The Heroes Round Table

Another vote for Octavia.

Yes, her special and skills scream "secondary!," but I like her biography and the fact that she survives the Reckoning with her continuity intact. I'll adopt her from the Tavern no matter what town(s) I'm playing. She always makes herself useful.

Yes, my machine made the same claim. Smart computer, it knows that 128 of one thing must outweigh only 2 of another thing...even if the first are mice and the second are elephants.

Please note that this method requires access to the original H5 and HoF games. If you only own Tribes, you won't have H5's data and HoF's data1 to copy.

The single scenarios and multiplayer maps do work. I'm playing "Maahir's Gambit" and haven't encountered any glitches yet .

Yes, that's what I was referring to. The specific problem for someone who only owns Tribes: Initially the maps would not function properly because alot of the scripts were missing. I fixed that by copying the data and data1 files into the TotE data folder with slightly altered names to avoid overwri...

The official campaign downloads currently online require Original and HoF ".pak"s, not included in the download, so they don't work if you only own Tribes. At least, not until someone makes the necessary .paks available as well. That said, the downloadable single scenarios and multiplayer ...

Can someone with TotE please check to see if it will run the Legends campaigns?

Thank you.

After extensive research, I have concluded that NWC wasn't too picky about the linguistic heritage of their genie names. As found with Google and a bunch of name sites: Aenain : not real name Aine (Gaelic): radiance, happiness Alem (Arabic): wise man Brissa (Spanish): Short form of Briseida, from Br...

"Wali" means "friend" in Arabic. (Confirmed by Wikipedia , but I first learned it in an academic class on Islam.) Wikipedia also says that "Barad" means "cold" ( citation ). Given genies' fondness for snow towns and Ice Bolt, I think that makes sense. Neither ...

The H1&2 Sandro is the classic. H3 Sandro was disappointing, and H4 Sandro more so. (Same with Gem.)

Voted H3 power lich.

Not to mention the go-go boots. This is why one upgrades liches as soon as possible. (Who needs vamp life-drain? Give the liches some modesty!)

Possibly. But we have a pretty messy to-do list these days. Would you be willing to help with that? :D That depends on what needs doing. :) I'd be happy to help out where I can. (I've some time on my hands and a near obsessive interest in this stuff. ;) ) Age of Heroes doesn't seem to have much by ...

In "Dragons" Waerjak is old enough to go hunting by himself but young enough that Tarnum hands him over to Adrienne for babysitting. :D They don't cite a specific age. There is no reference to Waerjak in "Elements." Tarnum is also startled to see that Gavin Magnus is immortal (no...

Exactly. The Play disk is Disk 2. BTW, my H3 Complete had the exact same complaint about 2gigs of memory. What's up with that?

Voted for H3 normal genie, but I like the MM7 variation even better.

Oops, looks like I didn't get around to editing that post. :ashamed: I tried ResEdit first, seeing as it had been so helpful with H3 files, but it couldn't find anything in the H4 Data folder. Apparently, it only looks at LOD, SND, and VID files. The H4 campaigns are tucked away in a file named hero...

The AB intro movie is on the AB CD in "Heroes3/DATA/Heroes3.vid". It's called "H3X1intr" and is provided in both .smk and .bik formats. I extracted the .smk version from the CD using MM7View . (Yes, yes, wrong game...but MM7View lets you play movies before extracting them which R...

*bump again*

Does anyone know of a similar extractor for H4?

re: Zoltan's special -- My impression is that he makes the enemy spellcaster temporarily forget any spell they use. Game mechanic would be that the enemy can only use each spell once per battle with him.

Destruction school looks like a one-trick Charlie. At least the name is accurate. What's the strategy for this school...remembering which enemy has which immunity? Not hitting your own troops?
