Hello guys

Heroes 3 is the best game ever in my opinion but as you say there are still so many unbalanced skills and spells in it.

One of these skills is diplomacy... I play hota and want to ban this unblockable skill from the game. can someone say how?


I think many of us agree on it begin the best game

The skill can't be deleted as far as I know, but if you open the map editor you can go to secondary skills and make sure it can't be picked in a game.

Also HOTA somewhat balanced the matter by making sure that none of the heroes that would start with diplomacy do not start with those skills (Ryland for example)


I opened the editor and deleted diplomacy. but ı opened castle with Adela and she still had diplomacy.

if I delete 3 diplmacy heroes from the game. then everything will be okay?

Diplomacy is completely broken.
Level 1-5 units joining is fine, level 6 is questionable, but level 7 is close to game breaking. I don't know what developers where thinking. I guess it would be fine if you always had to pay for joiners, but getting a huge stack of free joiners, makes everything else look bad. Hmm Learning or Diplomacy?, tough choice...

When Restoration of Eratia came out, there was no such thing as random maps. Only map editor for less or more gifted mapmakers. So, h3 secondary skills system were written with intend for making custom maps. At custom maps even Eagle Eye could be helpfull in the hands of clever mapmaker. Random maps came with Armageddon's Blade, year later.

I was talking about them having "thousands of joiners", btw.
In my last (and first) map, I use Diplomacy a lot but I buffed AI with better heroes, more starting army and resources, much more banks and events giving resources and increasing weekly growth of creatures.

For random maps, RMG Template Editor will allow you to disable any secondary skill you don't like.

The same goes for artifacts, spells, heroes, towns, and objects on the map.

And of course, for non random maps, you can already do it using Map Editor.

I agree with lvl7 creatures and diplomacy. I played a map with strong monsters and cleared it over some months. When I reached the limit of ~225 black dragons on my drakageddon army on diplomacy... "150 black dragons want to join your army" without any money or anything else. At this point the game was won anyway but still its kinda OP 150+ dragons joining for free.

When I started playing HotA my random maps would be most often from Twenty Five template, I could get tons of joiners but they were mostly level 3 to 5, lots of pirates and sea witches, some enchanters and Efreet Sultans, there were almost no level 7 neutrals. With the one I got with the last install, I not sure about the template and since the beginning of this year I been working exclusively on my map and played Chaos and Corruption, from Erathianer for testing purposes and meanwhile I trade the computer so I can't verify but with that one yes, I would end up having dozens of groups of level 7 joiners. These templates are on of the reasons I said "I even felt HotA to be pretty much made for Diplomacy", the other being how easy it is to get it with both Cove classes. Playing random I often couldn't avoid to pick it with Corkes, always my main.

If im not mistaken HW 1.38 ( its a set of rules) makes you unable to recruit neutral monsters, not sure about AI though, youll have to test it. Just google it,install the plugin ( both of you) and i hope it will work.

@Orrinisthebest You're right and I am sure about the rest, it doesn't affect AI. Why care? Those rules were created for the high level competition, those guys don't care AI has four times their army.In all the hundreds, if not thousands, of hours I spent watching multiplayer matches on Twitch, only once I saw a human beat by an AI.

I bet they were thinking, when you're a kid new to the game and you get dragons joining for free, kid is happy, game is fun.
Then if you can't beat AI (I don't speak for you) maybe lower difficulty settings.

You need diplomacy in http://www.celestialheavens.com/search2.php?map_name=illusion+world+iii&author_name=&size=&nr_players=&playing_type=&version=&sort_by=map_name&order=asc&multiplayer=&month=&year=&minimaps=on&results1=20&page=1&action=search&submit=Search A witch hut give a diplomacy, because AI is hard opponent, and they destroy a netural monster, before you have a time to join with monsters, but a game isn't easy. A good and funny map. I've played without diplomacy

Other what? Diplomacy versus Necromancy, since a strategy (the spirit of the game) belong to Castle, Rampart, and Tower. They own defence with diplomacy. If AI could good player, and hire a death knight, or necromancer then. But AI's army never has grown. Otherwise a banned necromancy Player hasn't own thumb, he or she doesn't know about force field, berserk, blinding, etc

It strongly depends on map actually, there are rarely some templates (I love these) with lots of artifacts and tons of strong monsters lvl5+ in high quantities. I've noticed its in most case dirt and underground terrain that are created in that manner. I always play without water. I personally loved on this map the red dragon caves were omnipresent in these underground areas too. so you could get all these dragons with ~2 Rampart towns from the interests you get there.

Diplomacy is already nerfed in hota, at least in random maps. I think is a bad skill now.

What do you mean it's nerfed in HotA? Because of an extra faction or?

Because in random maps there are no free joiners and even with diplomacy is more difficult to get joiners and for free never I think.
Edit: there are free joiners yes xd but still isn't that good than normal maps.

When version 1.5 of HotA will be out, it would be translated as fast as possible.
