noro i love you
because of this game, my whole life the word "Troglodyte" reminded me of the image of a green, blind, bald-headed little reptilian fellow with a spear.
good times
Yep, for me, the same goes for "Behemoth" as well! Whenever anyone mentions the word outside of HoMM3 context, it is still the lvl 7 creature that I picture in my head.
@@MetzanV oh yea i remember being in elementary and the teacher asked us to name some mythical creatures and i said behemoth haha.
everyone thought i said venomoth tho and said i was dumb cos thats a pokemon not a mythical creature
Me too! Imagine how excited I was to find this song as the first track on an awesome new album last year!

Your videos got me to play Homm III again after so many years, forgot how much I enjoyed it
Man, I don't wanna sound like a weird fan or anything, but this vid was pure ASMR. The combination of your quiet way of talking and the bgm really sent me into a calm state. Kudos to you, good sir - loving the content, as always.
Don't worry! I feel the exact same way! I watch noro's content whenever I wanna unwind, and as you've said, his voice and music choice are perfect!
Yeah lol. I listen him in a work without video. Hes voice is calming
Same here mate, i put his videos while working, his voice and the way he narrates the game is so calm, so peaceful
Thank you for keeping these games alive!
yes !
Hey,
I have no idea why the RUclips algorithm sent me on one of your videos, I havent touched Heroes 3 since at least 15 years, but I guess I'm once again addicted to it.
Great videos, thanks for sending me back to memory town
"Shouldn't take more than a week!"
_Three months later…_
This was a fun little map! Thanks for playing it!
Thanks for the new HOMM III video. I love this game!!!
Your voice and the cadence in which you talk is super soothing. I like the videos keep them coming!
It's a treat watching you play, I'm picking up sooo many tips and tricks about early exploration and expanding. The thought of moving the main army to a secondary hero at the end of a turn just to clear an easy fight never really ocurred to me :D And again, simply putting tier 1 units in 7 different stacks is also genious for defending, never thought about that either!
I love your Heroes 3 content. Always a great way to relax.
You just made my day! Thanks, Norovo!
I'm really happy youre still posting HoMM3 videos. I just came across your stuff randomly a few weeks ago, gave me the nostaglia from heroes 3 and given me a ton of fun from watching vids and playing one of the 2 biggest games of my childhood.
What's the other big game of your childhood mate? Just curious if it's the same one as mine haha
@@fabiocosta3306 diablo 2 and old school Dota in Warcraft 3
Awesome! A new HOMM3 playthrough :) thanks for the upload. The map seems interesting.
Keep the content coming, I really enjoy watching it in the background at work :P
Game is crack!
Was fun watching you play
I love your content. You just made my day with your upload :)
I enjoy your playstyle man. Awesome to watch
BROOO I recently started playing Heroes 3 again, and started playing HOTA with a buddy. Loving your videos and the Nostalgia is amazing haha
Me: I wanna be a hero from Homm III.
Goldfish: Sure, you can be Aeris from this game. Sleep well.
love your homm content
Love the vids! thank you for fueling my HOMM 3 addiction so I dont need to play
Great video!
You are very good at this game, it was the game of my childhood so you've got my respect
nah, he's exactly average.
Great! Keep going. I very likes watching you playing when I play 😅
yes! A new HoMM3 video!
Love this game. great stuff
thanks for the video :)
Oof, that was painfully long. Nice job!
Love watching your vids bro, would love to watch u play Maelstrom again.
Would like to see a playthrough of the New Day Tomorrow map, it's a pretty long one, but really good.
I'm so glad I found this channel, very chilling and cosy watching you play HOMM3. One question, during combat you are able to see the range of the expected number of kills if you would attack, what do I have to do to get that functionality?
SoD_SP add-on for the HD mod, should be linked in the description
So many tactics I never thought of that show why I don't think I've ever beaten one of the HOMM levels.
in the middle of video and man idk seems like harsh one, nice to see thought process behind playing my childhood game on high difficulty and impact little things make
I Think there is no Grail in this map, maybe a Treasure as the name of the map. And Pyre must have it since she got 17 atk (synergize very well with Blista).
I love your content . Request :please play the map "Dominion " next time you play Heroes 2. It's my favorite level from Childhood. Anyone but necromancer on it
Wow he’s back
Loved this game and game series . Wish they made it remasters to play it on new PCs : I loved Armageddon’s blade expansion one of my fav games ever
Hi, I am new to your chanel. I think you are doing great. It´s a pleasure to watch your videos. I am wondering how you can split your units so fast with just a few clicks on the status window? Is this a mod or something?
Yep, it's the HD mod linked in the description
I was hoping you'd build up the mage guilds to look for fly or dimension door, though I wouldn't be surprised if those were disabled or something. Great playthrough to watch but I just know that was tedious to finish up!
It was haha - needed to hang onto mage guild resources for the quest guards!
You should have gone for the blue heroes, they could have the needed artifacts just like they had the wooden armor.
You could have built the +1 Defense building in the fortress town and get the stat that way
Wasn't there also another Marletto tower near that town that he never visited with that hero?
I'm stuck at last gate asking for +6 defense and I am far from it, I killed every creature and the other cpu players aswell, what can I do?
