Hi again,

Excellent! Did you happen to fight anyone else (i.e. Sonya, the level 27 Necromancer)? What about the Evil Book? Sonya's not in every game, so maybe you didn't get her in yours. Possibly the same for that Necromancer.

Yes,Sonya and the necromancer were both present. They were good opponents ,but not really so hard. Maybe because of the chargers,I did ressurected my entire army and replenished everything and just continued on to the next fight with full rage and mana. The Phoenix is a bit overpowered maybe, with it I ressurect much and kill many enemy units without problems, but in the fights with karador ,baal,haas,xeona and possibly 2-3 more ,if it wasn't so powerful I didn't stand a chance. So I can't actually say what should be changed in that spell. Maybe reducing the chargers is enough. I think you underestimate some abilities in the game,because you didn't tried them much. My first 2 games were similar, I was always about trying to do damage with spirits and magics,but the other abilities are even more powerful. Lina for instance is not about damage. The Evil Book was a good fight also.

Ha! We must think alike because (I'm not sure which post it is) I reference all the dragons you mention earlier in this thread! That would be really neat to implement! I need an artist on here to take the 2-D HOMM3 unit pics for the dragons you mentioned and either alter an existing 3-D picture or create new ones for those dragons! Wouldn't that be awesome?!

Yes it would

, sorry that I can't help. I can't even draw a dog.

For the rest of the stuff you mention it just sounds like you're so experienced that you'd need a new game or new content there.

No ,not so much. Just some more hero developing, so that I can fight everything till the end and feel rewarded about that. Did you played Heroes6 - once you get to lvl30 ,you stop developing ,and then there are more missions and you are just stuck to the same level, it was so boring.
Maybe one or two new skills in the skill tree will be enough. Maybe a "Dragon master" skill,which allows you to control more of the H3 dragons or something else. If you are interested in the idea , I can think more about some skills.

Someone on here mentioned joining the AP/CW maps with TL. That would be neat to have a way to go back and forth between the two worlds...

Not sure that this will improve the game. That means one ultra long game,that needs much more hero developing and units to keep it interesting.
I like them separated. They look a like, but at the same time offer much diversity.

I think all sleep spells are dispelled on attack, even the Beholder's. Note, though, that the attack is always critical when attacking a sleeping / unconscious unit.
|
The beholder's sleep is not dispelled no matter the number of attacks vs the creature. But anyway this is not such a big problem,so it doesn't require more time put in it.

You know, I really tried to make this spell much more potent. Did you know that it can be used when adjacent to enemies? You also get a heck of a lot of the arrows and they do Astral damage, which no one has resistance to.
|
I noticed the adjacent perk, but let me give you the example of my game, I had 150 hunters(the only shooter in my army) and I cast Dragon arrows and the hunters do the AMAZING 150 dmg to black dragons

, then I noticed that without it ,the hunters do 250 dmg, because the spell doesn't benefit from attack bonuses. It did good damage to lower level creatures,but there are other spells that affect those creatures anyway. And the Dragons ,Archdemons ,Cyclopes and other 5th lvl creatures are hardly affected by spells, Dragon Arrows was one of the few spells that made difference, but now it is useless. Maybe some defense removal will be nice. It sounds even better if it is spell lvl related, like 25,50,75 % defense ignoring respectivly
or 50,75,100% but that may be too much.

For right now I've been playing WotN (it seems a lot better with respect to bugs than my first playthrough of the 4 Viking islands) so that I can get a feel for what needs to be modded there as I let the AP/CW development stew for a little while.
|
The biggest flaw in WotN is that after killing the spider you get instant access to 6 areas. 3 areas in Darion ,2 pirate lands and the elven lands. That pretty much allows you to have everything in your army even before completing half of the game. And the wings that you get so early,allow you to see everything and get everything. There were so many people in the forums ,complaining about the wings especially. There were many proposals to alter them in some way or even to completely remove them. Also the part in AP/CW where you have to usually fight a stronger army to get to a new island is really good and rewarding. It makes you think ,how can I kill them,what will I gain on the next island to help me complete the quests in my current position,what will I lose. It is really good. Nothing of that is present in WotN, except in the first 4 islands. Also the fact that there are so many undead armies to fight gets really boring. I know they are the most important part of the big story,but still their number should be seriously reduced in some areas. Even on my first game in WotN , I was sick fighting the same undead guys over and over again. Enough for now

. When you decide to mod WotN ,we can discuss it more if you like.
