Never played, but looks like The Battle for Wesnoth, which I loved back in the day.

I've been playing it recently and it's my first HoMM, I like it but sometimes it takes me hours to clear a single map and I've only beat about 4 levels in the main campaign. Beautiful music and good art direction, the gameplay is fine but I really hate it when the game throws you against 3 CPUs and all they do is sneak around and Flee after unloading all their magic on you, I normally hire about 3 heroes but sometimes I feel like I should get more.

Cool, I'll take your word for it.
I pirated the game then patched it with your mod then uploaded it to MEGA to swap to my steam deck and ran it as a non-steam game with proton. It works. Gonna go lie in bed and play it now.

I was just looking at HoMM 2 OST and noticed the town themes are completely different songs than the ones that play in my game and now I'm weirded out, I'm playing the Gold version from GOG (could be a really outdated version) and it just plays the same music for both the main campaign and the expansion, did they really just replace the original music instead of keeping both?

Also, is fheroes2 a must? the game seems to work well for the most part on my laptop.

Game is broken for range units

>>739621307
between vanilla MIDI, expansion midi and CD audio there's been a lot of music witching, if you're on fheroes you can try all of them, personally I swear by soundcanvas midi

I fucking love that video.

>>739621791
wouldn't say that, but you have to play around flying units a lot

one thing OP could do is split the gargoyles into 4 stacks and surround his centaurs with them. They are faster than fairies so they take turn before them

you can also just wait till you get some cheap hydras and ditch other units when fighting against fairies. They will likely oneshot all fairies surrounding them with a single attack

I also found it fun how you could do things like play with a "weak" town like knight but fish for a wizard hero simply to get your hands on a few gargoyles and obliterate enemy archer stacks by blocking them with the gargoyles and finishing them off with your rangers

overall I just loved how much more assymetry there was between towns. Like yeah it wasn't as competitively balanced but for a single player game it added a lot more interesting situations
>>
>>739621307
fheroes2 adds the ingame option to change soundtracks between original and the new one added after the expansion

and yeah you should definitely get it. You can still play the game in original resolution if you want to (and frankly you really shouldn't raise it much higher anyway since all it does is zoom the game out and ruin the intended aesthetics), but it adds a ton of cool little features and quality of life improvements, like hotkeys to split stacsk quickly with ctrl

1 main hero, then keep hiring secondaries that give their troops to the main one and collect map pick ups and scout

I prefer the first one simply because the spritework in both battles and towns is miles better and make the game way comfier.
>>
>>739612173
It's really not the same game than Wesnoth.
Think Total War but good, and with turn-based battles.

in H1 castle had the week 1 nuke of cost effeective and powerful Cavalry/Paladin combo going on, with the rest of the creatures being filler but affordable, They fell off some weeks after but the early power was great. I feel that the castle faction fell victim to the general powercreep going on in H2. Their paladins can wreck undead, other than that eh
