouldn't you?

2. The other issue is sub-par Secondary Skill development (see http://heroes.thelazy.net/wiki/Knight). Among combat Secondary Skills, Knights have the highest chance of learning Leadership and among magic-based Secondary Skills, Knights have a much greater chance of learning Water than the other schools of magic. Knights are less likely to be offered Offense, Armorer, Tactics, and Logistics than Overlords and Barbarians, which has (especially from my experience) led to some pretty awkward Secondary Skill choices, like "Ballistics or Navigation", more often than not.

Now, moving onto schools of magic. While Water can be useful for Bless and Cure early on, it does not benefit Slow and Haste (arguably important spells for the entirety of the match) at all, nor is Water useful for the crucial Adventure Map-based spells like Dimension Door (Air) or Town Portal (Earth). In fact, Earth Magic is half as likely to be obtained on level-up as Water Magic, which is a pretty big problem considering how useful Earth spells become later on. While a Mage Guild Level 5 can't be built in a Castle for DD/Fly/Implosion, the level 5 spells are often accessible in random maps via Spellbinder's Hat, Angel Wings, Tome of Air/Earth Magic, spell scrolls or Mage Guilds in other towns.

I think it is also worth pointing out that when you purchase a Mage Guild Level 4, your odds of getting Prayer (20%) is double the odds of getting Clone (10%), and the same odds as getting Resurrection (20%) or Town Portal (20%).

I could keep going, but I think this paints a general idea as to why Knights are less desirable over other hero classes. Clerics are even worse off in hero development (i.e. 10/112 chance to get First Aid upon leveling up).

"Oh wow morale was actually useful" -- MeKick after the 100th time morale has been useful

Vaginaattori

@Cyryl With max morale i get an extra attack every combat round on average. That's a significant advantage. Max luck is good too, & seems to activate a bit more often.

Cyryl

4y↑3

Late to the party, but was curious about what morale does as I was reading the comments (as the video began).. so I googled it... and damn... lowest morale is 25% to not act, but highest is only 12.5% for bonus attack... I guess it's still good to have it, but no particular reason to seek it. (though, you certainly need to avoid going into negative)

Have really enjoyed watching all your 1v7 FFA playthroughs. Would love it if you made more, including Cove and maybe a replay of Fortress?

TK_125

Thank you MeKick for this :-) I've been watching your videos for a month now, I quite enjoy your content. This is nostalgic for me as well. I was three years old when HoMM III came out and some of my earliest memories are watching my father play it on that old CRT monitor. When I got a bit older we'd play together sometimes, he'd always play as Dungeon and I'd always play as Castle. I wasn't too good at it, but we've had loads of fun. Watching your videos and playing this game throughout the years I've learned quite a lot of tricks and tactics so hopefully next time I'll be the winner :D keep up the good work, have fun :-)

Tyler Bennett

Excellent video as always. My 3rd favourite faction with my 2nd favourite tier 7 unit. And ARTIFACTS! I love seeing the combination artifacts, so thank you for that (and the effort you put into trying to get the Grail).

I recommend your videos to anyone I know that has an interest in Homm3.

I know these videos are old, but keep up the good work

I would love to see more special maps along the same lines of pestilence lake or Brave new world. Doing a map like maelstorm would be awesome

TheKnownWorld

Thanks for the feedback! Perhaps in the future, I’ll play more scenarios that have a “classic” feel to them. At the moment however, my hands are already tied with random maps and challenge scenarios, so I don’t have plans to do so anytime soon. I’ve heard of Maelstrom, but so far I haven’t given it a shot myself.

MiniHazard

The first (real) game I've ever played was HoMM3. I have played it on and of for, at least, 15 years (probably more). Just watching you play this is like discovering a new game. Even though I've played this for so many years I still suck at it because I only played it so casually and not in long periods of time. Thanks for really nice gameplay and commentary - I will subscribe and I am looking forward for your new videos!

Countryasian92

Finally a Grail video! I've been watching/listening your videos for the past 2 weeks while at work. I really enjoy watching ya play. I have Heroes 3 for my laptop but never could get the hang of it. Curious of how ya could set up a match where ya could get all factions/max troop in an army, probably would take a very large map and a lot of time, but would be interesting to watch ya decimate everything; like a full 100% cleared map game. But thanks again!

