Not sure what you're saying here. Might need to try a different translation haha




Let me explain what I meant by point (2)
don’t go into details (this translation is not accurate) try to understand the essence

There is an annoying technical bug in Classic Heroes 4 (an oversight by the developers)
(when using the Armageddon spell, the hero does not spend mana, but 12 units should be taken away)
This is a terrible mistake that nullifies the game balance of classic heroes
Having received the Armageddon spell, any hero has infinite mathematical
advantage over enemies and further play on the map does not make sense.
The developers should have fixed this, but they didn’t have time due to the collapse.

Dalai (possibly being a programmer) creating Equilibris solved this problem by finding an error in the code of the "exe" file
and based on this he made all subsequent modifications of the game. He could have simply fixed the error by creating a patch.
(correcting Armageddon) for the classic version, for which thousands of players around the world would be grateful
to the world. But he didn’t do this and decided to create Equilibris (actually a completely different game) which later
led to a split in the gaming community. Since not all players approved of the changes carried out by Dalai's team
Almost all of the changes they have made are controversial and cannot be argued as necessary.
For example, what they did with the Poison spell. In their case, the poison is just a “runny nose” that goes away on its own
after 15 moves - it's funny. A creature or hero must die from real poison and save them from this
Only the magic of Life can. There is no doubt that Equilibris was written “on its own” for some players. This is an opinion
People who understand the game well have expressed this more than once. I don't want to argue about the advantages and
disadvantages of this mod endless topic. We have what we have. I ... post shortened to 2000 characters.

There are still some serious water related bugs in HotA:

1) AI sometimes gets stuck on water, while using Water Walk or Fly.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FATAL TO THAT HERO, AS THAT HERO CAN'T DO ANYTHING AND IS FOREVER STUCK IN THAT STATE
Please do some bugfixing and make sure it is not possible to end turn on water, when using Water Walk or Fly.

2) Today I got a message saying something similar to "Water Walk can not be cast while in a ship", but it was while it was AI's turn, so apparently AI tried to cast Water Walk while in a ship?

"Much more focused" just means "hasn't lost it as much as the other". Trumps first term started eight years aho (when he was eight years fitter, mentally), but he still behaved like a child with ADHD in the office and was more interested in playing gold than anything else, if you can trust the reports about him.
He's only interested in himself, at that, so it's a pick between a senile and a an egomaniacal halfwit.

Alright, I can't imagine "A Greene Virus Toy" will be new to anyone on this board - in fact I expected at least two or three threads on here devoted to it. But shockingly enough, Googling it gets only a tiny handful of results, *none* of which are on this board!

So, in brief: Armageddon's Blade's last campaign, Foolhardy Waywardness, has this ocean-bottle in its third scenario "Here There Be Pirates"

To he who may unscramble this message: A Greene Virus Toy. The heavens shall smile upon thee.

Fans have tried putting their brains to it [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/heroes3/comments/pgofvf/from_the_armageddons_blade_scenario_here_there_be/]here[/url] and [url=https://able2know.org/topic/216374-1]here[/url], to apparently no avail. Online anagram decoders have spat out a couple of coherent strings like "Voyagers Reunite", but still nothing that feels like a proper reference or punchline. I suspect at least one "fantasy" word is involved in here.

This is the original Heroes 3 community - has anyone given it thought, maybe even cracked it? I know it's not likely to be anything serious; heck, it may even be straight-up misspelled, since Armageddon's Blade in general was rushed (something the campaign's Gilligan's Island-parody ending openly admits) and spellcheck clearly wasn't a high priority on several of the campaigns.

For additional context: most of the other ocean-bottles in this campaign have lyrics from pop songs of the developers' time (by the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Police, etc.). And one guy on that Reddit thread said it was a reference to Bowie's Labyrinth of all things. Anyone know what might be up with that?

The only thing you can do is to compile the in-game maps and try to create something yourself with them. As far as I am concerned, there were no fan attempts to do this, contrary to the original Heroes 2 game.


Yeah that's what I was wondering if someone had tried.

About PoL being canon or not, is treated with a sort of shrug, this is what gregory fulton said about it in an interview
XEL: Did you consider the Price of Loyalty expansion for HoMM2 canon?

GF: Price of Loyalty was not developed in house at New World Computing, but contracted out to Cyberlore Studios.  It was on the shelves before I ever joined NWC, and I do not recall ever having any lore discussions regarding the expansion.

With this in mind, I cannot give an authoritative answer to this question… I can only give you my personal opinion.  Yes, I consider it canon.



XEL: Does Price of Loyalty take place on planet Enroth or just some random world (like HoMM 1-4 scenarios do)?

GF: Succession Wars, Restoration of Erathia, and Armageddon’s Blade all took place on the same planet, but in different locales.  For Price of Loyalty, I had no reason to believe it was not on the same planet, but tucked away in a different region so it would not interfere with NWC’s ongoing work.

