Holy based

Rampart is peak comfy.

DUNGEON CHADS REPRESENT

yeah but muh balance/dps/whatever

DON'T CARE, BEST CASTLE

probably castle

ALSO, FOR YOU

small map: stronghold
medium map: tower
large map: dungeon

Fortress for life

Castle, the upgraded angels are just too cool.

What is your least favorite town?
Correct answers only please.

dungeon because 7 year old me found black dragons to be very cool and adult me agrees
hero is deemer

I don't like tower, shit's way too expensive.

My personal favourite is stronghold because I love the conan vibe.

Your favorite faction?

Rampart, always.

Dungeon for the aesthetic and minotaurs

For me its fortress for S+ tier visuals and theme. Gameplay wise its pretty trash, weak early game, abyssmal late game, mid game is fine, which allows me to rush my unsuspecting friends when playing hotseat, unfortunately they are a bunch of pussies that usualy enforce the rule of turtling for hours until we gather an army to just fight and end the map.

I don't play shitty boomer games

My favorite as well. Its just so cool. I also really like Necropolis/Castle . Homm5 was the last game I enjoyed from the series. I Hear good things about the new olden era entry but I dont like the visual style, too cartoonish/smooth looking for me

necropolis, they can be pretty fucking busted even when used by my retarded ass, but i just like skeleton armies hence why i play them. both in 3 and 5. Inferno is a close second because i love dark messiah and have sexy succubi

Where the fuck my Sandro bros at?

I will not pick favorites, I love them all because H3 is a near perfect game.

Castle is a beginner faction, right?

Ehh. It's a very straightforward faction indeed. You will much rarer have a moment of "oh shit, I should've done X instead!" with them. Troop roster is thus:

a soldier dude

a soldier dude but with a crossbow

a better armoured soldier dude

No wait, they swapped griffins and swordsmen at some point in development so let's try that again.

a soldier dude

a soldier dude but with a crossbow

a not too low tier flier beast

a tougher soldier dude

a tougher shooting dude

the toughest soldier dude with an ability that can increase damage somewhat

the toughest creature that flies and has a useful ability (just don't look into what it actually is in the setting and pretend it's generic fantasy)

Even their mage guild tops at the respectable 4th level with good spell selection. Normally you can't use the faction for magic-heavy heroes because of that but as a supplement for the troops is usually works good to great.

The only weakness of castle is poor hero selection, yeah there's valeska but ehhhh knights still kinda suck. My strategy is to start with Caitlin and then just pray to tavern rng to give me someone good.

Homm5 was the last game I enjoyed from the series.

The series ended on IV, which was a reboot itself. V is by completely different people.

stronghold
crag hack gaming

Fortress, 200%. The more you play it, the more fun it gets. Tazar is great. Wyvies off the bat is fun, and can make you take some tough fights straight away. I usually will rush to a 2nd town off the bat and go from there.

All knights aside from Sylvia, Lord Haart and Christian are perfectly fine because +1 speed is good and they give attack and defence bonuses too. Of the clerics only Sanya is near-useless but always comes with great starting troops.

Tower for me

try homm3

just keep skipping turns to get more units while doing nothing in later turns

idk, its kinda dull

Stop playing on easy.

Is this a good baby's first rts unless you want to count pikmin.

rts

a good baby's first

Retards using "baby's" confirmed for being sub-70 IQ.

rts

based

Waiting for more units is nearly always the wrong move.

Necropolis because if your game has necromancy I'll use it whenever possible

Never heard of or played this game before can I pick one for funsies and join in the discussion :3

Most based anons, HoMM 2 dragons were the best depiction of dragons I've seen in vidya. Love those little niggas like you would'nt believe, whole game really.

rampart. though i jerked it to the pegasus girls too many times to count

Play harder maps/CPU, you’ll be forced to prioritize things better

I've been playing this game for the first time recently, it's pretty fun, are any of the other HoMMs worth playing?

So this is a lawful / chaotic and good / evil matrix right? It looks like a lawful / evil matrix

No.

HOMM2 is still worth playing, use fheroes2 to play it on modern OS with many QOL improvements and pretty much no downsides.

1 and especially 2 are well remembered but 3 massively expands upon pretty much everything that’s good about them. Get the HotA mod and download custom maps on maps4heroes or celestialhavens, fans have gotten really good at making them with 20+ years of experience.

II definitely because it lacks some of the bad changes III made.

use fheroes2 to play it on modern OS with many QOL improvements and pretty much no downsides.

Doubt. Fan remakes tend to change at least one thing they shouldn't have.

Get the HotA mod

Hoatse fears the resistance secondary skill. Nuff said.

Play WoG, embrace the broken jank. Really though, it's actually fun and feels a lot more fresh to play going from vanilla to WoG vs vanilla to HotA

Fan remakes

Fheroes2 to HOMM2 is what HD Mod is for HOMM3. Unless you're a hardcore purist or a retard it's a must have.

doubles down on shilling while immediately going for some of the lowest fallacies

Yep, called it.

shilling

it's a fucking fanmod, you gay retard

shilling free open source software

just fucking kill yourself, even if you're trolling

brings his shitcord butt buddies too

Wew, fheroes2 is pure AIDS seems like with fans like that.

Castle.

Skellington town, followed by treehugger greenpeace town.
