==Specific== ===Community Requests=== # Write tips on [[:category:campaign scenarios|campaign scenario]] pages ([[Special:Contributions/212.112.111.20|212.112.111.20]]) #* Sometimes there are tips on the main campaign pages under User Commentary. (e.g. [[Dragon's Blood]]) #* I've noticed there are a bunch of strategy/tips on https://mightandmagic.fandom.com/wiki/Tunnels_of_Ice. Should/Can we cite/copy that info here or leave a link to them? #** The <i>CC BY-SA</i> seems like a very open license. I would just add attribution using the appropriate link (to the edit summary) # A page (perhaps [[Maps/extra]]) with links to resources with extra maps and overall other external resources (such as h3 assist, etc) could be useful, especially for beginners. Is that allowed with the wiki, though? Can we link f.e. Xenofex's h3assist or maps4heroes and write how they're popular among players? - [[User:Csaros|Csaros]] #* Yes. Anything related to Heroes 3 should be fine here. We already have a list for [[tools]]. Individual pages for each tool would also be fine. β[[user_talk:imahero|imahero]] 19:16, 17 January 2024 (UTC) #* In progress - See [[Guides]] # Add banned spells/artifacts/heroes/secondary skills (except banned for default) to campaign/single scenario pages. # Suggestions for wiki coverage: #* Concept art, pre-release screenshots, and other such promotional material. #** Here are some websites/galleries we can use to add material from: [[File:Hero Cosmos small.gif|link=user:phasma|β Phasma]] 17:59, 25 April 2024 (UTC) #*** https://tcrf.net/Prerelease:Heroes_of_Might_and_Magic_III:_The_Restoration_of_Erathia #*** https://h3.heroes.net.pl/galeria/modele-3d #*** https://www.h3.acidcave.net/galeria_i_filmy_oryginalne_hd.html #*** George Almond's portfolio: [https://www.artstation.com/universalexport/albums/838900 Heroes sketchbook] & [https://www.artstation.com/universalexport/albums/841166 Hero portraits] #*** Phelan Sykes' portfolio is dead, some content may be salvageable through the Internet Archive: [https://web.archive.org/web/20050507155014/http://phelansykes.com/Heroes3.htm Heroes 3] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20050507155046/http://phelansykes.com/Heroes3x.htm Heroes 3 expansions] #* Developer interviews and other articles with important information about the game and its universe. #* An article about the board game. Especially since it has effectively canonized Horn of the Abyss! #**The first two because a lot of this material is now lost or hard to find, and this will only get worse as time passes. Some other wikis for other franchises have been pretty good at safekeeping such documents (I'm thinking for example of the UESP for Elder Scrolls games). --[[User:Turnam|Turnam]] ([[User talk:Turnam|talk]]) 16:51, 25 April 2024 (UTC) === Research/Explain game concepts (HIGH priority) === # [[Breath Attack]] could use a diagram of how it works (specifically when attacking straight up or down) #* I found this, but I have no idea the accuracy or completeness. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 03:43, 8 December 2023 (UTC) #** [[File:Breath Attack.gif|200px]] #** This may be affected by [[Mechanic]]s and [[Engineer]]s as these are the first 1-tile creatures with a breath attack. #*** ANECDOTE: I did notice a...bug? nuance?...with attacker's Engineers attacking in the down-left direction vs. a 2-tile enemy not hitting the expected second tile. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 16:11, 4 January 2024 (UTC) #**** Actually, this is related to the pic just above. In the pic, top row, second from the left, I expected there to be a 2nd red arrow going in the down-left direction. The diagram does not have one, which matched the in-game behavior I saw. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 15:32, 5 January 2024 (UTC) #**** There is a bug (perhaps intended) that if a Mechanic attacks a two hex creature (usually I found it when attacking from the hex right above or right below the 2-hex monster) with the sword-arrow pointing to the direction from which she came to attack, the fire attack follows the direction of her movement and not the direction of the sword-arrow. - [[User:Csaros|Csaros]] #**** This behavior matches the picture above, which was made a while ago...implying that this bug exists for dragons as well. Testing needed. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 18:13, 25 March 2024 (UTC) # I think it would be worth adding a page or two about AI behaviour in detail, such as how it affects kiting, etc. -- [[User:Csaros|Csaros]] ([[User talk:Csaros|talk]]) # Does petrification / stone gaze affect damage taken from a [[moat]]? - [[User:Csaros|Csaros]] ([[User talk:Csaros|talk]]) 13:52, 25 February 2024 (UTC) ===Content: Page Creation/Updating=== ====Tools==== # Create a [[Campaign Editor]] page. #* Include the no-campaign map watercolor paintings (e.g. [[:File:Cmap hota 4.png]]). ====Missing Info==== # Single scenarios: Add all the timed/object events like seen on the campaign scenarios.
