Heroes of Might and Magic III: Low Gold Rampart on Month 1 (200%)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лис 2024
- Merry Christmas everyone!
In this playthrough, I try to demonstrate Rampart's potential while having limited amounts of Gold at the start of the match. Even while using just their early game units, Rampart truly is a force to be reckoned with.
(NOTE: Sorry for the late release! The file for my first playthrough actually got corrupted when I finished recording, so I had to rerecord it altogether.)
Happy Holidays, and have a Happy New Year!

**Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
**
*1. What mods do you use for Heroes III? / What version of the game are you using?*
I usually play Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Shadow of Death with the HD mod (downloadable from sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/). Sometimes, I'll also use Horn of the Abyss (also known as HotA), but I'm not using it in this video.
The HD mod is responsible for most of the features that you see in my videos. Note that the Heroes III HD mod is not compatible with Ubisoft's HD Edition on Steam.
*2. How do I get your version of the game?*
Shadow of Death is functionally the same (e.g. there are no gameplay differences) as the Heroes III Complete Edition, which you can get from www.gog.com/game/heroes_of_might_and_magic_3_complete_edition for relatively cheap.
Horn of the Abyss can be obtained from download.h3hota.com/HotA_setup.
*3. How do you see how far units can move in combat?*
This is one feature of the HD mod (see FAQ #1) and can be done by mousing over a unit and holding down the CTRL key.
*4. What are the hotkeys that you use?*
This is one feature of the HD mod (see FAQ #1). The most frequent hotkeys that I use for army management are:
- CTRL+Click to create a 1-stack
- ALT+Click to group up all units of the same type into one big stack
- SHIFT+Click to split a stack into two halves
- CTRL+SHIFT+Click to fill up all remaining empty slots with a 1-stack
A full list of the hotkeys that the HD mod provides can be found at sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/eng/description/extended-ui.
*5. How do you display the extended hero details while setting up a map?*
This is one feature of the HD mod (see FAQ #1) and can be done simply by right-clicking on a hero's portrait while selecting a hero. Note that Single Scenarios do not support this feature.
*6. How do you step on the same square your hero is on? / How do you access Water Wheels, Windmills, Mystical Gardens, Two-Way Monoliths and Subterranean Gates without moving your hero?*
Pressing the Space Bar key will cause your hero to step on the same square that they are currently on, allowing them to move through Two-Way Monoliths and Subterranean Gates at will. The Space Bar key can also be used on Water Wheels, Windmills, Mystical Gardens, and other map objects.
Note that this feature is only available in versions of Heroes III that come later than Restoration of Erathia, meaning that this cannot be done in Ubisoft's HD Edition on Steam.
*7. How can I get my unit animations in combat to be as fast as yours?*
To get accelerated unit animations, download crAnim.txt from heroesportal.net/getfile.php?file=/files/information/16/Cranim.txt and put it into the Data folder of your Heroes III directory.
*8. Why not play a match without rules?*
I plan to do a no holds barred playthrough in the far future, but there's a specific approach I would use for such a match that I don't want to showcase at this time.
nostalgia. each time I hear the intro
You cant heart your own post :)
HI Mekick! The link for your Shadow of Death mod is dead, can you please update so that i can download and play? i miss this game much!
Oh my god this is not an April fools joke! I can't beleive! A Cristamsa miracle has happened, thank you for a present MK :)
You are correct! It's still a few months away from April 1, so it would be much too early to put out an April Fool's video :P
Anyway, you're welcome! Merry Christmas!
"Alright men, I want seven groups! The elves, here. The Centaurs, here, mostly: Jenkins, Carlos, Bob, Robert, and Proud Hoof? You're on your own."
"Sir, those...those aren't our names..?"
"I think you'll find that won't really matter soon."
LOL! Okay, I'll admit it, you gave me a chuckle with that one ;)
Happy Holidays!
Oh man, just what I needed for this Christmas. Thanks MeKick.
1:48:56 The moment I was waiting for! The slowblindness was real and somewhat impressive ;D What a saga.
That was the highlight of the video for me 🤣
Now this is a christmas treat! Merry Christmas mekick!
Likewise! Merry Christmas!
Just what I needed for christmas, thank you mekick!
Thank you for watching! Merry Christmas!
So good to see you back buddy. I absolutely loved your youtube content and I hope it's coming back! Merry Christmas, mekick
Good to be back! At least for now, anyway.
I can't promise more videos in the near future, but I hope you enjoy this playthrough nonetheless. Merry Christmas to you too!
