I have noticed this myself and problem is that audio starts playing when you load a game at any point and then finish a scenario. If you finish the whole thing in one sitting - no matter if you redpill or win normally - there won't be any narrator from the original cutscenes. I tested this with custom campaigns in SoD as well and that problem doesn't occur there.


We ran some tests and found this to indeed be the case. That's a puzzling quirk; thanks for reporting it. We'll look into it.

So I played my map today and through Eagle Eye, I was able to learn all level 5 spells from one hero! I can't remember If I defeated the hero and got Spellbinder's Hat or if he ran away.
But it seems like a very big coincidence, that I learned all level 5 spells, so he must have had Spellbinder's Hat.

I don't know if it is intentional, that you can learn spells from Spellbinder's Hat, (or the 4 tomes) but the old Eagle Eye, was not able to learn spells from artifacts...
I am not sure if I'm complaining, I'm just asking if this is intentional, cause learning all level 5 spells, through Eagle Eye, was quite a nice surprise.

Eagle Eye seems very nice in the newest version of HotA. I play without Spell Research though, it's probably not that great with Spell Research...

(...) having more just-animal units is a great thing and will be amazing for map making. (...)

(...) I'm surprised people are mentioning the wolves and boars having goblins when I know many people have hated that part of them (the wolves having goblins is fine, but the boar one is just egregious). (...)

(...) I'd love to see more honestly, things like Lions, Tigers, and Bears. They'd make solid neutral units. (...)

(...) it would be nice to get a new Tier 1 neutral unit, and I think a Rat would be perfect for that. (...)

(...) A Savannah for example would be gorgeous to have in the game, and the yellow could really make maps pop (similar to how the orange of the Wasteland looks so good).


Very good ideas.
- I like the Goblins riding Wolves (I think it's a very good model). But maybe you are right about the Boar with the orc.. I don't actually like it very much.
- A Bear would be amazing.. having both, Grizzly and Polar.. just repaint it and change a little bit of the stats, and a different skill for each. Also a feline: I like the Puma for the Jungle, and the Lion for Savannah.
- A Tier 1 Giant Rat sounds really good, I hadn't thaught of that.
- And yes, a Savannah is missing, it would really really fit the game.

I didn't know you could learn spells form enemy artifacts.. so that makes Eagle Eye a very good skill after all.

Even in vanilla HoMM III, Eagle Eye always allowed the hero to learn spells from scrolls and artifacts worn by the opponent (except for Titan's Thunder). It's just that it hardly ever worked, and, of course, the enemy also had to actually use the spells Still, if the opponent had a spell available to him in combat, there was always a chance to learn it with Eagle Eye.

@Tevye
Really?, perhaps I remember wrong then, but in vanilla you would never encounter an AI that would use all level 5 spells in combat + it was impossible to learn adventure spells with EE.

But to sum it all up, new EE is great, I think I will choose this skill on main heroes, very often.
The only (luxury) problem I have now, is that there are too many great skills, First Aid, Learning and Pathfinding are also great now.
Ballistics still sucks though.
Good thing I am playing with 10 skills and I am even considering 11 or 12, if I unban Learning...

Dude.. nothing satisfies you about the game!
You have asked for better skills for years, and now you struggle with that.
I don't know, just enjoy the ride. The game keeps evolving, in a good way.

As I said, it's a luxury problem.
I much prefer the new improved skills, over the old useless ones though.
Funny how 3 of the worst skills, Learning, Eagle Eye and First Aid, suddenly became 3 of the best.

Why do you consider Eagle Eye as one of the best now?

I never pick it, although it got better.

He only plays a single self-made map VS AI with a heavily modded (to a point where it is cheating) game.

Of course Eagle Eye still mostly makes sense on secondary heroes in combination with Scholar for instance.

Why do you call it cheating? I have done nothing to make the game easier, quite the opposite actually.

But your single map isn't also harder.. Ok I want to tell you.. When you beat computer, it after you give two towns to computer.. So you know how many towns can you play against the AI computer? Another you vs allied computer.. Is it 1 vs 4 or 1 vs 7.. Later on you raise PS to computer bonus.. What you can see my horror and terrible map.. But map is still a normal level..



Ok the next matter.. My joke:

Phoenix4ever: Computer is a weak

HC member: thus only one map

Phoenix4ever: I reveal my secret that I torture computer

HC member: Is install package in only scenario map?

Phoenix4ever: Yes, thus computer doesn't know other existence maps

HC member: I torture Metataxer's Revenge, Wayfarer, Paragon, etc by fat AI bonuses.. Computer knows easier and original maps in scenario..

Phoenix4ever: I said weak computer..



I love HC team..

But Phoenix4ever isn't cheater.. You know his stories, why we trust in story? Remember that story-teller is a two alternative: true strong or worse But if team chooses coach, and coach tells his experience, right?! Well players trust him.. And team gets champion! What a lucky!

Never had a massive problem with the nerf myself as someone who plays almost only default template. I guess what they could do is something similar to the 2 different types of hill fort.

Anti-virus flagged a couple of parts of the recent update. False-positives are so annoying to fix.

The files in question were HD3_Update.exe and HD3_Update.exe  data0002 ; both were flagged as Trojans, which I'm sure is a mistake on my anti-virus's part.

Just thought I'd give a heads-up.

EDIT: Okay, the AV guys were notified and I think they've fixed it now.

Здравствуйте. Сделайте, пожалуйста, если это хорошо, фильтр поиска сохранённых игр по дате. А то порой сложно найти "сохранёнку" по тем фильтрам, которые есть.

Рассмотрите возможность "поиграть" с улучшениями существ, или наоборот от улучшенных к обычным. Например, такие вариации можно представить:

1) Персонаж карты по типу джинов колдует магию улучшения/деулучшения существ.
2) вид заклинания (временно во время бо&#1103 улучшение существ или деулучшение.
3) объект, по типу свитков, бесплатного улучшения одного (возможно конкретного грейд&#1072 типа существ.

Также рассмотрите возможность колдовства - превращение одних существо в другие. Например, в вариации:

1) Способность нейтрального персонажа,возможно несколько вариаций одного типа нейтральных существо по градации силы превращения. Например,превращение третьего грейда - в первый или второго в первый...
2) Колдовство превращения - напр. нач уровень превращение существ первого грейда в существо первого грейда но слабее,продвинутый уровень - существо второго грейда в первый,эксперт - третий грейд в первый.
3) Возможно, оформить как навык колдовства - и будет 5 уровней магии превращения ( по типу магия воды, воздуха, земли, огн&#1103...
Например:
- превращение улучшенных существ в неулучшенные
- превращение одного грейда в другой
- возможно частичное превращение, напр - обычные существа с элементами/возможностями проявления способностей улучшенных.

Elixir of Life + First Aid

Just noticed that Elixir of Life and new First Aid are additive: So I have Angels with 284 HP and Gnoll Maraunders with 11.
