Just as a heads up, I'm moving house at the moment and might not be able to dedicate as much time as I'd like to making videos over the next few weeks, please bear with me. Thanks!
May the bear be with you.
Of course, your rather slow phased content is essential in this fast moving world
@@somakarpati9847 how poetic
Good luck with the move. It can be a pain in the neck.
Roar 🐻
RIP to the unnecessarily killed armadillos...
F
Man, those poor armadillos... they seem like such a good unit too 😁
I think it's fine to use Fly, personally I'm watching this series to see the new faction, it's not really about the challenge. Also you still haven't made contact with any enemy players so Fly would be useful to add more momentum, it's beginning to feel like you're a bit stuck in the starting zone.
Fly is so OP that it takes away every last drop of a challenge though. In my opinion, cobblestone roads that always lead to other towns allow for plentiful opportunities to gain momentum already
We miss you Norovo!
Still hoping Norovo will one day finish this playthrough (without fly, dd and resurrection, preferably) :) Very promising map and there've been plenty of quality battles already. Factory surely enables interesting tactics!
Let's go! Got my tea and biscuits ready for some sweet Norovo HoMM3 action.
Mass slow would have helped with the fight against the pirates at 26:00. Good luck with the move noro. Can't wait for the next upload!
I like animation speed 3 better. Also i think you should focus on using the factory units, but just go ahead and use all spells as well :)
I think it would actually be nice for a change to see you use fly and other movement spells, just to see what tactics you'd use and what approach you'd take with (almost) no restrictions 😁
It should also help with defending towns which is usually a big part of your playthroughs!
I think He could make a series in the future, where he creates biggest map possible with maximum opponents and where he does not limit himself at all.
Here's my suggestion for Fly:
Using it to speed up the playthrough/taking fights/collecting resources = all good.
Using it to cheese your way to a Town to defend against a hero cause you messed up = not good.
I love your videos man. Also your voice is the best background noise to sleep to. Please upload every once in a while
I reckon either: a) limit movement spells and allow other town units, or b) limit units to only Factory, and allow movement spells.
I personally prefer a) option. I saw his _Rediscovery_ Series, where he (as I remember), used the limitation of movement spells and it really did the series more enjoyable.
Looking forward to more videos!
I really like the play with splitting up forces and get different stuff done at different parts of the map ❤️
18:44 What a nice battle! A good display of the power of the factory faction.
Hello Noro! Great video, as always. I think that the restriction to factory specific units is more interesting than limiting your use of movement (and other) spells.
Great video as always! I really like the idea of only using Factory units - especially as you got off to a good start with a nearby Gantry and Serpentarium (and knowing there is another factory player around too). I prefer the standard rule of no fly/DD/TP until the opponents use it.
this series is on fire 🔥😎
For me 3 speed is great and 4 speed is a bit too... speedy. :) As per Fly, I would recommend not using it as the game would become a bit too easy and you definitely need a challenge. Same with Angels - don't use them. :)
I think the same. Their use triviales the game imo.
Agreed with both of the above
fly over that mountain to blue and break their base with the doomstack of juggernaughts :D. also yes to angels (and also archers from that castle town now that you have the archery skill might as well make full use of it)
You have 2 supposedly long playthroughs going on. Just use the angels! Underground is so slow to walk around. Atleast until you find a second Factory town.
For me personally slow animations make this somewhat painful to watch :-))
Don't stress about the combat speed, I tend to watch these on 1.5x speed anyway 😅 loving the content though. Very sad to realise this wasn't a completed playthrough when I started watching it though 😢
I think focusing on Factory is a great plan, but maybe treat the found Angels like a treasure you can use (like a neutral camp) but don't supplement them with new ones from your Castle town.
Soon PETA will show up to protest all this armadillo slaughtering
😂😂
Recently found your channel, love the vids. The nostalgia from my childhood playing hot seat is real! Have you ever tried Heroes 5, and if yes - any thoughts to share on it?
Factory pairs really well with angels, use them
great video. animations speed 4 is great, anything slower makes it hard to watch
A big fan of you. Wanted to aks will you be finishing this series and i am hoping you do.
Where is the next part? We arealerady waiting 2 months :D ..hope you are healthy
As for the restrictions, I'm not a fan of using the movement spells. However, considering you are playing a huge random map, I would alow it this time with the only restriction of using Factory units.
