Why do olden era attracts schizoids so much? Wherever I go I constantly see same retarded points and takes, same manner of speech (text) I was reading that it's possibly some slav who's hosting servers for hota, or homm 3 fans who are afraid that people will stop streaming and playing homm iii
>>738441609Autistic genre full of 35yo nerds who like only one specific game from the series. Probably barely played other entries. And if they, did that was like 10 years ago. Flamewars and vitriol are inevitable.
there's a dedicated schizo who has been shitting up the threads here since the demo came out months agonot an uncommon thing for /v/ desu, just learn to recognize him and don't feed him (You)s
>>738441609Happens with a lot of games. There are dedicated "communities" who will shit on any new game in the series because they're afraid it will siphon off members of the community. They're comfortable knowing everything about the old game. All the strats, all the best ways to win, all the best builds. They want to remain the king on their little hill. They don't want to be forced to learn something new and potentially not be king anymore
>>738441609Homm 3 has been the staple for decades now. And olden era has the actual possibility of dethroning it by modernizing it, and rebalancing long outstanding issues, while not changing the gameplay.So there is a very vested interest for a few schizoids that made that game their life to shit up the new one. Or they are just a sperg and off their meds. Maybe their bottom surgery did not go well and are now lashing out.
>>738441609GL with your transition faggot, and your nigger faggot game.
>>738441931>>738442682>>738443346>>738443469>.... and then I woke up with kittenhorn dildo up in my assThat's wonderful story.
>>738441609Just fuck off and pay youtubers to shill your shit like a normal dev.
>>738444158Yep, there it is.
BTW I will claim her as my waifu. So hands off you degenerates.
I felt like buying it for a week now but in the end i dont know, not into campaign and im gonna get rolled in pvp for 10h and never learn shit because the game is insanely complicatedAlso pvp might just die, the whole shtick about homm 3 pvp being alive is that they just pretty much all know each other and play vs same ppl all the time.The noobs get to play vs noobs, the pros get to play vs pros. There is no toxicity or smurfing because its just people who want to spend time after work in comfy environment.Skill-based garbage just wont work in a long run
>>738446307The fun bit with pvp in homm for me, is that its basically pve anyway, with 1 pvp fight and then you go another map. So far I personally had quite a lot of fun just running the templates against the AI, but I would really like more scenario maps, only a handful out for now.
>>738446307If you want to get into PvP, then this is basically the best possible time. Plenty of people just trying to figure out what works, instead of doing any established meta.But personally, I just stick to PvE anyway, and that's fun for me. You don't need to do multiplayer at all to have fun.
It's also quite probably an ukrainian>>738444014>>738444158>>738444235Right on time, stop same posting
>>738446307Just play with your friends against AI. It also fun in a way.
slavs are miserable weirdos
>>738446617Friends?
I wont quote you guys, because its to much replies giving samey answer, but why do you think people still play the same game for 30y? I understand when the game is good and you keep returning to it once every dozen months, but its not the case.What the drive of the person that locks himself up mentaly in one, repetetive activity?Is it masturbatory? Is it only autism? How come some people can grow out of it after 10y+ but others just keeps on doing it to the end of their lives?
>>738441609Developers are Russian and gigabased
>>738414141Any luck?
>>738447930Not that anon, but I did beat one on those settings. I was practicing temple, and the enemy ended up being grove. And I just rolled him hard. I will say that that was after I lost like 5 rounds against the AI with the insect faction. So I think I got a little lucky as well because the AI army was significantly smaller to what I faced before.
>>738450816What settings and map were you playing?Every time I try tournament map with Hard AI it gets double the unit amount.AI clearly doesn't invest in economy early and goes all in on the unit production. It starts with 20k gold and more resources than you as well.
>ranked PvP >all the "PvP" maps are mostly just PvE anywayshuh
>>738446121For me it's picrel.She can fix me/make me worse.
>>738446121For me its Sullie
>>738450979It was the same settings as in that image, so 125% for resources and army difficulty and normal difficulty AI, and the map I ran were harmony and highway. Not sure on which one I defeated the AI, but I only spammed those 2 maps.
dogshit EARLY ACCESS slop
wasnt really sold on the game but the campaign map with the 4 angels was pretty good tbf I see potential that was the first and only map so far that made me go : just 1 more turn
>>738452107Alright so you didn't play with Hard AI at all, that's what I was struggling with on single hero Tournament maps.Quick Start doesn't have Hard AI unless you also go with at least Impossible difficulty.Try playing custom tournament map with 100% eco/camp difficulty and Hard AI.
>>738452413Oooh gotcha, I just saw the image, I missed that you specified hard AI. My bad.
