I have seen a copy of the game where a computer player who got the Graal to their conflux could use [[Titan's Lightning Bolt]] without the equipment set (and did so liberally).

:Hmm, interesting! I have not came across such behavior, which does not mean that it does not exist. However, I tested your theory with game version 4.0., and did not manage to duplicate your result. Perhaps the circumstances were not right, or the version has something to do with it. –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] 08:30, 28 March 2014 (CET)

::Well, is localization capable of affecting some game scripts/stats in ''Heroes III''? (I know it's the case for some games like Sid Meier's ''Civilization II'') because it was a French install. I have no Idea about the actual version number, though. --Medinoc [[Special:Contributions/90.44.1.173|90.44.1.173]] 00:02, 2 April 2014 (CEST)

In [[Horn of the Abyss]], Advanced and Expert Slow's effect is reduced: the enemy's speed is lowered to 50% of normal +1. For example, the [[Zombie]]'s base speed is 4. Without Horn of the Abyss, Advanced would halve the speed to 2 (4*0.5). With Horn of The Abyss, Advanced Slow would reduce the speed to 3 (4*0.5+1).


:::I guess anything is possible. There has been a claim, that in some version you could learn [[Fear]] from [[Pyramid]]s; another test I did not manage to duplicate. And of course, the computer plays by different rules than humans, so trying to replicate the results is quita challenging. –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] 06:14, 2 April 2014 (CEST)
