| I find it very very useful how you can see the chance of a hero to learn x secondary skill such as wisdom. However, what if we did it vice versa for the skill itself? For example, if you go to wisdom page, you could see the most likely heroes to learn it and the least likely. Does anyone have a problem with me doing this for all secondary skill pages?

| there is a problem with [[Ruins]], a new HotA object. it's a creature bank which contains 5 different creatures. existing creature banks only have up to 4 different creatures. turns out the [[Template:Creature_bank_row]] does not work for more more than 4 creatures and the result is that the fifth creature is pushed to the column "content". this makes it impossible to add a creature bank template to this page. i believe this is a limitation of [[Template:Table row]] which only allows 9 elements inside a row. i also believe this limitation is inherited from the [[Template:Table]]. can anyone more experiences with these templates look at this? --[[User:Foerno|Foerno]] ([[User talk:Foerno|talk]]) 03:07, 26 July 2018 (CEST)

| HotA changed the numbers for starting armies for many towns, e.g. heroes starting with troglodytes now have 20-30 per stack, instead of 30-40. i haven't figured out a good way to include that in the wiki page for a certain hero, such as shakti. any ideas? --[[User:Foerno|Foerno]] ([[User talk:Foerno|talk]]) 22:59, 20 May 2018 (CEST)

| |
| | |
| ::: We should probably list all three starting troops even if they don't change from SoD to HotA. Otherwise it may look like in HotA they don't have those starting troops at all.
| |
| ::: Also, before we do all of the factions, let's discuss other possible options:
| |
| ::: {{-}}{{-}}1. Add a new section below "Starting troops:" called "Starting troops {{withhota}}:".
| |
| ::: {{-}}{{-}}2. Change the format in some way: e.g. (20-30 {{withhota}}).
| |
| ::: {{-}}{{-}}3. Add the changes, (including any other HotA changes for that hero), to a <nowiki>==Horn of the Abyss==</nowiki> section on the actual page instead of the hero template.

| ::: I'm leaning towards a new section within the hero template or a section on the actual page. That little box is just looking a little cramped.

| :::: U know, I like the idea of new templates for HotA, but not in this case. It will be enough to add a new column with 'nmbH-1,nmbH-2,nmbH-3' after two SoD columns and align it properly. As I see it. How it looks now - nobody can call it exquisite piece of web-design, but having all info in one eyesight is important.--[[User:ShushMaster|ShushMaster]] ([[User talk:ShushMaster|talk]]) 03:12, 22 May 2018 (CEST)
| |
| | |
| ::::: in my opinion, adding a new section to every single hero for every faction (whose starting army was changed by hota) is too much. a little change like "Troglodyte 30–40 ({{withhota}} 20-30)" looks much better to me.
| |
| ::::: the problem with adding the hota numbers even if they don't change is that in this case, for consistency, they would have to be added to factions which didn't have any changes. --[[User:Foerno|Foerno]] ([[User talk:Foerno|talk]]) 01:53, 23 May 2018 (CEST)

| |
| | |
| : I'm fine with it in this instance. If we don't put them here they can be hard to find for HotA users. Also it would require maintaining separate templates and pages for a single hero. And with the <nowiki>{{inhota}}</nowiki> label at the top of their individual pages it should become pretty clear to the unHotAified as soon as they click one of them. ―[[user:imahero|imahero]] 16:57, 19 May 2018 (CEST)
| |
| | |
| :: The problem is it can have a negative influence before any clicking. You want to check something in this particular tab - you see a hero which shouldnt be here - the whole wiki is under question. You just dont know anymore if these wiki people are able to discern SoD and HotA at all. Even a personal template for one hero is not a big cost to avoid this. The best solution, as I can see it, is to allow in the main template to paste {{withhota}} brand after a hero name. But my kunfu is still weak for this.--[[User:ShushMaster|ShushMaster]] ([[User talk:ShushMaster|talk]]) 00:12, 20 May 2018 (CEST)

