Heroes of Might and Magic III: Conflux 1v7 (200%)

Conflux -- the second faction that is commonly banned or restricted in competitive play.
With the Slaughtered Sprites and the Flaming Firebirds, let's see what we can do using Conflux.

You should revisit Conflux in Horn Of The Abyss version of the game. They made it much less insane- sprite upgrade requires magic university, firebirds are more expensive and you only get three of them per week (third one requires building a new special building). They nerfed Necropolis in similar fashion by halving all necromancy effects and bonuses and replacing Galthran with different hero. I'd love to see a Cove gameplay as well, ofc.

I am pretty sure that putting all AI into one alliance is making things much easier, this way they won't counquer each other castles and snowball from that, so human player is the only one allowed to rush fully built town and stuff like that.

I need my pyre it's a PYRERORITY.

It's 2016. This game is still one of my favorite strategy game of all time. Even civ 5 couldn't top this.

Wow...I just want to say, you have gotten MUCH better at commentary since 2015. I mean no offense, but in the first part of the video, I almost found it unwatchable - you start and stop so many thoughts mid-sentence that its extremely aggravating! You get better as the video goes along; you begin to narrate your train-of-thought much more fluidly. Maybe you were nervous or something at the start.

The strangest part with Conflux is all of it's creatures are only weak against a specific spell. There is one creature in level 6 which is fully immune to magic when upgraded, also half of the faction line-up is just fine after the cast of Armageddon spell (namely: Fire/Energy Elementals, Magma Elementals, Magic Elementals, Firebirds/Phoenixes) which is really ridiculous. Not to mention there is the University building can be bought to make a hero learn specific magic secondary skills for the upcoming magic spells become available in the magic guild to strenghten those spells effectiveness compare to other heroes with magical preferences.

I just finished watching the 1v7 necropolis and this shows up as recommended. Thanks mekick. Consider doing a 1v7 tower next, I'd love to see how you'd take that approach since everything there is so cost intensive.

[@caboose202ful]

I'd be interested to see a Diplomacy run.

[@MrLegitimacyMode]

You said it would be cheating to double-build? Did I hear correctly? How? You are not breaking any rules, or exploiting bugs. You won the town, you have the right to use it as you wish. It's interesting, if it's fair, and fairly you won it.

The one thing that is the most impressive with this series of videos, is that mekick knows how to pronounce all the names of the heroes in the game.

This blew my mind when I was 8 and played this for the first time. 16 years later it's still my favourite game. You're video was fun to watch and taught me a lot about conflux and advanced techs I didn't know about! Liked and sub'd

+Emil Aavik For some reason, I cannot reply directly to your comment so I will have to do so here.

[@iwanromanow6038]

Pretty cool, that you don´t use fly/dimension door so early. Really appreciate that ^^

[@goldhetman729]

Conflux, the town that usually appears unconquered in almost every map.

[@Coldheart322]

I can remember when Conflux was released. I wonder how many people still remember the original faction they were planning: The 'cyborg/tech' faction. It used things like Goblins with rifles and Naga-tanks (yes, seriously), and I think orcs with rockets. There was HUGE player backlash (especially with the topless Naga-tanks for some reason), and Ubisoft changed it.

[@Gilgaberry]

This is the first four hour youtube video I have ever watched in it's entirety. What an adventure.

[@Skandbrand]

Oman this is my jam.
