Barrow Downs respawns in 1.5 month approximately.

I, of course, know that the score is calculated as the total experience divided by the number of days. The result of 17 days game is very high. Moreover that at least 7 days and 15 hours were spent for training. My best run without training is essentially lesser. I finished the game in 26 days with ...

Be less modest and recommend your own A Wind of Thornes :devious: Seriously! Though not optimized to Equilibris, the campaign is ingenious, story-driven and fun. Psychobabble's My Brother's Keeper is another map I would recommend. They're not built fo Equilibris, but they are excellent maps nonethe...

The beautiful, difficult, and multivariant map for H4 is Corona. I played in it for a month of my play time. This map has many variants for movement. It is the real RPG map. I like it and recommend to play for all HOMM4 fans.

I think only quest to entertain Prince Nikolay was not completed. The score depends very much from time, so sometimes is better not to complete all quests or kill all monsters for better score. An, of course, some rules should be established. JWC dungeon is out of game without any doubts. Multiloot...

It is quite possible to finish the game (MM6) with that score/time. The best result I know, is 1 781 526, running time 17 days and level of party 63. It was done without v isiting JWC dungeon. Experience level for the character was some 7,5 M at the end. Yes, but not all the quests were completed. ...

But where these mod tools are?

About likely and unlikely quests. I don't like MM9 at all. In MM6--MM8 there are no unlikely quests for me. Every quest is interesting. The most likely quests for me are the hardest ones: MM6 -- Varn, getting crystals in Darkmoor and Alamos. MM7 -- Too difficult to select. Almost all quests are easy...

But the most annoying quests for me are: MMVI -- the entire game featured overly large dungeons with too many monsters for too little reward. A special place of honor goes to Gharik's Forge in this regard. Runner up being druid promotion quests, where you'll have to wait half a year. :( Why wait ha...

To get soul jars from Walls, you must not open the chest with other soul jars in Nighon underground.

As long as you have someone able to cast GM Enchant Item in your party, I have managed to get +17 enchantments for both. (Monk's items are easier to come by though I agree, because they can show up on rings, +Armsmaster items never show up on rings, only on armor, shields, headgear, footgear and ga...

Not good at all. A pair of daggers at GM is much better for Thief than a pair of swords. It is no comparison in their effeciency.

About disarm. The disarm skill is not necessary to be high. The expert level and a high level disarm ring are enough for almost all chests expect most powerful in Titan Stronghold. But when you open such chests you already have enough protection from magics damage and these chests are easy to get. I...

The question is what game do you prefer to play: a long game with training to high levels or a short game with training to enough level (13th or a bit more). I prefer the short game. In this case the thief rules. This person needs smaller number of skill points in comparison with others classes. The...

In addition, high learning level and respective teaches essentially increase the experience gained from monsters. If you have the master learning at 25th level and hire Instructor (+15% to exp.) and Teacher (+10% to exp.), the experience gained from killing monsters is doubled: 100 + 25*3 + 15 + 10 ...

In MM6 you can train for many levels in one week. I trained during the game only 4 times. At the first time to level 14, at the second time to level 39, at the third time to level 69 and finally to level 92. Therefore 8*4=32 days were for training and 50 days were for killing and quests. It is enoug...

I think this is the minimal time needed to complete MM6 with all monsters killed and all quests completed. You can say that Circus is available in April (return prince Nickolai quest), but in fact it is available at midnight from March 29 to March 30. And it is enough time to complete the game befor...

Armmaster for fighter and thief.
Meditation for sorcerer and cleric.
Achemy for druid.
Nothing for others.

To get necessary scrolls from the School, you can save just before checking for the books and scrolls. Pay money, then save the game and then check for scrolls.

About harder game. I play in MM6 with modified monster's damage. The physical damage is increased in at least 3 times or more. The magical damage is increased much more (for some monsters in 7 times). This is the hard play and I like it.
