why is conflux a shit?

>3
Kys my man

Somebody on /vr/ said that best hero for Inferno is from another town, who did he imply?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Inferno

there is anything that will help me play better with friends?
>meme skeletons
>meme demon spawning
>make 1 unit
>using wait
>armageddon strat
I want to win with the hardest level of AI

Still, question is up.
I think about Terek, haste+tactics is probably make all these walking units act fast and reach everyone.

>played HoMM3 since I was 8
>didn't even know there were so many various strategies until I started browsing /vr/

I feel like I'm living HoMM3 renaissance right now

All inferno heeoes suxk. There are several better heroes for inferno from other towns

What was the name of that HOMM knockoff that had hand painted 2D graphics too?

youtube.com/watch?v=sw8v5__Ytf4

you all need to see this, 10/10 masterpiece sseth does it again.

HoMM2 is superior. Discuss.

>HoMM2

Town screens not immersive enough. That's the main hook of HOMM3.

Disciples?

It wasn't very popular. I just remember it had the same lush bright graphics and thick forests. Could've been a mod.

I'd rather have HoMM2's focus on clarity than 3's focus on "immersion."

Then you might as well play 5 if all you care about is mechanics.

I can tell where to buy shit in 2. I can't tell where to buy shit in 3 because of its garbage art direction. Also, 3's pre-rendered sprites are ugly as hell.

Hastily assembled mess to fill in for the Forge that got REEEEEEE'd out of the game.

That pissed me off. There's been sci-fi shit in Might and Magic since game 1, then people throw a hissy fit about it when it makes it into the spin-off series.

Believe it or not, some people that played HoMM never played MM.

You did play her faction, right Sup Forums?

Maybe age of wonders?

Eador maybe?

I would have been down with the forge if its units weren't copypasted cyborg versions of other creatures, and if they did more of an effort to blend the sci-fi and high fantasy aesthetics.

>Phoenix with top speed
>cast Armageddon, retreat. Repeat

Won one 2v2 game with friends using that tactic.

Still I prefer bastion or fortress.

>can't tell how much damage your troops will do
>can't tell how much damage your spell will do
>no wait button

They could have made Inferno the advanced alien race, but noooooooooooooooooooooo.

It was Battle of Wesnoth

And angels are robots.

it just isn't
I get that it has that appeal with it's pixel art that pushes contrarians to love it, but it's barebones compared to 3.
Just wait for SUCC and then start talking about that instead

SUCC?

Succubus wars, the H-campaign for H3 that has been stuck in development for years.

I thought it was some successor project with unfortunate initials.

Disappointing.

You can just buy units at the castle
And after a while you remember where the town hall is by heart

Inferno is not as bad in V as it was in III but I personally hate in beginning how monotonous the gating is and you have to sit through even small battles to minimize the losses. Also they are still horrible against ranged enemy. It's manageable in single player games but in multiplayer their turns tend to be stretch.

Ideal HoMM game
- Fundamental systems from H3
- Skill system and ATB from H5
- Scripting capabilities from H4
- Art design from H2
- Limited AOC from H7

Discuss

What's ATB (Active Time Battle?) and AOC?

moddb.com/mods/h3sw

Initiative-based movement system and area of control

>Art design from H2
nah give us hand painted sprites in the style of renaissance art if this is going to be the ideal game

>can't tell how much damage your troops will do
You can check your troops during battle and manually calculate the damage they'll do.

>can't tell how much damage your spell will do
Alright, I don't remember if this is in the game or not.

>no wait button
There's a skip unit button.

Blissfully they weren't that autistic

More like true death of it. The correct way to play HoMM is to whimsically make decisions on fly and enjoy the music. The reason why the series never achieved 2/3 peak again, the games which followed were tailored for "gamers" in one way or another.

meh just sucking up to the fanbase for cred

He literally took a shit on the community in that multiiplayer portion of the video.

>The reason why the series never achieved 2/3 peak again, the games which followed were tailored for "gamers" in one way or another.
No, the real reason is that none of the later games were even fucking finishes when they released

>taking anything Sseth says seriously
I wonder if ((Merchants' Guild)) is behind this post

Any other map-making autists here?

