Stability of a game is always seen as being universal to everybody.

Unfortunately, that will never be the case and, we all, here, know that, being able to read and understand the minimal and recommended specs needed for a PC for such a game will go unnoticed by way too many players of the game out there, in the whole wide world of the PC market.

Believe-it-or-not, a mere 3 to 4 years old machine will encounter incompatibility issues not covered during the intense play-testing period and beyond a year or two after its initial release. PCs evolve way too fast, if your ask me. And, to make matters worse, it takes a mere two to three years for a totally new O.S. to be released on the retail market and, to be pre-installed by the manufacturer of totally new PCs.

My note to developers of today is: allocate way more human resources in full-time working pace with way less games to develop at a time. So that way, the games are made with full testing in no time flat. A game should never take more than 6 to 9 months to develop, rebuild and, test.

I, too, have a funny confession to make.
posted by LucJPatenaude (Disgraceful Known Hero) at 15:18, 07 Apr 2011

I did play a whole game of H1 and, liked it right off the bat.

Did play H2 a lot and, dominated the main large map of the entire world of Enroth. Never built a large army ever again on H3-H4-H5, ever. Managed to gather over 60 level 7 soldiers. Now, that was totally epic.

Played H3 like there was no tomorrow. But, I must admit, without the mod. of W.o.G. vs:3.5.7f, the original version of 3.0 of S.o.D. was getting lull and boring. I totally loved the option of a feature called: Passable terrain and the high leveled spell of fly over terrain obstacles.

Played H4 and, loved the newest graphics interface. Hated the production and hiring of troops and, very bad revenue interface. The siege of a Castle was horrendous as for the battlefields. Was way too R.P.G. for my liking.

Played H5 since the closed beta in Fall of 2005. Now, I do wish there would a fabulous Mod. like W.o.G. for H5:Tribes of the East. Hope that such awesome features can be introduced in H6:Vanilla that brings memories of H3's W.o.G..

So, you finally realized how hard it is to be an employer programmer.
posted by LucJPatenaude (Disgraceful Known Hero) at 14:02, 26 Mar 2011

Instead of being on your own and, then, choose the publisher that will review it first hand before beginning the packaging and shipping process? I think you do.

Now, you get the glimpse of why the patches for the vanilla version of MM:H5 took so long for release. The expansion of H.o.F v.2.0 + later on patch 2.1 was meant to be the overall patching of the original game all along.

For, T.o.t.E. v.3.0 was a total re-adaptation of the game for the totally new PC hardware and O.S. of Vista. Minor bugs fixed in patch 3.1. I really do think that Nival did an awesome job with T.o.t.E. v.3.1. I currently use Win. 7 x64 SP1 and, the game still works pretty damn good. My only problem is, now, the hardware of the machine is getting too old for both the O.S. and all the other apps. for it. Not a problem relating to the game itself. She aged rather quickly and, now, got to replace her with a way better one.

My final point is: Do not always blame the games and other apps., the machine's hardware is to blame most of the time. Example: There still is a March 2011 Device driver for my ATI video/graphics card but, cannot use it since the bios and the inner workings of my very slow mainboard can not figure the expansion card's new programming type of a device driver for it. So, stuck with a 32/64bit device driver of December of 2009.

Read you all around these fabulous forums gang!

AI Mod for MM:H5-Tribes of the East v.3.1.
posted by LucJPatenaude (Disgraceful Known Hero) at 16:24, 08 Feb 2011

Had no problems whatsoever downloading it, unpacking it, copy and paste the files in their proper folders of within the game's main directory.

Played the Medium size map of 'Icy Defense' and, won it within 2 months+3 weeks. Titan rank and, 2300+ points only for it, though. Funny, I got around flagging all of the mines of theirs and, defeated fully 4 out of 7 AI players, right down to the last wandering enemy army. What an aggressive AI! Three of them were eliminated already, by the 3rd week of the first month!.

As for the December 31st of 2010.
posted by LucJPatenaude (Disgraceful Known Hero) at 14:30, 15 Jan 2011

Did anyone here remember to celebrate or, even mention the fact that, on December 31st 2010, Might and Magic: Heroes 3-Complete turned 10 years old? Probably not.

