Hey Gem. You interested in a casual game sometime? I have a friend with whom I play a lot, and we chat on Skype while playing (to alleviate between-turns boredom); could be fun to have a 3-player or 2 x 2 game ... [[User:Memetics|Memetics]] 11:03, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
: Oh, maybe! I often play with my boyfriend in evenings! He's a bit of a newbie, though, so I'm still teaching him! ^.^ What is your HOMM version? [[User:Gem|Gem]] 18:17, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
:: We play with Complete, but also with the HD patch, which lets you set it to different versions of Heroes as needed. (Hopefully you're aware of [https://sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/eng/description the HD patch], yes? It's indispensible, with bug fixes and extended features, in addition to the extended resolution [HD and beyond] ... though the changes in the 3.x versions have been a bit wonky so far - the patch author changed some of the keyboard shortcuts from the previous version, e.g. - so we're still playing with the 2.98 version of the patch.)

==Comments==
''"The Bone Dragon is almost treated like a level six unit, mostly because of its statistics... that look like those of a level six unit."''

Not really? Bone dragons have (quite a bit) more damage, health and immunities than the strongest level six, not to mention morale penalty to enemy, which is especially useful in conjunction with [[Earth Magic|expert]] [[Sorrow]], [[Spirit of Oppression]], and eventual morale penalties the enemy army may already be experiencing. [[User:Gem|Gem]] 17:06, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
: I think you're probably right; it requires proper strategy to take advantage of its abilities, though, and it's still the weakest level 7 creature. By contrast, Ghost Dragons are arguably ''not'' the weakest level 7 upgrade ... though they're still pretty far down the list. [[User:Memetics|Memetics]] 01:27, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Stables

2012-12-02T11:18:50Z

Memetics: re-org. / conciseness

[[Category: Adventure map]] [[Category: Buildings]]

The Stables grants the hero a +4 [[Movement]] bonus for the rest of the week. The bonus is added to the hero's movement allowance at the start of each turn, just as [[Logistics]] bonuses are. [[Terrain Penalties]] affect total movement, including any Stables movement bonus.

'''Note:''' No additional bonus is gained from visiting more than one Stables in the same week.

Stables can be found in two places:

* As a [[Castle]] building. Any hero entering the town will gain the movement bonus, as will any garrison hero when the town is viewed. The Stables building is a prerequisite for [[Training Grounds]].

* As an [[Adventure map]] location. Any [[Cavalier]]s in the hero's army are automatically upgraded to [[Champion]]s at no cost.

Artifact Merchants

2012-11-12T14:00:03Z

Memetics: clean-up / clarifications

[[Category: Buildings]]

Available in [[Dungeon]], [[Conflux]] and [[Tower]] towns.

Enables visiting heroes to buy various [[Artifacts]] from a selection of 3 [[Treasure Artifacts]], 3 [[Minor Artifacts]], and 1 [[Major Artifacts|Major Artifact]]. One set of artifacts is available for purchase in common through any Artifact Merchants; once an artifact is purchased, it is gone from all Artifact Merchants. At the start of each month, a new set of artifacts becomes available. Visiting heroes may also sell artifacts here.

Requires: [[Marketplace]]

Cost: 10000 [[Gold]]

==Comments==
The artifact selling screen is buggy: the fifth miscellaneous artifact slot is not shown, and the arrow buttons used to browse through the backpack may not function properly.

Cloak of the Undead King

2012-11-12T13:51:16Z

Memetics: restoring 1 general comment line

[[Category: Artifacts]]
{{comboartifact}}
[[Image:Undead_cloak.png|frame|right]]

In addition to the regular bonuses, the Cloak of the Undead King resurrects 30% of the battlefield dead as [[skeleton]]s. If the hero already has the [[Necromancy]] skill, the percentage is added to that skill, and the hero's proficiency with Necromancy determines what [[Undead]] is raised:
*Basic = Walking Dead
*Advanced = Wights
*Expert = Liches

Requires the following artifacts to create:
*[[Amulet of the Undertaker]]
*[[Dead Man's Boots]]
*[[Vampire's Cowl]]

Base [[Cost]]: 60000 [[gold]]

==Comments==

The Cloak of the Undead King is extremely powerful and useful for [[Necropolis]] players and is relatively easy to make.

Talk:Cloak of the Undead King

2012-11-12T13:50:29Z

Memetics: moved talk from article

I think this artifact is almost overpowered because it is easy to amass swarms of liches on large maps. I have played games where I have gotten over 500 Liches due to luck in finding the artifacts and Expert Necromancy before level 5. At any rate it increases the sheer power of Necropolis even more. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User: BlackHeart | BlackHeart ]] ([[User talk: BlackHeart |talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/ BlackHeart |contribs]]) 11:53, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Elixir of Life

2012-11-12T13:17:06Z

Memetics: update following rev of Template:Comboartifact, + rev's for clarity, accuracy

''See also [[Elixir of Life (Campaign)]].''

{{comboartifact}}
In addition to the regular bonuses, the Elixir of Life provides a 25% [[Health]] bonus to all living creatures in the hero's army. [[Undead]] and [[non-living]] units are not affected. All affected creatures gain a [[Regenerating|regeneration]] ability similar to that of a [[Troll]] or [[Wraith]].

Requires the following artifacts to create:
*[[Ring of Life]]
*[[Ring of Vitality]]
*[[Vial of Lifeblood]].