Thank you Mekick! This was the best christmas present i could have asked for :D I hope you make more playthroughs in 2023. I enjoyed this one a lot!
My pleasure! It's good to know that you appreciate my Christmas present :)
Unfortunately, I don't know when my next playthrough will be for this UA-cam channel. Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
after seeing this video now i believe in santa, ufos, multiverse, god, a happy relantionship, lockness monster
LOL! I don't know about you, but I think I can get behind everything you listed except for "a happy relationship" :^)
Thank you! I can’t ever seem to catch the streams, really happy when you upload to YT!
All good! I'm glad that you enjoy my UA-cam content!
Thank you MeKick, it was a very nice surprise/present for the New Years weekend! Wishing you a wonderful year, hope all is well.
Ahh was hoping to see a Christmas release!
At last, here it is! Merry Christmas!
Sad to hear the christmass eve recording got corrupted. Also yay! It's been a while since the last video. Glad you found the motivation to do it, since I remember you said on twitch it was lacking. Happy holidays Meckick! Also that pandoras box at 2:02:40
I just wanted to drop in and let you know how much I appreciate the time and effort you put into creating such amazing Heroes of Might and Magic III content on your channel!
Oh my god this is awesome. Thank you for the 2023 present Mekick
Was wondering about this video. Finally youtube decided to show it to me.
Happy holidays!
That's awesome to hear! Happy Holidays :)
Holy shit, the madman is back! I had to scroll through the video to make sure it wasn't blank lmao.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, bro!
Woah its actually real, a new upload. Thank you!
Hoping for more vids along with more challenges.
Also, Happy Holidays!
Yup! The upload is as real as you and me. But unfortunately, I can't promise that new videos will be coming out anytime in the near future.
Happy Holidays to you too!
Rad to see a new upload. Could really use more.
I can't promise more uploads anytime soon, but I'm happy to hear that you appreciate me uploading this video!
Thank you! I have been missing your more uploads! But lo and behold, the spirit of Christmas gifted us with a present. Thank you! Its appriciated!
Thank you so much for making a new video, I thought I might never see the day again 😭
Merry Christmas and happy holidays MeKick!
Don't get a chance to catch your streams, so it's always a pleasure to catch a new upload. Looking forward to this one. Here's to 2023!
Likewise to you! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I hope you enjoy this episode. Cheers to 2023 :D

Thank you! merry xmas mekick!
It is indeed meant to be a (late) Christmas present! Merry Christmas :)
He lives! Merry Christmas!
That's right, we live! Merry Christmas to you too :)
I did not get any notification and just randomly checked your channel for a new video and could not believe my eyes when I saw this! ^^ Awesome!!
PS: I also noticed that I have been unsubscribed for some reason (definitely not from my side, as I love your videos) so I just resubbed back.
See a MeKick video, stop everything else! 😁
That's the spirit! I wish you a good watch session :)
Love when u upload. Cant wait for the new challenges but also would be interested in the failed attempts of previous challenges in case u filmed those

Likewise to you! Thanks for watching!
Merry Christmas and happy new year MeKick :)
Whole map with Ciele sounds great! I would like to see it
Maybe one day! But for this playthrough, I didn't want her to be the main highlight :P
Quite excited to see a Mekick upload! Sad that I can rarely catch a stream.
Merry Christmas!
Aww, that's too bad :(
Either way, I'm glad you're excited for this year's Christmas special. Merry Christmas to you too!
2:57:55 i totalt agree, very Nice play through, and Nice to see that you are enjoying it. I would love to see you play it to the end in a future video 😊
Omg BEST present on yt. Thank you man. New content =
No problem! I'm glad you're excited for this episode :)
Nice!! About time!

@@TheKnownWorld u2
best christmas present to date
A Cristamsa miracle has happened, thank you for a present
Merry Xmas and welcome back :D
I had completed ur channel so thanks for this ❤
You're welcome! Have fun with the video!
Ahoy mekick and merry Christmas, thank you for this benevolent gift!
Say, have you tried songs of conquest? What's your opinion about it?
Thanks for this masterpiece MeKick 😢
You're welcome! Why the tears? :O
A MeKick YT video? See NOW it's Christmas!
