That's what I do, anon. I just hope that the series can recover. Which is unlikely, but I still hope.

Sell the series back to JVC.

What is HOMM? A roguelike? An RPG? A strategy game? An RTS?

Also, which should I try first.

>>377674610
Turn Based Strategy

>>377674610
Basically turn based Warcraft 3

>>377674610
Go with HoMM III first since that seems to be the fan favourite

HOMM2 is best HOMM.

How much vodka do I need glub until I'm good at HOMM3?

>>377675231
Its true Homm III is the best but Homm V is probably easier to learn

How do I get gud? I enjoy the game but I am ass. Are there any LPs who are worth watching?

>>377674209
God those sprites are beautiful.

>>377674209

Crusaders for life.

>>377675291
HoMM5 is both more complex and a better game, though I guess its accessibility makes it easier to learn.

>>377672718
what is this game ? look good

>>377675493
x2
easy is too easy but normal i can't kill shit

>>377675581
Heroes of might and magic 3

>>377675553
>better game
debatable
at least it does do some new stuff and can be fun with TOTE

>>377675493
https://www.youtube.com/user/Chris67132/playlists this guy is pretty good, learned the value of using multiple heroes and decoy troops in battle from him.

I'll give it a watch. Thanks anon.

Is it viable to build a mage damage dealer hero? Or is mana always an issue?

>>377676107
>teleports behind tou
>"pshh... nothing personel kid"
>gives you expert eagle eye

>>377676251

Yes, mages shit on everything

Though mind control and similar spells are almost always more useful that damage spells

>>377672718
is it similiar to total war warhammer?

so heroes is over right

>>377676251

Mages are stronger early on because they have more mana and some mage heroes get high level spells from the get-go due to their skill speciality. Having a spell like chain lightning from the start makes clearing neutral archer stacks a lot easier. Later on some might heroes are better because of their infinitely scaling skill speciality, like Tzar with his Armorer bonus.
That being said, every hero should learn at least two magic schools. Earth is the most important one in the game by far, due to spells like Mass Slow, Resurrection and Town Portal. Air is usually the favorite as the second school, but there are some good uses for Fire and Water as well.

Just remember that might heroes will cast just as much spells as a mage would in the later game. It's more about the skill speciality and which factions you are playing. For example, I don't think fortress or stronghold should ever go with a mage hero because you are stuck with a level 3 mage tower.

Do you niggers have a comfy discord or irc ?

>>377675553
>better
The series went downhill with 4th

>>377677164
there is a /vr/ HoMM general

How the fuck can you fags prefer 3 to 2? The art direction in 3 is so bland and lifeless and the 3D models are garbage. The soundtrack is worse and the game is even more broken.

>>377678531
I play both and you're delusional if you think 2 is less broken than 3. You can beat 3 in less than a week just by massing gargoyles. Warlock is OP as fuck while Knight is total trash.

>>377678531
>the game is even more broken.

That's a fucking lie and you know it. Second game is the most broken shit with vampire lords and ghosts. Fuck you.

>you're delusional if you think 2 is less broken than 3.
>Second game is the most broken shit with vampire lords and ghosts.
Yes, the game that has multiple viable classes (Wizard, Sorceress, Warlock, Necromancer) is more broken than "lol the only way to balance necropolis is for everyone to pick necropolis."

Also, you can't control ghosts as a unit.
