The Heroes Round Table

Does anyone at all understand this guy?

It's not possible! With units obstructing the first line, Black Dragons and hasted Hydras cannot reach across - unless he was using a Tight formation, which is suicide against the breath and mass attacks of Black Dragons and Hydras. It wasn't a tight formation, he learned not to do that after our f...

Strange though how your Black Dragons and Hydras could rush across in one move. That should not be possible, even with GM Tactics, even with Haste. Well, maybe you can reach the first line - but not the second, where the Priests should be. Not sure what to tell you, but I was able to do it. I just ...

csarmi: Guys, you both play terribly slowly. It's weak 2 month 2 day 5! THis map should be over in 4 weeks no matter what. We don't like rushing eachother and forcing a conflict before we can actually do anything on the map. If that means we're bad players, then fine. You have too few heroes and the...

Showdown is a map I got from the ToH pages; it's where I get all the maps from. I realized the map is a great map for multiple heroes after reading on the forums a bit, especially since there are actually 3 trees of knowledge, plus the other 7k free exp.

We'll try some other maps.

We're playing a modified version of the map Showdown. The only change between our map and the original is that one side was missing a dragon teacher, which I added in.

Saved game + map

How do you avoid getting something like Leadership or Summoning from a skill shrine, then? Those things always seem to give me the least appropriate skill possible.

Well if I'm dropping nature, then I'll most likely pick up a death caster since I already am using a death knight, anyway. In that case I'll keep my fingers crossed and can hopefully pick up the good debuffs. We had alternate level 4 creatures because of the random dwelling on the map we usually pla...

The easiest is to go chaos+death with chaos, that way you can have a native tactician AND pathfinder. That's what I've been doing so far, but I miss having nature magic for the buffs and summons. Do you think I should not get nature magic at all, or should I toss it onto my thief once I GM pathfind...

I could get more heroes, but it feels inefficient in battle to just hit defend/wait every turn with my tactics and scouting hero. They have some combat skill, but not nearly enough to actually do anything useful. I could have 5+ heroes, but chances are at least one of them will be of limited use in ...

If I get Cat Reflexes in my mage guild(s), then I go with hydras as my usual hero killer since farbs loves surrounding me. Black Dragons are amazing individually, but it's annoying to see 10 black dragons against 40+ champions. If I get only damage spells then I go with dragons. We usually play maps...

I'm the Chaos guy he plays against. We use the Equilibris mod and usually do smaller maps because neither of us really want to sit down for 6-7 hours straight to play a single game. Every single time we've played so far he has lucked out and gotten Mass Chaos Ward so my sorcerer was basically relega...
