The Heroes Round Table

Remember, folks. This is still a Ubisoft product. Please don't be conned. Their latest, Star Wars Outlaws, is notoriously buggy with many people saying that gamers are paying to do beta testing. Let the first few thousand buyers do the beta testing for us. If they continue to support the game and pa...

Hi Andvari I downloaded and played your map, Basement Dwellers. I chose Rampart, the bottom right corner faction. I have cleared most of my area, conquered the Dungeon castle in my 'basement', and commenced invading my neighbor the Castle faction on the left/ West. There is one remaining Dungeon her...

Some improvements in the gameplay lurk in the background until you use it. I forgot to mention this earlier. But HOTA has changed the Dungeon town's Mana Vortex. It doesn't activate on you entering the castle, so you no longer need to make sure that the first hero who enters your castle is the one w...

Update: Having played several Factory games over the weekend, I have more to contribute: Like Conflux, Factory Heroes are mostly mediocre. None of their specializations are must-avoid, such as Eagle Eye or Mysticism. But except for one hero with Armorer specialization, most of the rest are just meh....

Glad to contribute my part towards keeping this forum alive!

That said, I still haven't gotten used to the Factory faction. So this is just meant to give readers a glimpse. There are a lot of better players than me!

Here's a follow up. I have been playing Factory a bit, as well as against Factory. The build tree allows you to focus on Organic creatures, or Mechanical creatures. Or both, if you have sufficient resources, but since Iron Ore and Crystal are both needed for the Coatls and Juggernauts, it's not like...

"it's also entirely possible that they care so little they just simply forgot to turn it off lol!!!"

This would have sounded like complete nonsense under 3DO.

But with Ubisoft, it's very credible. Some Ubisoft employee just forgot and nobody came after him to remind him.

Thanks Pol, I should add some clarifications to help people understand this mod better. -The Hades mod was originally intended to add Inferno, and this is definitely an interesting faction that is well developed. Inferno's racial ability is gating, which requires only 1 mana to cast to summon an Arc...

This is a brief review of the Heroes 7.5 mod, which you can get here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/heroes-of-might-and-magic-75 The latest version is v1.35 as of the writing of this post. Installation : Installation is quite straightforward. Just download and follow the instructions. Basically, unzip ...

So... 7 weeks after shutting down, how was it? Anybody wants to update on the experience?

I am not an owner of H6. After it came out I played on my cousin's H6 when he was at work, and hated it, so I never bought H6. But I'm asking, because what happens to H6 will happen to H7 in a few years.

I would definitely advise adhering to the Walkthrough. Yes, take that whirlpool to the Northwest and grab that remotely placed town. You'll still have a few tough fights once the Irollanders/ Elves mobilize and come after you, but it's doable on Heroic without requiring you to be a particularly good...

This is a very irritating mission. You are attacked dozens (no exaggeration) of times. Maybe 50 times. I also have posts from around 2016 about the poor structuring and design of this mission. All the enemy is ultra aggressive, but completely incapable of processing relative strengths. The first thr...

I should warn against attacking the enemy heroes before you are prompted to do so by the system. The enemy level 30s are well buffed up with artifacts and abilities. You can't win without taking serious casualties. And the problem with that, is that your victory doesn't count. That's right. If you k...

When I played Trial By Fire, I noticed that some newly introduced spells didn't seem to be working. I remember mentioning this years ago. Since the Trial By Fire campaign is basically Dwarves with Fire Magic and Humans with Light Magic, I wasn't sure of this. And it wasn't important to me anyway. No...

OK, should update. I did finish the map after all. And then I remembered the last times I played it. It might not be the Banshee altar that's the problem. It's the prison break sub-mission. Don't conquer the castle Moraleth or its nearest fort. These are designated in the script for the Soulscar. Yo...

It's not that hard a battle, but Ubisoft's programming is the problem. If you trigger the Banshee's altar, the Banshee will pop up and then you are asked to fight her. When this happens, you have to fight her. If you chose not to fight, and move away to do other things, sometimes the computer loses...

Playing this again several years later on Heroic. I've played on Normal and Hard before. Spoiler Alert: Banshee of Despair is just a few hundred ghosts, three stacks each in the 100-250 category if you move fast and attack early. SAVE the game when you think you are near to finding the Banshee. It's...

I read that the end scenarios played differently depending on how many "Tales" you had completed. I tried this after finishing only the Academy and Sylvan Tales, just to see. I only got two pieces of the sword, couldn't access parts of the map and the only other hero I controlled was Nolw...

No worries, it's just to show their ongoing problems.
I am currently playing H7 without any mods or add ons, but already it cannot save to cloud. They give me error messages without explaining why. So everything I am playing on now is a local savegame.

The disconnection is from their platform software, Ubisoft Connect. So I think it was a platform or server issue. I was not able to connect for half a day or so. My internet was working perfectly fine. I only have one Ubisoft game, Homm7 (which they insisted on rebranding as Might and Magic Heroes 7...
