in HoMM 4 the peasents give 1 gold per turn


So every 15 days you could pay off the pessents you bought? Youd need a ton of them just to get a noticble stack of income.

I almost feel bad for the Knights in HoMM2. Ya peasents were cheap but they were also very very slow and they held back any army. The farm is almost a waste of a building. It could have been changed to give the castle 4 extra archers a week instead.

Don't feel sorry. Knight is the most numerous faction. Also, peasants in H3 are very rare so they aren't even some reliable bonus for Necro. They are, simply said, a useless leftover of King's Bounty.

A peasant in WoG can be given through ERM properties of any other creature in the H3 game!
I mean a peasant can:
1)drain life(more info of vampiric ability for creatures-TDS)
2)strike w/o retaiation
3)have huge ammount of HP
4)be invulnerable
5)summon demons(again TDS-Secret race)
6)Fear/fearless
etc,etc...

So we should thank 3do for that opportunity(turning the weakest creature in H3 Terminator)

I'd like to try the named Surf's Uprise map, but I can find it anywhere. Is the name correct, or does anyone have a live download?
Thanks.

That means imediate death if going up against any monster or hero, therefore peasents are a failed invention in HOMM 1-3 but in HOMM 4-5 they have some use: paying taxes

@ml
The same could be done to any other creature.

Actually, peasants are overpowered! I played King's Bounty (where they are more numerous) recently and I used (a lot of) peasants. And they were admirable force! Because, when comparing numbers, h3 peasants have equal hp and attack (both are 1), and that's like a black dragon with 300 attack! And they are cheap and numerous. Of course, unit with good defense could easily fight them off, but in start they can be quite useful!

Random group of Peasants: "Hmm I see someone riding a horse and coming on this way."
Peasant n34"Could it be a royal knight from Castle?"
Peasant n42"yea or Elf from Rampart."
Peasant n12"Hey I think he spotted us."
Peasant n1"Lets join him mates!"
Peasant n21"Hey wait..oh crap he is a Necromancer."
Necromancer Hero: "Well well look what we got here.. A fine 50 group of Peasants. You look great addition for my army but you look horrible with your skin on. We shall fix that."
Peasant n1: "At least we wont be turning in to daemons this time."
A nice little story about Peasants lives in HoMM3

Which games are "King's Bounty" and "When Champions Fail" for?  I assume King's Bounty is from HoMM 2, and the other map is for HoMM 3.

King's Bounty is another game made by NWC before H1. It has many similarities with Heroes (game mechanics, creatures).

There's that artifact which gives your creatures +1 max HP (can't remember its name now), right?
I find it funny since it basically doubles peasants' HP. Insanity! (or not)

Why did 3do make peasants ?

For the same reason someone came up with Al Bundy. So that others can ridicule them and feel better about themselves.

huh. i always liked Al Bundy. i hated his family and his neighbors, i didn't see Al as being someone to look down on, just someone that couldn't catch a break. i always rooted for him.

come to think of it, "Married with Children", was about nothing BUT "losers". i don't see how anyone would feel better about themselves by comparison, as the show pretty much broke down the values of society itself, and exposed them for how lame they really were. at least, that's my opinion.

To be perfectly honest, i dont think the peasants would win that little scrap. For me the peasants have only 1 real usefull purpose in the game, being material for my necromancers and transformers. I am basicaly upgrading them.

I think the peasants are realy useful. in a hungaryan map "the 5. element" there is an island ful of peasants might 100000-200000 of them and you have only 10 ice elemental and 10 sharpshouter and might some woodelfs. Its hard but not inposible. and the end you have 100000-200000 exp from peasants!
