Other/Fluff AI posts are banned.

334 Upvotes

There was a community post centered on discussion for it. I left it up for longer then I said I would to get more input. The general consensus is either "ban it" or "only 1 day a week".

In looking back over the AI posts that come into the sub, and the heroes 3 sub, they fall into 1 of 2 categories.

The first are users who post links to AI but have never participated in this sub or the heroes 3 sub in any way other then their links. In other words, they are drive by low effort karma farming.
The second is users who have participated but post "hate fetish" for lack of better word. They claim its slop, that its bad, but they still post it. And they post stating that its bad. Why would you share something you think is bad just to get others to hate it? That creates a negative vibe that I don't want here.

I believe that AI as a functioning system has a place in society at some point. It should help to automate jobs that humans don't want to do and provide cheaper, faster, and more reliable medical care in some cases. I say that as someone that works for a medical company that employs doctors. As an artist, I do not believe that AI should be used to make art. Be it images, movies, stories, shows, songs, or anything else for entertainment.

Other/Fluff [Didn't work out, sadly]. Overall, not being able to just solo the entire map with the strongest creature of the game was a bit of a disappointment for an inexperienced gamer back in the day, but I think there is something nostalgically charming in that kind of naivety.

HoMM3 - Vanilla/SoD/Complete. HoMM 3 HD edition

15 Upvotes

Like most here (I guess) I played HoMM as a kid. After all this time I wanna come back and noticed 2 things.

  1. HoMM 3 is considered one of the best

  2. We hate the HD edition. And my question is: why? Sorry I'm of course not up to date

Might and Magic - Lore related. Sci-fi 'enthusiasts' who don't actually know the lore, and spread toxic falsehoods about everything being a gotcha, are as bad as sci-fi deniers. There are franchises to this day where it's not an either-or, and people don't start wars over it.

HoMM4 HOMM 4 : morale. How does it go up or down ?

7 Upvotes

I tried searching online for information about morale, but I couldn't find anything that isn't already written in the game.

I know morale determines the order in which the characters will move, but how do you gain/lose morale ?

I know there are objects and skills (the commander skills) that help with morale, but so often I find myself with heroes having -6 morale, and others having +3, for reasons that elude me.

Also, I do not know how to get it back up.

Update : There seems to be two heroes conflicting against each other, and that apparently affects their morale. I have Darkstorm and Neela in my army, and whenever I remove either of them from the army, they both go from -6 to +1 morale. Again, no idea what's going on there. Temporary video to illustrate

HoMM OE Do you think HoMMOE will eventually surpass HoMM3?

16 Upvotes

As HoMMOE gets developed and improves over time, do you think it'll ever reach the point where it becomes the best HoMM game of all time? Or is it not happening?

HoMM OE HoMM OE: Campaign save corrupt somehow?

1 Upvotes

Playing the second mission in the campaign with Gunnar. Have had little time so I have loaded and saved it several time, but am now close to completing it. However when loading the save tonight, my hero is at the correct location where I left yesterday, the number of creatures he has is correct and the progress in the quest is also correct, but all my resources are '0', I don't have my starting city or any of the dwellings and, shrines I have visited, they are all greyed out. They haven't been captured by the other hero, but are just not claimed any longer. Anybody experienced that before?

Other/Fluff Where should I start?

9 Upvotes

Never played any of the games in the series but I'm intrigued. What's the best place to start right now?


r/HoMM 3d ago

Other/Fluff HoMM IV has won in the last category by a landslide. HoMM VI has secured its second place. Our honorable mentioned is HoMM VII(Though there were many comments supporting HoMM III and II) The main section of the list is over and the bonus section is coming soon.

Every category was filled according to the top comments submited by lots of heroes of this subreddit. There will be at least 4 bonus categories featuring topics that won't intersect with the main categories. You can suggest some of them if you want.

P.S. Glad to see that every part is here(except HoMM I which is really similiar to HoMM II that is on the list). I also think that Olden Era is not that explored and would probably secure more positions if it was released earlier.

HoMM2 fheroes2 Live Wallpaper for Android!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

130 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

The other day I released a Live Wallpaper on Android on Google Play featuring a live map from Heroes 2! Now you can enjoy the bright and colorful maps from your favorite game every day. Open source, free, no ads, no tracking.

Link to the source code, based on fheroes2: https://github.com/IlyaPomaskin/h2lwp

Link to Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ipapps.homm2.livewallpaper

Two common questions:

Can this be done on iPhone?
No, iPhone doesn't provide the capability to make animated wallpapers.

How's the battery consumption?
Less than one percent per day. The game runs at about 5 frames per second and the animation only works when the home screen is visible.

Other/Fluff Which 3d Game to Get?

2 Upvotes

I like 3, but some of the interface is confusing to me, and I miss the quality of life elements games from the Age of Empires 3 and onwards era had.

Which of the 3d HOMM game would you recommend for singleplayer on a Windows 11 PC? I like the skirmish mode, exploring a random map

HoMM2 homm2 Roland's last mission is the worst

9 Upvotes

i finished the archibald campaign, relatively easy.

now i got to the last mission in roland camagin (i have the crown), and its just too god damn hard.

you cant be aggressive, because there are to many strong enemies, and you cant sit still and easy your way to win.

i have a few ideas on how to try and approach the mission, but i wonder if you guys have some tips from past experience

HoMM1 HOMM1 new resolutions and working on MacOS ARM

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

47 Upvotes

I was on vacation for a few weeks and only had my Macbook (M1 Pro ARM processor) with me, so I got it working on MacOS so I could build a little bit and do some playtesting while I was on vacation. I wasn't that productive...

In addition to getting it working on MacOS, I fixed a few more bugs, added a basic scoring function for the end of the game, and just today I added a resolution toggle - should make future videos more watchable.

I have to have a few legal conversations before I can release this on the MacOS app store in Test Flight, but I'll be having those soon, and if all goes well, I can have something for testing in TestFlight in August. I think I can have up to 100 internal testers, and 10,000 external testers in the TestFlight version, so that is probably the easiest way to manage a beta test for now.

HoMM2 [HOMM2] Ok, there is no way I'll ever finish this scenario

What is even that ?

I am playing this scenario 'BalanceV2.0', wiped everyone out but am now stuck with this combat. How am I supposed to ever finish this πŸ˜‚

I can't blind, can't paralyze, can't berzerk. I can mass slow but it only delays the inevitable.

Anyone here went through this scenario ?
