Poison Master is Lethos' unique skill. You can't get it unless he is your hero.

Skill Wheel

Unread postby sam vimes » 24 Aug 2008, 13:59

yap i just saw it now. sry my mistake.

i saw that starting skills (in case with letho basic irresistable magic) take 1 lvl point so when i make letho's skills form exaple i gave, it looks like letho should be lvl 28 but in real he is lvl 27. it shouldnt be so hard to be done because all warlocks start with irresistable magic, all necros start with necromancy ect.

otherwise wheel is prity useful and i can see only one defect. arrows that show connections between skills are too thin and if u use wheel from site in notebook screen it is hardly to see directions arrows between skills

Has someone noticed that this Skill Wheel is different from the one in the TotE Fan Documents. The One in the Fan Documents says that Warlocks can get BOTH Swift Mind and Teleport Assault, while this one says it's impossible (since one requires Pathfinding, the other Scouting)

Just to notice that THIS one is correct...

It's quite strange actually, because my Skill Wheel in Fan Documents shows correctly that you CAN'T get BOTH Swift Mind and Teleport Assault.
No matter how powerful one becomes, there is always someone stronger. That's why I'm in a constant pursuit of power, so I can be prepared when an enemy tries to take advantage of me.

I know. I some version it show the correct one, in onther the incorrect one (mine for instance is the incorrect one).

In any case, I wanted to warn those who have the wrong Skill Wheel, since it can turn out to be very annoying indeed.

I'm pretty sure you CAN'T get both TA and Swift Mind with a Warlock.

I apologize that this may not be the place to ask my question, but I hope someone would be willing to answer.

Q: Was there a random map genrator with heroes 3? I have all expansions and the help inside the editor mentions (if you want a random map to click on the map generator button) but I don't see a button. Thanks

Why did you post it here, where it's about the Heroes 5 Skill Wheel? :|

Heroes franchise was not about the free actions of Heroes or monsters, it was not about 3D of shiny graphics either, it was about diversity and balance, simplicity of gameplay and realistic picture, strategy in it's purest form. That's why Heroes 3 will be the greatest game of all, because only Heroes 3 has all those qualities together, no matter which one you personally like more. This statement is unquestionable, uncriticized and undeniable .

@Margie414: As Asheera said, this isn't the best place to ask such a question. I suggest you open a topic in the H1-H4 section ;) You'll definitely get an answer there.

@Artas1984: Please watch your language! Voice your opinion in a more mannered way and perhaps in the H5 section.

@ Mystic Phoenix,



some links to downloadable older versions of the skillwheel:



Skillwheel 2.1 executable version:

https://www.celestialheavens.com/homm5/ ... en=2.1.zip



Skillwheel 2.1 flash version:

http://www.aurelain.ro/works/aurelain_s ... lwheel.swf



Skillwheel 2.03 executable version:

https://www.celestialheavens.com/homm5/ ... n=2.03.zip



Skillwheel 1.1 executable version:

https://www.celestialheavens.com/homm5/skillwheel.zip



Skillwheel 1.1 flash version:

https://www.celestialheavens.com/homm5/skillwheel.swf



NOTE: Not 100% sure on all of this, but I think Skillwheel 2.1 applies to H5 original game v1.5+ & HoF v2.1, Skillwheel 2.03 applies to H5 original game v1.4-1.41 & HoF v2.0 (before the changes to necromancy), and Skillwheel 1.1 is for very old versions of H5 original game (probably v1.1)

@ CatherineMcClarey,



If you are playing on a Windows machine you can just hit ALT-TAB combination to minimize the game & return to desktop so you can view the skillwheel =)



Also, ALT-F4 closes the currently active window (useful if game freezes & you want to try to end the program - also used to come in handy in older versions of game where you couldn't quit during a battle)

As far as I know, the 1.6 version has the skill wheel very different - it's like the TotE one (3.0)

Hmm, I'm just speaking from what I heard, I could be wrong, as I don't have 1.6

@MattTheShark



Use the Skillwheel v2.1 for the Heroes 5 base game v1.6. I have used it and as far as I can tell there were no changes made that would affect the Skillwheel. This means the Skillwheel for 1.5 is essentially the same as for 1.6 (TotE is completely different and has it's own Skillwheel).



Speaking of TotE, I picked it up at a local Circuit City a few months ago for $3.19! It must have been on clearance or something. You can't beat that lol. I heard they may be going out of business so if you wanna look for it I wouldn't wait too long..... the product # is 008888683865 if that helps =)