Keep in mind, if in some way it did present a ‘creative or continuity issue’, I could easily imagine a quick conversation among the design leads to retcon it to another world.

http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=41078&PID=1466803#focus

To me personally there's nothing that says it couldn't fit into enroth, it's not like the planet is overcrowded or anything and it would make more sense to me to try and fit PoL in than making up new landmasses that some fans and creators have done.

Anyway, if it doesn't exist it doesnt exist, I tried googling it, but only hearing that maybe somethign exists on russian forum put out a post in case someone has seen something

@ Blizz

What about NDAs? With your signature you forego your right to free speech. AFAIK, if the corp you signed for does something illegal and you rat on them, they will be dealt with, but the corp will still sue you for breach of your NDA (at a civil court) - and will prevail.
Shouldn't NDA be illegal?
What about secrets of state? Where is free speech there? McCarthy era?

Free speech is just another concept like justice that's difficult to maintain in practice, since it stops where it violates the rights of others. And "rights" are of course something to be defined by law as well.

In my eyes the video is a typical propaganda peace where a couple of factually true things are taken and woven into a propaganda story.

And Trump and New York? It's just law. When you embezzle money and later pay it back, you still embezzled money and can and will be tried for it. You can't just break the rules and afterwards claim no-one was hurt, no damage done. Or you CAN do it, but what you did was ILLEGAL. In these cases, it's correct to say, what if everyone would do it?
Then there is a question of motive. WHY did you do it? Are there mitigating circumstances?

If you look at the internet - or actually ANYwhere, as it is - you'll always get a large number of people complaining about the bigwigs getting away with everything, and that those with money and power can do everything they want without being punished.

And TRUMP is now a VICTIM?
As I said 8 years ago, Trump is a criminal and therefore someone not to be trusted. I think it was the democrats who asked about Nixon, Would you buy a (used) car from this man? With Trump, you need to hear him for a minute and you know you can't buy ANYTHING from him, because everything is only ever about HIM. You cannot have an narcissistic egomaniac as president (The presidency will only deepen that tendencies).

All that said - sure, inhiting "rights" does never sound good, although it's done all the time, since humans hav ... post shortened to 2000 characters.

Ahh okay that's interesting, might be useful later.

Yeah HotA.dll seems extremely confusing, I have no idea what anything is here either. (The only things I think I have changed in HotA.dll is effects of Estates, Intelligence and Mysticism and percentages of Necromancy artifacts.)

No sorry, I don't know how to change creatures ability chance, I have'nt looked in to it.
BTB might have something about it in his guide.

That is a false narrative. Trump was SOLD as this outsider guy. With social media presence. Couple that with the fact that a lot of people would vote either red or blue even if they nominated a Zzombie, you are there. To a degree this "being sick of the system" was fostered as well. As I said, people were disappointed about the fact that Obama didn't have much impact.

The fact is, that all those stories aren't somehow leaking, they are made. Produced. It's a propaganda war and democratic governments who are bound by certain rules  and can't simply forbid anything they don't like, are on the losing side. Of course this has a lot of reasons, but one is, that people are fed up with democracy/states of law/states with checks and balances and yseparation of powers and their "due process". Things take TIME. You can't just cut the Gordian Knot. Many people would like faster action in certain situations - or even any action at all, since action may be blocked by courts and judges or may not find majorities and so on.

So in times of crisis - what most people want is decisive action, fast. Which means, lots of people are sick of due process and dissatisfied. People want strong leadership in times of crisis.

Which is also a thing that is "marketed" - and obviously NOT by the government.

And of course I'm a cynic, by the way - what else am I supposed to be?

You can promote gender equality, they wont directly ban that but it is not de facto existent, it isnt 100 percent existent anywhere,anyway. Religion bashing, you can get away with it on the internet if you are not famous or anything, but if you are someone who is someone they will get you from hate speech laws or laws that forbid “offending the moral values of the public” and so on…

Which is not overwhelmingly different than the West nowadays, anything can be considered hate speech, it all depends on the public standard. In the U.S., you can bash mainstream religion but there are other taboo subjects which you can not touch, unless you are posting from your mother’s garage and have nothing to lose anyway.

I dont know if you actually watched the interview but Benz says the exact same thing you do. That the US government realized it was much cheaper to manipulate public opinion through internet than to stage coups or directly mingle in state affairs, yet, after Brexit and Crimea, they suddenly realized that it’s a blade that cuts both ways, so now, they have a double standard and freedom of speech is not their beloved champion anymore.

I dont care if Tucker Carlson has an agenda, if he wants to support Trump, he has a right to. I dont have to agree with his political views to evaluate the information Benz speaks of. The amount of factual detail Benz gives about how things work post  mid-2010’s is not something to skip and it is a “brave new world” indeed.