Indeed it is! Merry Christmas ;D
Thank you for a new enjoyable video. Rampart is my least favorite faction, so nice to see some content to get more inspiration when playing with them. I dislike these month 1 videos. Apparently I need closure 😊 Thank you any way. Been watch skeletons only and bad hero challenge during the holidays, so always great with new content. Happy holidays from Zykot1ck
Deeply enjoyed the gameplay. Would love to see a series of you trying to win as optimally as possible with every town, using all spells, creature banks etc. Which town do you think you could win the fastest with? Adela with diplomacy? Galthran? Luna? Crag Hack? I'm so curious :D
OMG i hold onto this channel hoping the sinister six will be finished some day. maybe 1 step closer.
I missed you ❤
Whoa? Is it christmas or what? A non-troll video from Mekick?
I suppose it is Christmas! For what it's worth, I only release my troll videos on April Fool's Day ;)
@@TheKnownWorld there is just not enough of them ;) Thanks for the video!
Welcome back!
Nice to see another playthrough
Nice to do another playthrough!
Holeh moleh! A new vid from MK! You’re going to make it storm! Lol
lol, is that so? A storm seems like a fair price to release this gift for you silly folks :')
Might "Neutral units only" challenge be on the table as an option sometime? You could create your random map, then use the editor to plop down dwellings that would be reasonable as starting units (Maybe 2 peasant huts and a halfling hut) to simulate your town, maybe more garrisons that you can unlock by reasonably priced paygates so that you're not totally screwed if the map turns out to be void of neutral dwellings? You could even have an additional paygate with every dwelling doubled that you are allowed to open after purchasing a castle in your town, and then rely on yourself to not cheat by picking up dwellings you don't already have access to?
Might take a little more thought to perfect, but I think it could be done in some way.
would love to see more of your videos on youtube!
Hi MeKick. I haven't been able to catch your streams live but I love watching the replays on twitch. Glad to see an english speaking streamer playing something else than duel. Will you ever revisit SoD? I really enjoyed those streams.
Yes! We fucking love these videos! Thank you!
Great video as usual.
Was kind of curious how the orange player looked like in the end, as before that it listed him having the best army while you had angels already, though.
I hoped for a video from you on Christmas since October
Hope no more! My fingers are crossed for you that this video lives up to the hype :P
@@TheKnownWorld i'm keeping it for a special night. Happy holidays Mekick!
@@dariusus9870 Glad to hear it! Likewise to you, Happy Holidays!
STAT CALM, STAY CALM - BUT ITS HAPPENING ❤❤❤
Wow so excited to see new video!
I'm happy to hear that! Enjoy :)
My man! What a GIFT
Merry Christmas :D
MeKick you are the best.
jepp. its a christmas miracle! Nice :)
Whatever happened to the rest of the sinister six @theknownworld? Really enjoyed the speed3units only, wish you would give it another try!
2:39:59 R.I.P Ciel. We will remember you.
RIP :'(
Thanks MeKick
Yay a new playthrough!
Have fun!
Thanks a lot, good sir. ❤
Do you not have HD+ on or something like that?
My version displays way more details, like accurate damage formulas on spells (what you were talking about it not including the 50% bonus) or how many units can an attack kill in battle, etc.
hey mekick im extremely curious - will you be playing the heroes 3 board game once it comes out?
I wish I knew MeKick in real life was friends with him. I'm a HOMM3 noob and I would learn so much from him😭
Welcome back, what happened to the sinister six?
2:00:53 - There are worse skills than Sorcery, even if your Hero is not Specialized in it. Still more useful than EE, Luck, Learning etc
OMG U CAME BACK TO YT
Just for now, yes :)
Happy Holidays!
About time..
Mekick posts a vid. t'is really the season! Old ones got a bit repetitive tbh :v
T'is the season to spread holiday cheer! Happy Holidays!
You think the old episodes got repetitive because they felt too similar or because you watched them too many times? :P
@@TheKnownWorld Dude, watched too many times, ofc D: I even did the unspeakable and watched some Twitch streams (don't tell the other youtube sheep) Happy Holidays!
wow been a while!!!
Yes, it has! Merry Christmas!
man I love you
Your aliiiive!
We liiiive!
Cool game, dude.
Even if the game didn't crash on nwczion the conflux would have a grail and you wouldn't be able to see the MG5 spell since it would be all spells 😅
LOL, oh yeah! Good catch :'D
no horn of the abyss ?
Should level coronius up so he can learn DD from your main and share it with other heroes
Wait, this is low gold ??? I thought it meant starting with the artifact bonus and always choosing the XP option from treasure chests. This was a clearly "pretty good amounts of gold". Sigh...
FINALLY NEW VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WAIT 8kk !
Enjoy!
