Happy New Year! Glad to hear that there are also other HotA projects going on. Maybe HotA won't stop after Factory after all

It never was meant to. Now, how exactly things will go from there... we'll see, and you will, too.

Hello, I was wondering if there is any chance I could get access to HOTA Campaign editor? I am working on a project where you start as an undercover agent Camilla (a necromancer without necromancy (you get it from a Scholar at the end of the map)) and build your hero through multiple levels much like in Heroes Chronicles.

As for creating the campaign itself, HotA didn't change the .h3c file format. If you are a bit tech savvy and are able to use a hex editor, you can build the h3c structure manually. You can find the .h3c format in quite a few places, for example here, or if you have a newish version of ERA installed you can find it in the folder "Help\h3c format.txt".



I could help you create it, but I'm not sure that HotA team would like this, since I think they didn't release the unfinished campaign editor on purpose because they wanted to check the quality of the campaigns themselves.

They have definitely helped people make campaigns in the past:
Roland and Archibald campaigns
A Strategic Quest campaign

Hello my Heroes
Redesign of some skills:

- Artillery: Level 1: 500 HP and shoots 1x / Level 2: 700 HP and shoots 2x / Level 3: 1000 HP and shoots 3x. (in addition it would correspond to the image 1 arrow, 2 arrows and 3 arrows). The machine finally appears when you defend your castle!
The eight heroes who have the Ballista specialty see their machine "reappear" at the end of the fight if it was destroyed.

- Ballistic : I don't know but it should.

- Diplomacy: I don't know but it should be.

- Eagle Eye: to be deleted! I really don't see how to make it interesting enough to replace another skill. There are still seven heroes with this skill. It's too sad!

- First Aid : Level 1 : 100 HP and 50 points mass heal for each unit / Level 2 : 200 HP (100 HP mass heal) / Level 3 : 500 HP (100 HP mass heal and resurrect units).
PS: The tent mass heal will be different from the "Cure" power in the hero's spellbook because it will only add HP and thus not remove malus.
The three heroes who have the specialty, increases the HP power and their tent "reappears" at the end of the fight if it was destroyed. Finally the care of their tent will also remove the malus.

- Leadership & Lucky: no change but the game blocks at +3 / -3 even if you have items. I would remove this limit and therefore it will increase the bonus / malus chances of having morale and luck.
Other choice: (if we keep the limit) Each level adds +1 to his army and at the same time adds -1 to the enemy army. Will force to find AND especially to use the artifacts not to be penalized too much for fear that the opponent has this skill.

- Learning : Level 1 : +10%, Level 2 : +15% and Level 3 : +25%, AND from Level 1 onwards, when gaining each level, the player chooses where to allocate his skill points.

- Logistics : Level 1 : +10% / Level 2 : +20% / Level 3 : +30%.

- Navigation : No change, except for the three heroes who have this specialty when fighting on a ship or boarding (beach), there is a turret with a cannon that fires (a bit like in a castle and its 3 towers). [If it's too complicated for the developers, my other choice: All units have +5 speed on the 1st turn].

- Pathfinding: Lvl 1: reduces movement penalty by 50% / Lvl 2: reduces movement penalty by 100% / Lvl 3: (On the combat map) All your units have +1 speed (as if it was their natural terrain and +2 for the unit that is on its natural terrain). Moreover you can dig on the map (1x) AND move your hero.

- Resistance (it reappears!) : Level 1 : 10% resistance to the spell / Level 2 : 20% resistance / Level 3 : 40% resistance.
And of course return of the artifacts of resistance.
[Other choice (a bit like fairy dragons do) : Level 1 : 5% of returning the spell on an enemy / Level 2 : 10% / Level 3 : 20%.
PS : if it's a mass spell, it's counted each time for each unit so our spell can be sent back on several units.

- Scouting : Level 2 : +3 scouting + indicates the number of units of the enemy and neutral armies (like the spell "Visions"). / Level 3 : +5 scouting + also indicates the number of units in the buildings to capture AND indicates the treasures in reward. Also shows rewards for quests and what's in the mills.
Both heroes with this specialty will see in combat traps and quicksand + 5% movement bonus every five levels.
PS: As with the "Visions" spell, the distance of vision will depend on our spellpower.

- Sorcery : Level 3 : Allows you to cast a second spell at the beginning of the fight (1x per fight)


I've tried to balance all the skills so that each one is perceived as a real bonus and not a burden. Of course the schools of magic are still essential but here I think that each one is a pleasure to have.
The other skills, I don't think need to be changed.

RMG Template Editor bug?



Hey guys. While messing with the template editor somehow the shelf with all the buttons dissapeared and I cant figure out how to bring them back? Does anyone had similar issue?
I even tried reinstaling hota but that didnt help.

If reinstalling didn't work, then it's likely that whatever settings you accidentally changed are saved in Windows registry. Try searching for "RMG Template" in your registry and delete whatever you find to reset the settings.

Hi guys,
Do you know if the HotA map editor will be updated to allow single square placement at some point?
