If they had a 10x speed on RUclips it MIGHT be fast enough to make it through one of your videos. You take two minutes to move a hero. Your 2 hour video could easily be 30 minutes.
Until now this was the most tense episode I've seen from you, and I was on the edge of my seat! That garrison and the fights, the struggle against overwhelming odds, this start was even harder than the Dwarf Tunnels start. Can't wait to see how your strategies at the end will turn out in the next chapter.
Yay Heroes! I credit you and Jerma for getting me into HOMM and I have only enjoyed losing repeatedly. Only game like that for me really. One day I'll swallow my pride and go for easy. Thanks for the content Noro.

@@joeyhuddleston7072 Oh my word it is him! It's the same guy that played TF2 with STAR_!!! What a coincidence! Didn't know that that Jerma was into HoMMIII, too!
"We've gotta rectify this right now" - he says at the start of a two hours long part 1 :P Great to have you back, though! This'll be a cozy watch for the evening! 16:20 Just.... that... was a face-palmy moment. Here I thought that you had a grand master plan and that's why you were so intent on getting the Hydra, when in reality.... 57:20 Well yes, but no (cartoon pirate meme)
26:11 Forgetfulness really makes water magic a high tier pick for me, yeah. Ranged are usually the ones I tend to avoid fighting because it sucks to take hits ya can't retaliate to, so to just remove ranged attacks from the field's pretty sweet.
I'm curious about your strategy. Why do you spend so much gold on town structures and upgrades early on instead of recruiting creatures with that gold? Isn't it too risky leaving yourself with so few units in the early/midgame? Wouldn't it be wiser to build a few structures and recruit creatures to go out - and then, when you have capitol and an economy going, you can build up on upgrades?
Not going for a gold mine before the garrison was a huge no no. Also how could You not figure that red custle is above You when all his Heroes were coming from there?
I fully understand running into that garrison. I just played the "Playing with Fire campaign" where you fight about a thousand "packs" of zombies and vampires but on the final map I accidentally ran into 500 vampire Lords.
I'm really bad at HOMM3 and only play single player. I have no interest in watching just to watch, but since you're playing on impossible I'm just watching to learn. Nice job.
Good stuff, i remember this scenario, played it as Red Dungeon lul, Grail helped me a lot with a little bit of portal of summoning cheese. Btw original soundtrack is back on the menu. Go team mighty Moos!
Mighty moos coming to the rescue. 🐮 Re: the original soundtrack, I never saw a reassuring explanation for what triggered the 1st wave of copyright issues so not ready to trust it again yet.
Little delayed on watching but I personally do prefer water magic on Fortress in sieges to tp over walls with Gorgon's/Hydras, specially on small maps with lots of enemies
at 1:06:33 how do you access the external dwelling without moving away and back to it ? Same with portals who can you teleport with out riding into them ? thanks
Iv'e currently set myself the goal of completing all single scenarios on impossible difficulty. Im playing on the complete edition. So far iv'e only had difficulties with the battle of the sexes and the five rings. Would love to see you try those ones out!
I loved playing this game as a kid. Thank you for posting this stuff. Is there anywhere in particular you would recommend buying this game like you have it? I tried buying the complete edition on GOG but it wasn’t working on my computer :/. Thanks again for the content :)
I think I use the GOG version... maybe 2nd hand CD copies are still a thing. If not, I would suggest asking for help in community spaces like Reddit or Heroes Community
@@BAMGM hey sorry I didn’t realize I got a reply. When I bought and downloaded the game the game would not boot up at all. No screen would flash up or anything just an error :/
Does the difficulty only affect human players? I know Impossible completely removes the starting resources from human players and possibly makes the AI more focused on sea,Ed human players, like in _Command & Conquer,_ but what about AI player resources?
i don't understand this gameplay at all... you keep buying worthless buildings like gnoll quarters (why would you need more of them? playing on impossible difficulty you will never be able to buy everything anyway, the unit sucks and the town has a lot of other more valuable units) and bunch of pointless heroes (what's the value in Jeddite in those circumstances? none) but then you don't use those buildings, leave the heroes standing behind despite having resources available to pick up everywhere, you have like 20 000 worth of gold in available units but keep wasting 2500 on heroes who sit around doing nothing while enemy has heroes nearby and you could wipe them out if not for wasted gold... you complain about not having gold to purchase units from more than two dwellings while sitting on 50 crystals and jewels... you could have easily had double the army on week 5, probably more than that. Also you didn't pay attention to enemy movement whatsoever, red heroes kept coming from top left corner but you ignored that part of the map. You had main hero with Wisdom close to town and guild mage available to upgrade but you refused to grab easy level 2 and 3 spells. Another thing which bothered me is that you stubbornly kept waiting with ranged unit on first turn in every single fight even when it was clear you will not get to shoot without penalty which multiple times meant you chose to not weaken enemy units before they would attack you and suffered bigger losses from their attacks than you should. You clearly have a lot of knowledge of the game considering your great use of one stacks, preparation before taking on buildings like crypts etc. but at the same time there were so many mistakes... Also, the garrison guarding neutral town being strong couldn't be more obvious. These are always very strong when they are far away from the player. Not to mention how garrison was still unclaimed despite having bunch of heroes roaming around it.
I've never seen the one group of creatures with the Snake looking thing and the lizard head dude and the two dragons. Is that a mod or another expansion?
I can't remember exactly, but I think you lost a lot of movement at 1:55, I think you should pick up the gems vertically, sulphur horizontally and go for the wood. Possibly skip the obelisk and pick it up later when you are picking up 12gnolls again
So, i would take the fight outside of the castle so you can flee if you think the battle is most likely going to be a loss. On this map, which is such a tough map, it makes sense.
Hi guys can someone help? which its the latest version of homm3? including cove function? I dont want the heroes with gost behemoths or black dragons flying like harpies etc..i hate it
Hey mate, if you wanna play range strats, play something with more range units. Seeing you just corner your sec unit, dragging the fights on... Kinda boring. Castle campaign was way more fun to watch.
My OCD is literally screaming everytime you decided, to NOT pick up available resources that you are RIGHT NEXT TO, for apparently no reason whatsoever..! AARGH!

