The Heroes Round Table

Then why is every pro-gamer comment i heard is against MBS (true, not that many, but no pro MBS ones either)? Pro-gamer comments on MBS ? Show ? ^^;; Anyway, I already answered that. (speed is a necessary skill, removing MBS could decrease its need, some people think it's not cool. dunno what the p...

There is nothing I fail to grasp in what you said but what makes no sense at all. Of course RTS require strategy skills AND other skills, and you certainly never pointed out what exactly in the things I said to describe strategy was in fact not strategy. Alternatively, I did point out what in the th...

Keep it up dude ^^ Going back and forth around your starting point. You're hilarious.

Oh and just so you know, some progamers play with low apm =)

stuff Well, I'm not going to argue any longer with you because you are not following the discussion at all and only answering the same dumb stuff every time, but here's my summary to you : yes, RTS require speed and fast reaction, but it also needs strategic thinking. Also, you are obviously better...

Well I just found the origin of the problem : they were set to "belongs to player 2". It's kind of stupid because it doesn't show in game at all, but in the editor you can have Elemental Confluxes set to belong to one player, and then only this player will be able to recruit Elementals fro...

I'm playing my map with Heroes V standard (no expansions). When heroes reach an elemental conflux, sometimes they are unable to buy the elementals that dwell in there (the "buy" button is grey). Of course, they have enough gold and also have room in their army. Does someone know where this...

No ^^ There is a clear nuance, and this nuance is critical to the definition here. I see I'm not the one who misunderstood the sentence :) There is a nuance that "use" would not have, but not the one you think. That was my point with the console vs PC example. But feel free to ignore it. ...

I play Heroes2 much more than Heroes 3 nowadays, because of graphics. (though I like almost all gameplay innovations of H3) So graphics matters a lot. At least to me.

You think H2 looks better than H3 ?!

"the practical adaptation of the means placed at a general’s disposal to the attainment of the object in view" Better explanation: You can just replace "adaptation" with "use" and the meaning would stay the same. No ^^ There is a clear nuance, and this nuance is critic...

Prometheus, a bit of advice. An entire post telling ppl how SC is played really doesn't say anything about HoMM. It only annoys ppl because we don't care about SC, by itself, on this forum. You just made a long post that IMO served no purpose. They're 2 completely different games and you made no co...

Fist off, the adventure map and combat more or less (less imo) correspond to Macro and Micro in SC, so when you decide to attack a enemy hero it's kinda the same as when you decide if you attack with your current force or wait to build 2 more Zealots... same concept, different ways of accomplishing...

The starting corsair is something you often do in Protoss vs Zerg depending on your game plan, because the Zerg has many deadly options to threaten you due to his exceptional ability to switch techs or switch his economy mode. You really need to scout him and get details so you can spend those miner...

Why ? You don't agree with my description of how it is played ? Then feel free to show me I'm wrong and explain me why.

@ProMeTheus112 just give 3 good points where HoMM lacks tactic, and 3 good ones where lacks strategy, than support each with an example. That can be interesting. Let's see. It's quite complicated so it's cool if some people try to correct me to find out really how those games are played and can be ...

You can argue that an adaptable strategy is better then a rigid one, but not that a rigid strategy isn't a strategy. Wikipedia says you're wrong, and I think that page I linked too. A strategy is adaptable by nature, else it isn't a strategy. Wikipedia is not the final truth, but in this case IMO y...

Let's see if you understand this: SC vs game-of-choice fanboi arguments have infested the internet for the last 10 years. We've had SC-vs-C&C down to SC-vs-Rocky-Road-ice-cream. We've had enough. We don't care what you think of game XYZ compared to SC. The onus is on you to prove to us that SC ...

If you've looked at CoH and still feel SC is better, then I'm not going to waste my breath. IMO, DoW is more advanced than SC conceptually, and CoH is an advanced evolution of DoW, therefore CoH concept >>> SC1/2 concept, since SC2 is just a better (or not) SC1. Your statement is worth nothing with...

I know CoH and its expansions are poorly balanced. But conceptually this franchise is eons beyond SC franchise. Why ? I haven't given any serious look into CoH but what I've seen of it makes me seriously doubt this. I'm interested in hearing your arguments though. I can't believe you're trying to t...

Oh I found a definition of strategy that puts really well into words what I thought : "the practical adaptation of the means placed at a general’s disposal to the attainment of the object in view." on this page about the meaning of strategy : http://home.att.net/~nickols/strategy_definitio...

If you think what I'm saying about H5 is wrong feel free to argue. One thing that I indeed would like you to confirm further. It is about "... it still has nothing to do with strategy or tactics ^^ It is a rigid set of instruction :p ". Since AI in any game is exactly just a rigid set of ...
