Dear HotA Crew you really should do something about Cove and Leena.
Cove has one hero with 350 gold specialty and one hero with Estates, but they are both on Leena!
That makes Leena almost a "make or break" hero for Cove. If you get her it's smooth sailing, if not it can be a treacherous ride.
It would be much better if one Cove hero has 350 gold specialty and another Estates, that way you don't rely so much on Leena.

Guys, town portal spell being guaranteed to show up in town after 3 researches makes Earth magic even more powerful. When playing multiplayer games not getting earth magic feels like a sure loss.
I think the best solution is to make town portal part of all magic schools so that no matter which one you have (earth, air, water, fire) you can use it to its fullest.

That might be a good idea, it makes Earth Magic less of a mandatory skill and it will become easier to learn TP since it can be cast from all 4 tomes of magic. Though you probably still want Earth Magic for Mass Slow, perma Res, Mass Shield and Mass Stone Skin etc.
TP in all schools will make AI a lot harder though, but perhaps that's good.

I downloaded 1.7.3, and installed HotA.. Yes mapeditor can use well, no virus and spy! Just clean! Don't try to cheat us.. If we don't notice..
Ok I can make to Lynch XVII and Mystic Island.. Lynch XVII is third and final scenario, first The Dead Ornament, second The Puzzler.. But the most strongest map can be Mystic Island, when I made and played in H4, stupid AI attacked other AIs went to RIP in the 1 month, and then arrived my town.. Ok broken motherboard, thus I can't open an old harddisk.. I create a HotA map, because I wanted to see map becomes easier or harder.. I test it..
Description? I wrote in VW:
Ok guys..
I think to make a map that is my H4 map, when you can beat the AI in only 1% possibly.. I told you that my broken motherboard, thus harddisk in maps, but I remember by heart, only problem is creature, when score of ballistae, what I can replace to horde of creatures.. Even if difficulty has similar to fort, and level +7 creatures in a sawmill.. But AIs.. When if I haven't tested yet.. I call new world wog/ERA.. First map was Abandoned Colony in expert, newer map is impossible.. So description says I make a map is from my H4 map, and what I wanted to see what kind of AI, does map works well etc Nothing description, thus an original text hasn't text i.e. empty in H4 map.. But a new map name, when a mysterious island took my map name over..* In there AI will wins in 99%.. Let's see does map is successful.. Ratings etc are meaningless, when I am ex-Hexis and ex-Rylos.. Go to difficulty impossible.. L - sized map.. Go to HotA.. I think that throng Crystals, horde Azures, throng serpents, etc by coloured H3.. They come your fort in first month.. Faster than Julia, Avenger by bonuses.. You must go to the sea.. And 7days, but H4 freely..
*I remembered wrong, yes Mystic Island.. Another Crystals? When H4 was Gargantuans, Evil Sorceresses, Megadragons..
..+90% to AI, but H3? Exciting!
Ok enjoy soon or silence!
Hail HotA.. Thus majority can test a Mystic Island..

Been playing All In on version 1.7.3 for the past 3 weeks. Currently at map 4. Date is M3, W1, D6.
Can someone please explain how the hell am I supposed to fight 700 Power Liches? I already had a feeling something would go wrong later on the moment I had to babysit Kilgor on map 2. I seriously doubt Dargem's Air Shield is that strong.

I personally like the quirk of them only available through diplomacy (in non-custom maps). That makes them pretty special even thought they aren't strong. When a player has them, it carries a bit of a flex/novelty with it.

Just beat All In. The campaign is slightly easier given how high Forged in Fire set the bar.
Rushed down the 700 Power liches and the final map. Took me one month overall.

I would like to see a difference between creatures that can fly and ones that can teleport.
An artefact or a spell that can nerf the speed of flying creatures but has no effect on the teleporting ones.
And a specialist in Force Field - with it as a starting spell and it lasts 3 turns.

Is this yet again some sort of riddle we must complete to learn something about the future of Hota?

Nice work! I really like the atmosphere in this cut scene. And of course it's a very great feature we can finally expect an English narrator for the scenes.
Besid this trailer I was wondering during the anniversary video about the trailer for the Board Game. It sounded like three new factions have been announced. The cowboy hat probably stands for Factory, the viking helmet probably for Bulwark and the cyborg possibly for Forge? I know we won't get an answer about this, but it seems to me like the development of Bulwark could maybe be much more advanced than I thought if it was announced even in the Board Game. And does the cyborg mean that there are plans for Forge in the future?

The cyborg-by-description doesn't seem all that indicative to HOTA - if it is Forge (which does seem likely), that doesn't necessarily mean the board game's take on it actually has anything to do with the HOTA crew. The cowboy hat and and horned but otherwise viking helmet definitely seem likely to point to Factory and Bulwark (even more so given the respective "gears turn" and "stand unbroken" descriptions), but Forge was, of course, an actual official NWC town for Heroes 3, just not a finished and released one. Archon Studios has quite a bit to draw from for it without involving HOTA.

What does AEON mean?
Like eon?
A very long time period?
Oh, and by the way - Bulwark Grail will allow to recruit Azure Dragons.
That's my theory.

Generally speaking, it's simply another valid way to spell eon.

Dear HotA Crew!
Let me ask you a thing:
I always had a problem with Efreet Sultans..
They are supposed to be a superior versions of Master Djinns, yet they cannot cast any spells.
In the original version Restoration of Erathia in 1999, the Sultan's could use spells, the casting animation was already in the def file, but later the decision wa made to leave it out of the game. The animation is still there, unused.
Efreet Sultans sadly one of the weakest level 6 creatures, low HP, low attack. Their only advantage is high speed. Their fire shield ability makes sense, but makes so little damage, it is almost ridiculous. Make them a bit stronger (for a level 6) by give the fire shield more damage output.. It would compensate their low HP, and damage.
Secondly give them the option to use their special ability: Casting 'Fire shield' on a friendly creature once per combat. They deserve that.
Please consider what I suggested.

Mm, this post would be more suited to the 'ideas and suggestions' thread: http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=43966&pagenumber=213]