Was honestly looking forward to this game and I went into it blind. Got to say I'm actually positively surprised and hoping it will get even better in time along with eventual mod support which will inevitable see homm3 factions ported in with modernized models and animations.
literally whenever i check catalog shills are shilling this piece of garbage just fuck off nigger nobody cares about your ai slop generated mobile game samefagging and lying day and night is what unfrozen shill furfaggot niggers do, and that is you
Do you guys think that Ubisoft will allow slavs to make more homm games after olden era? It sells well for such niche game from niche series from niche genre, and online is still pretty high, maybe it will be even bigger after full release>>738453807Thanks for the bump, I really appreciate it
>>738454102kys and go back to reddt nigger shill
>>738454102how big is the biggest cock you´ve taken up the ass thus far ?
the heroes in this look bad like tumblr artworks no buy
why can't I upgrade town halls in the campaign? is this a bug? its unlocked but the construct button is greyed out.
>>738454712You need to choose the one +500gold option before building, like you do for walls.
>>738441609When you get old you have a high chance of just replaying same game over and over again and not accepting anything new. Most homm3 fags are old.
You have to understand that homm3fags are not homm fans. They are homm3fags. They range from having not played since their childhoold to played once 6 years ago for nostalgia. They don't actually play homm3 often, never mind other homm games such as 2, 4 and 5 which are also all varying degrees of excellentThey are tourists who don't realise they're tourists. Very sad
>>738454917why are we acting like new type of wheel was invented here when this is 8th game in the series? lol
>>738447470Ask Kasparov.
>>738455092>game version with most active fanbase is also the one with tourists, non-real fans and poserswow reddit nigger king shill etharil really is not sending his best huh the fact that youi cannot even point out what is so great about this game and all you do is cry, whine and moan about some le schizos le hating on you for totally no le reason is pretty telling

>>738455426Based on the iconic game, the best "Undertale cake" is Toriel’s Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie, which acts as the game's central, healing dessert. This sweet, creamy pie combines brown sugar, butterscotch, and cinnamon for a nostalgic, comforting taste. Toriel's Butterscotch Cinnamon PiePrep time: 20 mins | Cook time: 40 mins | Servings: 8 IngredientsCrust: 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust.Filling:1 cup dark brown sugar, packed4 tbsp unsalted butter2 cups half & half (or 1.5 cups milk + 0.5 cup heavy cream)5 egg yolks (beaten)4 tbsp cornstarch1 tbsp ground cinnamon1 tbsp vanilla extract1/2 tsp saltTopping: Whipped cream and extra cinnamon for dusting.InstructionsPrepare Filling: In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together over medium heat until bubbly.Add Liquid: Slowly whisk in the half & half (or milk/cream mixture) and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer.Thicken: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and cornstarch. Slowly pour about half of the hot sugar mixture into the yolks while whisking constantly (to temper). Pour everything back into the saucepan.Cook: Whisk continuously over medium heat until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.Finish & Cool: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt. Pour into the baked pie crust and let it cool completely (at least 1-2 hours) to set.Serve: Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
Why do they have Ciri on the cover and why does she look better aged here than on CDPR's Bogger 4 art?
>Templar (Christianity) is actually the bad guys xD>Dungeon (refugees) are the good guys !
>>738452413Ok, retried it, and on 100 eco/camp and Hard AI this was my first battle. Definitely seems doable, but you are a bit at the whims of the map gen/hero selection.
>>738455670where are your upgraded reavers nigga, that's the best hive unit, and you've only got 3 unupgraded
>>738455350>>738455514I actually think that it's even better than homm IIICampaign for example>Returned branching paths from homm 2>campaign itself looks better, actual dialogues (even have pretty good voice acting sometimes) like in later games>little side quests in missions>maps have interactive shit like bridge you can repair>you can actually avoid fights if you choose right dialogue option
>>738455874so... um.. half baked game... with campaign literally being unfinished with a writing for about 6 year olds is better to you than fully playable campaign? wow, enjoy slop era my friend
>>738455814Bro... I am the necro.
>you can't even walk or invade the enemy players in the majority of PvP maps>the entire concept of castles and castle siege is redundant it's like the devs never played a HoMM game before
>>738441609>everyone who doesn't like lazy nostalgiabait trash is one personthe only schizoid here is you lmao
>>738456461ohthen you've got a pretty huge adventage, I thought you said the enemy had the way bigger army
>>738456023Yes, it hurts when EA unfinished campaign is better than your favorite game, don't be ashamed to cry
Poles will never become white.
>>738456630Oh, nah. Its odd, because it definitely seems to just randomly underperform. Maybe it is a map issue. But yeah, this one is easy, I am absolutely rolling over the AI at this point but I did have a good start. And even if I forgot to buy out units for the second battle, he did not even have a fraction of my army.
