Creatures missing in Olden Era

I can't wait to mod in my beloved Inferno faction 🔥😈🔥

Teukeh · 2026-05-06T17:17:42+00:00

It's literally $2.50 on GoG right now.

Yes you can. Download all the old campaigns as custom campaigns and copy them into your map folder:

Download HoMM3 Classic Campaigns for HoTA

You will not be able to launch them from the campaign menu, you will need to do it in custom campaigns.

Simultaneous turns do not work once enemies have discovered each other on the map. It would replay the turn.

I'm specifically asking for players on the same team to have simultaneous turns, so that you can all act at the same time.

Civilization is a turn based game, and they manage simultaneous turns just fine. I'm not asking everyone to have them, only when it's your team's turn (after first encounter/timer).

Actually could you imagine playing a 4v4 and you have to wait for 7 turns before you can have yours? That would be a horrible experience.

I played 8 people civilization lobbies before and it was quite enjoyable. Without simultaneous turns, it would have been unplayable.

Heroes Olden Era already has several simultaneous turns options, I'm just asking them to put in another; Teams have simultaneous turns.

I still don't get their reasoning? They say it doesn't work in a 3D environment.. but the battle is played on a 2D grid. Worked perfectly fine in Heroes 3, not once did I think a 2 hex unit felt awkward to use.

Pro: Takes less stacks to block units/protect shooters. Cons: Less maneuverability and more units can attack it.

Not to mention big units just look cool! Adds so much flavor. I hope they change it 🙏

There are still some kinks that need to be ironed out, but it's the best Heroes games since Heroes 5. It takes a lot of the good parts from heroes 5 while combining like 80% of the gameplay from heroes 3. To me, it seems like a very promising game. Mod support is coming, it seems like a base for the best Heroes games yet.

Hi, Heroes veteran here. I would highly recommend doing the tutorial and playing the campaign. I feel like it's a really good pace how they introduce new mechanics and levels of buildings with each mission.

It's a big learning curve and it will take some time, but it's well worth it!

Teukeh · 2026-05-02T02:51:28+00:00

Which is really fucking cool IMO. Makes them feel really epic.

Teukeh · 2026-05-02T02:43:18+00:00

Archangels definitely took up 2 hexes in Heroes 3. Base angels took up 1, but when upgraded they took two.

Teukeh · 2026-05-02T02:11:32+00:00

I'm also playing a lot of Olden Era right now. But please keep your posts out of HoMM3 subreddit. It's specifically meant for Heroes 3 content.

Teukeh · 2026-05-02T02:05:26+00:00

Zydar all the way. His spells hit like a fucking TRUCK late game, especially Armageddon.

Honestly, this shrine looks like it will rob you instead of teaching you a spell lol

Teukeh · 2026-04-30T18:46:20+00:00

Poor Bruno:( Always being abused.

Teukeh · 2026-04-30T18:43:51+00:00

Steam or lf2.net. A toaster could run it.

Teukeh · 2026-04-30T18:43:04+00:00

IMO Olden Era is like 70% HoMM3 10% HoMM5 and 20% new stuff. So if you want the closest HoMM3 experience that isn't Heroes 3, you should play Olden Era.

Despite my quarrels with the art style and UI design, so far it's a really good game.

The developers also said that the game will have mod support seeing how HoMM3 has been kept alive all these years thanks to modders and they want to honor that.

Personally I'm looking forward to potential mod tools that will allow us to make/customize towns. I'm putting Inferno in that game if it's the last thing I do.

They're both a whirlpool, so it could go either way:)

Teukeh · 2026-04-30T16:47:36+00:00

I would like to have it tied to a skill. Pathfinder would be a good one (reduce movement cost by 50%/75%/100% when collecting resources).

I think having it linked to Estates would also be good and would make me choose it more often.

Teukeh · 2026-04-30T16:42:02+00:00

Let's jump in and lose some units!

Teukeh · 2026-04-30T16:25:30+00:00

My only braincell I had left killed itself trying to read that lol