Using those spells/artifacts on a designed scenario is not the same, since in most cases, you will be missing the experience of the tailored exploration intended by the author.
PS. I would hold a bit with Town Portal. For me, it's an automatic win once you get it.
hey just wondering, are there ANY mods at all that you can download/get on the steam version of the game?
My vote is to use fly/dd/etc but don't purchase non-factory units except for town defense (I think using non-factory units that you acquire outside of towns is fine personally)
With this size of a map it could be quite tedious focusing on only factory.
Hey! I rewatched your entire maelstrom playlist waiting for this video! You should feel free to use angels and other units but not on your main. Fly and all other op spells i think you should just use whenever you get them.
why? dimension door etc. just makes the game incredibly boring - to play and to watch
Great video as always. Just a heads up, Eanswythe is female (600 years old apparently). Just a little nitpick, because in other series you always make sure to read the Hero's bio if you aren't sure about their gender.
👍
Random map vs Scenario :(
😪😪😪😭😭😭
19:18 has to be the funniest part of using tactics. It makes me laugh every time I see it in action.
"Just comin' through"
Ghost dragons prove to be true gentlemen!
👍
I personally love your restrict-movement-until-enemy-use rule because it stops you from essentially rushing mid- to late-grame doing the same thing again and again, but it cuts down on unnecessary tedium in late game when the AI uses it. I think non-Factory units are fine as additions but not as main armies.
And that's why I've modified the base template I use so that town portals, fly, DD, angels wings and co. just can't spawn at all. No need to ask for restriction until some point if said restriction are already here for everyone.
Tho' for once I would say, if you limit yourself to only one faction's units for the whole playthrough, outside of town defense, I think using fly, DD and TP shouldn't be much of an issue as you're already at high difficulty and need to properly manage a very few number of units.
Note: love your videos and can't wait for what's next. See ya. :)
Hi, I don't like to have those artifacts/spells spawned in my scenarios either. Didn't even know you could change the template. Could you tell me how can I do it? Thanks
@@Raziel_J If you use HotA, go to your installation folder and launch "RMG Template Editor.exe", then go in the template folder and choose the .h3t file you wanna edit with it, then edit it and save it under another name (preferencialy). You're done.
If you don't use HotA, well, I don't think there is a template editor into the basic game.
use fly and get aggressive. animation speed 4 is fine
An aggressive rampage with Fly and a stack of Juggernauts would be a sight to see.
Generally like not using movement spells before others do but this time make an exception for the fly spell. If you need a rationale: fly has a similar use as Airship, one of the new features in the latest release :)
Big fan of no-fly and factory-only, but then I also don't mind some save loading if it becomes really challenging towards the end. I think save reloading is kind of like you are given foresight by the gods and have to fight the same fight until you have reached inner peace, which is cool!
Maybe you could use other units, but only on secondary heroes?
Or if you fancy roleplay, only if you can make up a reason why those units want to fight this fight :D like "angels hate devils, so they agree to fight them".
But flight breaks game basically. If you choose to do so, maybe use flight only between places you already visited?
Focus on Factory units and use the others defensively, and use fly etc when the opponents does
Hopefully they do an update with 3.5 animation speed, as 3 is a bit too slow, while 4 is a bit too fast. Regarding the use of Fly, I would use it. Whatever spells I obtain I use when I'm playing. Sometimes you get lucky and get Fly, Dimension Door, and Town Portal at your mage guild, and other times you never see it, even when you build up several mage guilds at different towns. If you put the work into unlocking it, then you get to use it. On the other hand, I'm not a content creator, and so I don't know how these spells impact the way you want to showcase and play the game in front of an audience. If you don't want to use Fly in your videos then don't use it. I'll watch your videos, regardless. Thanks for creating this content. I watch them while I eat breakfast in the morning and/or do my exercises before the work day begins. I'm looking forward to downloading and installing the new Horn of the Abyss additions here.
I think it's ok to use Fly and other "cheesy" mechanics, I would prefer if you stuck to the Factory faction though
1. Movement spells/artifacts: I like your usual rule to restrict them until opponents start to use them, or maybe until it's just to cut down on the run time. Once victory is a foregone conclusion and you're steamrolling everything, I don't see a reason to prolong their suffering in the name of "purity" or whatever.
