The Heroes Round Table

I guess what I'm looking for is a general "ultimate" build, reguardless of what race / faction .... (I like to keep things simple so I don't have to memorize different combinations :lol: But I can see that for many, what I have always thought were "must haves", are not used at al...

This may have been posted elsewhere already, and I have seen several references to skill combinations in other threads, but I'd like to get some type of group ideas on who likes what best ... For my combinations, please feel free to make better suggestions ... I personally like to have: Attack Defen...

It's really taken the wind out of me for continuing. I finally just entered @Win() and moved on, but the game doesn't have the same feel ..... it has really ruined that "first time through" feeling for me.

yup, russian.



publishers want cheaper devs these days.

PC gaming is almost dead. at the current rate, it will be entirely defunct in about 5 years.

sad times.

I certainly hope not, I don't own any other "gaming systems" and probably won't.

Isn't Nival a "Russian" group as well?

IIRC, they just recently opened a US dev studio.

Not sure, I haven't looked them up ... if that's the case, the dialog may not be getting translated into English very well.

I like the game (except for the bugs) ... The dialog and scene animation is laughable, and reminds me of Sea Dogs when it came out ... but they had an excuse for the lousy dialog, Akila is a Russian group, and didn't have a good grasp of english. But the game was playable. To give Akila credit, they...

Quotes posted from a another thread .... (I didn't want to clutter the bugs thread ... ) Playing the Ranger Campaign, the Arch Vampire, I end my turn on Day 5 Week 1, Month 5, and the computer player decides he's not going to play any more ... he gets half way through his turn and stops .... so .. I...

I've only really played VIII and IX to any degree .... last Christmas, my wife and kids bought me Might and Magic VI Special Edition (includes I - V)

The older ones wouldn't really play on XP, and I just couldn't seem to get into VI, so ...

I like VIII the best ....

I'd like to be able to completely customize a Hero ... from his starting bonuses, creatures, abilities, scores, etc ....

P.S. Dread Wolf, your story sounds really nice. It must be great to play homm with your children. Maybe you should check the walktrough section if you need help. The A.I. does cheat like crazy. They should call it artificial cheating. I pretty much did do the walkthrough as well as I could ... that...

Did you defend in your town to fight Biara? That would make things much easier. Also, try to conserve troops as much as you can. Biara should come after 2-3 waves of teal heroes. The teal heroes might hit different garrisons (and lose to them for the first time), so you only need to fight 1, mostly...

My experience with H-V has been this: Saw the game in the store, remembered how much I enjoyed H-IV, made sure my system could run it, and bought it ... made the wife drive home so I could start reading the manul ... hmmm not much of a manual, but hey, I played IV a lot long ago, I should remember w...

well, apparently my problem is that Biara has not shown up... any way to trigger that? This no-Biara bug has annoyed so many players, and there is no easy solution. Your mission is bugged. People have been reporting that when they don't load a game at all since Day 1, their game functions normally ...

My problem has been quite different .. I can't seem to survive long enough for her to show up ... by I managed to get some heroes posted between some of the garrisons, and when they attacked one, I was able to get to it to replace the troops ... then while going back to get more troops, they attacke...
