A series from Hell... 😈 All episodes will be added here: ruclips.net/video/-Z1Qkndv0nc/видео.html Check the description for more info on mods / versions used.
Nice to see a new 1v7 series :D Was wondering if it would be possible for you to share the random map file, so that we can play along as well? Good luck with the insurrection and thanks for all the great content!
I am a 56 year old PC gamer who cut his teeth on Red Alert and HOMM 3. True story; my home was broken into just 3 months after I purchased my (then) $3200 Pentium 120 with a 3dFX card and 8Gb of RAM and 17" display. Took 6 weeks for the insurance to clear, and when it did HOMM 3 was the first game I re-purchased to go with my new PC. The very fondest of memories. Just stopping by to toot the horn of a new game in the genre, "Songs of Conquest"...because the more games like HOMM3 that succeed, the better games we will get!
To be honest, I really respect you. I’m playing the game for 15 years now (very casually and in episodes) and even on normal difficulty, this game sometimes breaks my back and makes me crawl into to corner of my room, crying. This level of skill is terrifying.
Btw RUclips Studio is telling me this video is only in Standard definition, not HD, but I can see HD resolutions completely fine on the watch page. 🙄If you can't see HD options then let me know and I'll re-upload if it's widespread.
Looks good here, 720p is what I always watch everything in ... not sure if that's considered HD anymore. I have an older device and it always lags if it's in 60 frames per second so this is what I personally prefer
Bro Idk HOW you can pull this off. 7v1 on impossible. Ive won 1 inpossible and 1 expert game but still struggle. Have to reload saves etc you make it look easy
I just love the silly little backstory that you're creating along the way, with how the "evil" creatures that you'd hired have now committed an insurrection and captured Loynis to be their scout. It's quite a lot of fun to project your own thoughts and ideas about how the plot of these campaigns would play out, which I guess is the sort of thing that you can't get with properly voice-acted and properly presented campaigns like in the later games (though do keep in mind I have not played any of the other games in the series yet).
Man I love the storytelling. If I may add, I think Christian is a lieutenant at a Castle but took bribe from the evil. He just has that face. (Some medusas might be keeping him lured)
Man. How tf did I not find your channel before. Wonderful channel. I already watched many of your videos right away today, probably will watch them all eventually. Keep it up man!
same kind of idea with conflux faction would be awesome too... i really love your homm3 content, calm and calculated, greetings from finland, keep it up
@@Norovo sounds about right for life these days 😜. All good here thanks, much the same as your good self! Good luck with the series and looking forward to next part! Keep it chilled til then dude
Im super new to your channel, but i love it. I came for the song of conquest but now its for everything! You do a good job of explaing and keeping things moving. Youre awesome!
This guy's resource management and way of taking minimal casualties every time is impressive. I have only played on impossible difficulty a few times and never against 7 opponents.
Dude, if you had an editor to make these 2h videos into 15mim quick paced videos (like the fallout challenges, runescape chunk series and stuff like that) you'd be one the biggest RUclipsrs of old school games. You're really knowledgeable and fun to watch
once you get past the beginning Inferno's a really good town - it's the beginning that is completely cursed for them, as the abysmally low number they get the starting units, which makes absolutely no sense. but especially when you can link multiple towns with castle gate they truly show their insane power. soo satisfying to be able to have a single defender hero between multiple towns who controls the army of all towns.
It's true that Inferno is a lot better in Hota, however I think that AI has been greatly improved in Hota as well, so at least you got that going for you. Good luck on the journey.
Loynis is just a warmonger. Step 1: War on the bad guys Step 2: Just before the good guys wipe out the bad guys switch sides and turn the tides Step 3: Just before the bad guys wipe out the good guys switch sides and turn the tides Step 4: Repeat Step 5: Warmonger-gazm
1 question:i saw you didn't acess to primary building like marletto tower, garden of knowledge, star of power... at the early time even they increase your heroes stat?
damn dude. i love this so muuuuuch! gonna prep some pizza and have a nice weekend watch. better than netflix imo. btw what version are you playing. i am completly new to this game edit sorry shadow of death
I'm not sure what you mean? It's not possible to demolish towns. I expect it would involve a lot more micro-management to defend conquered towns so not that fun imo, but in this series I try to focus on Inferno units. Also, I guess technically my Vampires Only series would count :)
Does the diferent random map setup screen comes from the mods you installed because I have a vanilla homm3 complet from gog and it'not lime that at all ??