| For some reason my editing of the Counter spells gets reversed all the time. Bloodlust and Weakness are NOT counters even though they don't work like Haste and Slow or Bless and Curse, they don't cancel each other out either. Why?, because Bloodlust is only for melee units and Weakness is for all units. Therefore they are not counters.
| |
| I would see Weakness and Stone Skin more as counters, but I don't even know if I would consider them counters either. ―62.198.44.139
| |
| | |
| :You have an excellent point there. And you could have mentioned that in either in the comment section of your edit, or perhaps on a [[Talk:Counter|talk page]]. I would also like to point out, that if you read the page carefully (and also comments from history), you can see that there is a mention that they are not counter spells but spells with opposite effect. And why have you not added Stone Skin and Weakness as a opposite spell pair? –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] ([[User talk:Kapteeni Ruoska|talk]]) 07:41, 21 April 2017 (CEST)

| Love the wiki! I learned lots in a game I thought I already knew everything about!

| |
| The game might decrease in terms of graphics and videos over time (about cartoon quality pictures, a little bit better than the Simpsons TV show color sets), the sound is CD quality, the game resolution is not in a way that one would see each pixel like in the DOS era of games. The towns might be a little bit unbalanced, it is not quite chess. There are almost no bugs. The game has isometric views in 2D and is not 3D like the recent games of the series (now made by another studio than 3D0). The successor has heroes on the battlefield and not in a generals tent and a few minor modifications, heroes 1 was nice in terms of nice musical scores. The display part of the game is still way better than the Might and Magic series which was largely (up to, not including IX) sporting Doom era graphics where one could see the pixels. Sadly the game studio that ported the game to Linux (Loki games) died, but there seems to be an Android port in the works now.

| [[User:ShacklesofWar|ShacklesofWar]]:My guess: that´s a hellhound. Anyway, I´m not sure the 3D-thing will destroy HoMM, but bad gameplay will. If they can just use the good parts from the earlier games, (gameplay and variety from HoMM 2 and 3, and those things that did work in HoMM 4 (not my favourite)), and then add something new, (that works in HoMM context), then HoMM 5 could be fantastic!

| [[User:Angelspit|Angelspit]] Game companies usually allow fan sites to reprint their artwork and their screenshots. You only need to give them credit somewhere. Terra might want to confirm this.

| [[User:mo-Slimy|mo-Slimy]] There are almost no pictures. I would upload them but I have no copyrights. Probably the one who uploaded those few pictures here has also the copyrights. Am I wrong? :)

| [[User:ShacklesofWar|ShacklesofWar]]: Seems that the upgrading frenzy has slowed down to a trickle. We still need info about the campaigns, (could be huge on info), and playing tips. I personally would like an introduction to multiplaying over network/Internet, (common rules, banned items, spells etc.). (Only played Hotseat myself).
| |
| Tactics on multiplaying, campaigning, certain maps, (in a campaign), how to maximize point results on maps and campaigns etc. etc. Please add more!

| [[User:John DiFool|John DiFool]]: In what version do the Naga Banks give you Gems? They have always given me sulfur, from the initial unpatched ROE to the final version of SOD. Or did WOG finally fix this themselves?

| |
| [[User:ShacklesofWar|ShacklesofWar]]: Aha! Now I understand. Thanks!

| |
| Sorry I was not clear. Experience is not lost at a Pandora's Box.
| |
| | |
| What I tried to say was that the article identifies with brackets what can be taken away.
| |
| *Spell Points (gain or lose)
| |
| *Luck (+3 to -3)
| |
| *Morale (+3 to -3)
| |
| *Resources (gain or lose)
| |

| |
| [[User:ShacklesofWar|ShacklesofWar]]:OK, but if it is specified, what then happens? Do the mapmaker specify that as well?
| |
| ----
| |
| For the Pandora's Box the hero can only lose where it is specifically stated in brackets.
| |
| ----
| |
| [[User:ShacklesofWar|ShacklesofWar]]: I checked the [[Pandora's Box]] article, which claims that you can lose experience opening one of these. I think it would be a good idea to explain what then happens under the [[Experience]] article. Do you lose Secondary skills? Primary skills? Or does it just make it harder to get to next level (you now need 8000 exp to next level instead of 3000?) (Never lost exp with one)

