    I am a 56 year old PC gamer who cut his teeth on Red Alert and HOMM 3. True story; my home was broken into just 3 months after I purchased my (then) $3200 Pentium 120 with a 3dFX card and 8Gb of RAM and 17" display. Took 6 weeks for the insurance to clear, and when it did HOMM 3 was the first game I re-purchased to go with my new PC. The very fondest of memories. Just stopping by to toot the horn of a new game in the genre, "Songs of Conquest"...because the more games like HOMM3 that succeed, the better games we will get!

    To be honest, I really respect you. I’m playing the game for 15 years now (very casually and in episodes) and even on normal difficulty, this game sometimes breaks my back and makes me crawl into to corner of my room, crying. This level of skill is terrifying.

    I just love the silly little backstory that you're creating along the way, with how the "evil" creatures that you'd hired have now committed an insurrection and captured Loynis to be their scout. It's quite a lot of fun to project your own thoughts and ideas about how the plot of these campaigns would play out, which I guess is the sort of thing that you can't get with properly voice-acted and properly presented campaigns like in the later games (though do keep in mind I have not played any of the other games in the series yet).

    once you get past the beginning Inferno's a really good town - it's the beginning that is completely cursed for them, as the abysmally low number they get the starting units, which makes absolutely no sense. but especially when you can link multiple towns with castle gate they truly show their insane power. soo satisfying to be able to have a single defender hero between multiple towns who controls the army of all towns.

      I'm not sure what you mean? It's not possible to demolish towns. I expect it would involve a lot more micro-management to defend conquered towns so not that fun imo, but in this series I try to focus on Inferno units. Also, I guess technically my Vampires Only series would count :)

    Accepting auto battle vs marksmen is simply cheating. There is no way the losses would only be 12 imps. On the other hand, rolling the marksmen as the guards is extremely unfortunate and you would have won easily vs most other tier 2 units. I really don't like the auto-battle but i can accept it as a RNG equalizer, especially since you put extra challenges for yourself in other aspects. Great job with the playthrough.

      I am not good at this game, but as far as I know it has been proven in practice that it doesn't matter much whether the AI is allied or not. I understand the logic behind the theory of them becoming stronger when not allied, but I saw some youtubers test it, and the theory seemed shaky in practice.

  • @СофияУланова-с6г
    @СофияУланова-с6г 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Always have wondered: considering day7, is it better to build another dwelling or go for creature growth (citadel/castle) ? Is there an even breakpoint where a certain tier dwelling outweights the citadel/castle ? Is it situational depending on the creature utility ? I`m guessing you want to build for eg Angels instead of castle, but what about lower in tier creatures ?

    • @qwertzy321
      @qwertzy321 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I would say that if your current powerstack benefits from more growth go citadel, if you are making another unit that will be crucial then go for that. Example - if you cannot build lake for efreti and you are clearing map with gogs, i would go for citadel. If i can build lake and i skip citadel i go for lake so i can get efreet. Hope that helps.

    You could have hit and run the archers by blocking the drawbridge and then shooting with gogs and ballista and dancing efreet back and forth. Might have taken 2-4 turns of fiddling though.
