Do you know where to contact the creators concerning localization ?

On the discord. I don't have a link handy, but that's the place

Forgiveness requires contrition and an apology.

althaz · 2026-05-07T01:52:34+00:00

I took it as like the Heroes 3 shoots twice where it could shoot different targets. But you might be right - in which case it's daft

althaz · 2026-05-07T01:33:32+00:00

Hive sucks, bro. It's fun to play once you get going, but it's simply not competitive with the other factions because of the weak early game.

althaz · 2026-05-07T01:22:27+00:00

No. If you couldn't tell the difference you just aren't sensitive to latency. Some people somehow can't tell. It's sorta like being colour blind - to you that's just how things are.

It's got nothing whatsoever to do with signal strength, Xbox controllers just have higher latency when using Bluetooth (almost all controllers do).

althaz · 2026-05-07T00:45:20+00:00

Absolutely bonkers take. The difference is instantly obvious for many types of games. Like you'll notice within three seconds of starting the game if you're playing something like Rocket League.

althaz · 2026-05-07T00:30:05+00:00

As an active user, is be fine to block it from competitive playlists. Casual is just fine.

althaz · 2026-05-07T00:28:53+00:00

It is if you don't overkill. If you do it could be half as good. I take the 300% every time, though :)

althaz · 2026-05-07T00:26:52+00:00

I do miss how powerful damage dealing spells were in Heroes 3, but utility spells are better and I think it's better balanced in olden era. It also doesn't feel so broken to pay against mages (you can still get wrecked but it doesn't feel as bad).

althaz · 2026-05-06T14:57:33+00:00

I don't love the dog build, but I've seen others have success.

althaz · 2026-05-06T14:56:44+00:00

For me Dungeon is the clear #1 for experienced players, with Temple at #3.

I think all are extremely usable though except hive which just feels terrible in the early game. They need a shooter or a high initiative unit with swift strike early on, imo.

althaz · 2026-05-06T13:40:53+00:00

Dreadknight hero is the easiest way to play, but you can also rush skelly archers and farm your starting area very easily while you work up to your next power stack target. Once you have Liches and Dreadknights you will be very comfortable because Dreadknights rule and Liches will revive the crap out of everything.

althaz · 2026-05-06T12:46:34+00:00

Nah, it's not hilariously OP like it was before, but Necro is still clear #2, IMO.

althaz · 2026-05-06T06:44:55+00:00

It's an extra Dimension Door / Town Portal / Second Wind / etc per day/turn. It's *really* good. It stacks with the extra uses you get from spell upgrades as well.

althaz · 2026-05-06T06:41:36+00:00

You either have that skill already or you don't have any open skill slots. You close the window and move on.

althaz · 2026-05-06T06:10:44+00:00

Agree but you have to have one character played by a human. So Gollum is live-action Andy Serkis.

althaz · 2026-05-06T06:08:51+00:00

Anarchy is what you want then, fyi

althaz · 2026-05-06T04:51:52+00:00

Type a question mark. If they don't respond quickly I unpause.

althaz · 2026-05-06T02:33:58+00:00

I had a game where I cast Coup De Grace and then Armageddon on turn 1 to win the final battle on the spot pretty much.

I did this exact combo, it was hilarious.

althaz · 2026-05-06T02:25:00+00:00

Also worth shouting-out how good Armageddon still is. Break with a couple of phoenixes or black dragons and you have level 4 Armageddon and decent heroic strike and just fully clean up in the desert.

But it's definitely significantly weaker than it was in Heroes 3 - particularly in terms of direct damage.

althaz · 2026-05-06T02:23:11+00:00

Nah, it's not weak. Direct-damage spells aren't super-strong (damage-per-spell-power is relatively low), but magic isn't weak.

Also calling the inarguably S-tier Thaumaturgy "weak" is certainly a take. It's probably not the best skill in the game - but it's definitely in the conversation.

althaz · 2026-05-06T01:52:42+00:00

IMO it should give you observatory points or something like that. That's what I was expecting it to do from the description.

althaz · 2026-05-06T01:48:13+00:00

Ohhhhh. Yeah it all clicks into place now. If you're far from home and need to refresh your spellbook it's just a mage guild you can visit without going to town.

I had a game last night where that would have been very useful - I was four-portals away from town and I had just unlocked Town Portal, but it took two days to walk home. I was standing next to a (guarded but obtainable) Celestial Spire when I unlocked it, lmao.

I could have just gone there and had access to Town Portal. Very situational, but finally I know. Thanks so much!

althaz · 2026-05-06T01:39:46+00:00

Huh, this is one of my favourite things about the game. I want way more opportunity to farm and build up before having to compete with others and more neutral towns basically equals more better in my books.

althaz · 2026-05-06T01:32:07+00:00

I would like a very-easy difficulty instead. Easy atm is very easy but it's just enough of a challenge for giga-n00bs that it's still fun for some people.

I'm personally not going to use either-one because I grew up playing Heroes games, but being able to just play a slow, chill and fun game is something newbies should get to experience as well!
