Options to speed up combat?

[Munch10]

Hi all,

Just got the demo and loved it. Brings back memories of HOMM 2 (before the whole 'your hero fights 2 thing').

One thing that did bother me a bit is that after a while I didn't care as much about some of the battles, but I can't find a way to speed things up. Auto combat helps so I can step away, but is there a way/will there be a way in the full game to increase the speed of the automation in the battles so they don't take so long?

Thanks,

Munch

yeah i also have the same complain, and there should also be some instant battle resolve feature so that we do not need to fight very easy fights

Options --> Combat animation speed --> High

Quoted for truth.

Looks like I'm not the only one who couldn't see that option at first.

I did that and the battles still take a long time. Maybe it will be different in retail version?

Just thought it's worth its own thread to point out to everyone.

There is an option to speed up combat animation speed, just that it's a dropdown hidden among very technical graphics options, so it's really easy to overlook.

Ah - thank you! I missed it to.

That does help, but I agree that it could still use either an instant resolve or maybe a way to just turn off the combat animations. May not be possible depending on design but it would definitely help. There are lots of small battles.

Thanks again for the help!

Let me clarify this a bit.

This is not readily apparent in the demo, but as you progress in the game you might want to get any fight you can get in order to level up for harder battles, or on the contrary, spare easier fights to generate rage or "clone" troops (with a higher level spell). So if you can do without fighting an enemy, you needn't.
