If any of you don't have it installed on pc and want to try it on mobile, let me know and I'll pack the data, maps and mp3 folders into an archive and share it.
I'm unsure if mods like WoG or HotA work nor if it works on iOS.
EDIT: Here are the needed files: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q2DLuBP3uAFlKz3JLczI9kUclg77K2tR
Extract with 7zip if winrar gives "unrecognized or corrupted file" or something similar.

Dungeon is my jam.Dungeon is pretty cool, especially if you can abuse summoning portal.

Submachine and I were planning to play a while back, but I didn't figure out how to get the online multiplayer to work.I think we tried it on GameRanger, but we had different versions of the game.
I will look into this too when I'll have some breathing time. ^^"

Try HOMM3, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. No wonder it's a classic.

Might be worth spending a few dollars, you get a ton of content for such a low price.

(Meanwhile I really wanted to find a specific map set, just to find out they were Heroes 2 maps... really brutal and story-rich maps made by Corribus.)

I think that's the only campaign I never obtained. Do you play custom maps? I enjoyed the Pride maps (Angelic, Devilish and Titanic Pride).I played a few, not those you mentioned though. My favourite one is All for One, just because it's the map I played as a kid. I've also played a few Island maps, since the random map generator is terrible at making them.

The map I mentioned is user-made. They are pretty much challenging, sometimes even sadistic. :D You can find a lot at Celestial Heavens (https://www.celestialheavens.com/homam-iii).

Few = 1-4
Several = 5-9
Pack = 10-19
Lots = 20-49
Horde = 50-99
Throng = 100-249
Swarm = 250-499
Zounds = 500-999
Legion = 1000-4000 (4000 is MAX)

What's your favourite faction?
Btw, you can find pretty much anything regarding general mechanic explanations here: http://heroes.thelazy.net/wiki/

Can't really help with that. It's very situational and you get to learn it with experience. You also need less and less troops the better you learn to play.
Post by: iancudorinmarian on July 07, 2019, 07:14:25 pm
Simple version:
if atk > def, damage = stack_size * rand(min_dmg, max_dmg) * (1 + 0.05 * (atk - def))
if def < atk, damage = stack_size * rand(min_dmg, max_dmg) / (1 + 0.05 * (def - atk))
stack_size is the number of creatures in the attacking creature's stack
rand(x, y) is a random integer >= x and <=y
I am mostly interested in troop sizes required to take down another troop. For example, can I calculate how many Gargoyles I need to take down 76 Elite Griffins?Total griffin hp = 25 * 76 = 1900
atk (gargoyle) = 6
def (griffin) = 9
def > atk, so we use the second formula (to have 100% chance to kill all griffins in one hit, we're using the minimum damage for gargoyle, which is 2)
stack_size * 2 / (1 + 0.05 * (9 - 6)) = stack_size * 2 / 1.15 ~= stack_size * 1.74
So we need stack_size * 1.74 = 1900, which means stack_size = 1900/1.74 ~= 1092.
So you need 1092 gargoyles to one-shot all griffins 100% of the time. I told you you need a thousand gargoyles :P