Been trying everything to try and get the screen with the rankings of towns, heroes, etc that is at 42:40 - can someone let me know what shortcut that is? Playing on vanilla complete edition - is that overview not available in that?
Always have wondered: considering day7, is it better to build another dwelling or go for creature growth (citadel/castle) ? Is there an even breakpoint where a certain tier dwelling outweights the citadel/castle ? Is it situational depending on the creature utility ? I`m guessing you want to build for eg Angels instead of castle, but what about lower in tier creatures ?
I would say that if your current powerstack benefits from more growth go citadel, if you are making another unit that will be crucial then go for that. Example - if you cannot build lake for efreti and you are clearing map with gogs, i would go for citadel. If i can build lake and i skip citadel i go for lake so i can get efreet. Hope that helps.
I am not good at this game, but as far as I know it has been proven in practice that it doesn't matter much whether the AI is allied or not. I understand the logic behind the theory of them becoming stronger when not allied, but I saw some youtubers test it, and the theory seemed shaky in practice.
The mods I use are for complete edition, not the Steam version unfortunately. Complete edition is on sale at the moment (only £2 here in the UK), I put a link in the description
Accepting auto battle vs marksmen is simply cheating. There is no way the losses would only be 12 imps. On the other hand, rolling the marksmen as the guards is extremely unfortunate and you would have won easily vs most other tier 2 units. I really don't like the auto-battle but i can accept it as a RNG equalizer, especially since you put extra challenges for yourself in other aspects. Great job with the playthrough.
You could have hit and run the archers by blocking the drawbridge and then shooting with gogs and ballista and dancing efreet back and forth. Might have taken 2-4 turns of fiddling though. Not backseating (I don't know if it would be a good play) just replying to your statement that you couldn't have hit and run the archers.
I'll take your word for it as I can't remember the part you mean 😅 typically in a siege battle, my instinct is to kill off the enemy as quickly as possible as I'm used to keeps / arrow towers being there. I forget the drawbridge trick but it feels kinda cheesy sometimes anyway

Im actually so darn happy that people still play Heroes of might and magic 3
100%
Must be weird that your comment is 2 years old
@@randomrequirements9066 ive been playin homm3,4,5 since i was a youngin
Same here, I just love to see it still alive

Such a hyperbolic comment
You cant be serious ;) 15 years and still struggling with normal
20+ years and so few wins, so I get you.

@Azuri e perhaps, I haven’t played it
54:27 clicks to sell a random number of wood, gets offered 666 gold. to add to his 6661 gold👀
I was just rewatching the vampires only playthrough a few hours ago... im glad to see some new content!
Wow, basic Air Magic just in front of your hometown, good luck!
Wohoo!! Thanks for coming through on this much requested video!!
Sweeeet, excited about a new series of Heroes 3 episodes. You're my favorite content creator making these! Cheers :)
Man I love the storytelling. If I may add, I think Christian is a lieutenant at a Castle but took bribe from the evil. He just has that face. (Some medusas might be keeping him lured)
Really love your heroes 3 content! Your voice and dialoge is top notch! :D More HOMM3!
Man. How tf did I not find your channel before. Wonderful channel. I already watched many of your videos right away today, probably will watch them all eventually. Keep it up man!
Inferno, Impossible, vs 7 better towns. This guy is a masochist :D
One thing I truly love about these series is the story telling as roleplaying.
Love the 1v7 series! Keep it up! Thanks so much
same kind of idea with conflux faction would be awesome too... i really love your homm3 content, calm and calculated, greetings from finland, keep it up
Great! Another HOMM 3 series. I'm excited to see how the evil forces of Inferno deal with this map 😈
This has made my day 🤣
Great to see you back dude. Hope all is well?