Base [[Cost]]: 100.000 [[gold]]

==Comments==
The 25% health bonus is calculated using the creature's base health before the other bonuses are added. So for example, [[Master Gremlin]]s would get just +1 for the 25% bonus, giving them 5 hit points. Then the other bonuses are added in: +4 more points, for a total of 9 health.

The regeneration ability only adds the base number of hit points that a [[Troll]] has (40) and does NOT necessarily maximize the hitpoints of the actual creatures affected.

Base [[Cost]]: 15000 [[gold]]

==Comments==
A fairly easy combination artifact to assemble. Avoid selling the individual components or distributing them among your lesser heroes. The Wizard's Well is more useful than the [[Spell Power|spell duration]] combination artifact [[Ring of the Magi]], especially if your hero is able to cast expensive spells repeatedly, such as expert [[Dimension Door]] or [[Town Portal]].

[[Category: Artifacts]]

Dimension Door

2012-11-12T11:46:46Z

Memetics: Corrections (confirmed by testing)

{{spelltable|Air Magic|25|Instant|5}}

Lets your hero jump to an unoccupied land square on the [[Adventure Map]] within 9 squares in any direction, including diagonally. Spell can only be cast if the hero also has the required movement points available.

Target destinations may include locations still hidden in the shroud. If the destination is a water location, the spell fails and the attempt is lost along with the mana and movement points spent. Other invalid destinations, such as those already containing objects, will cause the Dimension Door targeting cursor to change back to the arrow cursor; this can provide the player with limited information about the territory concealed by the shroud.

Dimension Door can be cast if the hero is in a [[Boat]], but the spell will fail, and the attempt will be lost along with the mana and movement points.

{{skills|Effect|1 jump/day for 300 [[Movement]] points.|2 jumps/day; spell point cost is reduced by 5.|3 jumps/day.|4 jumps/day; [[Movement]] point cost is reduced to 200.}}

'''Beware:''' The AI can cast Dimension Door while standing on Cursed Ground!

==Comments==
In almost all tournament games and many multiplayer games, this spell is banned, along with [[Fly]], [[Town Portal]], and several other spells, artifacts, and heroes.

Titan's Thunder

Memetics: update following rev of Template:Comboartifact

[[Category: Artifacts]]
{{comboartifact}}
In addition to the bonuses from the component artifacts, Titan's Thunder adds [[Titan's Lightning Bolt]] to the hero's spell book while equipped. If the hero does not have a [[spell book]], one will be added permanently.

Requires the following artifacts to create:
*[[Thunder Helmet]]
*[[Titan's Gladius]]
*[[Titan's Cuirass]]
*[[Sentinel's Shield]]

Base [[Cost]]: 200000 [[gold]]

Range penalty

2012-11-12T10:32:11Z

Memetics: re-org / clarify

[[Category: Combat]] [[Category: Terms]]
When ranged units attack a target more than 10 hexes away, the attack only does half [[damage]]. This is cumulative with the [[Obstacle Penalty]].

[[Sharpshooter]]s ignore the range penalty, as do all units under the command of a hero with either the [[Golden Bow]] or [[Bow of the Sharpshooter]] equipped.

Memetics: /* Still around? */

===Images===
Hi there,
I started adding some images, hope it is no problem with some low resolution screenshots from the game. Was thinking of getting images for most articles.
Take care, [[User:Kdanv|Kdanv]] 12:55, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

== Still around? ==

Hey Terra! Are you still monitoring this site / watching your talk page? I'm wondering if you were the person who asked about me at [http://wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Memetics my Wikipedia Talk page]... [[User:Memetics|Memetics]] 09:43, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

: Yep, still around. And no, wasn't me that poked your WP page.

: I still have my RSS reader monitoring changes to the wiki, so get noticed when something happens :)

:: Well, that's good to know. :-) (Guess I'll be careful not to do anything crazy. ;-) [[User:Memetics|Memetics]] 14:15, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
:: At some point, I'd like to upload a spreadsheet with a bunch of test data I gathered years ago, if I'm allowed to. It has a ton of information on various RMG treasure values and the resulting treasures produced, and a bunch of other stuff. Is it possible to add such a file somewhere on the wiki, or would that be something that would have to be hosted off-site and linked to? [[User:Memetics|Memetics]] 10:11, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Memetics: Updated after testing.

[[Image:Titan's_Lightning_Bolt.jpg|frame|right]]
{{Spelltable|Air Magic|0|Instant|5}}

This spell is added to the hero's spell book as long as the [[combination artifact]] [[Titan's Thunder]] is equipped. Titan's Lightning Bolt has no [[spell point]] cost and does 600 damage to the target, regardless of the hero's [[Spell Power]] or level of expertise with [[Air Magic]].

Chain lightning

2012-11-12T06:25:12Z

Memetics: revising for clarity, etc.

{{spelltable|Air Magic|24|Instant|4}}

Does lightning damage. Strikes target stack or war machine, then arcs to strike the next-closest target, repeating until the chain reaches its target limit or until no valid targets remain. Damage to each target is half the damage to the previous target. Will only strike a target once. If the spell is [[Magic Resistance|resisted]] after it has already struck at least one target, it will continue arcing to the next target.

{{skills|Effect|Strikes up to four stacks. First stack receives ([[Spell Power]] *40 + 25) damage|Cost reduced by 4|Strikes up to five stacks. First stack receives ([[Spell Power]] *40 + 50) damage|First stack receives ([[Spell Power]] *40+100) damage}}
