This video finally made sense to me as to why people mention terrain penalties in HoMM3 videos - intuitively having a hard native terrain feels like it should be an advantage, no? You move normally, any invaders will suffer. But if farming dwellings of other alignments is big on JC, hard terrain being bad makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, plus invading someone else's biome is not that common on JC, as both players strive to reach the middle and that's where the final battle will usually occur.
The most fun town, is which one you enjoy the most!
Ofc Tower is your favourite you are a magician afterall !
Hey Alex, another idea for a tier list: most powerful combo town+hero. For example: conflux-luna stronghold+crag hack etc :) might be dumb but just an idea.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the idea!
If tower had decent heroes and was a little bit cheaper they would be on top of the chain, but it is still the town i have most fun with
Relatable, being my favorite faction i played it a lot, so i tried alternatives to everyday solmyr
Problem is, almost every single Tower hero has at least one dead skill (scholar/mysticism) and the only alternative for default template i found was Daremyth with no dead skills and a decent specialty (fortune)
The best alternative i think is to seek a better hero in the tavern for a main
Btw that blue flag only on Castle is quite triggering :D
I'm blue da ba dee da ba dai
Dungeon is the most fun to play IMO probably the most dynamic town..... can do different strats you don’t have to just build your town up.... could just use portal of summoning or mana vortex
Indeed, I enjoy all of those things
My Favs:
S: Inferno, Conflux
A: Castle, Fortress
B: Necropolis, Cove
C: Tower, Dungeon, Rampart
D: Stronghold
I think :P
Thanks for sharing :)
As you asked for ideas, perhaps a hero class tier list? As in Elementalist, Knight, etc., could potentially be interesting
Sweet! Thanks for the idea!
@@alex_the_magician9483 You are welcome! Guess I should sub heh. Good content, occasionally a bit too sweary for me but is worth it
@@KonfluxGames The fuck you talking about?
I would love Rampart more if it had Sharpshooters as a normal unit, dwarves and dendroids are so slow, its especially jarring when you consider the rest of their roster is pretty fast!
Heh guess the sharpshooters would be a bit too OP
@@alex_the_magician9483 could be balanced with a slow growth rate, building cost, unit price etc.
As much as i dislike the super average & boring Pegasi, their 12 speed kinda makes them necessary for Rampart. Pegasi as 3rd tier with lower stats(not speed though), & Sharpshooters as 4th tier. Either with as high cost as vampire lords, or keep it at 3rd tier but as the 3rd upgrade for elves like sea dogs of cove.
My cousin introduced this game to me and my brother. Cousin ALWAYS played Solmyr and Tower. He loved it and played only and only that.
My brother started with Castle, but very soon moved on to Inferno.
I was too young at first to understand what's strong and what's not, so cousin told me to play Rampart, but rn I love Dungeon the most (and also Cove and Conflux)
cool :)
Hey, I'm a subscriber now about 3 months. Love the videos. Iv played homm3 almost 20 years butI'm a new player to hota.
Any tips on completing the first campaign level in the horn of the abyss campaign.
The one where you start off deserted on a little island on the bottom corner.
It all goes well until I free the prisoner to go into the underground, where in greeted with a hero with 100+ efreet sultans, 750 demons, 1500 magogs etc.
There are a lot of seers in the overworld, do they give good rewards?
Hi, thanks for being a loyal sub!
Unfortunately I haven't played the HOTA campaign so I can't help you with that.
@@alex_the_magician9483
How can we find somone who gives tips for story because Dracon , Xeron and that blue guy in tower in Sandro's arc are very hard and seems impossible to complete for me .
Problem I could not find one in youtube .
For me the best towns are between Tower and Dungeon.
T: 3 shooters, 2 flyers units
D: 2 shooters, 3 flyers units
T: library +5 spells, +1 knowledge
D: mana vor x2 mana, +1K XP
Tower heroes are more air magic speciality and likely to get +knowledge when level up. I seem to get more air spells in mage guild too.
Dungeon are more earth spells and get more spell power.
