then less than soulfire I guess
at the beginning I thought it would inflict damage proportionnal to the distance travelled.

Apart from the amazingly sucky damage it also isn't a particularily good skill simply because it's a huge warning sign saying "I WENT DARK!!!" and you'll know from your first move on so it gives you a good head start preparationwise.

Not much you can do at that point, no? Perhaps cast magic immunity...

cast endurance instead of haste, position your units so that frenzy only has minimal effect, not use Dash, spread out so that mass Decay or Vulnerability don't effect you as much, as Stronghold you'd like to refrain from hasting your big critters (Except your Cyclopi if you have expert shatter dark), not cast mass buffs for which your opponent is likely to have the debuff (well there isn't any way to know really but thinking before casting may to you a little good).
I'm sure there's more but that was the stuff that came to mind off the top of my head.
Oh and of course you should try really hard to get your hero behind his. It's a huge pain if he goes directly or close after you. Unfortunately only Sylvan and Academy can maneuver their heroes good because of their 0.25 atb consuming moves (not counting the universal casting mass spells where he casts a single spell).

Short but accurate, so much is condensed in there about tactical reasoning  Btw sylvan doesn't have any 0.25 atb actions - not in tote anyway - but with mass haste and empathy..

Imbue arrow with imbue ballista is atb screwy isn't it?
In Azagal's post I was looking for the story of how he did all that stuff and lost because he forgot something obvious.

Imbue arrow doesn't delay atb anymore, I had edited it for a round in the tourney and now it's back to normal.

Fear not, it can always get worse The best losses are those when you control everything and one single mistake brings it all crashing down. The real losers call them victory donations, remember it's for a good cause.

I am not the best player ... I am not even close to it. I like to make my own moves, I don't like when somebody points me some kind of strategy and tells me ... "this is the right thing to do", so I need to discover things by myself. Well, yeah, I guess that sounds pretty good and fair, but I am always in some strange mood and I want to make a fast move and when I do that, there are many epic falls, as you have guessed. Or when I think about something else ... not all myself in the game I mean ... it happens, for example ... well ... I get attacked ... in my main town ... but it is early game ... don't have the castle yet. I have the recources and everything ... I just forgot to build it. I am very grateful I made that mistake when I played against the AI.
Another .... I dunno ... funny thing was in the beggining, one of my first games, maybe the second or the third, when I was playing Dungeon for the first time and I got into a battle, not so big ... I remember I had a bunch of destructive spells, assaisins and the corrupted soil ability and it was funny - I mean I shot with the assaisins, cast a destructive spell and that's everything. Then I thougt wisely to myself: Am I playing this game or it plays by itself by killing the hostile units?". It is indeed one of the very few moments when I don't feel like a loser while playing :s

Heheh Not much point judging yourself while playing, that's better left to bitter perfectionists and heavily focused multiplayer guys. Part of the reason I made this thread was for the laughs, to show the sunny side of losing. Game's meant to be fun after all.
As for the 'right' way to play I've noticed that there is indeed an optimal build when you have a specific match, that build will (almost) always work with minimal risk. May not necessarily give you victory but it is the 'safe' choice. On the other hand there are situational strategies with more margin for luck that while not always effective they tend to be more fun. Less methodical, better chances for a memorable replay Some of the funniest replays back when we had duel tournaments were with chaotic builds and flawed strategies.

I still play the old version of HOMM3 and the other day my brother beat me at about day 4 on peacemaker. We were next to each other and he just spent all his money on heroes and gremlins upgrade and sailed to me. I only had time to get citadel up and lost pathetically.