The game looks amazing, what mod do you use to make it look like this?
Challenging playthroughs are way more interesting than watching someone steamroll through their opponents. This looks like it will be a great series!
Exactly.
Yeah you're right, and I relate way more to that actually 😅
Noro: "Going to keep turtling"
Game: WEEK OF THE TORTOISE
Either the game agreed with your decision or it was mocking you 🤣🤣
Just got to the part where you encountered the Garrison. That was a nasty surprise for sure XD, well managed though!

Wow, two hours? This is gonna be a treat.
Still fun to rewatch!
Glad to see new HOMM 3 content! I'm enjoying a lot the gameplay so far. Keep it up!
I kinda love to watch the struggle tbh, to mix things up. Keep up the great content my man.
Love your Heroes 3 stuff, glad to see more of it!
You just made my Saturday evening Noro! And 2 hours to boot, what a time to be alive!
Thank you for the video. How soothing! I just left the video playing and your voice sent me to sleep comfortably.
always a treat to see a new homm3 video from you, looking forward to the conclusion
The Mighty Gorgon is my favorite unit in the entire game. Btw, nice playing by your side
This is by far the most enjoyable game to watch. Thank you very much.

Can't wait for the next part! Good work.
1:21:52 Well to be fair, there was the warning before the battle from Bron that he felt that the odds were overwhelming. :D
I agree. He should have lost his army for nothing rather than lose most of it eliminating that Garrison. :D
26:11 Forgetfulness really makes water magic a high tier pick for me, yeah. Ranged are usually the ones I tend to avoid fighting because it sucks to take hits ya can't retaliate to, so to just remove ranged attacks from the field's pretty sweet.

