That drops it from a 1:3 (15 level 1 spells, 5 slots) chance to a 1:4 (15 level 2 spells, plus Haste, 4 slots) one overall.

Is there a wishlist thread around for HotA anywhere?

So i ask u again about the difference between level of Haste and Prayer : why there are so near in terms of effect on the battle.
And furthermore, while haste improve speed and initiative, why would i pick bloodlust or stoneskin spells, which improve only attack or defense ?

Finally,

Getting Mass haste

- 2000 gold , 5 wood, 5 ore
- no wisdom skill
- basic, adv and expert air magic

Getting Mass Prayer

- 5000 gold, 20 ore, 20 wood, 18 all ressources
- basic, advanced wisdom
- basic, adv and expert water magic


A lot of ressources..., get back to the castle for learn spell unless u have scholar, 2 skill level more for learn adv wisdom. Without looking their cost spell.
As Mage guild 1 is mandatory, maybe the ressources used to learn the "high level spell" are too many expensive.. And if not, why won t i spend my ressource in the 7th level creature instead ?

Prayer is still a better spell, as it buffs everything in one turn and its effect cannot be canceled by anything except dispell. That is hell a lot. However, heroes take water magic not too often as earth/air schools have higher priority due to control spells and slow/haste . Don't search for ideal balance between schools and between levels - there is none and that is almost OK. Yes, slow-haste are main spells in heroes 3 and that is just a part of game balance.

And actually, haste is much less valuable than slow. So, it is not imba spell in any kind. I've already said, how you should play around it - you cannot just cast it and kill everything

This is not argued but anyway u control your product... (about expensive cost and small battlefield).
But anyway, u have right to disagree with my ideas.

My own purpose wasn t to make the game changing entirely, and already you re speaking about ideal balance.
My idea is a small balance, it s not like i will fundementally make  Heroes 3 better. I m just glad to notice that smooth bonus like haste +3/+3/+3 and slow +66%/+66%/+66% was coolest than original hasardous value.

You just don't know how the game exactly works. Noobs shouldn't post balance suggestions.

a player without online tournament experience usually can't feel the game well enough to adequately speak about such thin fabrique as balance