I like dungeon more because the terain get more mine in random map I guess.
Solid choices, thanks for sharing!
Fun for me is range units, good offensive, good spells, good from early to late game... I think that is dungeon first and tower second.
Thanks for sharing!
Played Castle first (age 5?) but as I tried all I eventually started spamming Tower and Dungeon. Solmyr was so much fun to play.
I intentionally avoid them, so when I finally play them it feels better and nostalgic.
Yeah for me it was Dungeon due to the armageddons blade campaign that I played when I was like 12, so when I started playing online I played a lot of dungeon.
@@alex_the_magician9483 Then I guess it will be fun.
Started campaign 20 years ago, but with my English vocabulary (save, load, exit, kill, win, lose...) it was too confusing. Then forgot it and only recently decided to finish all.
Talking about fun to play here?
Day 1 Castle with Aleska 38-42 Marksmen. All the money in one basket how much u can push and achieve with her.
Same goes for Necro Galtran in AB, that hero only returns back to base when forced to surrender across the map months later xD
Every gimmick that feels slightly OP is great fun, Luna.
I love the Tower, and the Inferno. And I actually win in PvP (I don't play JC much, I just like other templates a lot better) using Inferno
S: Dungeon and Rampart
A: Necro
B: Stronghold
C: Castle, Tower and Conflux
D: Fortress, Cove and Inferno
(Not based on JC though)
Thanks for sharing!
Other than moving Tower to low B tier, I'd agree entirely with your list.
Cove is much more fun...
as i like playing "impossible" single player games, i have the strong impression that tower is the most difficult to build up. can't skip any unit to get to giants, and many of them cost resources of all kinds, so that i got stuck on golems for a while on poor maps. rampart isn't especially expensive, as you always get an ore pit and wood mill.
as a kid, i always chose tower and my brother inferno :)
Regarding resources I suppose if it was a resource poor map then it would be problematic to build giants, but then again any other t7 would be problematic as well as all require resources.
Here I was not only referring to the cost, which for giants is still quite cheap at only 5k gold, but to the build path itself, which is relatively easy for giants as well, when comparing to something like red or green dragons as those require mg lvl2 in addition to all the creature dwellings to build, which makes it really hard to build week 1, while giants are very doable.
@@alex_the_magician9483 ah i learned that the building path has been shortened... it had been way harder that it is now, had to build library and mage tower if i remember correctly. i could not skip any unit building for sure
@@deinauge7894 I think pavillion was skippable (or the genie thing) but what really got me stuck is the mage tower requiring wall of knowledge.
I think it was the genie you could skip but since you couldn't skip mage tower and mage tower required so many buildings it really ended up being a dream to get giants rather than not (in impossible / poor).
That top 3 is really fun to play. Favorites for me aswell.
Haha, nice, glad you like them as well!
Cool, I have nearly the same taste in towns. Except that personally, playing Conflux makes me feel a bit dirty, too cheesy. But otherwise, agree completely.
It ain't easy bein cheesy
Fortress is my favorite town ! But it does gets pretty routinely you do hives and utopia and your beast master turn into this invincible might and magic hero that just shit on everything. What I do to make it more fun is I cheat code check the map (apparently not available in PvP) to see if I get a cove / tower side town then I can get Wystan to use sea witches and shooters or master genie and shooters , another might hero like tazar to use the flyers and foot soldiers so I have two main heros that fights in different styles
Yeah it can be fun using other town strats, on jc usually you don't have time for that though
I personally think Fortress is the best feeling in terms of creatures feeling unique and scary. Though now I'm thinking of Dungeon too.
But Dungeon was my favorite towns in HoMM1 and 2 so I guess the unique feel of Fortress is the main draw here.
Dungeon is my favorite because they feel unique in they are given the entire underground as their biome, but I feel like if you wanted to make a really neat town you could mesh Fortress and Dungeon together.
I guess Hydra used to be Dungeon.
Wish they had more HoMM content coming out but haven't been able to get used to the step away from the older art style.
Nice content!
Thanks!
