Bros, whenever I enter a fight I get an error saying that some file with a poccnr name is missing. Also the new gay dragon they added for factory makes a weird sound when it flies.
Horn of the Abyss 1.7.0

wait is the new Hota update out already?
Yes.
holy kino
Damn that's sick, I literally re-installed HoMM 3 yesterday.
Modern gamer in me wants to play BG3, but the Slav in me wants to go back.
WHAT?!
>releases it at literally the last day of the year so they can say they kept their word
These cheeky slavs.
>A motherfricking skyship
I actually gasped
How the frick did something get me to gasp
did romero make the music for factory like he said he would?
He did, the team didn't think it really fits as a town theme but still used it for the campaign.
has someone uploaded it somewhere?
>steampunk faction in the world of space travel and blasters
What a pointless faction. I waited for the true Factory, not this secondary shit.
fricking Gankeroomers are too busy having a life to actually talk about this
There has been some successful HoMM 3 threads on the last few weeks you would be better making a more general HoMM thread and hoping it picks up and then ask in there.
Naming the thread horn of the abyss filtered a lot of people
Holy shit it's finally out?
Quick somebody make a factory edit of this pic I posted!
Heroes 3 Meme dump incoming for good measure.
tfw no naga gf
They actually made Factory not clash with the rest of the game that's insane
was mogging master gremlins part of their plan?
Positive luck means it can't go below 0, right?
it can't go below 1, yes
below 1 if positive
on a scale from inferno to Conflux how OP current factory is?
its definitely better than cove
>new faction is the best in the game
This is why I stopped playing hota
Your loss
AAAAAAAAA
cove is below average while factory is above average. still doesnt beat necropolis, conflux or dungeon
>necro
>in hota
Necro sucks shit in the "galthran is banned lol" format
necro main spotted
>playing """competitive""" homm3
le mayo
disgusting necro mains
t1 has the best damage in the game by far but no defence. turbo-charged master gremlins
t2 has high-ish damage cap but the range is awful (2-5). low defence and hp. but has dragonbreathe attack and can heal t4s and t7s
t3 are the worst t3s in the game, think of orc who cant shoot
t4 is bad all around like t3 but explodes on death. some use early on i guess
t5 has good stats, think of pit fiend/master genie tiers of damage but nowhere near as fragile. also has decent passives
t6s are fricked. good damage and a shooter but 45hp lmao
the first of t7s (the dragon) has stats almost as bad as ghost dragon but can turn invincible once a fight
the second t7 (giant robot) is much better and top-tier stat-wise, its also the t7 the t2 can heal
Still not using HotA
I'm afraid if the factory won't be too OP
Literally me
Sell me on HotA Anons. Why is it better than H3 Complete? Can I use H3 HD+ mod with it?
Yes, HD+ is compatible with HotA.
Hota has lots of convenient things without breaking the flow of the core gameplay.
>no navigation speced heroes on land only maps
>ability to refuse witch huts (i don't know if that's in complete)
>a pirate faction
>new map entities like an artifact scrapper
Thanks, that's pretty neat, does it actually comes with any new maps or campaigns build around the new content and are they any good?
1.6.1 had 3 new campaigns, 1.7 promised new ones.
I never cared much for campaigns though.
Thanks, I'll probably check it out in the new year then, hopefully it's not as invasive as WoG, I hated that mod with a passion.
>Maps
Yes
>Campaigns
Yes
>Good
Depends on the taste. Campaign filters me as a casual player
You have to tryhard the HOTA campaigns. They can frick you up.
post more female heroes
Absolute madlads they actually did it
>Dragon Energy Drink.jpg
why the frick did they have to change the font though?
gonna be honest i just had a homm3 binge for the past week and didnt notice any font change. what i did notice was separating resources with an empty space once they get 10k+, a button to replace spacebar in the ui and speciality button (for factory units) in combat
>When life gives you dragons
GOOD Toastmaster AND THE COMPETITIONS ARE INTERESTING
>I'll have to officiate a wedding soon. To properly entertain the guests, I need 3 Mighty Gorgons and 1 Azure Dragon. I am ready to pay you generously for them.
whats happening
You're going to have to wait a little for another patch.
It's released but it's kinda buggy. I did a fresh install on a fresh Windows and I still have problems with missing sounds, missing assets and also this chain lightning shit.
This should be fixed now. I no longer encounter it.
chain lightning is the grail effect for factory
Never understood what was the point of inflating the hero pool with absolute shite
every Hero has their place to shine
I'm sure land mines have some epic game winning strategy I'm not aware of but at least don't give it the worst secondary skill in the game
This guy on the other hand fricks, they're not as good as basilisks but finally a hero that starts with tier 4s
>they're not as good as basilisks
theyre better at the start, automaton explosion deals 75 damage. you have 4 bombs to get rolling
yeah, learning need a boost
I think they will buff learning eventually. Takes them a long time tho.
Am I better off using VCMI or HD mod? Trying VCMI currently but its port of HotA hasn't been updated yet.
The hota update for vcmi will take some time.
So, what is the lore behind those new factions? Do they actually "fit" the HoMM setting? I assume the Cove = Regnan, but what's the deal with Factory?
it's fanfiction made as a compromise for those who want forge and those who thought forge was ill-fitting
You didnt play story, why answering?
I told him the reason why Factory exists, sillybilly 🙂
Eeofol halflings fighting kreegans
I must tell you lads I don't like that city, I'd rather take forge
weren't they killed off by kreegans?
