just discovered this channel. Great stuff! Love the way your commentating. Sounds like Bob Ross narrating when he´s drawing a picture "they attack the goblins which isn´t ideal, didn´t realize they could reach them from there but nevermind, that´s fine." Happy little accidents XD
I get your logic, but will say that starting with Gretchin or Tyraxor is pretty much universally viewed as the best start for Stronghold in high level play. The Goblins and Wolf Riders pack more of a punch than the Orcs will. Plus, you can hope to snag a better hero from the Tavern and use the starting creatures. Thanks for the uploads.
Alright! Another Heroes 3 Playthrough I cannot wait! :D Also during the fight 37:35 you were wondering why you were getting such bad morale. It is because you are THREE different factions in that army (Rampart, Stronghold and Dungeon). Best thing I think you do is ditch the harpies because now you have two ranged units that will more than make up for them.
Really late to the comment section, but do Neutral town creatures affect morale if there are no conflicting creatures? Because the Rampart is a Good aligned town and the Dungeon is Evil. Do the Stronghold creatures affect this equation or they don't?
@@Penumbra2009 That's actually not true, alignment has no impact on morale. The only gameplay impacts alignment have is what you can sacrifice on an Altar of Sacrifice (Good can sac artifacts, Evil can sac creatures, Neutral can sac both), the effects of a few terrain overlays, and the effect of Angelic Alliance. The confusion might be coming from Necropolis, since having an undead creature in your army inflicts a separate -1 morale.
Oof that basilisk fight was brutal, you got almost perfectly unlucky. At least stronghold can easily pump out some decent units early on to cover your losses
Kind of baffled by the fact that 3DO removed wasteland terrain from _Heroes III._ Granted, it wasn't in _Heroes I,_ either, but still. Either way, nice to see that the _Horn of the Abyss_ people brought it back!
I still remember my disappointment when I saw the Steel Golems first time.. I love playing Tower, and the first thing I thought was: "Great.. Yet another Golem type that there's zero logical reason that a Capital City can't manage to produce, but multiple secluded factories in the middle of absolutely nowhere has mastered making"
With almost all hand-made maps, i really think you are cheesing your game by choosing any other color than red. I believe that red color was meant to be color of human player and any other color was suppose to be AI. With that said, yes, other colors very often have more beneficial start than red player.
Just because of the amount of effort the HotA guys are making to update this game I'm looking at their patches as official homm 3 updates 😅

Love your play-throughs! Keep it up dude!

Also, morale can be low if You have 2 armies that are in conflict. Most obvious are Castle and inferno, I am not sure what other opposites are.
@@Penumbra2009 a little late but tower and dungeon?
@@pvv890 Yeah! Correct :)

Fair play Noro. Churning out the playthroughs. Appreciate the content and keep up the good work :)
Just recently discovered this channel with the HotA update video for new terrain, anyways subbed 🤩

Nice to see some HoMM3 content in 2020.
This is still alot better than the spiffing brits "homm3 is broken" video KEKW

Probably reasoned that having both wasteland and rough terrain would be redundant, since they're kinda the same thing

Is Jabarkas ready to take on lots of Mommy’s? 😂 😂
Damn sure he is haha My Man
"I guess he should be." was norovos judgement :D
Oh boy! Another map :D
28:26 Well actually mummies can't get morale. They are undead.

That is an orc horn?
For Stronghold, isn't a crystal cavern actually bad because they both need a lot of crystal and the resource silo doesn't even give you crystal?
Ummm. We already had a wasteland area. The stronghold resided there.
Nah their terrain type is 'rough'. Weird, right?
this game needs online multiplayer mode not more towns
Can be fixed via hamachi etc as it has tcp/ip.
It has lobby with 2000-3000 players daily, wtf are you talking about.
@@Crazy-Drokon I love to see people talk shit about things they don't know lol, I guess that's the Internet summed up for ya!
Don't cheat by showing the enemy units amount, that's bad form lol