I do agree with you, I like very much the Tower
There's something fun about it, but I guess as the magician I may be a little biased XD
How about a town theme music tier list/town visuals tier list? 😉
thx for the suggestion
Hey Alex, another idea, tier list for towns in PvP except you start with random hero. How does that change things?
Also a tier list for towns in PvP if no restarts are allowed.
No restarts would be the same. Random hero may be interesting though, one town that will definitely do ok with a random hero start is tower, because every tower hero except for piquedram starts with about the same number of gremlins, and your gremlin stack is what you rely on in the early game. Thanks for the ideas though!
@@alex_the_magician9483 I remember you saying that with Necropolis you are paying for consistency, so I thought without restarts that they might be even stronger.
Also I wonder how Dungeon would go without Shakti or Fortress without Drackan or Rampart without Ivor etc. Maybe Inferno aren't so bad because all their heroes suck?
@@ottomann4846 Yeah its possible that necro will be even stronger. Inferno with random would probably suck even more because at least with ignatus/calh you have an early game stack that allows you to do something. Dungeon without shakti or fort without drakon would still be ok, not as good as they are now ofc, but playable. Ramp without Ivor isn't that bad, many people (myself included) start with mephala anyway.
I love tower with Santa Gremlins, Diamond Golems, Enchanters and Lord of Titans.
Wolfraiders are so cool!
Squishy though
I actually had cataracts earlieri n life so playing Tower was really difficult since I didn't like the look of snow (light hurt the eyes).
But definitely one of my favorites probably out of sentiment for Homm2 as I loved mages and titans in that game to bits.
I feel like genies don't fit the tower though, something about them feels like they would fit a lot better in a desert town. Nomads and mummies being neutral does hurt since they never added a desert town but could have easily done so.
I feel like conflux wasn't balanced properly but really did like the idea of the town. Feels like they just threw units in. Phoenix being the fastest tier 7s is really good but outside of that I feel like the concept of the town was a little too heavy in the elemental aspect. (And the love of fire elements is a little weird.) Energy, Magma, and phoenixes all being flame based for an elemental focused town is a little weird. Elementals being similarly designs (outside of Ice elementals) takes away from it too.
Dungeon is my favorite design-wise, probably the most balanced town if you removed portal of summoning.
Fortress is the coolest one and I wish they had went even harder into the monster feel of the town. Gnolls and Lizardmen aren't as swampy (looking) as they could be but the overall idea is so awesome.
I wish there wasn't a move away from these art style as the later games aren't as picture book esque and feel more like attempts at making modern game quality look, losing the unique designs and memorable scenery / creature designs.
While the Stronghold town may be your least favorite to play, my opinion is that has the best of all the soundtracks
The soundtrack is good I agree, although my favorite is fortress.
Your reasons for stronghold sounded like it should have been ranked last
not as boring as castle tho
I got really much fun with Necropolis, Cove, Fortress and Stronghold.
My fun tier list:
S: dungeon, inferno
A: necro
B: rampart, fortress, stronghold
C: Castle, tower,
D: cove, conflux
Cool!
I was ready to get mad for you placing Castle at the very bottom, then I took another look at the video title and relaxed. Yes, Castle can be seen as boring, after all besides Angels they ARE humans with swords and bows and staves and on horses and so on! ;-P
Rampart is not good for fast games, like JC. Rampart was made for long(er) games. It IS the most expensive town to build, both in time and in resources. It "pays" back quite slowly. They may have two hoard buildings, BOTH are for the slowest units out there! (well, slowest for their tier at least!). What they DO have for them is long term potential. Each Rampart you own acts as your bank through the Treasury. Each Rampart you own grants you 1-2 Gold Dragons per week, when you finally build Gold Dragons. It may embrace almost all of the "good" Tolkien Biome (Elves, Dwarves, Dragons (!)) and then some but in general it is not good for fast games - unless you limit yourself to up to lvl 4 units, THEN it is usable but limited.
Haha, exactly!