All good, just very busy. Hope you're well too!
@@Norovo sounds about right for life these days 😜. All good here thanks, much the same as your good self! Good luck with the series and looking forward to next part!
Keep it chilled til then dude
Yes! Another Heroes vid!
I hope you are doing well!
I always look forward to your next upload.
Oh boy, can't wait to see how you get out of this allied mess. Good luck!
Clicked on the spot. Thanks for going inferno. Looking forward to the series.
Im super new to your channel, but i love it. I came for the song of conquest but now its for everything! You do a good job of explaing and keeping things moving. Youre awesome!
I love your videos :D Always get caught up in these when I should learn for exams..
Ayden looking like Andrew tate
xD
Yessss more HOMM3! Always glad to see it!
Great, looking forward to this series!
6:30 I like this little made-up backstory
This guy's resource management and way of taking minimal casualties every time is impressive. I have only played on impossible difficulty a few times and never against 7 opponents.
So. much. yes. I am hyped.
Thanks for the new series!
In-game music is a bit low. Another crusade playthrough! Time to beat some angeruuu!
Thankyou Noro, I love your content and especially HOMM3 and on a day like today with the storms
Hey just found this channel and loving it!
I'm still watching your other 1v7 playlists
Dude, if you had an editor to make these 2h videos into 15mim quick paced videos (like the fallout challenges, runescape chunk series and stuff like that) you'd be one the biggest RUclipsrs of old school games. You're really knowledgeable and fun to watch
Love this content!
I am excited for the new content! Looking forward to this series
Love to see you back Noro, waiting for more episodes. :) Cheers!
More Heroes 3 content nice!
Catched up on the castle crusade playtrough, was great.

It's true that Inferno is a lot better in Hota, however I think that AI has been greatly improved in Hota as well, so at least you got that going for you. Good luck on the journey.
Good point. If I do another series like this it will probably be HotA, I wonder if I'll feel the difference
10:45 "They shouldn't be able to retaliate" And yet they still do. Why?
Loynis is just a warmonger.
Step 1: War on the bad guys
Step 2: Just before the good guys wipe out the bad guys switch sides and turn the tides
Step 3: Just before the bad guys wipe out the good guys switch sides and turn the tides
Step 4: Repeat
Step 5: Warmonger-gazm
I love to find new homm3 channels
How can you play without casting much spell? Really amazing with less creatures but explore and fight monster more than your army
1 question:i saw you didn't acess to primary building like marletto tower, garden of knowledge, star of power... at the early time even they increase your heroes stat?
damn dude. i love this so muuuuuch! gonna prep some pizza and have a nice weekend watch. better than netflix imo. btw what version are you playing. i am completly new to this game
edit
sorry shadow of death
Haha, I feel the same way about some other people I watch. Thanks for the kind words!
Hey this is great, do you ever do matches where you only use the factions monsters and demolish towns?
I'm not sure what you mean? It's not possible to demolish towns. I expect it would involve a lot more micro-management to defend conquered towns so not that fun imo, but in this series I try to focus on Inferno units. Also, I guess technically my Vampires Only series would count :)
@@Norovo oh really? That must have been a mod then for heroes 3. It is the one with a three headed dragon.
I like your videos. Great explanation of options. Can you make some videos playing as Tower or Dungeon?
Thanks for videos,
greetings from Croatia :P
Does the diferent random map setup screen comes from the mods you installed because I have a vanilla homm3 complet from gog and it'not lime that at all ??
Recruiting Loynis is inappropriate thing to do with demon castle ! 1 minute later: lets pick up Loynis...
How do you get the coordinates when you travel, and all the info in and out of combat, is it some kind of launcher you are using? Please help
Been trying everything to try and get the screen with the rankings of towns, heroes, etc that is at 42:40 - can someone let me know what shortcut that is? Playing on vanilla complete edition - is that overview not available in that?