TheKnownWorld

Haha, a Grail video indeed! At least, I think this was the match where I dug up the Grail. Hmm, I can't remember anymore.

Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying my content! I don't intend to do a match where I clear the entire map, but in my Diplomacy 1v7 video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Os25Sa243A) I used Diplomacy to farm big stacks on the map (which would be akin to having "max troops in an army"). Perhaps that match would be of interest to you?

Hi MeKick. Your tutorial videos are great, but always full of restrictions (challenges are separate chapter). Could you consider to do an XLU 1vs7 run as best as possible, without any restrictions? Take any town you want, use also other factions after you beat them, use dimension door and town portal... The aim is to get the best possible score (grail needed).

TheKnownWorld

5y↑1

Hello! I don't consider these faction playthroughs as "tutorials", but I'm glad you find them informative nonetheless :)

Regarding your request for a match without rules, there's a specific approach I had in mind for how I would play such a match. However, with various other video ideas I still have to get through first, I don't want to showcase it at this time. In the far future after I'm doing all the challenges I want to I'll consider doing No Rules. Cheers!

Tomsa

Amazing series, thanks! One question: can you make the cursor a bit bigger or more visible?

TheKnownWorld

Thank you! To be honest I'd love to make the cursor bigger. However, my recording program just naturally makes it that small and I have no clue how to fix it (and there's a lack of technical support as well). Sorry about that! :(

Dex Soulslaughterer

Nice to see a Castle LP. I struggle with this faction especially at the beginning, though they really kick asses later on with Arch Angels. Just a question off topic: Did you play the campaigns of HoMM 3? If so, which ones? Maybe all? I thought that they were somehow harder (I only played the first three of Restauration of Erathia).

I'm glad you're enjoying the video! To be honest, I find that Castle has a pretty solid start thanks to their Marksmen. But like you said, Castle's late game is remarkable thanks to their Archangels.

So far, I've played the Restoration of Erathia and Armageddon's Blade campaigns in Heroes III. For years, I've saved the Shadow of Death campaign for a rainy day, but said day has not yet come. At some point in the future, I may consider making videos for all three campaigns.

You need to get crAnim.txt (from heroesportal.net/getfile.php?file=/files/information/16/Cranim.txt) and add it to the Data folder of your Heroes III directory.

Jack Sage-Phoenix

To answer your question long after the fact, I like watching the fights where the AI doesn't think you're going to win, or ones you think might be interesting or any fight where you have a trick to show us. Those are the ones I personally like to watch, so I wouldn't mind at all if you skipped fights that are obviously in your favor. But I mean they're your vids, I'm cool with whatever ^_^

TheKnownWorld

Hello, and thank you for the feedback! This is what I would consider very valid reasoning, and the same line of thinking I have in these matters. In some of these fights, I question why I would play it out when I know that the fight itself is trivial. But apparently some people want to watch the fights regardless...?

Cheers!

artman40

I wish there was more to do with resources in that late game. Also, a lot of offensive spells lose their importance as units are amassed.

TheKnownWorld

7y↑2

I agree to a certain extent. Resources can be useful in the late game if you're trying to get specific spells from Mage Guilds (i.e. DD/Fly), but I have my unwritten rules of not using many such spells even if I have access to them during my AI videos.

Also, a lot of offensive spells do fall off, but that's to be expected considering the element of progression -- in other words, the longer a game lasts for, the more access you have to the stronger spells (which, understandably, lessens the use for the early-game spells).

I've never played with the HD mod, and never bothered to check the templates. I've definitely had some really strange games, where I've checked the tavern on day 1 and two NPCs are 1st on number of towns, 3 NPCs are 2nd, and then there's me with the rest who have 1 town. Then there's starting with level 5 or 10 characters.
There's also a few really messed up templates (one especially that has narrow, very long paths usually with teleporters on either side), but I don't even know the names so it's hard to discuss them online.

I usually just play whatever hand the game has dealt and roll with it. Life isn't fair or that sort of stuff, and since it's not vs other players then it doesn't need to be. At the end of the day it's a solo experience for me, and if the game decides to throw a unique campaign my way then I'll be glad to play it :D

By far my least favourite is probably when the game decides to wall off a chunk of my starting area, eg an ore mine.