I agree with you, Necro also turns me off! Lol
Thanks for sharing :)
Cove: A-tier. With room to place it in the S-tier, once you'll get over your crush for Luna. :) Solid video.
#coveislove
I love Necro, in any game I love playable skeletons
I think Necropolis is my least favorite to play. I know Necromancy can be used to spam skeletons, and that's great, but I think the slow, ponderous nature of many of its early units really puts me off of it. They don't get any ranged units until Tier 5, and my least favorite unit in the game, the Walking Dead/Zombies, are a necessary purchase in terms of their dwelling being prerequisites to getting the town's better units.
I feel like there is a "fun to play FOR ME" missing in the title
I mean, every tier list I've made is influenced by my opinion, so do I need to add that to every video?
cool story bro
i ain't yo bro brah
I only had eight races on Heroes 3...
Conflux and Cove were added in expansions.
I love HOMM3 necropolis for its depth, and homm7 for its tier VII unit
never played h7
@@alex_the_magician9483 in h7 you can choose between 2 dwellings for tier 7 creatures, for the undead the bone/ghostdrake and the reaper is can be picked. The reaper is a horseman similar to the nasghuls from lord of the rings, but with giant scithes and body armor, and 1 shotting + morale decreasing passive. They look awesome
Overlords better than beastmasters?
They're both good, but I probably favor overlords a little over beastmasters.
I've played necro most of the time for it's fun. The music and town is just fun to stick around in, vampires feel busted and bone drakes are scary looking. Maybe I'm a cynical bastard
To each his own I guess, XD.
What means JC?
jebus cross, its the most popular map template for online play
I always prefer human factions in fantasy games. Yeah im that boring lol... i guess it just feels more relatable
For me stronghold is top tier. The dmg output on wolf raiders is satisfying to use, especially with how much attack skill you get on barbarians. You get to run down any ranged block with tactics. Also a bunch of free artifacts to be picked up. It's most strategic faction when it comes to taking fights. Only downside being that you have to play around Morales if you don't want to lose your only powerstack in one hit. But but but getting morale on your wolf raiders and hitting a single stack 4 times in a row is like nothing else
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
in the first 2 mins and im like nahh this isnt the video for me..
What does the S mean?
Also you mentioned playing a game on JC, what does that mean?
@@kimballhansen2629 Its a map template called 'Jebus Cross', or 'JC', people play it because it´s a mirror-match, the terrain looks the same for both players, mine and dwelling locations are similar, so it makes for a much fairer game, which is highly apreciated among competitive or high level players
@@apigamafio cool thanks!
S stands for Super or Suberb. For an overview of JC, check out this video: ruclips.net/video/G3PpTGeh0H0/видео.html
@@alex_the_magician9483 thanks Alex!
Never really liked conflux. I played the game back when the elementals were neutral units and suddenly getting them in a faction I found disappointing. Even phoenix's, which were in HOMM 2 are kind of disappointing as they not new. Only new unit is the physic elementals and i found them kind of boring. For castle, they are easy and comfortable to use, very well balanced and that for me makes them fun to play.
me: Tower > Castle > Rampart > Conflux > Inferno > Necro > Dungeon > Cove > Stronghold > Fortress
Wtf angels are robots?
Wtf why people hate on Fortresses for me S tier best feeling playing it
well mid tier is pretty fair id say, but i do like it more now than i did when i made this video
Agree with the list except Conflux. That's the most boring by far. Lame ass elementals.
to each his own i guess, i find them interesting
@@alex_the_magician9483 I might take it back a little. I do like 2 of their heroes a lot(Ciele & Luna). But still bottom 3 with Stronghold & Necro. Stronghold has orcs, & goblins so 2 of the most boring units in the game. And not much exotic stuff going on. Necro starts too fucking slow(army speed), & is kinda boring for the most part also.
@@Vaginaattori Goblins are boring? You do not know da vey.
Why are you even bringing up 2 lol
It really sounds like you only play jc and you need to branch out thats why youre bored dude 😂 jc is not the end all be all
idk why but for some reason i HATE tower
