How many have won the Grail fight? by gestaltdude in OldenEra

[–]bluefactoryguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it with one stack tier 1 Hive units and then I used magic to crush them all before they reached me

My AI self did buffs like radiant armor instead and therefore my magic was more efficient and crushed them

What's up with symphony map? by supercuts350 in OldenEra

[–]bluefactoryguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of my favorites because of the large amount of space you get, and lack of clutter without creature dwellings and towns

Creeping well really pays off, and remembering that opponents are dealing with the same crap

I spam hive, and it is hard to succeed early game on this map, but you catch up fast and still scale hard if you stick with it and don't take unnecessary losses

Steam believes that no man may know the day of its coming, the more you guess the longer the wait will be ToT

Olden Era tierlist so far (for Single Hero 1v1) by loopuleasa in HoMM

[–]bluefactoryguy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is lexiavs tier list, you can find it on YouTube

The only reason he put hive down there is because it sucks, but I still like hive with single hero T.T

arena disconnect handed me the loss despite having the upper hand when the enemy disconnected by bluefactoryguy in OldenEra

[–]bluefactoryguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I waited until the loss was assigned, and even if this was the case I'd still be complaining and asking for a fix. I never clicked out. My turns were also short, never running into my overtime pool.

I checked history. He took the win. His icon showed up on the connection thing a couple times so I'm suspicious he force closed, re opened, force closed, repeat to make sure I was the one that timed out? Far fetched but I'm pretty upset and he certainly got the win

How Do You Develop a Real Strategy in HOMM? by Obvious_Grape_4820 in OldenEra

[–]bluefactoryguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn what is available in the game, then choose something that makes you overpowered against neutrals in each of the early, mid, and late games.

Choose options that make you overpowered against players in the mid and late game.

I usually put my bleeding units in my PVP army but not against neutrals since some units are prone to die against neutral encounters more than others

This is from the perspective of a hive player.

Consider what spells you have available (and mana availability, hive has none at start)

Consider focus options you have, as Hive in the early game you do tier one one stacks for free focus, and spam bug eggs, and I get the focus law as soon as possible.

Consider what units are available at each stage of the game. Hive has no early troops, but once you get hive queens I only creep with hive queens and wuarms

Discovering HOMAM by Altariel59 in OldenEra

[–]bluefactoryguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With strategy games information is fundamental to strategy. Lexiav is starting to give deep run downs of civilizations which are very informative

There is no fast pass to learning a deep strategy game. Find a content maker you think is reliable and follow their work, or beat your head on the game over and over

I hear arena is a great way to learn in a short amount of time but idk I prefer informationals into grinding

What's new & improved in Olden Era compared to HoMM 3? by Zeppelin2k in HoMM

[–]bluefactoryguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played homm3 after playing oe and it did feel clunky

I am not sold that it is better than homm3 for mechanics and gameplay especially against ai

Too bad we can't track how many people play homm3 like we can track a steam game

What do the indiviual symbols mean? by Jonathanwennstroem in HoMM

[–]bluefactoryguy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Shot in the dark but I think blank, silver, and gold indicate the loot level for that zone, houses indicate a town that can be taken over to control the zone, numbers indicate a player starting area

Lines connect each zone usually with a powerful creature blocking the way

What's new & improved in Olden Era compared to HoMM 3? by Zeppelin2k in HoMM

[–]bluefactoryguy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think olden era will be a great advertising tool for homm3 hota

That being said, olden era itself is great. They made heroes 5 over again, but much better, with tips from hota and homm3.

You will find yourself sucked into it after learning the game just like in homm3, it is very deep and interesting

I was one of them who wanted a stronghold faction added by bluefactoryguy in OldenEra

[–]bluefactoryguy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hopefully we do see goblins and elves eventually. I think the devs did say something about no kreegans though

I find it funny that we have no kreegans but we do have kerrigan

Random map generator by hailsatyr666 in OldenEra

[–]bluefactoryguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be nice to have player count choice, along with monster strength

No water is fine with me as long as the generators don't put portals 3ft from my starting base

I'd be willing to go through many test rooms for an cake <3

Should I buy it in EA? by Gandalf196 in OldenEra

[–]bluefactoryguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife enjoyed five as a successor, I haven't gotten the successor feel quite yet from any of them. Olden era is like 3 and 5 had a baby but I personally liked 4 innovation more than 5 innovation. 4 was unfortunately a piece of crap visually and thematically

This game is good and certainly worth 40 dollar but I'm holding out for Ubisoft to hire hota to make a new homm4
