@@vonSarno Same! Although with me more like a shocking 250+, on steam alone, not mentioning the time I played it before it came on steam and the similar time on the first one. It seems to be a very hard game to let's play though. A couple of yogs have already tried making videos on it and they haven't worked. And its not the turn-based style L&B prefer. But I'd love to see them give it a go.
Ive been spamming sjin for some m+b too, beside an evening with sips hes the only yog that has done and mount and blade. Lewis and ben playing mount and blade would be fucking amazing though.
My favorite cinematic is the "Exterminatus of Typhon Primaris" and the best line in it all, "Yet ultimately, it was I who set these events into motion, with a single blow from my mighty hammer. God Splitter."
Really happy to see LewLew and Ben listen more to the viewers and really starting to understand the game, develop a meta etc. Credit where credit is due, this stream is a lot less frustrating and a whole lot more fun!
I think all the UI and QoL stuff is from Horn of the Abyss (the pirate mod). H3 HD+ adds some little features like that, but it's only one or two small ones, so the rest must be from HotA.
2:18:42 You just won a battle to get the Orb of Silt, which increases damage from Earth spells by 50%. Your hero goes up a level, gains 1 spell power, and is offered a choice between expert resistance and Earth magic. You turn the Earth magic down. WHY?! It's painful to see players make such bad decisions.
You should consider visiting maps4heroes. There you can find countless fanmade maps. If you pick one that has good rating, it will almost certainly be better than the vanilla maps (although the Horn of the Abyss maps already tend to be better than the original ones). Random maps are perfect for multi player. Playing single player I would recomment trying some of the fanmade maps. :)
"It looks like it could just fit into the game" Honestly, it looks more like it could fit into the game than the fucking Conflux does and that IS an official expansion. The whole Conflux faction looks and feels rushed and out of place.
are you sure its the HD mod aswell with the original or could you just put hor n of the abyss on the steam version to get back all the shit they took out. i loved playing this as a kid.
@@max16 Sadly, the steam version does not allow you to use any of those mods. This is partly because the steam version does not include the official expansions. You have to buy the Heroes 3 Complete Edition (from gog for example).
And in general the turn based while lacking simultaneous turns is not a style they want for mass multiplayer games ie Civilization channel style content.
Since u have based all the fanclub names on ur TTT skins. Bens - Chums Tom - Senet Lewis - PC master race (exaption to the rule) Is Sjins - Snowflakes? Zylus - Frogs? or maby since kormit loves his pig, are they called pigs?
He is waiting, not skipping. Huge difference and he usually does it when he should. Not always but everyone make mistakes especially when new to a game. All in all, he is doing fine
I never thought I'd join the Dick-rip brigade, but as someone who's played a LOT of this game growing up, I'm seeing a lot of plays I don't agree with (I'd call them misplays, but I'm not 100% sure I was making the right ones either, haha). Great video, though and I love the idea of the pirate faction!
Pleeease play Age of Wonders 3, or even better, Age of Wonders 2: Shadow Magic, the BEST "homm-style" game in history. 49:50 well it depends on how you play, not really about the game. If you only play on Tiny maps, sure you only ever need 1 army. But considering that the game features 4 increasingly exponentially larger map sizes, and has a fairly high hero and city cap, i'd say the game by itself is designed for more than just 1 doomstack, if nothing else simply due to how large the maps are. The same thing applies to Civ. When you guys livestream and play in Online (fastest) speed where everything just takes 1 turn to build (thus wrecks any game balance since a Horseman and Tank takes the same turns to build, despite having different hammer-costs), and on tiny maps, you cant really discuss how the game as a core is balanced or designed. Because the "normal" way to play Civ is on larger maps in slower speed (i'd argue most non-youtubers play it on Huge maps and Epic speed, but at the very least lets agree that Normal speed on Normal maps is the norm). Which again comes into play when Lewis discusses Civ and says things like "you never need more than 4 cities". Yeah, good luck with that on a Huge map in Epic speed, where science output actually matters, and you can fight wars before reaching gunpowder, not just in 20 minutes of play. Again, it all depends on how YOU play the game. But if you usually play it on anything BUT the "normal" settings in the game (map sizes, speed, etc), then you cant really say what is normal to do in the game. You cant say you usually only need 1 army, if your entire experience with the game is on abnormally small maps. It's YOUR choice to alter the balance / gameplay design of the game by choosing those scenarios. As with Civ, we're lucky they even have all those speed and map size options, but in reality, the game is NOT balanced for such tiny rapid settings. We're just lucky it even works marignally well at all on those settings, because that isnt what the core balance is designed for. This will come into play even more with the new expansion with map-wide natural disasters. I dread to think how insane that will be in Online speed, where one turn is like a hundred years. But if you guys get a volcano every 3 turns, you cant then say "thats so OP", when you chose that gamespeed and small map :p
@@JustAskMeTV101 Why not? I've seen other Yog streams where they do it. Hell, they do it in Civ all the time. They fucking give each other play-by-play almost constantly. Also, there are team maps they could play if they wanted to play together. It just seems a really weird thing to do, imo.
MORE HOMM PLS!
MOOOOOOOOOOORE HHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!
More Heroes of Might and Magic III!! this is one of my all time favourite games and I love watching you guys play it
Oh yes! My favorite childhood game/series!
Would love to see you guys play some Mount & Blade Warband! Keep up the great vids!
Great suggestion! i have played it for probably 100+ hours and sadly never completed it....still many hours of fun well spent