Well, the first risky garrison push did 😅
@@Norovo "what can go wrong if i do it again" no? :D

New fella to your channel, keep it mate!
1:18:40 that pull of the 16 Gorgons to defence, rather than attacking the gryphons, is questionable to me.
Little delayed on watching but I personally do prefer water magic on Fortress in sieges to tp over walls with Gorgon's/Hydras, specially on small maps with lots of enemies
I am running out of heroes 3 content please make more
Ready for part 2!
Looks tough. Enjoying it though!
I remember this map. Took me forever to figure out how to beat it
upgraded lizards are pf pf🦎🐲🐉🦕🦖🐊🐸🐢
This isn't backseat gaming, how did you watch 5 red heroes in a row come out the top left corner and think to yourself "he has to be top right".
I got the series on the iPad and used to just have the kids play it when we were on the road
Norovo, I've played and made maps for the "Complete" Heroes for years. I've never seen a Cove town? I've always played it on a PC.
at 1:06:33 how do you access the external dwelling without moving away and back to it ?
Same with portals who can you teleport with out riding into them ?
thanks
Press the spacebar when you're on top of them, no need to run out and back again. This also works for most objectives, not just dwellings and portals.
Haha I was waiting for the ball to drop about trading for the hydras.
Iv'e currently set myself the goal of completing all single scenarios on impossible difficulty. Im playing on the complete edition. So far iv'e only had difficulties with the battle of the sexes and the five rings. Would love to see you try those ones out!
I remember playing those. Battle of the sexes can be a tough one indeed. Keep going!
yeah bruv Five Rings, hated that one, think it took me like two hours, but one of the most annoying scenarios for sure
Hopefully I will get round to them - potential high difficulty noted!
Holy F do i miss those game sounds!!!
Fortress is my favorite and im so sad it hasn't come back in other heroes games v.v
my favourite series :-)
ohhhh boi oh boi. a dude that plays heroes ang aoe2... i suck at these games. this is going to be a blast
Yay more heroes 3 videos :D
for someone complaining about economy and income you sure took your time building the capitol....
14:18 is defending really better than curse from attack here?
Excelent bro, well done ! How can I get this version of the game ? I just have Heroes 3 complete

Hello love your videos just wanna ask where can I get the full game with luna city atd?
It's the "Complete edition" - should be available on GOG and I think also the Ubisoft store
In HotA, Resistance is supposed to be replaced with Interference but I guess it switches back if you're playing a non-HotA map?
Most likely
yeah exactly this, and also u cant play with hota heroes like Beatrice or Ranloo, well Beatrice is only avaible when there is no water on the map
Why your music is different? I heard one of those melodies in different game. Please let me know.
You forgot to use spells against the OP garrison.
Happens a lot. I don't understand why he wouldn't use spells to save troops, even on the minor fights.
This game is immortal. Fun scenario, Hydras make it easy. Fortress is OP.
I've never seen the one group of creatures with the Snake looking thing and the lizard head dude and the two dragons. Is that a mod or another expansion?
what mods are you using for moving the troops?
I can't remember exactly, but I think you lost a lot of movement at 1:55, I think you should pick up the gems vertically, sulphur horizontally and go for the wood. Possibly skip the obelisk and pick it up later when you are picking up 12gnolls again
Question from a newbie with nostalgia - why do you take your fights in open field instead of using your city defenses?
So, i would take the fight outside of the castle so you can flee if you think the battle is most likely going to be a loss. On this map, which is such a tough map, it makes sense.

Horn of the Abyss mod. I think ghost behemoths are Wake of Gods, a different mod.
I don't understand why he flags external dwellings that he doesn't fight
novoro, man, I like your videos. But for the love of god CAST THE SPELLS!
Why did you spent all these money on 1st month 2nd week 5th day instead of waiting one more day and build capital?
Why does Bron have resistance? I thought HotA banned that? Is it because you are on a SoD map?
Yeah, Resistance is retained on SoD maps
You seem to disregard the quest for the grail in all your series :D Why?