Oh by the way, have you been locked into your castle by some super strong monster stack in any of your playthroughs on YouTube? Something that has seriously hindered your start? I'd love to see how you go about handling a handicap of that sort on top of the usual 1v7 200%. I've had a few (impossible?) games where I definitely feel like it would have taken me at least a month or two to even reach my ore mine that I could see from my town.

TheKnownWorld

To be honest, you've asked a really good question and I'm not entirely sure how to answer it. There are several factors to consider here. For one, I wouldn't know how to define "how much of an impact" choosing a template makes on the match. What would the "amount" be, in this case?

I generally opt to pick templates that I see getting used in competitive Heroes III matches since I'd like to think that they wouldn't be broken in terms of functionality. From my experience, if I don't choose a template, some of the templates that the game will use instead (i.e. Ring and Meeting in Muzgob) have rather interesting and imbalanced map structures. I'm not going to elaborate on this too much, but I've seen things like one AI player getting completely isolated from the rest of the map or one player starting off with multiple towns. Very strange, indeed.

Of course, the main drawback to playing the same templates over and over again is that even if you don't look up the way the template looks, you might still recognize the pattern as time goes on. In an effort to avoid this, I've refrained from looking up the map template patterns as much as possible and I keep rotating map templates to try and forget the manner in which each map template is designed (and, naturally, to keep the maps fresh).

Hey thanks for the reply!
Yea those are all just ways of making it easier for anyone reading the comments, or for me when I don't feel like paying too much attention to what I'm doing. Armour of the damned is great if you can get a hold of it, but I find that there's a surprising amount of expert water magic later in the game and it just doesn't have the stats to match some other armours. Also playing it without being able to purchase and sack creatures makes even fly/DD a bit of a challenge.
I do admit that I have a severe lack of knowledge where conflux is concerned as I have never really been interested in playing it and thus ever since it became a town I have yet to have it as my starting town and get more than 30mins into a game.

How much of an impact does choosing the template have on your game when compared to just randomly generating a map and not knowing/checking what template it used?

TheKnownWorld

7y↑1

Very well-detailed explanation! To be honest though, this challenge idea (or, at least, a variation of it) has already been brought up to my attention. Others who suggested similar challenges tried taking the difficulty level one step further and setting all of the enemy factions to be the same type (i.e. 7 Dungeon AI or 7 Conflux AI), making it easier for them to build stronger stacks once they conquer one another.

However, I fail to see how this constraint of using just one town type leaves Necromancy and Diplomacy as the “only” two overpowered aspects of the game. Armor of the Damned is still ridiculously strong, Dimension Door and Fly are still abusable, Conflux still dominates with just a single town, and so on. Furthermore, having access to creature banks like Dragon Fly Hives and Griffin Conservatories means that Fortress and Castle have an inherent advantage for obvious reasons.

Anyway, I appreciate the suggestion! Thank you for commenting! :)

Hello! I'm glad you're enjoying my videos! Thanks for watching and commenting!

SeriousGranade

Oh yeah, Archangels, everyone's favorite xD
But seriously, of all Tier 7 units Archangels are probably the best of the bunch. If I had to choose between Black Dragons, Behemoths, Phoenixes and Archangels I'd always pick the Archangels.

TheKnownWorld

Archangels are a pretty solid Tier 7 unit, yeah. They're made even stronger by the fact that Angels are available from Griffin Conservatories (which are often abundant on random maps). This makes it so that Archangels are not just very powerful individually, but can also come in significant numbers.

However, I do have to admit that each of the units you listed has its strengths. I would certainly prefer having Black Dragons in the event that I was planning to use Armageddon. Although Ancient Behemoths are tougher to amass in the late game, they're easier to obtain early on and are good at cutting right through your opponent's Defense Skill. Phoenixes come in packs of 4 a week assuming you have a Castle in your Conflux town, so you'll have tons of them relatively quick. Knowing how strong each of these units are in different situations, I'm not sure I'd go as far as saying I'd "always" pick Archangels if I had the choice, although I can see why others would.

Mari Corp.

