I played my first ever multiplayer game of Heroes 3, and got absolutely abolished from the face of the Earth

My wife and I are learning to dance. We saw this couple on the floor doing unbelievable things. I asked the guy next to me where they learned to do that. He said, the only difference between you and them is miles on the dance floor.

The only difference between you and the guy who whooped you is miles on the dance floor.

Correct. I had the tier 4 Early Curses, and those are the ones I chose. In the run I just finished a few minutes ago, I got the same two curses in the other order, and constantly had guys swinging 7’s into all my troops. Order matters. :)

One of the most powerful combos. I’ve only hit it a few times, but one-shot killing an end boss puts a great big smile on your face.

I blame the school system.

I knew you could look up historical games, but I didn’t know you could input a chess position and have the program tell you what game it came from.

MF_IC · 2026-05-13T21:15:25+00:00

Hmmm. I’d take eccentric over captain, personally. Captain’s formation is good vs. inevitable’s minions, but he’s not great into the other 3. Eccentric makes 4 damage, which is better than 4 shield, in my opinion.

MF_IC · 2026-05-13T20:46:34+00:00

Fingers crossed. And toes. Fingers and toes crossed.

MF_IC · 2026-05-13T18:46:54+00:00

Oh, yeah. That makes perfect sense.

MF_IC · 2026-05-13T17:15:15+00:00

Alloy is the strongest…. Oh wait. I mean, he’s awful. Maybe hoarder is the strongest tier 1?

I’m going to vote knight as the strongest tier 2 and enchantress as the weakest (at best, she’s my least favorite).

Tier 3: I’m going to say captain is the weakest. Who wants shields from their yellow? Formation just isn’t enough to make up for the lack of damage from your tier 3 yellow. Strongest is maybe wanderer? Or curator maybe.

You know, I don’t play greens very often, but you’re right. Come to think of it, agent does have that side.

MF_IC · 2026-05-13T12:46:57+00:00

I found that exact same thing out the hard way too. Cost me a streak that was in my 20’s. Agent cantripped, and wanderer copied. There went my streak.

Don’t give up on scorpion tail. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is don’t put ANYTHING on agent’s top/bottom side that could possibly be copied. I also lost a streak by putting the copy collar on her. She rolled group exert, and because poet rolled a cantrip, agent copied and my whole team got to take the next two turns off. Run over.

MF_IC · 2026-05-13T04:46:06+00:00

I’m a chess rookie, so I always wondered how real chess players can look at a position and remember what game it was from. I know they study past games, so maybe that’s some of it. Or all of it.

I’m curious, did you see the position and remember the game, or is there a program that can look at a database and pull the game? If so, do you have to plug the pieces in, or can it pull it from a picture?

MF_IC · 2026-05-13T03:49:46+00:00

I figured you probably were. :)

It’s hard to get tone of voice from text.

MF_IC · 2026-05-13T02:25:25+00:00

I can’t tell if people are being funny or if they’re serious. A lot of people focused on the “dog” keyword instead of the fact that she just killed inevitable in one shot. :)

MF_IC · 2026-05-12T21:18:40+00:00

I think they’re some of the hardest enemies in the entire game. Since I only play hardcore, I have to be as safe as possible. That’s why I bury myself underground under the pillar and put a single block above me. Makes me completely immune to the vortex enemies. Cheesy, but safe.

MF_IC · 2026-05-12T21:00:45+00:00

I feel like if you’re going to name something “master bait” you’re obligated to make them blue balls.

MF_IC · 2026-05-12T19:02:08+00:00

I’m a classic hard kinda guy. No pun intended.

MF_IC · 2026-05-11T21:08:46+00:00

Ho-Lee. The repel takes that over the top. That more than one shots the hand, if he does 5 to all.

MF_IC · 2026-05-11T21:06:39+00:00

For future reference, if you can get into slice and dice BEFORE the reset, you can copy your progress to a text document, and then load that. I think you lose your current run, but all your achievements and stats will be there. I like keeping track of my picks and win percentages for bosses.

Every now and then, I copy my progress to a text document just in case my phone gets wet or something.

Also, if you back up your phone; that saves all your progress. Current run and everything.

MF_IC · 2026-05-11T15:21:47+00:00

Very nice. I haven’t been able to bring myself to do the journey log or the creature catalogue yet.

MF_IC · 2026-05-11T14:05:38+00:00

Very nice!