I failed this map, because I could only 4 defense. Black market had no defense boost items and neither did the Artifact merchant. I couldn't arse myself to farm the respawning creatures. Kinda funny map other than it might not soft-lock, but make finishing really tedious.
Now I actually finished watching your playthrough. Didn't think about the altar of sacrifice myself. Might go and finish the map now.
At 9:25 you could've bought Citadel and then Dwarf Cottage. (I can't judge, I didn't notice that until the next day myself)
Hey, not an avid Heroes player here. Could anyone explain to me what happens when an enemy hero picks up a quest artifact and ends up banished or otherwise disappears? Do the artifacts go to the black market? But what if there is no black market on the map?
I think the artifact stays on the hero, and they get added to tavern pool (so can be eventually be found by repeatedly buying and dismissing heroes)
@@Norovo Makes sense, I bet it has ended the games of many people who didn't know about that though
I remember that map :)
32:15 (Noro(never) lose hope)
Will you ever play the Heroes Chronicles campaigns? Would love to see you play through them.
Good show sir..
at 18:20 how do you move trough the two way portals with out walking into it ?
space bar
My prayers have been answered 😂
fun map
You are back.
All the obelisks are closed, how in the heak they know? 😔 they are bots.
Pyre had 15 and 16 attack in the first two fights already haha thats why she beat you
I like game, but I still haven't found a way how to overcome 2 personally frustrating things. One of them is that to have a chance against AI , a big part of the game, you'll have to keep eggs in one basked aka your army, and if one of the enemies backdoors you will have annoying time chasing it. But at least this part is manageable. Worst-case scenario, you can reload before it shows up.
And second thing, some maps will have AI with strong armies from start and if one of them visits your kingdom early, I have no idea how to deal with it. Anyway, that's more my issues and not games problem.
Yeah, those can be frustrating. In some situations it's best to get used to losing towns, if you can do something more useful elsewhere. I often stick some weak defenders in just to pick off a few attackers with the towers and focus on conquering elsewhere
23:40, what is that sound? I don't think I have ever heard it before :D Is it one of the terrain themes? It just gets cut off for a moment.
Yep, it's Heavy Heart by Kevin MacLeod, the sand theme in my custom (copyright safe) soundtrack
Does HoMM 3 music get copyright strikes???
@@Norovo gotcha, thanks!
@MazanakaUA Not full copyright strikes, but a little over a year ago Heroes 3 vids were hit by a wave of copyright claims due to the soundtrack. It's better now, I think, but ever since I've been using a custom soundtrack
oh wow, you've moved on to another challenge before I could comment.
I was going to suggest that despite everything, this was just too easy for you.
Maybe do this campaign over again. Only this time, Skeletons only?
29:36
Don’t mind me I’ll be back later
not buying that treasury early hurt my brain. So much gold lost lol.
👍👍👍👍
It is truly fascinating watching this. My strategy is SO much different, it's almost spooky, but I love to learn and study other techniques. Believe me, I'm stealing from you anything that helps! Ha
❤
Have you ever thought of playing Lord of the rings mod for Homm3? I hear its quite fun.
I hope to one day
1:05:21 I'm confused... Why wouldn't casting bless on you Elves be better than casting a 20-damage Magic Arrow?
Damage range from Elves was 98-164 (for an average of 131), so blessing them would increase effective damage by 66 (33x2 cause Grand Elves have two shots). Definitely better than a magic arrow !
Or maybe the damage range that was given was for the total of the two shots? In which case yeah, not a big difference :P
I might be wrong, but I believe HD mod normally shows damage per shot while the SoD_SP addon (which I'm using) shows the dmg range for two shots. It's a bit confusing.
@@Norovo Ayy that might be that indeed. It would make sense, because I'm pretty sure I had already tested the effects of Bless in my games, and the damage range given was only per shot
Why did you start using Magic arrow at 1:10:00 ? You've got 50 spell points you can definitely stomach the 8sp ice bolt....
Also, why did you waste your spells on those Hydras? They are literally damage sinks, I feel like that battle could have played out better by killing units with lower HP counts first using the ice bolts.
Was this hota version?
Looks like he's just using HD Mod. In HotA your starting hero will always have 3 starting stacks and your initial town will have the first two tiers of dwellings built (unless the map is otherwise modified).
min-A-tor and cen-tor elocution my man!
It's not ALWAYS a good idea to split one unit into 6 with 1 each. you need to do some math FIRST. this is why you never really do better than the autobattler. you're basically also just autobattling and not thinking things through. You want stacks that are exactly just big enough to take out an enemy stack in a single hit. having a bunch of 1 stacks running around does very little, and usually they end up being unnecessarily sacrificed. maybe 1 or 2 1 sized stacks as decoys, but having say, 30 centaurs, you don't need more than 13 or 14 to take out a stack of 6 imps (by 3 stacks, say) in a single hit, so 2 stacks of 14 plus 2 stacks of 1 each is MUCH more efficient than one stack of 24 plus 6 stacks of 1 each. you will end up losing LESS units that way.
How about an ”elves only” challenge? 😊
Kyrre is canonically trans
stopped watching when you didn't take basic water magic. that was just too painful
