Trivia

Verified statements

• All Dragons and Hydras become Bone Dragons in the Skeleton Transformer.
• Arrow towers causes more damage to heroes with Armorer, although it should be the other way round. This also applies to Air Shield.
• Artifacts affect also Cloned creatures.
• Badge of Courage prevents all mind spells. The spellbook and wand symbol do appear, but Berserk have no effect.
• Battles in the subterranean level are always considered to take place on subterranean terrain. However, movement works normally.
• Berserk can be cast on Undead creatures if Orb of Vulnerability is present. However, they are still immune to Blind.
• Cavaliers are upgraded to Champions for free at Stables located on the Adventure Map.
• Cloned creatures also copy the ability to cast spells. For example, Ogre Magi can cast Bloodlust or Archangel can cast Resurrection.
• Land Mines do no affect creatures with magic immunity (e.g. Magic Elementals) (Heroes v1.4 or Complete only)
• Master Genies can and will cast Cure on friendlies.
• Morale bonus for visiting Temple on day 7 is +2. Also Idol of Fortune gives +1 to both Morale and Luck.
• Pikemen and Halberdiers are immune to Cavaliers and Champions jousting bonus (+5% damage per hex they cross).
• Stone and Obsidian Gargoyles cannot be resurrected because they are non-living creatures. However, they can get Morale unlike Golems or Elementals.
• Tower's landmines can be Dispeled with expert Water Magic.
• Tree of Knowledge gives experience equal to the difference between hero's next level and current level.
• Windmill never produces wood.

Unverfied claims

• Archangels resurrect less creatures with health artifacts on, but Pit Lords raise more creatures with additional health points with health artifacts?
• Serpent/Dragon Flies can dispel Anti-Magic , because Dispel is only one spell which can remove it. - The Serpent/Dragon Flies get this ability in Heroes v1.4 or Complete.
• Having a Rogue in your army acts as basic Visions?
• You can mark a path max. 602 tiles long on ground and 594 tiles long on water?
• Almost all non-upgraded Wandering creatures look to the right side, while upgraded creatures look to the left side?
• In the early versions (i.e. v1.0), Witches had a chance to learn Basic Necromancy when they levelled?
• Legion artifacts only gives one bonus per hero, but if you split two of the same artifacts into two heroes (visiting + garrison) you can have bonuses for both?
• Gold Dragons are susceptible to Dispel cast by heroes, the Resurrection part of Sacrifice (but not the Sacrification), Ghost Dragon's Aging, War Unicorn's Blinding and Medusa Queen's Stone Gaze?
• Any units that strike twice, whether ranged or melee, can get Lucky twice in a row?
• That Luck stacks with the Dread Knight's Death Blow?
• You get more Skeletons than Skeleton Warriors from Necromancy?
• Dispel and Cure cannot remove Disrupting Ray and the Bind curse from Dendroid Guards/Soldiers?
• Orb of Vulnerability breaks creature immunities to magic (but not artifact-granted immunities)?
• The odds of Wandering Monsters joining you depends on what troops you have with you (and whether or not you have Diplomacy).
• The Disguise spell is completely useless against Hard/Expert/Impossible AI?
• The chance that units freeze due to negative Morale is actually twice higher than the chance to get an extra move with the equivalent level of positive Morale?
• Elementals that are summoned in combat aren't affected by Planeswalkers' bonuses?
• Even though Black Dragons are supposed to be immune to all spells they still take damage from an Efreet Sultan's Fire Shield?
• Black Dragons can only be targeted by 1 level 1-4 spell...that's Dispel?
• Orb of Vulnerability does not negate Damage Resistance, whereas it negates the Magic Resistance artifacts and secondary skill?