| [[User:John DiFool|John DiFool]]: Guess I wasn't as clear about the town costs as I should have been (I couldn't come up with a concise way of expressing what my intentions were). The idea was "basic" just tells you how much gold & resources you need to get maximum creature production going, without upgrade costs, and without any other "unnecessary" buildings (hence things like Marketplaces and City Halls are NOT included). This is important when deciding on what resources and mines you absolutely need, and which ones are just a bonus. Upgrades of course are strictly for upgrades + prerequisites (like 3rd level Mage Guild to get Black Dragons). Costs for EVERYTHING would be in the third column. So if we decide to stick with this plan the "basic" Conflux costs will need a bit of reworking. By the way the path to the Capitol will cost (if we assume no Fort or even Tavern is prebuilt):
| |
| | |
| 40 Wood 25 Ore 26500 Gold
| |
| | |
| 15 Wood 5 Ore 21000 Gold (Fort & Tavern prebuilt)
| |
| | |
| It is important to not double-count buildings (since I already included the Citadel & Castle in the basic costs they are not included here). We could add this in I guess if we wanted to...

| [[User:Terra|Terra]]: I've been very busy lately, and will probably be for several weeks yet. Work, plus a game project me and some friends work on
| |
| Because of that I've added mo-slimy and Gaidal Cain as sysops, as they seem to be pretty active and interested, to hopefully take up some of the slack. I will at least take a daily look at the wiki, and make sure things are running ok.

| The NOTOC with the two underlines on either side removes a Table of Contents.
| |

| |
| mo-Slimy> Can someone tell me what does " NOTOC " at the end of the article mean? Thanx.
| |
| ----
| |
| [[User:John DiFool|John DiFool]]: Town Costs are now complete, except for Conflux (I'll let someone else do that one). Please let me know here if any of the figures are incorrect.

| |
| [[User:ShacklesofWar|ShacklesofWar]]:I reversed the chronological order on this page. You now enter new comment at the top of the page. (Above this one...) I also added a new section called "Campaigns" on the Main Page, here we need to put in some work.

| [[User:J R|J R]]: I'm not fond of capitalizing letters. >_> I'm just wondering what time-zone does this site uses. I noticed my most recent contributions span two days but it's only 1930 here.

| Remark: untested interesting statement about dispelling black dragons: guess it works only with either player carrying the orb, otherwise there would be nothing to dispel. And in this case them dragons can be targeted by any spells
| |

| |
| [[User:John DiFool|John DiFool]]: The figures for total town costs as given in the Prima Strategy Guide are incorrect (e.g. they figured in a 5th level Mage Guild for the Castle). I'm currently fixing the figures for the 3 "good" towns...
| |

| |
| mo-Slimy> to Vadskye> yes, and I need to add dwellings and upgrades to Stronghold troops yet.
| |
| ----
| |
| [[User:Terra|Terra]] : Made a table for it. I have taken a few pictures, but don't have the time to cut and paste them. I'm putting them up at http://terrasque.mine.nu/~terra/newpic/ in case any of you have time.
| |
| ----
| |
| [[User:John DiFool|John DiFool]]: I added info about costs for the Tower town, but I don't know now to format it correctly-if someone wants to make a table out of it, go right ahead. :-)
| |
| ----
| |
| [[User:Gaidal Cain|Gaidal Cain]] Rather, all adjectives and nouns in every name should begin with a major letter. That would probably be all words except "of" and "the":p
| |

| |
| [[User:Vadskye|Vadskye]]: geez, did you just add 120 pages in two days???

| [[User:Vadskye|Vadskye]]: Why are you not registered? It is the shortest registration time I've found on a site in a very very long time :P

| |
| mo-Slimy ("212.55.247.variable" in numbers)> that's me. Please upload pictures to units. I cannot do it, probably I'm not registered... This site is great :) Keep adding!
| |
| ----
| |
| [[User:Vadskye|Vadskye]]: Probably me and whoever 212.55.247.176 is. Geez they added a lot of stuff! =)
| |

| |
| [[User:Terra|Terra]]: Woah. Someone went berserk in my wiki. I can barely keep track of the changes! Keep it up! :-)
| |

| |
| Kenaniah: ooh, coool... Me likey! ^_^
| |
| ----
| |
| Anonymous Joe: looks like this site has potential. i may make some changes someday myself.
| |
| ----
| |
| [[User:Vadskye|Vadskye]]: Yay I added a new section all by myself :P Have fun with this!
