Hey, I was thinking to play inferno again and to try a total new build, focusing on overpowering with gating.All skills are expert.
Ultimate gating-hellfire-consume corpse-mark of the damned-urgash call
Logistics-swift gating-pathfinding-teleport assault
Leadership-recruitment-gate master-diplomacy
Luck-soldiers luck-swarming gate-magic resistance
Attack-excruiciating strike-battle frenzy-flaming arrows
Dark magic-master of mind-weakening strike-corrupt soil
Nymus ends to level 36 so 36% more gated troops.combined with Will of Urgash arti set, will the overpowering gate tactic work?

That seems to be a rather good build, but with Urgash's call alone, it gets overpowered enough. Slam into enemies with gated troops, then finally get around to attacking with normal troops. It seems that Aura of Swiftness isn't need with you can Gate into the middle of the battlefield where you can attack everything.
**One Problem** - You can't have Aura of Swiftness with Gate Master.

Okay, I can just take diplomacy then.

Point is, I like to "maximize" a map: explore every nook and cranny, visit every location of interest on the map, collect all treasures and defeat all Neutral stacks (as they usually block off map locations and/or items and resources) - did I mention I usually hate moonweeks that spawns new creatures? - and own every Town, Dwelling and Mine before I deliver the final blow that finishes a map.
Furthermore, I like to take my pace to build up a huge army that can steam-roll a map (while keeping enemy armies in check, that they don't grow to grotesque proportions - although Epic battles are fun  ) - did I mention that I usually hate taking unnecessary losses? - and maximize my Hero.
You can't do such a thing in multiplayer, which is all about rushing, or countering a rush and then counter-rushing the enemy yourself, using whatever rag-tag army you have at that point.
You Said it  - I guess lot's of players feel the same. There's nothing better than a huge map full of treasures and neutrals!
I agree. I spent countless hours playing Heroes 3 against the AI on randomly generated maps. Great stuff!

Nevermind, I see the AI mod now. I'll just use that.
Regarding "duels", how do they work? Because you seem to get "official" configurations, don't those get boring quickly because you can't make up your own army and once you tried them all the game is going to be repetitive?
Can you duel against the AI? Is duel games a campiagn where your hero can gain experience? Or do they start raw each time?
What AI mod?

It's me again and still at the biara fight. When I defeat the inferno town with gotai, it is clearly that he remains with a "few" cyclops. Then he moves automatically to I don't know where. Is there any posibility to get the cyclops from him, becuase I would surely need them in the biara battle. Because to wait for 300 titans like a memeber of the forum said takes a lot of time I presume. Suggestions???????????????????

Maybe if you add another five question marks someone will know the answer.

So today I was playing: hate breeds hate and something inside me boiled, I felt a hate and a huge anger against Nival!
TotE brought so many good things, in this little post I will highlight the GOOD ( ) caravan feature! Which do not work at all! Am I the only one who would love that the caravans where "invisible", so instead of being STUCK on a FREAKING bridge ! It is so annoying.
My anger then lead to another frustation: Nival said once: We will not abandon this game or forget it. That would mean they would update it, make patches, have we seen any for 6 months! NO!!
Can those caravans be modded so they could stop being stuck, when your hero is a week's journey from them!

even normal hero can be overpwered gater with urgash call and without swarming gate and gate master so what you think? btw getting hero to lvl36 i think it is impossible,unless if you some levelling mod

For the biara battle, I waited long enough for the spawned joiners to increase in number, because Biara's army doesn't increase. I think I went in with 80 in each stack and it was enough?
if you mean lvl7 creatures yes.i used morale increasing arties,and I DIDNT ATTACK AGAINST GATED ONES,i just focused originals ones,casted phantom forces and puppet master ressurrection and some des magic and yes i had AO,i also had luck

Hmm, for week of Toughness do you get 20% more xp from your battles as well to coincide with the boosted hit points of the creatures?

I'm playing on hard mode for the 1st time, and also with necropolis for the 1st time, and I got crushed at the end of week 2 by nymus level 10, while I only had kaspar level 3 (I had only crept some levels 1 and the weaker levels 2 with my hundred of skeletons / skeleton warriors, and I was gonna get the 30 vampires in my castle for harder battles (there was a vampire week) but that bastard attacked me before...
in normal mode the AI heroes were like level 3 at the month 6...

Hello again boys and girls and gremlins...one more week of exams and then I can spam this forum with hq posts God I miss those days I can chat about anything I loved here on forums. Anyway...
With Toe launched I was like omg omg a new era of Homm will rise. Fas...Toe is looking like the way Heroes 5 should look in the first place. New creatures WOW...new naked furies wow...more cute knights =)) How can they be cute if we cant see them ? Drop the armor boys,lets make fricky fricky.
So the most important facts in Toe are some alternative upgrades and the new map locations.Also the imbalance grow in Toe due to non caster heroes that after level 15 are almost invincible(not always depends).Good old Elvin will surely disagree here C'mon Elvin bring it on. For those of you that dont have yet Toe get it to try the new things but expect a relatively boring curve in a short while. The incredible orcs are the new addition to heroes 5.This new stinking addition is very unoriginal(dumb orcs with no skills in magic and powerful creatures in melee combat) they should learn form AGE OF WONDRES 2 creators what new races should be.
Incredible or not...the developers forgot about teenagers and 13-14 y.o. kids that play heroes 5 and make some ..er...naughty things with succubi or blood furies. how about the gay people here or the bi ones? No naked cyclops? no miracle lake location where arcane archers could take a bath? Ntz ntz...
Succubi: - yes master?
Kid :- What is burning on you down there?
Succubi: he he kido thats the super rabbit wanna try it?
Kid : Omg you have a rabbit in your vagina! Aaaaa
So..it is worth it to pay for the ToE? Yeaa...pay it anyway and upgrade that buggy and lazy Heroes 5. Maybe not worthy but surely good to see the new "things" in homm 5(wow =)) )

I have a quick question.
So I've been to the HoMM5 site and checked out ToE and there are additional creatures for each castle. How does that work in the game? Do you have to choose between which ones like in heroes 4?
