Actually he's right, it's not about both having it - it ruins part of the planning and making good choices. Consider it part of the 'personal' difficulty. Thanks for the effort though

Yes memory mentor can be good if used in that fashion Infintius... BUT unfortunately, it is abused. People take every skill and ability offered from every witch hut not matter how junky it is... just so they can go to mentor and change it into something they really want.. So on a map that normally wouldnt beable to get Ultimate skill... not you can get it easily everytime.
I was forced to make memory mentor way less accessable on my newest verison of BattleZone-v2.4

If a map has 3 hut, then one player gets 2 useful skill form them and the other player get useless ones, the first player has an advantage simply because he's lucky. The mentor can fix the misfortune of the second player, albeit at a price. If the mentor isn't avilable the second guy is screwed, especially later when every skill counts. I don't see whats wrong in this situation when the first player retains an advantage in gold and time spend at mentor. Besides, to get the ultimate when you are missing a crucial perk you're gonna have to spend ~10k to get it. Why, erasing one perk doesn't mean you get the other one, even if you have the requriement. Often you have to erase a whole skill tree to get the skill/perk you want. Heck, I had to spend 20k worth of gold just to get Master of Wrath to show up(I was pissed).

or simply raise the difficulty of the map to heroic, or reduce the resource amounts so you don't have an easy 40k lying around for skill changes.

In a 2 month game I think paying 40k for an ultimate is reasonable.
I mean, the skill advantage could be compensated by the large army or artifacts one can buy with that money... imho

If dungeon can beat you so easily on HG, it says enough of your skill with sylvan.

I know i not so good But look at statistic of FireDragon, he is unbeatable at the moment ... http://www.toheroes.com/info204.asp?playername=FireDragon-008&gameversion=5
I think ultimate was not good for this case, better to take in this case light magic fire resistance ....

Really??? Check my statistics, what does that say about me? Or better, check the statistics of a player who you played much with. What do they say about him? An compare with what you know about that specific player.

Statistic on toh ranking means nothing...until there's a ranking system similar to battle net ladder , this toh ranking is just for record purpose. You can play with all the crappy players and get perfect score but another better player can be playing with all the experts and get average scores. In Homm , luck , map/race determines the outcome of the match if played by 2 experts. Even though I'm new to Homm5 but my experiences with homm1-3 tells me so.

Yep, luck, playing with an unfamiliar faction/map can really give misleading results. Looking at my score with samiekl you could assume that I am much better but that could not be further from the truth. Besides if I played only newbies and had a 30-0 score would it mean I am invincible?

for the record I know about everything of my opponents (when I'm involved) I'm using excel and write everything "down"
Elvin has looked at my excel file... he knows what I'm talking about...
when it comes to firedragon well I know he is an good player just test yourself samiekl....

I'm not saying he's not. I just said that you cant judge a player by the numeber of wins/losses he has, because you're not accurate.

I know fiur's point, he has played too many times with each one to know I was commenting more on people you have played a few times only.