I, for one, would like a video of Lewis and Ben WATCHING an xcom tutorial.
Seriously Ben, reactions aren’t that complicated
thanks to you guys and these streams i bought the game myself on Gog!
I hope they make HOMM a regular thing, I’m loving it
Yes loving it ! Do some more please, maybe try some campaigns !
Awww poor ben... id love to have your autograph
This game was 90% of my childhood.
I support the x-com tutorial/"thought process" video please.
Really happy to see LewLew and Ben listen more to the viewers and really starting to understand the game, develop a meta etc. Credit where credit is due, this stream is a lot less frustrating and a whole lot more fun!
You just picked the +125 gold guy without an army over the +350 gold guy with an army. :D
Have you got a link to the mod that gives. You the tool tips at the 8:00 mark.... You guys rock

OMG HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC YESSSS
They should play HoMM IV
will they ever play HOMM 5? that was my first ever pc game and I love it to bits
Lewis' fan club being called "the master race" is perfect Lewis edgy awkwardness.
59:49 The return of Happy Snek.
Is the Wednesday strategy stream after Divinity with Duncan lost? I don't see it in vod on twitch
It's working! It's Working!
You can turn off the auto combat and if you still want to quick resolve just press "q" in combat.
May I have some more please?
58:51 should be in a ThatMadCat compilation
FINALLY

Wizard Suth hahaha it’s really not that upsetting
Like,like,like,like -Lewis 2019
The devs of the mod has teased a new faction.
should be doing a lot of housework and shit, but instead ill just spend 2 and a half hours watching this. MORE HOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
1:25:20 Ad break begins
1:25:45 Ad break cancelled
You're welcome.
So good

FUCK yeah i got excited when i saw this
Can you guys play heroes 6?
so many of my donations... all worth it ^^
Fuck yess! More!!!!
Some of the decisions you guys are making make me cringe, but I can’t stop watching! Would love to play in a game of homm with you guys
Giving the pirate hero dungeon units and the dungeon hero pirate units... reeeeeeee
Ben... why do you hate the birds so much? Always getting them killed >.> lol
I know this is several years late, but why does Ben keep calling deckhands 'dickhands?'
"It looks like it could just fit into the game" Honestly, it looks more like it could fit into the game than the fucking Conflux does and that IS an official expansion. The whole Conflux faction looks and feels rushed and out of place.
because it was rushed, look up Heroes of might and magic Forge
what mod is this?
Horn of the Abyss + HD mod
are you sure its the HD mod aswell with the original or could you just put hor n of the abyss on the steam version to get back all the shit they took out. i loved playing this as a kid.

Ahh. fair enought. oh well. i have a complete edition of heros 1-5 that i never unwrapped. maybe ill rip it out and give her another crack. :P
@@max16 You should ^^ Heroes 2 is really good as well and even Heroes 1 is fun
MORE HOMM!!!
Why dont they play homm3 mp?
That wouldn't really work with the format
And in general the turn based while lacking simultaneous turns is not a style they want for mass multiplayer games ie Civilization channel style content.
@@slimek20 This expansion also adds simultaneous turns btw
1:27:08
Since u have based all the fanclub names on ur TTT skins.
Bens - Chums
Tom - Senet
Lewis - PC master race (exaption to the rule)
Is Sjins - Snowflakes?
Zylus - Frogs? or maby since kormit loves his pig, are they called pigs?
TFW Ben skips every units turn in the entire first round of combat..
He is waiting, not skipping. Huge difference and he usually does it when he should. Not always but everyone make mistakes especially when new to a game. All in all, he is doing fine

If they played against each other they couldn't really talk about the game at all