Just got into heroes 3. I play on easy but I'm just learning. I'm also maining castle

Primary

Ha when I first played this a looong time ago I always used Castle and Orrin the same way you'd do Loynis. I just liked Orrin's portrait and thought he was cool. I'd always play hotseat with my buddy and he'd always pick Inferno so we had that friendly rivalry of angels vs devils

TheKnownWorld

That’s awesome! I’m not quite sure I’d call “Angels vs. Devils” a friendly rivalry, though. ;)

Back when my brother and I used to play the game together, I used to get him to random his faction and hero, but I never let him have Necropolis, Conflux, or Castle.

harel shami

why start with caitlin when u can start with lord haart that has estate specialty and starts with basic estates i think pretty soon and if u lvl him up a bit using learning stones and mb some fights he will give u a lot more gold

TheKnownWorld

Ah, interesting question! No one has ever brought this up before. To be honest, I might not be the right person to ask since I typically start with Valeska anyway.

However, if I were to take a guess, I presume that it all boils down to the immediate usefulness of the gold you get. For example, note that Learning Stones are not always readily available on every random map, and if you have fights to take for EXP then you'd probably want to give these fights to your main hero. Now, also factor in that for you to get Lord Haart to be of similar value to Caitlyn, you need him to be at least level 2 (that is, 1k EXP) for Advanced Estates and even then, he still makes less Gold than Caitlyn per turn. However, as it turns out, there's also a chance that Leadership will be the offered skill at level 2 and if that's the case, then Lord Haart still holds less value than Caitlyn in the early stages of the game.

I could go on and make more points regarding why I would imagine that people pick Caitlyn over Lord Haart (including the fact that Caitlyn starts with a spell book), but I'll leave it at this for now.

DarkBearLab

I love this game when I was a little kid yet didn't really win once, now I do.

Tomáš Doubek

Not sure how this is done actually, but my PC opponent is able to have like 15 arch angels, 90+ marksman, etc. in month 2 week 2. When i see this and other videos, it just seems like somehow the AI having such weaker armies than my enemy actually is able to build. On top of that insane armies, he has also very strong defense in the castle.

TheKnownWorld

15 Archangels? How would this even be possible on a random map? Even assuming that the AI could somehow get a Portal of Glory in their town with a Castle on the opening week (which basically requires a miracle start), they’d be getting just 2 Angels per week. By Month 2 Week 2, that would only be 5 weeks’ worth of reinforcements plus the initial Angel, totaling up to 11 Angels. I suppose that the AI could then acquire additional Angels from Griffin Conservatories or from other towns, but then they’d have to find a way to upgrade all of them into Archangels, which would require even more resources. This isn’t even factoring in the cost of other buildings and heroes.

All in all – and I do apologize for this – I think that 15 Archangels is a little far-fetched for the time frame that you’ve stated. On random maps, the only time I’ve ever seen the AI with 15 of any Tier 7 unit by Month 2 Week 2 is when they play Conflux, and that’s only because Firebirds have a base growth of 2.

Hi MeKick! I was wondering why after obtaining Angel Wings you did not simply flew over to the remaining AI factions on the surface?

TheKnownWorld

6y↑1

It's been a while since I've done this playthrough, so I can't quite remember all of the details. If I were to guess, I was probably trying to conform to my usual implicit ruleset (no Fly or Dimension Door).

ZeddBloaxigan

Prayer is a very underappreciated spell - it's basically haste alongside bloodlust/stoneskin and unlike haste - slow doesn't replace it, it only puts you down to right around natural speed.

Which basically means that if your opponent has mass slow, you'll never be truly affected by it.
and that tends to be a rather big deal if you yourself have mass slow

also gj on not abusing the fact that you can have split stacks of arch angels that resurrect eachother in that scorpicore fight

TheKnownWorld

@ZeddBloaxigan Doubtful.

ZeddBloaxigan

You had cure to negate the retaliation damage/paralysis and if they did manage to snipe an arch angel then you would be able to recover it. :-)

TheKnownWorld

Yes, Prayer is indeed nice for what it does. However, Prayer doesn't replace Slow like Haste does either. Also, Prayer tends to be a considerable amount more difficult to obtain than Haste and Slow, on top of the usual requirement of Expert Water Magic to be utilized at its full potential.

Also, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic regarding me not splitting up those Archangels for that Scorpicore fight. While I admittedly didn't expect that many of them, I needed the Archangels in one stack anyway to do as much damage as possible per hit. Prior to the fight, I was under the impression that I'd have been able to one-shot each set of Scorpicores.

