I've just beat Pyramid for the first time. Normal difficulty. Started with Warlock. Main hero: Falagar.
Epic ******* battle.
Started out by quickly taking green's weakly garrisoned castle, leaving his stupid hero to abandon him after the 7th day. Built up a second barbarian army and used this army, with a secondary hero, to soften up Purple's main necro hero, so that on the very same turn Falagar could catch him with his pants down (this means him having 0 spell points left to face my main force).
Yellow player was insane, especially when he got 7-8 blackies with armageddon, and my main hero, a Falagar the Warlock with a lightning rod, was worthless vs his main man Crodo. Our first encounter went like this: I zapped as many of his non-dragon troops as I could then retreated. My own 4 black dragons didn't stand much of a chance.
What I did next was gather as large an Undead army as I could, then avoided Crodo and headed straight north and systematically conquered each warlock castle one by one. When I got to the fourth one my undead army was all but annihilated, but I had four castles producing black dragons now, and thankfully Crodo busied himself with taking my undefended Necro, Barb, and starting Warlock castle. Long story short, it all went downhill for Yellow from there.
Final ranking: Unicorn. Time to win: 97 days. ( I'd like to mention that I never save the game, and never reload at all)
I opened up the map in the editor and found out in awe that two of yellow's castle started with a green tower, and all 4 of them with a hydra swamp!
It would be interesting to change this map with the enemy all using the Good guys' castles.

They say picture is worthy of thousand words
(Or another, more deadly variant. I was actually able to take out 17 Megadragons with Efreeti suite. Hmmm.. )
So, let that serves as a reminder, that I'm still playing h3 or h4.
(More h4 now, because I don't need to switching the resolution modes, still waiting on the promised WoG 3.59 wit "colours" patch, ..working patch)
PS Do you know that someone kind repaired imagebot for imageshack, and it can be used again?

Oh man... those pics reminds me how cool the menu and stuff looked in H4, which made the annoying creature looks (bar a few) that much worse...

I think, we can accept that. Name of the thread is after-action report, although it was opened to celebrate "old'n good games". Thus is sorted in the H1-4 subforum.
So, for me, the link is perfect solution.
(But it reminds me something about asian and europian mentality difference. Where we do not live so much for submitting records, duels, points, racing eee.. different approach to education, different life style. )

Since HoMM V largely mirrors/builds on HoMM III, I find this uninspired comment to be nothing more than a slap in your own face.UndeadHalfOrc wrote:There is already a dedicated heroes 5 forum. Why pester this (H1-4) forum with posts about this crappy game made by even crappier developers?
Jesus saves, Allah forgives, Cthulhu thinks you'd make a nice sandwich.
Evidently because H5 games are welcome as well (see first post).UndeadHalfOrc wrote:There is already a dedicated heroes 5 forum. Why pester this (H1-4) forum with posts about this crappy game made by even crappier developers?
I'm a hypocrite because I suggested that all life is sacred and should not be wasted without good reason.
No, that was a mistake in my writing I got confused dealing with the end of the first turn of every week ... Ossir reached level 15 at the end of the first turn in the 3rd week, not 2nd (15 turns in). He was level 9 at the end of the first turn in the 2nd week (8 turns in).

Well I never noticed, I just went ahead and beat every neutral stack I could. At some point I stopped taking gold and took experience instead, which worked fine since I was never critically short on gold (and I had Windmills and such). Would've been even better if I could steal my ally's gold mine
Anyway just finished the game and posted the rest of the AAR. It's the first I've ever written. gg! Now if only I could say I've beaten Galactic Civilizations II on the hardest difficulty too ...