It's the other way around. Might and magic was always sci Fi fantasy with kreegans being interstellar conquering aliens , spaceships angels being cyborgs,etc.
For homm they decided to keep only the high fantasy stuff even if is set on the same universe
>it's real
what the
Is there a way to add intro to the HD mod? It keeps skipping it and I like that intro.
It should be in the HD mod launcher options.
It's not there. I've tried everything and the intro doesn't work. I guess the mod removes the intro completely.
i can't believe its finally here
factory honestly feels really bad to play with, idk if you need 3+ month games to make it good with two tier 7s or what
This. I don't get it. This shit is almost worse than inferno.
I am just happy that we FINALLY have the Dark Elf heroine. She's not Cauri Blackthorne, but I'll take what I can get.
>the Dark Elf heroine
who?
Does this modpack does something about super wizards crossing the map in one turn and suicidemageddons?
Excellent. A new town for Chinks to steal for their mobile game.
Where are the Anubises?
In VCMI
what the frick is wadjet
how are camels good for combat
>a mutt
egyptgays are so fricking stupid
Why are the hobbitses in the desert?
anyone playing?
LETS FRICKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Time to keep failing and fricking up the campaign because these fricks craft ballbusting hard campaigns.
Should be fun.
Should I do a clean install?
What's the best one in this series?
3
3, then 2/5, then 6, then 4 then 1 then nothing.
How do I know the russians are not installing rootkits and keyloggers on my computer?
Guys?
Just update the HD mod?
update the HD mod
I WAITED 10 YEARS FOR FRICKING ROBOT SPIDERS?
And tomboy engineer waifus, don't forget that.
>dont forget the unit that will constantly friendly fire because frick dragonbreath attacks
wont happen any time soon
Is there a HD mod for Heroes Chronicles? Asking for a friend.
You can import these as custom campaigns into regular h3 and then you can play them with HD mod.
In layman's terms, how do you do that?
literally just google it
what the fug, what fricking game has tomboy engineers AND robot spiders?
The game with Aztec dragons of course.
How do halflings with slings fit into a steampunk faction?
Those are gunpowder slings.
They were T1 of similar faction in Heroes 4.
> [+] Hit-n-run ban built into HotA: in two-hero combat, the attacker is forbidden to retreat in the first round of combat after casting a spell
It's like he HotA team hates fun or something
those are old HeroesWorld rules
Should I play the original HOMM 3 or go straight into HotA?
Play the original first. HotA can be ballbustingly hard for a newcomer.
Homm3 with HD mod
Definitely play standard first, HOTA campaigns are expert level difficulty and expect you to know every trick in the book.
Heroes 4 or Heroes 5?
5. 4 is incomplete game made by dying studio.
5 is heroes 3 2
4 tried to be a different thing
Is there a HoMM 3 HD/ HoMM 5.5 equivalent for HoMM 4?
HD mod with DX11 wrapper done by the same guy who did Homm3 HD mod also Equilibrium mod if you want the game to be a bit harder
4. Actually has some fresh ideas instead of an abomination with an extremely ugly super zoomed in 3d map in 5.
5.
Why not both?
Fricking hell lads, the campaign is pretty hard.
So what version? HD apparently doesn't have the expansions
complete, what other you want
complete hd??
just nothing from ubisoft
Just get the HoMM 3 Complete from GOG and then slap the HD+/HotA mod on it. The "official" Heroes 3 HD remaster is literally pointless.
I still like heroes 2 better
do these mods work with the original disc version of the game or only the digital ones?
They do, as long as it's at least Shadow of Death or Complete releases.
Oh boy, the first Heroes 3 thread of the year!
Happy new year btw anons, may your unit population be plentiful!
You too anon
In the new main menu you can see Cove and Factory fighting for who gets to sit in the shitter tier with Inferno
Wait what? Why would cove fight for shit tier placement. They are a pretty good faction from what I have played. Fast early units, good shooters (not the witches), OP as frick heroes like the double clone one, Nyx are insane. And their T7 unit is scary as frick in a final battle type scenario.
so factory sounds like it's not very good, but is it fun?
It's gimmicky alright.
Been going trough the campaign, so far I'm liking the flamethrower units, no idea what to make of armadillos and the automatons yet. Only on map 2 of the campaign so far.
So, what is going to be the next faction?
We need some dark elves in the mix.
Vori elves
>campaign opens on Night of Shooting Stars/Kreegan invasion from bystander's POV
Actually really cool but don't ask me how cowboys and Forge lite will fit into this
HOTA is the greatest mod of all time.
RIP in Pierogi Docent Picolan. Who's going to take over now?
>ukrainian trailer has more views that the english one
Do I have to do the stupid hero chaining meta to beat the campaign?
It's not stupid, it's based. You're stupid
If I wanted to play Settlers 2, I'll play Die Siedler II.
Is it worth 15 kangaroo dollars?
yes, but pirate it. nobody who was ever involved in the game will ever see a cent
Do what
said and get the HD mod
yes
*filters lorelets*
Filthy hobbitses
Sex with Coatls
bump
I can't skip the intro
https://heroes3towns.com/
Look who's added now.
Man, Agar makes such killer concept arts despite the fact that they're drown on a basic notebook using some very cheap crayons. I hope that the devs will muster enough strength to make another town, though it will probably kill the balance of the game even further