Am I stupid or is summom avatar complete garbage?even on a mage there always feels to be a better spell to cast
are there any maps to play besides campaign and the 7 secenarios that are normal?i always disliked random maps and already finished campaign and scenarios
>>738457409Its an early game booster. Its free, so you are not worried about mana, and it lets you take some fairly rough objectives with minimal or no losses early on.But yes, later, when you have basically infinite mana and higher level spells, it falls off hard. But since the game is about who gets the snowball rolling first, having a shit first week can be damning.
Bought the game, tried the challenges.Im failing at the spell one for 2hours now
>>738457648I still havent beaten 1 of them and I am a heroes 3 vet
>>738456862>seething about Poles out of nowhere
>week of destruction>this week players can't build buildingsCool story bro
>>738457684nevermind all i needed was to rant on /v/ and finally figured how to manipulate those fucksbut idk how is that any useful for actual game, i will never end up in a scenario where i cant tank even 1 hit
>>738457875Its to teach you that you can fight fights way above your power level if you use your stacks/spells in a clever way. And sometimes having a smaller army is a boon, since you can kite enemies better, and take fewer losses.
>>738457875It's more about teaching the power of upgrading artifacts and spells.
>>738455670It seems AI can't handle hive.This is what I get after 10 days on exodus classic.
>>738458102Single hero, just a version of exodus map.
Can someone explain to me the appeal of "PvP" in this game?You just pick a map and the layout will be close to identical every single game, so your playstyle will be close to the exact everyone single game as well... and the only interaction you have with the other play is fighting them sometime after X amount of weeks.So castles and all spells with that are actually useless and the PvP aspect is barely even a thing?
>>738458102Its odd, the previous runs I had were with me temple and enemy hive, and he would absolutely shit on me with multiple hive queens in the first fight. The last one where I won, he was still hive and suddenly had no army. So I suspect that the AI does not actually cheat AS much, but it just does the early fights with a boost, so they drown in resources.
>>738457819>week of destruction>doesn't destroy all your buildingsShame.
>>738458368pvp is just pve and knowledge about the game and units themselves, all leading up to getting stronger than your opponent in the final confrontationits just a knowledge check and some minimal rng
>>738457409>there always feels to be a better spell to castIt's true. But as a mage you get the skill where you can cast a second spell from another school and with an increased cost. Avatar is a whole separate school and it costs 0, so it makes for a perfect second cast.
>>738458558I mean on a very rudimentary level sure. But as you get better, knowing when you are ahead to push your advantage, or when you are behind to try and catch up by going for risky plays is also an important bit. And in classic maps knowing how to choke out the enemy without him constantly grabbing back his stuff is also part of a skill.
>>738458502By cheating I mostly mean, they start with more resources and it know exactly where everything is. I wonder if I was able to see whole map from the start if I would get significantly bigger army as a result.Because pandoras boxes are huge power spikes.
If i want to learn for pvp in the single player skirmishes vs ai which difficulty do i play? Hard?
>>738452110nice post, but try fitting in more buzzwords next time
>>738458998PvP matches have 100% economic and neutral camp difficulty.So you should only try different AI difficulty, start with Normal it got dumbed down recently if you have no problems beating that try Hard.
>get extra moral on your main units>win the fightnice game
>>738458957Yeah pandora boxes are huge. What gets me is high rolling on a guard. As in the objectives that reward resources. Sometimes I have to go for them to be able to build up, but if it rolls the toughest guard, there is no chance for me to beat it, so I wasted turns walking there and back, if you would know the guards in advance like the AI probably does, it would be so much easier.
>>738456862They have no need to become something they already are
>>738456825when did i ever say i even like heroes 3? my favorite is 5 and this shit looks like ai generated mobile version of it, laughable
>>738447930yeah, i played a few games yesterday on exodus classic with 100% economy and neutrals with unfair ai. rerolled it a few times in the first week until i got a good enough feeling for it but for the match i won, didn't save scum at all.>week 1 fightplayed dungeon with the dark magic specialty guy. ai randomed into dungeon troglodyte hero. got my ass kicked. felt like it was straight up cheating. i think it had something like 10x the mana and much better might stats too.>week 2 fightbasically built towards cave dragons and 100% increase in growth. had medusas and minotaurs and dancers but no other dwellings, including any upgrades. still got my ass kicked.>week 3 fightpic related. was bo5 so i had to win this one. ai had an insane amount of t1s as per his specialty but rest of army wasn't significantly better. he kept grouping up his units which got me a bunch of multi hits off with dragons. also researched starchildren and they were insanely strong. got a chunky aoe attack on his t1, t2, and t4 necro dudes.>week 4 fightupgraded my t7 and cleared an external one so i got 1 black dragon and 5 ashen dragons. his stats were still better but not absurdly so. army was a lot more even, won easily. same as before, summoned star kids and debuffed him. spent focus on mino and dragon abilities.>week 5 fightai had absurdly better stats than me. only my spellpower was kinda close. starchildren was once again amazing. switched to dragon stance and popped like 150 of them. i took the resistance perk that does damage against summons in case he had wanted to summon shit too but he didn't. ai had a shitload of trogs at this point but i had the -2 max life perk from nightshade + resistance so it helped. won it.
