ITS OUT
>>729854843Tldr? Hota got a new patch?
Is there no new campaign
>>729854843based
>>729857426new faction
>>729854843I really think they should've polished this for another year before a release.I dislike how half the town is just animals. It's very weird. There are so many norse mytholigical creatures they couldve used instead. Like gnomes and giants.Also, new skill and units seems gimmicky game play wise. But too early to be sure .
>>729858929>too many animalsSounds cool to me. Glad to see passionate devs making this, I mean HotA is free
The autistic obsession of the Russians to HOMM3 is truly a blessing. TZD has been delayed indefinitely.
>>729859420they have good taste in games
>literally just a modYou actually got me excited for a moment.
>>729859490don't worry, olden era comes out in a few months
>>729858929>gnomes>norse mythology creatures????
Why is it apparently impossible for game devs to just create a 1:1 carbon copy of HOMM3's game mechanics? I feel like every HOMM-like I tried afterwards introduced a change I didn't like.
>>729859742because if you want a carbon copy of homm3 you can just play the infinite amounts of scenarios and even some campaigns that are out there
>>729859570Would be nice if the visuals weren't chink dogshit>>729858929>Like gnomes and giants.But they do have giants? And kobolds are gnomes in one way or another>>729859742They do create the mechanics, what they can't do are HOMM3's visuals
>>729859839>Would be nice if the visuals weren't chink dogshitat least it looks better than homm5 and i have hundreds of hours in that game, luckily i dont care about graphics
>>729859490mods are made by soulful fans and have more soul in them than soulless games made with a paycheck. soul.
>all those new functions on the map editorJesus christ, even without the new faction this patch is insane
>>729859490This mod in particular is better than most full priced games released in the past 10 years.I’m not even a modfag and usually play games in their “vanilla” state, but HoMM3 with HotA is one of my exceptions. This is the de facto standard way to play HoMM3.
>Open HOMM3 custom map>look inside>enemy factions are given several months of unit growth and practically infinite resources every week (or month if you're lucky)>You of course get a polaroid of the dev mooning you delivered straight to your doorSomeone should make an "advanced techniques" map devoted to showing off all of the silly cheese strats
>>729860795There are a lot of "impossible" maps out there that I literally can't solve without looking it up
Anything new?
>>729860941MAGICAL RUNES
>>729860941New faction based on norse mythology, events in the map editor have been expanded with fork conditions (this is fucking HUGE), and the Runes skill which gives minor stat bonuses as the battle progresses, most notably to Speed.
>>729854843wtf is this faction
>>729862234fortress from homm5 but lame
>>729861393lmao
>>729862298What's lame about it?
>>729863114No dwarves
>>729863114runes are a completely different mechanic and suck as a gimmickno dwarfmaxxingno fire & lightning
>>729862234Snow-themed. Made to fill in the gap the campaign had when representing the Snow Elves of Vori, since they were forced to use Rampart for that originally.Its works well within the lore and plays fairly uniquely with Runes and shit.
>>729860941More russian trojans and viruses in your PC
stomped the fuck out of snow niggers
>>729863452How do you scale your interfaces in the hd mod like this
>>729861507QRD on the events?
>>729863807They have extended it a lot with branches/conditions and more stuff to choose from
>>729859570Sadly it looks like 38y old woman's dream about MLP and plays like ass, there is literally no reason to play it over HotA or HoMM5.5.From good news at least they somehow realised that King's Bounty combat system was shit and they're trying to change it.
>>729857892no, we need to wait for it
>>729863984This is going to start a new map-making renaissance.
>>729863452What are kobolds suppose to be? Like a rat or classic dog thing?
>>729865137Based on it's tail more of a rat
>>729860763yeah okay but I think I'll play HoMM 3 with just the HD mod instead
>>729859490hota is basically unofficial expansion like shadow of death, each new faction got their own campaign, there is also day of reckoning, which will follow up on events from original game
>>729865726Yes, you should do it first because HotA has its own campaigns.