I wonder if H3 has so many versus games up because players compete in who can make the most whimsical decision, listen to more music or be the further from the definition of "gamer".

Is it worth giving this game a try?

Actually the reason is that blue swirl logo.
You know which one I'm talking about.

You know that they update that shit elsewhere right
Look through the community thread

Yup he straight up says that the multiplayer is cancer due to all the slavs people using the game's many exploits, imbalances and broken mechanics to win.

tower is fucking overpowered SHIT

Eh, it's fine. It's more similar to Fire Emblem than HoMM, though. It has been around for a long time, but it's supposed to be coming on Steam later this year. Perhaps it'll get a bit more popular.

No, he says multiplayer is unfun because they're trying to take a crazy unbalanced game and turn it into an esport. Are you an ESL or something? It's not that hard to comprehend.

You do realize that you just repeated what he said, right?

No, it's actually two completely opposite things.

Looks pretty

You must relearn how to comprehend reading, user

youtube.com/watch?v=J9byl59_VeY

You mean underpowered, too expansive.

Nobody except autistic slavs is trying to turn it into an esport. He's making fun of the game's inherent brokenness in multi.
The problem is that the game is so retardedly imbalanced, that picking the right castle/main hero on the right map, can make one of the players simply unbeatable. Ex. the necro/diplo/conflux thing on VL maps.
That's not an issue in comfy single player.

Did he said anything about the stolen intro?
Did anyone asked?

>necro/diplo/conflux
Banned.
Also they play on randomly generated template.

Add animations from H6 and you're set.

In my opinion, Heroes 6 is arguably the best HOMM since 3.

Your opinion is shit.

Бyквaльнo

It feels like slavs are the only people who still play homm3. Every thread, every discussion there are slavs

>have the most comfy town in the entire game
>never bring it back in future installments
Fuck Ubisoft

>dat town theme
Holy shit i played homm series since 3rd game was released and still cant get enough of the soundtrack and this theme in particular.

Is there any mod that rebalances the game?

Я пpямo ceйчac игpaю. Пocлe дecяткa лeт paшa кaпитoлия oчeнь нeoбычнo игpaть чepeз жилищa.

horn of the abyss
but then it adds their own town that's busted :-)

There is one fan made "expansion" - wake of gods which adds another level of creatures and a bunch of other shit. It's utterly unbalanced and overall done in pretty bad taste, but I managed to have some fun with it.
Also there is a fan made city that I forgot the name of, kinda sea themed with a bunch of ships and stuff. It falls very short of any og city, but can still shake things up for you

Lack of consoles made us develop good taste in PC games I guess. Degenerate westerners are too busy bing-bing-wahooing to give a fuck about strategy games.

mighty gorgon spam
diplomacy

Not robots exactly, more like genetically-engineered super-humans with mechanical augmentations.

WoG is pretty modular though. You balance it how you like.

>meet other asian who enjoying Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and CK 2
good time

>play the game for about 10 years now
>still shit at it
most of the time i reboot it just for the music

Well, technically, there is a Fortress in Heroes V and it looks rather comfy.

It looks like shit.
A hole down an active volcano down which you can't see a thing with buildings on the sides of said volcano, it's like you WANT your shit to collapse and fall into magma. Looks like some dumb 10 years old came up with that shit.

BATTLE BRUTHAS

Nice one.
Back in the day I made pretty maps and my younger brother played them. He picked castle with lord Haart every fucking time.
Those were good times.

On the contrary, as long as you don't get drunk and fall off the railing, it looks like a nice place to be in the middle of harsh winter - no heating or cooking bills! I admit it would be retarded living there if there was any seismic activity, but other cities in Heroes V (such as Necropolis and Dungeon) have more egregious design flaws.

>muh realism
maybe this series isn't for you, user

homm 7 > 5 > 3

What's wrong with dungeon?

is might and magic heroes 6 worth playing ?? i know the latest one, the 7, is horrible but i heard good things about 6, so im gonna pirate it soon, is it worth ?

Fortress in 5 is the same stuff just rebranded as dwrfs. Wich makes more sense for defensive faction to be honest.
Also Fortress in 3 looks mediocre.

do you like getting raped by the dice EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TURN?

git gud