TheBlackDragon

When I played as Loynis I try to bank on getting expert water magic for the mass prayer. Love your vids dude!! It's been a long while since I watched one of your streams since I got burnt out by people making fun of me for being (Older) and liking this game since I also played when it first came out back in 2000 (Homm3 no expansions)

TheBlackDragon

@TheKnownWorld But as I stated I would love to play against you again some time. Even if it's a 1v1, or teams, or even some type of speed run (with/without autocombat)

TheBlackDragon

TheKnownWorld I’ve always enjoyed your content and would love to play again against you sometime

TheKnownWorld

5y↑1

Loynis with Water Magic – a classic combination! Of course, I would imagine that there are stronger options in competitive play, but having Prayer on all of your units is still a lot of fun to mess around with.

Hold on, so you showed up to my streams and people made fun of you for liking Heroes III even though you're older? When was this? This seems rather odd, considering that much of the audience that makes up my channel (at least from my understanding) are also from an older demographic themselves. I'm sorry to hear that you were disappointed in the way my streams went!

In any case, I'm glad you're enjoying my content!

That is a nice argument but you are trump wrong it has top tier units that's right but it is expensive and the mage guild is limited to lvl 4. But if you like castle play along. I personally like sstronhold despite the flaws.

Zeithri

I like Rampart and Necropolis the best personally.
But Castle is a damn nice one.

OH OH, AND LIZUUURDS!

Auron3991

The thing to realize though was that cyclops were infinitely more affordable in a game that's even more resource tight than 3. To give you an idea, 2's necro faction basically ignored building it's first three tiers (zombies were useless, mummies didn't quite measure up, and skels were mass produced by skill) after mid-early game and it still had money trouble. That was actually the big advantage to knight, they were rarely, if ever, going to have money issues because they fall less than three thousand gold short per week on full production (that's recruiting all upgraded with crusaders) and usually had paladins or cavalry on production first week. Knights could easily have 8-12 crusaders per dragon/titan through a combination of early production and resource denial.

TheKnownWorld

@***** Here is a comparison between the two units that, I would say, was very well-done: http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes2/titanvsdragon.shtml

It's a pretty fun and very good read for insight into the Heroes II Titan vs. Black Dragon debate.

Tanzklaue

8y↑1

@*****
the way worse thing is though, that the difference between black dragons and titans is negligible compared to the difference between titans and cyclops, which are the next strongest max tier unit. essentially, you had no chance of beating warlock or wizard in the lategame unless you had dragons or titans of your own, since no single unit could stand up to those beasts. which was especially hilarious since knight existed, whose best unit, the crusader, had 50 hp.

Man this template is so harsh, I had to restart several times before I was able to get champions week 1 without pooling absolutely everything I could into getting them and then not getting raided by AI main hero week 2.

TheKnownWorld

Hmm, that's somewhat surprising. I find this template to be quite generous as far as resources are concerned, and under the right circumstances I can even sometimes get a Portal of Glory on Week 1 on 160% difficulty. Given their close proximity to you though, the AI is indeed quite unforgiving.

I feel most comfortable with Castle, Rampart and Dungeon. But from this 3 friends one always choose Tower and one Dungeon. The last friend then circle between Castle, Rampart and Stronghold.

@McTheMan LOL, that sounds epic! Lucky you. I wish I had that kind of liberty to play Heroes III with my family. :)

I recall playing Castle because it was the first one you can select when you click the Right Arrow on the "choose a faction" menu. Also, it was at-the-time the easiest faction for me to play -- I was always wondering why I would ever want to play a "weaker" faction like Fortress or Stronghold, with their cap at Mage Guild Level 3. Oh, how times have changed! ;D

The Professor

+TheKnownWorld the only reason I actually started playing this game was because I was playing on our family's computer with my brother, and he said this game was really good, so I played it with him. Castle was the one that looked the coolest (and one of the few I could pronounce because I was six) and then I stuck to it. I'm actually playing a game with him as I'm typing this, and I'm playing on castle, while he's on tower.

TheKnownWorld

I appreciate the feedback regarding the use of overpowered spells like Implosion and Town Portal! I'll keep this in mind going forward. I've already taken the liberty of avoiding certain spells (such as Slow and Resurrection) in my recent challenge videos. In the future, I may go even further and ban other spells if I feel it to be necessary, but I think that this is a good start for now.

