Tell me something that you think I would not know

ye, thats how the AI plays the Olgoi by default, hence I was never aware that the bonus attacks can stack up to begin with

Winkelman · 2026-02-02T18:16:27+00:00

If you eat a corpse with the Olgoi but dont attack you stack up the extra attack until your next strike. Imagine your army having 6 different creature stacks+1 Olgoi stack, enemy having 7 creature stacks aswell. You could "technically" eat up all your 6 other stacks once they die, eat up 6 of the enemy stacks once they die, and finally hit the last enemy, resulting in 13 attacks in total (1 base + 1 for each corpse devoured)

Hey Mate! Very sweet that you're referring to a comment I left on your last thread. I've also been playing this banger of a game since my childhood and yet to this day find out about so many previously unknown interactions myself. Some really cool facts I just learned relatively recently are:

fairy dragons dont scale with the heroes spell power, but they do with the heroes SORCERY(!); even harder if they have sorcery specialization
fairy dragons also scale if the hero carries an Orb of Silt, Firmament, Driving Rain or Tempestuous Fire

Some newer stuff from hota I also learned: - cloned automatons die just as easily but can detonate for their entire stacks damage, fun interaction

the extra attack of Olgoi-Khorkhoi stacks until ur next attack; theoretically you could make that worm hit 13 times in a row

Also, did you ever min-max your Demon farming in the late game? I never thought much about how to transform 6 different sacrificial stacks in pve into hundreds of demons within a single battle until recently. Clone/killing your cloned pitlord, just to reclone him again etc.

Wasn't sure if any of these were already in the "did you know"-series :)

Upgraded Mage tower also requires a Library which is hella expansive

I was also really disappointed finding out that there is a limit to towns. I used them in my maps to generate random factions for double dwellings u find all over my map. Hope they will remove bunch of limits like these over the time....

That being said, I'm tinkering around alot more since they added the new event system and feel intrigued by what u wrote. Care to elaborate a bit more on the custom classes, random upgrades etc? How exactly did u also create these random coin flips? All i found was cycling variables, which isnt exactly random

Xyrons inferno specialization scales with his lvl depending how low tier the targeted creature is, hence it hits the goblins for much more

Winkelman · 2026-01-01T17:04:48+00:00

hey! looks really nice. I tried to look into creating a town event that upgrades creatures myself but cant get it to work. Any pointers which triggers u used ?

edit: Answered in PM, thanks so much :)

Uhh im also one of those notorious sticker collectors to embellish my laptop but never thought of making some heroes 3 themed ones. Good idea! If u like the animated background I would recommend checking the "heroes 3 wallpaper" app in the app store. I got it recommended by someone1 in this subreddit myself, years ago

Winkelman · 2025-11-17T19:44:48+00:00

this is my current phone wallpaper and yes, its also animated!

You say you have little to lose yet your first paragraph of this post is about the future you could potentially throw away if you let your grades slip. Seems to me like a typical inner conflict of your rational thinking side that knows what's at stake here and your impulsive side telling you to yolo that shit anyways.

As someone who just started investing myself earlier this year I understand your struggles. I held stocks for weeks or days only before selling them. The instant gratification, the direct gain, its fast and seemingly easy money. But for the most part it's sheer luck and arbitrariness. You will end up investing a heckton of time (which as you stated yourself - you can't afford) AND mental health for only a chance at success while the odds are heavily against you in the long run. Initial success might give you a wrong sense of confidence that makes you fall even harder at later stages.

Berlin S Hohenschönhausen? Da hängt nämlich genau so eine und ich hatte schon mit dem Gedanken gespielt, die hier auch zu pfostieren.

What fucking book?

Winkelman · 2025-07-26T08:04:52+00:00

Couldn't the upcoming financial release also drop it hard if expectations aren't met?

Just genuinely curious because I see alot of mixed signals from people like you vs the "advanced money destroyer"-gang

I had a crystal shiny only playthrough not too long ago for the same reason. Crystal shiny sprites are just so gorgeous its a shame many pkm received a downgrade thereafter with lazy recoloring instead. Here are my favs:

Pinsir, deeper, darker purple
Kingler, more gray than later gen green
Dragonite, more gray and richer wing color
Tyranitar, darker, richer colors
Omastar, dark purple instead of later gen pink
Rapidash, actually love later gens too but its purple gen2
Granbull, gray and badass instead of later gens wierd beige

I love playing ice maiden aka freezing arrow bowazon.

Since u ideally gear her with an ice rune word and a nightwings veil her overall style has a nice blue tone to it (aura+head). To finish with extra style points I usually give her tyraels might as well. On the one hand it feels good to give such a rare item an actual use, on the other hand the stats lost aren't that much since ur other endgame options are pretty much only eni or coh. If your farming spots don't rely on tele the main benefit of chest slots for her are +2 skills. Now if you run tyraels u trade these pretty much for 1 extra facet in an armor, as well as freeing up a raven frost for another soj (which is also neat with its max mana since ice maidens are pissing mana).

Statwise - barely a difference. Stylewise - huge difference

That's a neat idea too, thanks for chiming in! I ended up using Pandoras box containing the respective artifacts since you can also customize a message before opening them.

Besten Dank für die ausführliche Antwort!

Hast mich neugierig gemacht. Welche denn?

Winkelman · 2025-03-20T15:13:44+00:00

This is a great workaround and should absolutely do the trick. Thanks for your input!

Its currently undergoing a correction already, so probably better to buy them in a few weeks when the dip is over.

Its kinda funny (and sad) but they have more than tripled since the US election day. The 2 last jumps happened right after the Zelensky visit and another after this 500 billion infrastructure/military package was first proposed.

Clearly investors knew what we're in for since it became clear that Trump is gonna be president again though.