>>738460179armies in 4th fight.
>>738459442moral and luck should be deleted from the game, it's unbalanced and not fun
>>738459442>fight neutrals>they get morale turn one>unrecoverable lossLuck is a skill, btw.
>>738447930I'm just playing now. First time trying the tournamet, do the fights happen on a random day each day?Anyway, playing Hive against Temple with hard AI, hard starting resources and even harder neutrals. I lost the first fight, but it was a fairly close call. Just now had the second fight and I won by the skin of my teeth. It's definitely rough, and I'm not sure what skills or artifacts the enemy hero has, by he's making my spells cost several times more than they should, which sucks since I wanted to lean into primal magic.We'll see how the third week will go.
>>7384603365th fight. he still had priority over me even though i had -2 prio boots and black dragons instead of ashen.
The single hero maps in ranked multiplayer are way too static.
>>738460591fight summary.
>auto result barely loses units>try battle>get rapedmade me laugh
>>738460734my hero on the last day.
Am I just supposed to quit if I lose one fight? Since I lost all my units, the otherside will just constantly have more units every week. How do you come back from that?
>>738461907Yes
>>738461907You can comeback if you flee/surrender, but if the hero dies it's a gg
replay feature not yet a feature? It doesn't work
>>738460336>>738460179I think AI isn't very good at using spells, it simply casts the highest level and it doesn't bother with upgrading them in the mage guild.
New patch.
>>738460573>Anon diedRiP.
>>738446121Imagine the pegging
Wich random template has the least towns?
>>738447470dunno about other faggots but "I've played this game since I was a child" means that I reinstall it now and then across the aeons and play for a week or a couple of matches, whichever comes first.Same with all games, I've played dwarf fortress since I was in high school and that means it is on my computer and I make a fort when toady makes a big update. I've played Skyrim and Oblivion for just as long and it's because some huge mod project is finished and I check it out.I don't see much difference between a person no-lifing a single game any different from someone who plays the same sport from childhood to retirement
>>738441609>Wherever I go I constantly see same retarded points and takesIts not just this game. That is the internet. Its always the most schizo and fucked up people being the most vocal. Try to be reasonably good at a game and then go to the games official forums and read the shit those people say. Its the worst of the worst opinions from the worst players of that game. The internet is like a dark alternate reality where modern day wretches and scum live and share their decaying spirit and try to infest everything good with their misery. 100 years ago they would be rotting in a cabin in some creek only bothering the birds and the worms and whoever was so unlucky to walk in to their den.
>>738447470What is Counter StrikeWhat is Starcraftretard, if a game is good it will be played for half a decade if not longer, i understand consoletroons cant grasp playing one game and have to jump from one 100$ turd to another but please stay on those containment threads
>>738464436I'm not sure but there are template editors online, so you can customize maps to your liking.
>>738462728probably the easiest way to beat the ai since they'll always outcompete on pure stats and army size. i think my summons were hitting harder than even the t7 stack. also trog dude's spellcasting didn't feel impactful, even with all that sp in the endgame. wasn't paying much attention to what he was doing lot of the time but it was random shit like he was dropping ice bolts and guillotines on my star summons. he might've also been focused on dark magic and got locked out of it from the hero specialty. that specialty feels like bs desu.
>according to my calculations, with this amount of speed versus my opponents mobs speed, with this initiative and with this spell I could pull it off if I cockblock with 1 stacks and>"high morale! u lose"nice game
>>738465629I'll try rushing mage tower iv and pumping as many resources into hero magic scaling.Summoning a stack of upgraded star-chicks should basically win any early game encounter.
>>738462728I had couple of games where Temple AI really fucked my shit up with mass buff/debuff spells, so I'm at weary of these kinds of heroes now. Wean is a must for me.
>literally never lose when picking daylight magicCorrelation does imply causation
So the PvP in this game is just about collecting boxes?
>>738466006I wish there was a spell or a unit that could "Yoink!" all buffs from the target. Or maybe it's there already and I have no clue.
>>738466294it's basically warcraft3 pvp, but turn-based
>>738466105Yeah, daylight is the best. It really has everything, and every level there are at least 2 useful spells.Twilight and Nightshade are not as good, but still great. Primal seems weaker, but it works nicely on Hive, since they've got +1 primal level and I think like 30% bonus magic damage from laws, and an additional 25% bonus magic damage from the T7 unit.
