The vcmi version of AI is too stupid. It looks like a novice. Resources are not picked up. Most of the heroes turn around aimlessly. Can the AI be modified like the original version?
nah, nulkiller ai (and hota's one as well) are too good. it' a problem in fact - a lot of cases when ai runs battles better than player. so it's mostly auto battles now and balance between strategy and tactics suffers.
@ just rechecked. javeliners look like dwarves from rampart and amazons look a little like erathian commanders. but others look pretty original. forge and pavilion look cool, but what recolors did you find in ruins for example?
Could somebody tell me how to install this mode? What are the steps: 1, 2, 3, etc, and how to turn on/off these cities? Is it possible to enable Cove and Factory in addition to these cities?
Hi, follow these instructions (it's for version 1.2, but the process is the same): ruclips.net/video/p5Y6Z9f7DQ4/видео.html If you can handle the installation, we can continue with other things. You simply enable/disable new towns via the VCMI Launcher.
Abyss is ok but where are the tritons? I thought this town is where they come from in M&M8. Grove is just a WOW night elf town. Would make better sence if replaced with dark elves of Jadame. Forge is Forge but could use a little bit of modding with units and buildings. ( Making forge as close to original as possible myself) You could also use one of 2 original soundtracks. Cathedral is a dark version of Castle. Could be allies with Kreegans or fanatical destroyers of their kind. Everything fits. Highlands is meh. Frost theme is for Vori elves. Dwarves live in forts. This should be town inside isolated fort with no outside light. Courtyard music is amazing. Looks like some far away or isolated location town. Units are ok except for Dodo. Pavilion is a town from Dragonsands. Why Anubis is not a guardian of VARN? Seems kind of weak. Those guardians were almost endgame monsters. Music is ok except for moaning intro :D
Too complicated. It is really far from original unit system and graphics. But as a fanmade playable version it can be perhaps fun. IMO it is better to do 1 town with good graphics and playable campaign and well working balance than make 10 towns which have candy looking crazy-named units. Most of the units from that towns which you presented looks rather like a Pokemons. The Pirate town Cove from HOTA is good example of well working and good looking town (all graphics are fine from that town maybe except sorceress, sea witches, nymphs, ayssids and oceanids - IMO they need rework). From all towns which you presented the forge seems to be best projected. 2 towns which I like the most from this which you presented are: 1st place: the Forge, 2nd place: the Anubians Town. Rest need rework. The most upseting for me is more than 1 upgrade per unit or alternative units of same level - it is far from original unit system.
Nice....we see some progress in some towns, but we have the same issues: 1). Abyss - town looks AMAZING, concept of this town is great i always wanted that type of town.....but units, they look from wrong game, besides how the hell these units can walk on land??(except crab) they would suffer badly. I think the same town should be half on surface(like aquarium filled only half in water) Town require a main race(or two). These should be Tritons, and Merfolks(mermaids), plus maybe some humans. Most units should be able to walk/crawl on land. 2). Grove - WoW town, i don't like it. Units looks bad, except L1 and L2. Better version of this is Amethyst town 3). Forge - almost is great!! But units(again) are the weakest part of town. I think creators took wrong direction with design. Creatures look too futuristic(cybernetic) even for Lore of M&M. They should be more raw mechanic, steampunk vibes(we have Factory already). Other "forge" project have a bit better concept of units, both should be merge into one town. With line-up: Grunts, Pyromaniacs, flying suckers(creatures from M&M6), techno-zombies, Stingers(old design, with helmet)....and there should be place for new type of creature(Demolisher) plus maybe cyborg-hounds. IM still very against Flying Minotaurs, and Naga-tanks ....very! 4). Cathedral - Chimera is main problem, her level and look...These creatures should be at least 5-7 level!! And more correct mythical design with Head, tail...etc. Plus Town Hall(Capitol) building....for god sakes! IT STILL HAS wrong perspective! GUYS SWITCH this in any graphic program! THAT IS EASY!!!!! Btw background with forest don't fit with Castle with proportions. 5). Highlands - weird name, boring town, but at least now is a bit better looking. These dragons don't fit at all....bruning guy looks cheap and bad! Mohawks dwarf too magnish....TOO MUCh dwaven units!(max3) 6). Courtyard - well i don't like this idea at all....but in the same time town and units looks very well made it! But Dodo - its a bit TOO ridiculous and silly for me...without it, i could play this town. 7). Pavilion - Terrible name;P Same like Courtyard - for me idea is BAD, we don't need "national" towns, we don't have Greek town, Celtic town, Goths town, Latin town, Persian town, etc....but we have many creatures from their mythology... but twon looks amazing, units mostly too....except that serpent with wings, looks very low quality;P
The problem often lies between the PC screen and the chair..., but now, really, if you have a problem with VCMI, feel free to ask and I will help you solve it.
It is incredible what you are doing, I have around 50 cities to be able to take😁✌️
Is Forge what factory ended up being ?
Nice work, thank you
Courtyard is like Dungeon - I can't make heads or tails of what its theme is supposed to be.
Full fledged Forge at last, after 25 years! What version of the game is needed to install this?
Answer is in clip title ;)
@@misioklesmisioklesowaty6216 there is no such version of "Heroes 3", cheez
Heroes 3 VCMI: heroes3wog.net/vcmi-download/
@@heroes3wog so Heroes 3 Complete only??
@@FaustRSIyes. gog version. other mods like hota needs it as well.
Can you customize which towns you want enabled in VCMI?
of course, one click enable/disable
@@heroes3wog Fantastic. Many thanks to the wonderwful modders!
more than that - mostly you download mods from launcher.

And where is Ruins town?

Forge & Bastion (pavilion) looks good, the rest does not fit the game at all
hilands town is good as well
@@popovanatoliy4736 all units there looks like typical WoG-recolor. All towns but Forge and Pavilion looking like unfinished alpha versions.

Is amethist mod compatible whith last VCMI versions? I do not see it with the Launcher.
I think screen in grove town needs to be remade.

Which school of magic has new spells? I think in Heroes 3 we need new school of magic...mind magic. =)

If those are considered the best looking I don't think i wanna see the 'others'
Very bugs
