They were added to editor in one of latest patches, so make sure you have game version 1.8 first:

Somebody that actually managed to place shooters in the tower please tell me how you did it.

It seems you don't understand our answers.
During the tactics phase, drag and drop a stack of shooters into the central tower. But, as I said, it doesn't always work. I don't know why.

Drag and drop is the first thing I've tried and it never worked for me all it does is dropping the shooters out of the battle, well, thanks for your answer, now at least I know it's just another of this game's endless string of bugs.

I've had the exact same problem. Except dragging and dropping during the tactics phase has never worked and I also haven't been able to make a creature walk into the central tower during a battle.

Walking into the tower works for me. I haven't tried tactics though.

Is there a way to disable/remove the screen that says "press any key to start the game"?

[Avonu]

Yes, there is.

Go to Documents HoMM6/User name folder, open ProfileData file with for example Notepad and search for:

<LoadingscreenWaitForKeypress>true</LoadingscreenWaitForKeypress>

Change true to false and you no longer need to hit any key (not to mention to find the key first ).

Thanks a lot, really helpful.

hello. new to the game, have some simple(?) questions.
only one for starters:)

now playing Necropolis campaign.

sometimes during battles I am able to resurrect Lamasu creatures and sometimes I can't (though can every other creature). why's that?

Check if you have appropiate skill level and charge.

[elementaritas]

oh, it's not enough charge sometimes, since during same battle sometimes I can and sometimes cannot resurrect them.

different kind of question - I have two artifacts my heroes carries that I do not know purpose/powers. it's Golden Egg (Mysterious Egg) and Pretty Comb (Quest Item). Can I do something useful with them? Because it's already 4th map of campaign and I think this Pretty Comb lied in my backpack since 1st or 2nd map without any usage..

Golden Egg become Golden Goose, generating you some money. Needs some time to be hatched
Comb will be needed at right time, that's all what I can say without spoiling the story.

Is your game fully patched? What version of the game are you playing?
It may be damaged save, or you encountered something new and buggy.

thank you!

yes, it's full and newest edition.
I believe it's "not enough charge" issue, because when it's half full it says "resurrect Core creatures", and then it's more than that it says "resurrect Core and Elite creatures".

one more quick question:
is there any reason to convert Fort to your faction besides that you can recruit your faction's units there? it doesn't increase the growth of units like Barracks do, does it?

Yes, it does. In addition you will get more money.
And the month income is probably the reason, why computer everytime do the same. It's quite fun to watch.

as I've already finished Necropolis campaign, now I have question about Haven faction:).
let's say I have Marksmen and Sentinel standing next to each other, and Sentinel has Guardian Angel.
enemy strikes Marksmen with 200 damage. does he take all 200, if not, what % goes to Sentinel?

[Pol]

Honestly, I don't remember. Damage is absorbed together somehow, it's some time when I was playing this game. The following link to Skill Wheel should help you.

If you right click the Sentinel it should show its abilities. Checking them all will reveal the ability that redirects damage how much damage is redirected, which should give the percentage. Off the top of my head (I never committed the number to memory) it is ~50%. In the situation you describe, I'm pretty sure the damage done to the Marksmen is reduced, while the damage done to the Sentinel is negated.

[elementaritas]

now playing Sanctuary campaign:).

did I encounter bug or am I not understanding something?

I have magic/tears hero and just reached new level of tears which gave Serenity spell.
it says that it charms enemy and he cannot move/act/use special ability for 2 turns unless target is attacked.
however, I use it in the first turn, then just hit shield button with all my creatures and still enemy target acts on 2nd turn.
anyone can explain?

[Avonu]

Black Hole came to mind that turn = unit's turn, not player's turn. For example: move after morale bonus is another turn, defending takes also one turn, etc.

[c1a1]

O.K. another question:
Anybody knows why Irina's spell cost 33% more to cast? (always, it's not a weekly thing or equipment she has, always, in all the campain chapters)
like summon earth elemental cost 60 mana instead of 45, regenerate 33 instead of 25 etc.
I'm sure there is a simple explanation, thogh I'm missing it.
