I guess you all know the game.
I heard a rumor there is a patch where when u play in multiplayer all players can move at the same time so you don't have to wait for each other's turn.
U only wait for each other's turn when it is possible to encounter a different player on the map.
Anyone has any idee of what i am talking about ?

I played a lot of this mode (aka simultaneous turns) in heroes 5 expansion and must say it's improving the first part of the game great, but then usually it stops after 3-10weeks (depends on mapsize) till the end and players play 1 after another. Also if u are "pro" you sometimes send many heroes with some small armies to beat creeps on the way and it ends way faster, week 1-3. However never heard of it being available for h3 and would definitely try it out cause i still play it on hamachi

[Crown1]

so anyone ?

You might be thinking of the "Ghost Mode" which is in HOMM 5.

Not quite: ghost mode is different -

Spoiler

when enemy does his normal turn with hero/castle, you do your turn with ghost (smth like a hero that has very limited abilities, can help you a bit or disable enemy a little), then u switch and u play normal turn while he plays ghost.

Simultaneous turns =

Spoiler

players play every game-day in the same time (next day starts when they both finish turn) and there are only standard things, no ghosts. That shit is ultra good when u wanna play as more than 2 players.

For H3 - if it was more than just rumor - S. turns would improve ANY multiplayer and finally make 4-6 players games damn playable (cause of waiting time reduction).

[Crown1]

#7 very true, it's a very fun game to play in multiplayer, but anything more then 2 players is madness and gets ultra boring since u play 3 mins and wait 10.
So i guess it is just a rumor...yes?
Do any further Heroes games have this implemented?
I guess heroes 5 has it since #2 answered me.
But does it work good ?
And is it worth swaping the classic fun Heroes III for it's latest versions ?

Ah... reminds me of the good ol days... 7th grade, friend's birthday.. multiplayer Heroes III, Alpha Centauri and Magic The Gathering all day long. Nerdvana baby!

[McBat]

I haven't heard of anything like that and I used to play a lot of Heroes III back in the days. It's a false rumor, I guess. Anyways, >hot seats< are the best, with a couple of friends and a dozen of beers.

[Crown1]

Ok well since i started a thread about heroes 3, does anyone ever finished dragon slayer campaign ? i find it imposible

[Crown1]

The Fearie dragon quest is imposible..

[unforgiveniii]

I used only iron golems in my fights with fearie dragons and i won pretty easily...just cast some mass slow/mass berserk and they die pretty quickly

me neither, don't know it at all

[Muga_Riptide]

The Fearie dragon quest is also a little luck based if you have the resistance skill. My hero had Logistics, Resistance, Sorcery, Earth and Air Magic, Wisdom, Armory and one skill I forgot... must've been something passive on the background like Scolar or Intelligence or Leadership...

My suggestion to add to #13 is to save before every fight. Do the fight 3x and save all 3 the outcomes then pick the best one and delete the rest of the save games. Repeat this... and yeah Iron Golems are by far the best choice.