Hi! Great video. Can you please share your HD mod settings?
why do you have so little subscribers i dont get it, you deserve a lot more
How in gods name do you have it running at 60 fps i have the hd mod and HOTA what am i missing
Day 1 of week 3: 111 stone, on the hardest diff
is it possible to... learn this power?
Hello, what graphics settings are you playing?
What monster difficulty on random map settings are you playing?
Always strong
wow , most gold i ever seen as a start , good good good
Always have wondered: considering day7, is it better to build another dwelling or go for creature growth (citadel/castle) ?

what random map template are you using?
which mods are you using for the high res good graphics? can you make a tutorial for that? Thanks. love your channel.
Cool stuff, how are you getting the nice clean graphics?
I'm using the hd mod and i'm seeing the upscaled still somewhat pixelated version.
Can you make a series like this but leave 1-2 enemies allied to themselves, so the other AI can take their towns and become stronger?
I am not good at this game, but as far as I know it has been proven in practice that it doesn't matter much whether the AI is allied or not. I understand the logic behind the theory of them becoming stronger when not allied, but I saw some youtubers test it, and the theory seemed shaky in practice.
good content, very good watching
My toxic trait is thinking I’m as good as this guy when I play on easy
When are new videos posted??
I notice you always avoid picking up resources from a diagonal. Does this actually save movement or something?
Can you link the mod you mentioned that goes with the HD mod please?
I've added it to the description
Try with Rampart
There is a Rissa and a Brissa?
Yes
a harder challenge is playing all players inferno, not allied.
with the town gate, they will get massive armies.
I did won 3x3x2 with every single faction at 200%, now I am gonna start 2x2x2x2, dunno what to do later, 3x4? Or 3x5?
Give 3v5 a go 👍 remember you will only ever have to battle one opponent at a time, so if you keep losses down it's surprisingly doable
Next series: Playing Factory Finally!!! (With Loynis main).
Hey Norovo, one of the biggest H3 streamers ( Lexiav) reacted to your day of Reckoning video!! Glad your getting noticed.
Cool, I didn't spot that, thanks for letting me know!
Good vid
I'm a bit new to your channel, do you ever play with fans? If so It would be awesome to play a round together sometime!
I don't really do pvp currently. Maybe one day
Part 2 ! :)
can I add mods on heroes 3 steam version? if so can you tell me how?
The mods I use are for complete edition, not the Steam version unfortunately. Complete edition is on sale at the moment (only £2 here in the UK), I put a link in the description
Everybody wants to be my enemy!
New series, hell yeah! ''Hell'' yeah, see what I did there :p
yay more homm3
Accepting auto battle vs marksmen is simply cheating. There is no way the losses would only be 12 imps.

I really don't like the auto-battle but i can accept it as a RNG equalizer, especially since you put extra challenges for yourself in other aspects. Great job with the playthrough.
sooo daily upload for this one? :)
Tbh if I manage weekly uploads I'll be outpacing my usual upload rate 🤐
You could have hit and run the archers by blocking the drawbridge and then shooting with gogs and ballista and dancing efreet back and forth. Might have taken 2-4 turns of fiddling though. Not backseating (I don't know if it would be a good play) just replying to your statement that you couldn't have hit and run the archers.
And your catapult would probably ruin the set up pretty quick anyway
I'll take your word for it as I can't remember the part you mean 😅 typically in a siege battle, my instinct is to kill off the enemy as quickly as possible as I'm used to keeps / arrow towers being there. I forget the drawbridge trick but it feels kinda cheesy sometimes anyway
@@Norovo Haha it's so sad when you watch the ai just stand there.
Ayden looks like andrew tate lol
Finally
Arguably, it's more difficult to go against 7 FFA towns, because they can cannibalize each other and come at you with huge unit stacks.
How much to bribe for daily uploads?
Enough for me to quit the day job would be a big help 😆
1v7 is actually easier than free for all, because the CPU players cannot battle between them so they are left out of a lot of experience / levels.
Obym się nie musiał qurwa wracać gogsu.
Sir troglodyte?…
why u keep buying heroes and waste your money
How did Inferno get Loynis to join them you ask. By doing stuff to him, weird stuff, butt stuff.
