I said that an year ago


Glad we agree on that.


Not sure you should be happy about Macron agreeing with you. He's been somewhat of a pariah with regards to HotA .

The main point is perhaps that you've come on somewhat strong in your opinion with regards to faction balance, stating a thing or two that have simply been proven to be untrue years ago already, after thorough analysis, both on these forums and through online play and tournaments. You're likely to receive some flak for that .

Sorry but you seem clueless about what's going here. First, Hota is not a patch. Secondly, you talk about vanilla game factions, which has nothing to do with Hota, so you get answered. I don't know how you concluded that someone answering you about stronghold and fortress is a Hota "patch" crew, but anyway, unlike you, I have statistics to back up my arguments.

Heroes tournament

Click on statistics and see by yourself ratio winning about all towns. Those results are conclusion of 10 years online games. Still entitled to your opinion about stronghold and fortress bad towns? Then read next:

As says the saying, only stupid people never change their mind.


Why is it not a patch?, it is free, add-ons usually aren't. But then call it add on if you like that better.

Then call me stupid I don't care, you are trying real hard to change my opinion are'nt you?

...

Compare HotA to Armageddon's Blade official expansion pack:

AB
1. New Town (Conflux, new factions, new heroes) +
2. New campaign set +
3. New creatures (Faerie/Rust/Crystal/Azure Dragons etc) +
4. RMG in Map Editor +

HotA
1. New Town (Cove, new factions, new heroes) +
2. New campaign set +
3. New artifacts, banks, War Machine +
4. RMG improved +

Typical patch
...some bugfixes for existing game. No new content!

Do You feel the difference??

I am confused, what should I call it then and why does it even matter? Free patch/add on/whatever what's the big deal?

so you can just slow and blind them to hell.


Can you double cast same turn? I don't think so. So you slow them, then he casts haste, then bam you probably dead.

Ok man, nice to see you have scenario and friends to play with, but please don't embarrass yourself anymore by claiming ridiculous things like how weak are fortress and stronghold. It's been 15 years those things are analyzed here, in HC forums, so you might take the time and read some in the library then discover the game which you obviously don't know so well.


Also Salamandre, oh great, noble and wise one. (LOL )
Please tell me, what happens when you cast Berzerk (or Hypnotize, which never works) on Ancient Behemoths or Chaos Hydras???
That's right!, they absolutely devastate THEIR OWN army, that's really nice for Stronghold and Fortress I guess...

Because you called it a patch. It's hard to disuss with someone who doesn't know what he says.

By your logic Peasant is better than Azure Dragon because he does less damage when berserked.

Man, you are huge noob, ignorant and still trashtalk in this thread. Please just be gone, you didnt do a good first impression and you are arrogant enough to not even confess to a mistake, nobody likes people with such attitude.

Also yes, add-on is not at all the same as patch. I can call you a monkey by this logic since humans and monkeys are all the same (mammals)

Warmonger and revolut1on you guys are being really harsh here.
Peasant is the most useless creature in the entire game, only good for skeletontransformer. Azure Dragon is obviously the best. 5 level 7 units are immune to Berserk, just not behemoth, hydra, angel and devil...

Well if nobody agrees with me on anything around here, I guess I am done posting for while. I signed up here because I really like Heroes 3 and came in here with a positive attitude, but apparently everything I say is wrong?! People don't even try to argue against my points, I guess that means I am right after all...

Stop the violence people
Please...
Can you talk about the game without making compliments to each other
Just a thought..

Also I think this thread should have a "who can see my post" option... That would save a lot of space and time to a lot of people )

By the way, Inferno creatures must all have fire immunity. This faction an essence of fire and fire magic, still they are vulnerable to fire. HOTA fixed only gog's friendly fire, as i read.

PS Angel under Berserk should temporarily morph to Devil Joke.

You overestimate berserk, probably you used it a lot vs computer, and as he is coded to cast defensive spells first, you nailed it. But berserk actually is VERY hard to make effective. If you meet a stronghold army and you are faster and you cast first berserk on behemots, do you believe it will work?  Just make the math, they don't move first. So you wasted your first cast turn, which means you probably lost the battle vs equal opponent.

I am afraid you are not the best person to give advices about flaws and balances, however your opinions were listened, then countered. Up to you to reconsider or remain on your position.

No I'm not overestimating Berserk, with expert fire magic berserk is typically able to affect 3-4 creatures and if you want to recover from that you need expert dispel or cure.
I don't know how it is tournamentwise, if all spells are allowed there everyone is probably only picking earth and air magic, which sounds really f***** boring to me. Fire is probably the worst magic school, but you can't say that expert berserk is not really powerful!

Why do you keep thinking you are better than me, that is really condescending and annoying, will you please stop that.

Man, you didn't join a forum about how handsome are men, girls or other purely subjective things. You joined a gaming forums where skilled and experienced people daily discuss strategies, outcomes, maps, solutions and so on. Because they love the game and the activity around. So what makes you think, from your first day and your first post, that you can not be wrong thus everyone contradicting you has an ego problem?

Phoenix4ever, he told you that Stronghold had advantage in multilplayer due to quick army raising and enemy will be at your door at day 8 and your reply is defending yourself with level 4 spells? (Not to mention they dont always pop up and you might get stuck with Sorrow  and Waterwalk.)

The truth is you are afraid you might learn something from "new guy".
You did'nt even try to counter my argument about mass berserk, so I guess you agree on that as well.

I don't care how many colored stars you have below your avatar or if your title was "The one and only supreme god of heroes of might and magic".
Besides I think you are the one with the ego-problem.

But as I have said before lets just agree to disagree okay?

Only an ignorant player will construct his strategy around ONE level 4 spell, whose probability to appear in guilds is 10% per town, and which forces you to choose a useless skill, and then can be countered by several artifacts,one being a treasure so you find it at each corner, or by resistance, and which must be cast with a microscopical precision in order to achieve wanted effect.

That is not the only way to counter Stronghold and I never said that. Besides who says they will be at your door day 8, first they need to find your castle and if they can locate that in 8 days, towns are pretty close to each other.
Also they can have a maximum of 2-4 normal behemoths at that time if that was all they focused on building and what about money and resources?, don't they need Town Hall, Capitol and resourcesilo as well?