Would you imagine that lots of people, are, still, buying this 10 years old game? Believe it or not, it does, still, happening. Online bought through Ubistore and, digitally downloaded, then, installed, on an Windows XP-Media Center Edition of 2004/2005 + SP3(2008) on it also.

Even MM:H4-WoW has gotten its 7 years of age as of last Fall(2010).

Just wanted to make a note on to this long gone fact, that's all.

So, what is your reaction after reading this overdue post of mine

Have a wonderful day to anyone willing to play any version of Heroes

Hint : Heroes 3
posted by LucJPatenaude (Disgraceful Known Hero) at 18:52, 28 Oct 2010

Elemental town, at the base of nearby mountains and, both sides of a river.

Arabic style Town Hall and Castle with a high towered Mage Guild.

River leads South to the Ocean.

Water elemental can be upgraded into an Ice Elemental(both shooters).

Why not having the above mentioned town with Ashan's elemental creatures + a Naga Empress as ruler of such town in the early days of Ashan. Making the Nagas as their main, very powerful warrior/soldier of their time, place and, Queendom.

Here are the real and today's PC specs needed.
posted by LucJPatenaude (Disgraceful Known Hero) at 19:30, 18 Oct 2010

As for MM:H5-T.o.t.E.(version 3.1):

Supported O.S.: Win.6(Vista)and, Win.7(6.1)

Processor: Dual Core 2.1Ghz and up.

RAM(PC's memory cards): 1Gb for the O.S.+ background programs and, 2Gb more for the game.

*Video Card(Not the onboard chipset): 256Mb with oncard GPU(for Tiny up to Normal sized maps)or, 512Mb with oncard GPU(for large up to Impossible sized maps).

Sound Card: Only needed for slow, single cored machines with no good sound chipset(updated driver not available and got too old to be used). Otherwise, Update the driver to 2010's level of quality sound processing for the onboard sound chipset. Realtek's is for mine.

DirectX Version: Latest DX9.0d(9.2) available at Microsoft.com's DirectX's download page. Get the June SDK package of 2010 for all older .dll files needed for MM:H5-T.o.t.E.

DVD Drive of any kind is fine: Chances are, you probably have a x16 type, anyway.

Multiplayer mode: Cable Broadband at 1Mb+ connection speed. Dial-up will certainly disconnect without any notice what-so-ever.

*Any video/graphics card no older than the year Vista 2007 was released and that of, Fall of 2007, when MM:H5-T.o.t.E v.3.0 was officially available onto retail shelves.

For anyone who needs constant reminders as of why their game does not run properly: Print this new and updated: Highly Recommended PC specs for this TBS game.

I do believe in the 'Create a main Hero' thing.
posted by LucJPatenaude (Disgraceful Known Hero) at 20:19, 04 Oct 2010

Starting points are allocated to choose where the hero has abilities.

In between 6 to 12 points spreaded through the 4 main attributes of this starting hero.

Example: Typical Knight will have Attack 2, Defense 2, Spellpower 1 and, Intelligence 1 if only 6 points are allocated. Otherwise, Attack 4, Defense 4, Spellpower 2 and, Intelligence 2 if 12 points are allocated.

A Random Hero with 12 points to start with could be spreaded evenly as follows: Attack 3, Defense 3, Spellpower 3 and, Intelligence 3. Or, concentrated as being a true military bound General as follows: Attack 6, Defense 6, Spellpower 0 and, Intelligence 0. Or, concentrated as being a true spell-caster of a Magic oriented Wizard as follows: Attack 0, Defense 0, Spellpower 6 and, Intelligence 6.

The only thing the player needs to know is: A wizard will need a Mage Guild built on the very first turn for that hero to be relevant in the first battle of the map. A troops bound military general will only need soldiers to lead into battle and will rather win easily without too many casualties. In my case of any map, an evenly made like hero able in both might and magic will be a sure winner, no matter the faction played. The second hero and third hero can be of any kind of specialization. All I have to do is use their experience toward improving their secondary skills(ie: Basic Attack and Basic Defense and up for a wizard or Cleric type of hero).

Hope that clears a lot of fears and uncertainties.

Moderator's note: Please any newcomer note that LucJPantenaude has a history of repeatedly offering misleading and faulty advice. It is my impression that this is pure speculation on his behalf, and I would note take any of this information at face value before confirmed from elsewhere.
