timetables
not sure what kind of maps you're talking about. On ToH maps, week 3-4 is NOT early. High ranked players get everything (garrisons, utopias etc.) done before week 4.
So for a homework (if you like fixed maps): Download the map "Showdown 3", until week 3, day 7 take:
-your other 2 towns
-pandora's box
-at least one utopia
-library and / or cartographer
Then come back and tell us what you learned

I clearly know Might heroes own magic heroes in main heroes, but that is late game, early in the game a 7 spell power solymr can rip most of the army in two shots, by the week 3-4.
I'll try to explain to u why not only is Solmyr a magic hero, He is a bad one too: If playin randoms, There will be lots of small fights, and since one chain lightning will use most of solys spell points, he's no good here, the more fights, the better might heroes is. So, u wont be able to use youre heroes specialty at all the first weeks, makin this hero useless.
Quote:
And againg talking about spells... Do you really play with DD , fly, and town portal? those spell are A win, only having them. Second, I hear armaggedon is lame....i know the combo, but i rarely run it, Anyway, i don't play with armaggedon anymore, since most people suggested me to ban it.
Why u want to ban armageddon? Youre talkin of making the magic heroes useful as mains, but still u want to ban spells that might be game winning for magic heroes. DD/fly are banned by most players though...
Quote:
Who good is summon elemantal? I get this spell most of the time (think i play with no DD, Fly or Magic mirror) And i'm really not sure who this spell can be better to resurrection , clone, and berzeker. all 4th level spells.
Summon elemental...lol, extremely powerful! IF u enter a main fight and u have less troops than youre opponent, these spells might save u the day. And even if he kills all youre normal living units, u still wont lose youre hero....maybe even too powerful. This spell is also a spell that makes magic heroes useful as mains...
Quote:
and i hate random maps.
Why? If u want to start playin online now, youre only hope is random maps, those vets have played the fixed tournie maps over and over again for a few years now
Quote:
I found Inferno the weakest town, i don't see what adavantage it have over, Castles, ramparts, fortress, examples.
They don't have impressive units, the best is maybe the sultans, and the aren't really impressive....
Demons......lots of demons

"a 7 spell power solymr can rip most of the army in two shots, by the week 3-4. And is hard to see Might heroes bringing expert magic in battle so early on"
on single player, u can go this slow, but in multiplayer games u need to be much much faster or u will get flogged.
"i hate random maps"
randoms r based on templates, there are now custom templates that are half way between a random and fixed map. try the rmg file for Blockbuster. At least u will have a chance of a win, on fixed maps u will get toasted by ppl who have played them for 4 years.

Sombody said that if you cast summon elemental that even if you lose all your living troops your hero wont die.
I experimented with this idea and thats exactly what did happen. Come the end of the battle both heroes disappeared. What is more, i was unable to rehire.
Otherwise surely by now everybody would be walking into a main battle with ? x 1000 elementals.

LOL, I must have an buggy homm complete version then
no ballista, after battle my hero run around with no units at all.......
If I remember right the hero will also be able to rehire in tavern after a castle battle with u inside, winning game with only elementals left.....but this way of winning is really lame......but it might be arguable if it is a bug or not..

if ur defending a town and win by summoning but all other troops gone - your hero survives. if in the open - your hero dies if the other person surrenders when u have no original troops left. If u wanna summon, get shackles, then u can make sure u at least kill the opponents hero.
The other good thing with summon spells, is u can run with only high speed troops, then hit a huge stack, and summon them to death. This way u can have a 2nd hero with your slow troops killing something else.

If I am not mistaken 3d0 added this feature to stop players from ignoring the summoned creatures and killing all the other troops to ensure that even if they lose the fight the other would lose their hero also. I believe this came out in the 1.4 patch.

I looked the showdown3 scnenario
And i have lot of questions, First, Who in the hell can like that map? The only strategy in that map is build a hero attack and expect to win!, uhu? that's strategy to you all? Where is the map control you need in map with 20-30 towns to control?. Where is that strategy? what a poor level.True is the map have a veary easy hero growth, Now i understand why people talk about heroes of 40-50 primary skills points in week 4...with all those utopias, Library, Relics, and chests and houses of devolpment, itŋs an easy job. Why donŋt make maps where eack player starts with angel wings and 4 Helms of enlightment? So you will happy to control SUPER HEROES!........

well, taking a look at the map is not enough, I'm afraid. Did you try to play it and get the things done I've mentionned? I'm not saying the map is the greatest and everybody has to like it, but it is a good opportunity to test your playing techniques. Of course it is easy to build a great hero with super stats against the AI, but can you do it quick enough, so that you have a chance in multiplayer ?
Anyways, I can only second what others said already. Enter the arena; after talking the talk, it's time for walking the walk
