I think you had to walk your shooters to the tower.

[wimfrits]

Somebody that actually managed to place shooters in the tower please tell me how you did it.

It seems you don't understand our answers.
During the tactics phase, drag and drop a stack of shooters into the central tower. But, as I said, it doesn't always work. I don't know why.

Drag and drop is the first thing I've tried and it never worked for me all it does is dropping the shooters out of the battle, well, thanks for your answer, now at least I know it's just another of this game's endless string of bugs.

[wimfrits]

Ah. I remember with H4 I discovered a new tactic every time I played. With H6 I discover a new bug every time

My simple question is:

What's the bottom line. Is it a good game (maybe now that it's patched) or not?

A friend said about a month ago that it's his favourite one yet. That threw me for a loop!

Anybody??

[Kalah]

Well, at the current price you get some value for money. It depends if you consider yourself a casual player or a serious gamer with high demands from balance and such. As a casual player, you will no doubt have quite a few hours of fun with H6, if you're looking for a serious challenge, the bugs and balance issues that are left will torment you.

You are wrong - this question is NOT simple! Anyway, the answer is - the game is horribly bugged, still.

H6 is having pretty visuals and simplified everything else. And still many bugs, so true.

If you don't request visuals and instead prefer some depth of game play, then rumours say that you may try Fallen Enchantress (standalone sequel), as Master of Magic style of game.

Or Masters of the Broken World in near future. But, these are just rumours..

speaking of Elemental: Fallen Enchantress, is it really worth buying ?
what do you guys think about it ? I browse on some video games websites and the grades of this game do not seem to be that high...

[reeeload]

how to add boss into map? i cant find it in map editor.

[Avonu]

They were added to editor in one of latest patches, so make sure you have game version 1.8 first:

I've had the exact same problem. Except dragging and dropping during the tactics phase has never worked and I also haven't been able to make a creature walk into the central tower during a battle.

[hellegennes]

Walking into the tower works for me. I haven't tried tactics though.

Is there a way to disable/remove the screen that says "press any key to start the game"?

[Avonu]

Yes, there is.

Go to Documents HoMM6/User name folder, open ProfileData file with for example Notepad and search for:

<LoadingscreenWaitForKeypress>true</LoadingscreenWaitForKeypress>

Change true to false and you no longer need to hit any key (not to mention to find the key first ).

Thanks a lot, really helpful.

hello. new to the game, have some simple(?) questions.
only one for starters:)

now playing Necropolis campaign.

sometimes during battles I am able to resurrect Lamasu creatures and sometimes I can't (though can every other creature). why's that?

Check if you have appropiate skill level and charge.

[elementaritas]

oh, it's not enough charge sometimes, since during same battle sometimes I can and sometimes cannot resurrect them.

different kind of question - I have two artifacts my heroes carries that I do not know purpose/powers. it's Golden Egg (Mysterious Egg) and Pretty Comb (Quest Item). Can I do something useful with them? Because it's already 4th map of campaign and I think this Pretty Comb lied in my backpack since 1st or 2nd map without any usage..

Golden Egg become Golden Goose, generating you some money. Needs some time to be hatched
Comb will be needed at right time, that's all what I can say without spoiling the story.

Is your game fully patched? What version of the game are you playing?
It may be damaged save, or you encountered something new and buggy.
