Rushing the
Hi guys, It's me again, I'll tell you something I had fun to mess with : win ANY campaign map on Hero rank with a time of between 2-3 hours against 1-2 days !!
I'll provide also a proof.
Here are the basic tips to know (hard difficulty):
_DO NOT TURTLE ! You can only turtle when you gets 3+ castles with champion dwelling, and even then you should always push the enemies. Computer grows his stack tremendously fast. Always head to the next castle.
_With the earned gold from the Altar of Wishes, don't buy anything except seals to gain dynasties features, which should be : +3 attack, +3 defense, + movement on land and on sea for example.
Here are the basic tips to know to rush (hard difficulty):
_Put on auto-fight - the computer in Heroes 6 doesn't do many mistakes when doing fight for you.
__Fight only neutrals that are near your starting area. After 2 castles don't fight neutrals, unless there is a big artifact / stack of creatures to win back. Lose creatures on Enemy castles mainly.
_Scout for some days, to know what is in this area, then take your save back to these few days : you know what there is here minus these days.
This way, I managed to finish Third level of Inferno campaign within 2.30 hours, whereas it would have asked for 10-15 hours with no auto-fight !
Link shows this proof:

the rank you get depends mainly on number of turns it took you...
and turtling is never a good game plan imho.
did you use autofight against enemy heroes too? as i found it pretty sucky in this regard, but it does cope quite well against neutrals

I used auto fight in every fights.
The goal of this technique is to get the Hero rank as well as a real time of 2-3 hours when playing normal fight you get around 10-15 hours of gameplay.

So I was right not to buy it, if you can win all battles in auto. Next!

But isn't Champion, Grand Champion, Hero & Grand Hero achievement bugged? It seems no one has them besides Mattmaxfr, think he got them in an earlier version than 1.1.1.

It's bugged.
I have done every necro missions on hero, one with inferno on hero, and didn't try yet for other factions, but i cant see them on my list.
Actually, the number of bugs I have personally encountered is amazing. Like 20-25 of them.

Well done X-ecutionner and you say it's just fun and something to mess around with, but the pure essence of Heroes are two-fold:
- Exploring adventure map
- Fighting battles (like chess)
The chess aspect was the heavy focus in earlier Heroes games but still, it's important for gameplay...

Never use auto battle. If you are better than auto battle you can get less losses. If you are not as good as auto battle you can get practice and learn until you are better than auto battle. Only use auto battle when you are not going to loose units/mana either way.

You obviously didn't understand the point of the topic...

Well you finished a map in short time instead of enjoying it thoroughly.....taking your time, sipping your coffee, fighting the battles...

Well, I personally HATE the campaign (this campaign must be on an incredible budget) and the narration doesn't save this.
Simply put, this is the worst scenario of any heroes ever and I hate every faction campaign - minus Sandor/ Kraal duo (Stronghold) and Irina (Sanctuary).
But don't worry, I finished the whole Necro campaign without Auto, it's just that Inferno didn't get me involved that much. In fact I hate this Heroes 6 faction, while I enjoy the others.

I LOVE this game, I hate the campaign. Don't mix some ideas of your own to change what I said.
The whole Inferno campaign is just plain boring. Oh, and Kiril... I wanted him to die 10 times already.
Stronghold / Sanctuary campaign are fine.
Haven is average.
Inferno / Necro campaign SUCK ASS.

Where are you from Salamander btw ? US ? EU ? Do you still have HOMM 2 ?
I ask this to wonder if you would like to play Heroes 2 POS online with me (gameranger or gamespy).

Ok, you don't like a scenario because the dialog and story sucks, so you skip the combat so you can do the story? What? Wouldn't you want to fight the combat and skip the cut scenes?

I can do the combat TEN TIMES after this campaign. What don't you understand ? I just want to discover the whole campaign - which is incredibly disappointing - before I jump into Hot Seat & Multi & Duel as I always did.

Again, why "discover" the campaigns if you don't like them? And considering how few maps H6 has vanilla, you should want to do the campaign battles.
