Few life hacks: 1) you can use aoe damaging spells to wake your own troops from blind/paralyze effects (when you either can't cast cure/dispel/anti magic or can't cast cure/dispel at expert level to wake up multiple stacks at once) 2) poor man's tp will deliver any amount of artifacts with the hero, so you can use poor manning to transfer the junk artifacts directly to the artifact merchant towns and to dispense the valuable artifacts between your heroes in a single turn for the hero recruitment cost by poor manning them with a low value artifact carrier hero. 3) you can seal the town gate with the force field spell, causing the defending non-flying troops to be trapped inside the walls for the fixed two rounds per cast. this can be utilized to avoid melee contact with the enemy troops of a much larger defending force and to bait only the flyers from the town before engaging the non-flyers, especially against the AI who doesn't know to dispel the spell or a town with no hero to dispel the spell 4) when hitting each other under berserk, dendroids will root each other in place for infinite duration, so you can kill massive stacks of wandering dendroids with your magic and ranged units without ever needing to touch them melee just if you berserk them to root each other in place 5 )you can deny enemys turn with the berserk spell to prevent them from fleeing (even if the closest unit is your own it will still deny the turn of the berserked units) (original: my life hack: death ripple acts as a mass dispel against blinds and paralyses if you don't have actual mass dispel or mass cure at hand)
On the berserk trick you can often take pot shots at them because they steal each others retaliation. Just position so you can berserk and move away the next turn!
you can also use berserk to deny ranged turns from a wandering army when you don't have enough fast stacks to close the ranger stacks at once. berserk the topmost stack and position your melee unit on the bottom side of the second topmost stack so the closest stack to the berserked one will be their friend.
I'm pretty sure that depends on the speed of the units. If the unblinded creature's turn is at start of the new round due to being faster, there's nothing to stop that.
Those golems are stupid af. Its likre running after a mosquito up and down the alley while each time you reacj a turning point bear smacks you with pawZ
@@alex_the_magician9483 Oh no! I'm sorry to hear about that. But, while most aren't as comprehensive as HotA, there are tons of other HoMM3 mods available, both completed and in progress.
not a pvp exploit but it works vs the AI(i guess there are lots of those): you take a hero you dont need with 7 stacks of a single creature and attack them. they will almost walways cast summon elementals, which will lower their mana to 0 after you repeat it enough times
Hi Alex. I have just read that psychic elementals only do half damage to creatures that have mind spell immunity. Like undead, elementals and so. Dont know if that really works, i havent checked that out, but if it does, it might be worth thinking about during psychic elementals break, guards etc.
Is it true that turns are decided By speed? So the fastest unit goes first because it's the fastest. Then the next fastest unit on the field can play it's turn, etc?
Hmm, I assumed it was the HD mod, but perhaps it is HOTA. Here's the list of extended functionality for the hd mod - sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/eng/ui-and-game-settings-extended-functionality
do you have any other more beginner friendly tips? I am not very good at the game and keep losing to AIs on higher difficulty.i have been looking for a few videos but couldn't quite get what i was doing wrong.
Interesting tips! However whenever I try the blind thing, it seems the blinded unit immediately takes the next turn upon waking up regardless of how fast or slow it is.
I think my most hated spell in the third game is blind mostly because of reasons like this. its such a op spell especially when one side have it and the other dont.
Regarding berserk, (at least) in the original version i have, (which only has the standard eight town types), if you cast it on a creature stack that is completely alone (indeed works best if your opponent only "has" that one stack), and it's too far away to reach any of your creatures on the first turn, then it'll miss its turn completely, it won't even be able to defend! And you can just shoot them off with your range units, however many turns it takes (make sure you have the ammo cart if you think this might take a while), and you can 'rinse and repeat 🔂'; cast berserk again the whole time, and he won't get a single move, and you won't lose anything. I've done this against neutral creatures on the map, but should work against a hero - human or computer - as well.
@@alex_the_magician9483 TBH I disagree. Planning how to built a town in a way of economy or army is much more fun. Like every strategy game up to date not just lame farming the same units every time. In JC every town has the same units what kills the purpose of the town. Having Angles in a Inferno town is a immersion killer or having Inferno heroes in Castle town, etc... It is like playing Staracraft where Terrans can built Protoss units and Zerg can built Terran units not including infested ones. In Jc mostly every town is the same.

This may be a little too far away from the other points, but I wanna mention the Heroes3Assist, the JC guard / box calculator. Some people called it cheating, but for me it's better that players don't try to remember the values and formulas - and there certainly would be some crazy guys that have insane memory and calculation powe doing it xD Agreed, that places them above people who can not do it, but that's not the aspect in which we should be competing.
True some people consider it cheating. Although I've also heard people say that it's pretty useless in most cases.... because you're probably going to take the pandora box anyway even if there's a chance that it will be spells that you can't learn.

Full consumables or no consumables. It dosnt change anything. Unless the warrior and priest is complete trash, itll never even be a fight.

One of my favourite tricks is to take down opponents anti magic with dragonflyes. Or the funny version from the other side take sphere of permanence and cast anti magic then - the opponent can easily sacrifice a stack of dragonflyeas just to realise it did not work :P
I am more interested in overwhelming evolution of AI. Seems to be better than us at playing games, brain and heart surgery, creating deep fake, manipulating sound and image and killing humans Difficult for AI to answer a phone call to solve any problems or just energy problems. It just seems that humans are better nothing we make is better than us, especially AI because learns from us, all lies, mistakes, adding tech errors like error 404,access denied, malfunction. Most important seems lack of soul so doesn't know what is right, good or wrong so can do wrong things forever without noticing.
It is fun to find exploits but also it often sucks fun out of game. Like playing chess with grand master - he has almost 0 improvisation as he knows how game will go in next 15 turns.

3) you can seal the town gate with the force field spell, causing the defending non-flying troops to be trapped inside the walls for the fixed two rounds per cast. this can be utilized to avoid melee contact with the enemy troops of a much larger defending force and to bait only the flyers from the town before engaging the non-flyers, especially against the AI who doesn't know to dispel the spell or a town with no hero to dispel the spell
4) when hitting each other under berserk, dendroids will root each other in place for infinite duration, so you can kill massive stacks of wandering dendroids with your magic and ranged units without ever needing to touch them melee just if you berserk them to root each other in place