2. Non-Factory units: I think it's fine to use other faction's units on occasion as long as the Factory units are the stars of the show. In particular, if there is interesting cross-faction synergy, that's something that absolutely SHOULD be highlighted. For example, if the mechanics/engineers can "resurrect" any other faction's units, which combinations are potentially interesting? Angels are a bit iffy since tanky, high movement units are a great addition to pretty much any army, but A) you're already short on gold, so chaining more Factory units over to Wrathmont is just added tedium, and B) they complement a power stack of squishy ranged units like the Halflings/Grenadiers particularly well. Plus, Griffin Observatories are not exactly rare, so anybody playing as Factory would be crazy not to use them. So I say the Angels are fair game!
You can always do a "Only Factory units challenge" later down the line :D
Very much enjoying this series! Thank you!
I find the self-emposed restrictions unfun, although I understand trying to make it more challenging in doing so.
I'd say keep fights restricted to factory units (except town defenders), but use all spells/artifacts as you get them.
I know you're not going for it, but the fact you haven't (I think?) visited the obelisk near your starting town slightly irks the completist in me 🙂
Channel your inner gundam and fly with your juggernauts. (If it’s not clear, I think you’re ok to fly/wings)
GOD NO! Do not go back on animation speed. You have SO MUCH dead combat time that has 0 challenge and 0 value to see.
Enjoying watching this while putting my toddler to bed. Hope you are okay and will make a return
If quicksand is in front of creatures who only walks can slow them for 2 turns as they get over the trap
Absolutely Glorious
Any chance you’d try the forged in fire campaigns?
I'd use any units you can, trying only to use the new units is too much micro management.
Always love to see you upload. I've played a few games as or against Factory and I have to say it feels quite underpowered. The creators in their ambition to balance the mod properly made the town too weak. Halflings are literally the best performing units, Engineers are somewhat useful with their repair but otherwise they are useless. Armadillos have a role in the first month as meatshields, beyond that they are a waste of gold. I had high hopes for the spiders but their ability seriously disappointed me. Why doesnt the explosion scale with their amount? As things stand, they are like vampires, except with shit durability. Worms are good at least. The watchmen are squishy, 40 hp is simply too low to spend any amount of gold on them. Literally cyclops, except bad. Coatls dont deal any damage, refuse to consider them tier 7, more like tier 6,4. Juggernauts are great. I know it seems like a lot of hate but I want to like the town. The units are ORIGINAL in their design but they lack usefulness. Add to that the fact that youll never have enough money to buy both juggs and coatls you get a weak, gimmicky army which struggles to get off the floor and do anything
Hi! I enjoy your videos and your comm! New player question if you don't mind😊
What mod do you use ? I also have the game but I don't have the quick combat expected losses thing and that order of units turns in combat. Thanks❤
Keep up the good work
Nice episode. Good to see the Juggernauts display. I usually focus on gathering a big amount of Sentinel Automatons as a power stack and a lot of Engineers in two stacks for repair. That takes me pretty far in the middle game. However, in the end I tend to leave the Dregnauts in the castle as defenders and go with Crimson Coulats. Time to show them some love in my next game I guess 😂
I really enjoy the focus on factory units. I wouldn't mind if you use a stack or two of other faction's units, but I am learning a lot about factory tactics from watching how you utilize them. Having factory units continue to be the core of your army would be great!
It would make sense to allow Fly and movement spells but to limit units to Factory! This is for sure something new, unique from other playthroughs
Great entertainment! I don't think you need to give yourself any rules personally, just play the way it's fun and makes sense to you.
You don't even know how happy I am that you are making this series❤❤❤big thumbs up
Would be nice if you used everything that is available to you. No restrictions. 🙂
Really enjoying this playthrough!
waiting for part 4 👍🏻👍🏻
Sorry but this is not hommam3 and even not in all it expanions. Someone came and says that he build best town and beat everithing that has been set by default game. Downgraded diplomacy and all other units they build two new overpowered towns. This is faraway from hommam3.
Hope youre doing fine man, I reallyyy enjoy watching this series you make great content! hopefully nothing's wrong
Love from israel