At this time, I don't intend to stop doing this series, but I've had limited time to release videos as of recent. Cheers!

@TheKnownWorld Why pro players usually start with Caitlin as secondary, to get a main hero later in tavern and not actually start with a castle main hero, like a knight? They may waste a slot with Leadership, but they are might heroes that fit more into water magic school, so in a way, they have better chances to use most spells from Castle (Cure, Clone, Bless, etc). I don't see why other hero classes could be better as main.

What are your thoughts on schools of war/magic? I usually don't hit them up until mid game once I've built up an army and economy, but oftentimes they are well out of the way of where I want to go (so I will lose half a day of movement, if not more). Is it even worth the +1 stat or should you just stick to progressing and collecting artifacts?

One of the best games of all time, thanks for sharing your tips and strats.

TheKnownWorld

Ah, interesting question! This is one I haven't gotten before. :D

When it comes to Schools of War/Magic, my mentality is typically quite similar to yours. In general, I don't access them early on since 1000 Gold is, in my opinion, more valuable for building up my army or town. There are rare exceptions to this, namely if I'm trying to build up certain heroes (often magic-based) like Solmyr early on or if I'm playing a Gold-rich template like Jebus Cross. Besides, I can always come back to pick them up later anyway.

Furthermore, if your main hero is losing a half-day's worth of movement or more just to get +1 stat for 1000 Gold, it probably just isn't worth the movement to go and collect the School of War/Magic unless you really have nowhere else to go with your main hero. Progression and artifact collecting would often be my main focus, with that Gold being used elsewhere (i.e. armies, town buildings, or even a new hero).

Anyway, it is my pleasure sharing my tips and strategies. Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

My main hesitation regarding Heroes III campaigns is that others (i.e. Meridian and boardgamergirl) have already pumped out videos for them, and so I feel it is somewhat redundant to do what they have done already. A speed run might be rather interesting since so few people have tried it, but there is still a long list of items to do on my Heroes III to-do list before I even touch Heroes III's Campaign mode.

Hello Sigurd! In your Heroes III directory, there should be a folder called "mp3". Inside this folder, there will be a whole slew of .mp3 files that correspond to the in-game audio in varying situations.

First, rename (or delete, although I wouldn't advise it) an existing .mp3 file that you want replaced (i.e. GRASS.mp3 to GRASS2.mp3) and then move the replacement .mp3 file into the folder. Then, rename the new .mp3 file into what the old file's original name was and you should be good to go! :)

You’re welcome! It seems that you’re not the only one who believes that they’re the last remaining Heroes III player on Earth. One of my reasons for starting this channel in the first place was to show Heroes III lone wolves that there are still others out there as well. :P

DwntheRabbitHole

Ha! Beat you xD started a 200% at the same time as the video on an XL map and beat ya by 5 minutes :p
(edit: my score was only 462 though...)

TheKnownWorld

LOL, I can’t believe that you actually tried to race my Castle playthrough to the end! Well played :)

2:20:08 - lots of trolls xD That moment killed me xD

TheKnownWorld

Hey, you know it's true! :P

Simon Emil

I think you should play a game where there is no rules so you would be able to use all the spell scrolls ;) thx for all the awesome videos

TheKnownWorld

Actually, I chose to do this in my Diplomacy video since I was already breaking the game by using Diplomacy to begin with. So if you're interested, make sure to take a look into that. :P

You talked something about different map templates, is there actually a way to change how a random map generates on top of the regular options?

TheKnownWorld

Actually, yes. There are two ways this can be done. The first is by obtaining the HW rules plugin, which allows you to prevent Obelisks, Cartographers, Trading Posts, and Hill Forts from being spawned on random maps just before you start the game. The HW rules plugin can be obtained from http://forum.heroesworld.ru/attachment.php?s=4e8c700e809e43fc71699d0a0af220db&attachmentid=49904&d=1500418241.

The other way this can be done is by editing the rmg.txt file to tweak the map generation settings in a way that you want. I'm not too familiar when it comes to playing around with rmg.txt, but this thread might be of interest to you: http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=14290&PID=286557#focus

I apologize for the late reply, but I hope this helps!

Hello! Do you ever stream multiplayer games you play? I use to watch the russians, although its kinda dull not to understand what they are saying. Do you have a chance vs them?

