M&M riddle game

[Panda Tar]

Uh-huh.

[asandir]

bugger I thought maybe town portal, but doesn't really fit ....

[HodgePodge]

Summary:

I'm needed for reaching
I'm needed for seeking
I'm needed for defending
I'm needed for attacking

I used to go all the way in one step,
but evolution makes me fall back
If you're in a hurry to find your destiny,
I might be able to let you attack.

Heroes games.

Hint 1: It's related either to heroes or units, but just one of those fulfill all the riddles.

Hint 2: That's something that's seen in all Heroes games. It's not a spell.

Hint 3: For hint 1, it's related to units.

Ahm.... . Strange, I'm somewhat sleepy.

Edit: another hint, shall I?

Hint 4: Related to movement and position.

Now it has gotten pretty easy.

Hmmm, let's see …

Town Portal Spell?

Nope.

bugger I thought maybe town portal, but doesn't really fit ....

I already guessed Town Portal and it was wrong. Also, Panda said it isn't a spell.
Where or where is tLD when we need him.

[theLuckyDragon]

Turns/Initiative system?
Something like that?

[winterfate]

This is tough...

Ugh...

Boots of Speed?

[Panda Tar]

None of the guesses above. It's not Creature's speed, but a close issue, yes. It's not Turns/Initiative system because it's not only one thing. It's not Boots of Speed because it's an artifact that is not found in all Heroes games.

Summary:
'm needed for reaching
I'm needed for seeking
I'm needed for defending
I'm needed for attacking

Hint 2: That's something that's seen in all Heroes games. It's not a spell.
Hint 3: For hint 1, it's related to units.
Hint 4: Related to movement and position.
Hint 5: There's a spell, in some (probably two or three) of the Heroes games, that causes that effect, although that's not a spell we are talking about.

Think I should come with another and last hint for this riddle?

Hint 6: It's an ability.
Guess, now!

[winterfate]

Tactics?!

[asandir]

pathfinding?

[HodgePodge]

Tactics?!

I think you guessed right, fate. When Panda returns we'll know for sure but your answer seems to fit the riddle and all the hints. I would be surprised if your guess wasn't right. Where is that Panda??!?? Probably lurking around in his bamboo forest, taking a nap and thinking up more difficult riddles to stump us.

[asandir]

I think tactics is better than my guess, but it was the only other thing I could think of and wanted to get it down in case winter is wrong

It's not tactics. Although it seems similar. And no for Pathfinding. I don't recall tactics in Heroes 2, for instance.

As I said previously, and summarizing it, we have: IT'S A CREATURE ABILITY, THAT YOU MAY FIND IN ALL HEROES SERIES, WHAT A CREATURE CAN DO. BESIDES, WE MUST REMEMBER THAT IN HEROES 2 AND 1, AND IN 3 TOO, CREATURES ABILITIES WEREN'T SHOWN OR DESCRIBED, AND THAT ABILITY COULD BE TOLD JUST BY SEEING. IN HEROES 4 AND 5, IT STARTED TO BE DISPLAYED AS WELL. One of you guessed it indirectly (a last-last hint).

[Sir William S Titan]

Is it flight?

I haven't played H1 or 2, so I don't know if there are flying creatures in those.

[winterfate]

@William: Flight has been in every game since King's Bounty (the game some call HOMM 0 for it's inspiration to the series).

You may have gotten it right William!

Let's cross our fingers.

[asandir]

jesus I hope you are right!

[Panda Tar]

Is it flight?

I haven't played H1 or 2, so I don't know if there are flying creatures in those.

And finally, the winner! The answer is surely flight or the flying ability.

Let's see the riddle again, shall we?

I'm needed for reaching
I'm needed for seeking
I'm needed for defending
I'm needed for attacking

Self-explanatory.

I used to go all the way in one step, - In Heroes 1 and 2, flying creatures could attack all the battlefield in a single movement, anywhere they wanted. Just their speed would tell if they would attack sooner or later.
but evolution makes me fall back - In Heroes 3 and on, they started being unable to cross all the battlefield unless their speed was too high or either for their movement.
If you're in a hurry to find your destiny,
I might be able to let you attack. - So, based on the second line, these two lines consider that, if you cast Haste Spell or anything similar (so you're in a hurry), it could enable your creature to reach their enemy for an attack.

This was my best riddle. Congratulations, Sir William S Titan.

So, who's next.

Yay!! Sir William S Titan, please step up to the podium and accept your prize … the honor of trying to stump the entire Heroes Round Table with a mind-boggling riddle.

And congratulations to Panda Tar for a real brain teaser.

[winterfate]

I second that!

Congrats William!

And thank God someone finally figured it out!

[Sir William S Titan]

Shouldn't be too hard. But it may be. We'll see.

I brought along a nightlight
But, still, they run and hide
Except those of my kind
Hey, it's a matter of pride

Edit: Oh yeah. H4, at least. I can't remember if others have this.

[winterfate]

Sea Monster?

[Omega_Destroyer]

Way too easy.
