Actually Ent's Physical Resistance is 35% and then they get +25% Resist All when they use their Tap Tree of Life Ability (rooted), which lasts 3 turns. Also don't forget that your're playing Impossible so those values increase +25% due to the difficulty level!

Ancient Ents are 40% Physical Resist and 75% Magic. The reason why they have high Magic Resistance is because of the Tree of Life. I figured that they hadn't fallen far from that Tree!

That`s what i meant about implementing tactics from homm3 heroes, instead giving speed to ally, lower enemy speed in first 1-2 turns.

Werewolf hero might only be 40% for round 1 - you might want to scout him and see. I can't remember, I'd have to look him up, but a lot of heroes have the "Combat Readiness" skill which works the same as yours for levels 1, 2, and 3 for them!

Now I think you can see that these heroes aren't slouches any more, but have a system similar to yours.

Mage enemy hero's Destroyer Skill drops one of your resistances up to 50% @ level 3! So be careful when fighting enemy Mage hero's. How can you tell which class is which by the way? Warrior heroes have more Attack than their other abilities, Paladin's Attack, Defense, and Intellect are all roughly the same, and Mage heroes have a lot more Intellect than their other abilities and noticebly more mana.

Yah, the next thing I'm going to work on is switching HOMM3 babies with tactics to work like I did with the enemy heroes, but I'll make them last the whole combat I think.

1) resurrection works on undead with necromancy skill, so it`s OK.

Excellent!

I'm really interested in seeing what's happening here - send me your savegame with how to reproduce and I'll try to fix it!

I never have had trouble with Gizmo by the way...

You know, when I was working on adding Orcelyn, I think I saw too different sets of criteria - one is talking to the Elven King, but the other is at the end of the Torn Digor quest. I think may be one can be used to reset it if you happen to attack the Embassy before getting Habbab Ordy's quest.

So did you marry Orcelyn or did you stick with Rina? Her dialogue's a bit weak right now so I'll have to work on it to make it more interesting!

I switched them to magic damage because it seemed like with their 80% Physical Resistance that they really didn't have much of a physical presence in the world. And since their Soul Drain reanimated their numbers it seems more like a magic attack than a physical one. So that's why I changed it - I think it's better suited that way.

You're now officially in the fun part of the game! Not that the early part isn't fun, but just liike your hero isn't the most powerful at the start of the game, neither are the enemy heroes. But once you start to get more powerful, so do they!

Well, now that I'm back to work this week, I won't have as much time to work on it, but I'll make the Tactics skill changes to the HOMM3 babies over the course of the week.

I'll also try to continue my game - you're ahead of me now! Such is the life of a modder!
