Could you add the steps on how to update HOTA when a completely new version comes out on the front page? The kind that needs you to re-download?
That way returning players don't have to worry in case they forgot how to update the client.

Hello,
I don't know if I should post this here or if it has already been discussed but since the update, the HotA custom map "With Sword and Fire" is unsolvable. At the Churchyard riddle, where you are supposed to get the "Loins of Legion" and clean it without any grand elves losses, is now impossible to do since the Walking Dead have been replaced by Zombies (and their placement changed too, meaning there is not a single safe hex). We don't have access to any spells in that fight to help with that either.
I know this is very low priority but it was a really nice map in my opinion - it saddens me that new people can't sharpen their tactics beyond that point and solve the perfectly crafted riddles.
Anyway, it is always a pleasure to play HotA and I want to thank the crew for their dedication and time.

Is it possible to move the game with hota on disc?
Will it require an installation after?
I want to move it to a pc on non public network

How recently was the churchyard changed? I completed that map a few months ago, and it was definitely Zombies - no idea if the positioning has changed. The churchyard was far and away the hardest battle, but doable with only pixie losses.
Look for "Sword & Fire" on the maps4 heroes website - several commenters talk about the strategy for that battle

If you copy your installed game on a CD or USB, it should work perfectly fine without installing. One benefit older games have over new ones is that they feel more portable - you don't need to start them through launchers or whatever - once it's installed, it's always good.

Since the 1.6.1 update : "[-] Spawning points for Zombies were changed for Churchyards"
There is now not a single safe hex for the grand elves, and they can't down a stack in one turn. They will suffer at least 1 hit from one of the zombies (since retreating doesn't give any edge), and it will kill one elve for sure. If we have to rely on luck (unequip spirit of oppression) and hope for the morale boost, it defeats the purpose of the map in my opinion. They also priorize killing elves over pixies when in range.
I already completed the map long ago, it was before the Churchyard got upgraded to Zombies, but still.

Not if you don't put a pixie or two in the way there isn't
1. Split pixies into 3 stacks, arranged pixie/pixie/elves/pixie
2. Start battle
3. Elves wait
4. pixie 1 moves adjacent to north-west of elves (above, and to the left)
5. pixie 2 moves to the far-right of the battlefield
6. pixie 3 moves adjacent to south-west of elves (below, and to the left)
7. Zombies move, killing all the pixies - leaving 4 zombies 1 hex away from elves, and the other two at the bottom and the far-right. This leaves some safe hexes, within Grand Elf-walking distance, at the top of the screen
8. Elves shoot zombies
9. and then it's all move, wait, wait, move, wait etc. Eventually you can let fly an arrow or two. Recommend cranking the battle speed up to the max
I just tried this out, and I have version 1.6.1 - the map is definitely still completable.

Thank you for your time LouWeed, this is doable then, indeed. It is simply extra long and tedious compared to what it was but I get the strat, so thanks a lot !!

Are there any new artifacts or skill changes planned for next update or is it "only" going to be Factory?

To my knowledge, they have said many times that no other content than Factory should be expected. All resources are being used to make Factory possible.

A few month old quote from the crew:
"....There is nothing to hope for in terms of skills and spells - in parallel to the Factory, work on them was not carried out and almost certainly will not be carried out. The amount of content and changes in the release, other than the Factory itself, is likely to be minimal...."
progress and plans might have changed for the better meanwhile. Do with this low expectation, you can only be positively surprised when there will be some more content when the patch is released.

Thats a bummer to hear. They should at least fix TP if nothing else.Why fix dimension door and fly but leave out TP is also an interesting question to ask.

I don't recall any changes to DD/Fly?
I'd cut HOTA crew some slack, they tragically lost the heart of the team so I'd be happy with whatever final update they can muster. Getting a whole free town in spite of this tragedy is something to be happy about.

TP! *facepalm*
I'm worried H4 players use Order Magi to beat Grandmaster Challenge or other.
And I saw the letter reads I'm playing advanced level.
Luck! - or what I was playing wrong.