Theodore T.

Hello there had nostalgia hit me on this game (ironicly enough to your video talking about nostalgia lol gotta give it to this game making you nostalgic) so i stumbled on your videos for a while nice videos btw! loved the series and the commentary.So would you mind explaining to me briefly what's the deal with templates? i can't find info on them either anywhere...for example some differences between some of them (i can tell they are something like a guideline for the map generator to follow while building the map but what rules are changing?)...what are good templates to play ?which ones are choosen for pvp?
I would like to return playing heroes on a more interesting level of difficulty and maybe online so any info would help :)

TheKnownWorld

@Theodore T. My pleasure. :)

Thank you very much for all the info definitely helped a lot!

TheKnownWorld

Thank you, and I'm glad that you've enjoyed my videos and commentary thus far! First and foremost, you can download the HW rules plugin for the HD mod from http://forum.heroesworld.ru/showthread.php?t=10609. Now, as for templates, there are no "rules" changed. As you mentioned, templates dictate the manner in which the map will be generated -- that is, the contents of the map (like whether Dragon Utopias and Dragon Fly Hives are present), the number of zones present, what types of towns can be available, the value of each treasure zone, and so on. For example, in the Jebus Cross template (meant for XL maps with no Underground), there are 4 large player-controlled zones present as well as a fifth rich desert area in the middle. Meanwhile, in the 8xm8 template (for XL+U maps), you'll find 48 zones filled with Dragon Fly Hives.

I can't list you the dynamics of each one, but you can certainly Google the map designs for each of them (i.e. Google "Heroes 3 8xm8 map template" on the Images section and you should get an image of 8xm8's design). Good templates to play depend on what map size you want and how many players you want to play with -- if you want to play with 4 players, for example, then Jebus Cross might be your best bet.

The standard map templates chosen for PvP that I have seen would be Jebus Cross, Skirmish, Balance, 8mm6a, 6lm10a, 8xm12a, 8xm8 (I don't recommend this one), Spider, and Mini-Nostalgia. I hope this helps!

also if you pleeease tell me where to download the HW rules mod?:)

After long time since the last time i've seen you, I saw the the name TheKnownWorld and it sounded familiar. Then I hear the introduction and say: "This is MeKick, after all, this is great!". :)

Kemek12345

@TheKnownWorld Firstly I saw you at Youtube and your channel really got me interested so I hoped on your Twitch streams :). You recommended me Couch_Frosty as well :). Btw I was wondering, when are you streaming on Twitch?

TheKnownWorld

Hehe, when was the first time you saw me? :P

2:10:00 All you had to do was to cast a damn "Cure"

Mike Baker

Why didn’t you pick up the Badge of Courage at 2:06:00?

Tu Chenz

Is there a list somewhere of the hotkeys you are using? Looks like they would speed up things quite a bit

With the HD mod:

CTRL+Click creates a 1-stack of a unit
ALT+Click groups up all units of one type into a single stack
SHIFT+Click splits up a stack into two halves
CTRL+SHIFT+Click fills all remaining empty slots with a 1-stack of the selected unit

I hope this helps! :D

thanks you for doing castle

DarkSaruman

Why did you take +1 spell power on Monere at 1:44:00? He has only 10 mana, wouldn't +1 knowledge be better?

TheKnownWorld

Not in this case. Since I was going into battle with Monere right after grabbing the School of Magic, I wanted the +1 Spell Power because unlike +1 Knowledge, the +1 Spell Power would actually be useful for the fight. With +1 Spell Power, my spells in the following battle would last for two turns instead of one. In this situation, +1 Knowledge would only help me if I went back to replenish my Spell Points before the fight.

Hey! I've been wondering for a long while what thing you're using to get "extended" information about the heroes when you right click them during scenario select, I'm using both HD mod and HOTA and I still don't get all that information that pops up on your videos, grateful for an answer! -Facebook copy pasta in case you wouldn't notice the PM

TheKnownWorld

No worries! Sorry for taking so long to reply.

Nikki Mobtrain

Thanks for your answer, and sorry for hunting you down on several platforms!

TheKnownWorld

Ah, great question! The additional hero details is a feature of the HD mod that only works when setting up a random map. In other words, you can't view extended hero details when trying to view them while setting up a scenario.
