Lexiav is playing Heroes of Might and Magic III with the HotA (Horn of the Abyss) expansion and the community-built HD Mod (not to be mistaken for the HD version on Steam): www.hota.acidcave.net/downloa...
He uses the online lobby for multiplayer games.
If you wanna have the smooth animations, like he does, you gotta use this setting from the HD Launcher i.imgur.com/1nJtywI.png

I played Heroes 3 when i was 12 in 2005 and now im watching you, your vids have taken me from a scub to actually being 400 rating... i never realised how in depth this game can go lol

[@kevinnitta1301]

The backstabbing dragons and diagonal movement were impressive.

[@ActionableFreedom]

well its an exploit that probably should be banned/fixed but it would be a pain in the ass to check and nobody is working on it so its there. Someone just noticed it and it spread but its pretty lame.

[@jerekukkapaa6870]

Once i started watching you i could'nt stop

[@adamlisowski7774]

9:35 he painted heart for us 🥺

[@sclarke6969]

Thanks for the 00:00 intro timestamp. much use

[@thevinbenter2250]

I have an idea for another tips and tricks vid Maybe you could do a vid on how to kite different creature banks, and how to organise your army accordingly.

[@sunjai01]

The knowledge is real here

[@ZeNoNMiSzCzU]

HELP me, I'm sucked into watching Lexiav. I just can't stop...

[@ingerasulffs]

Move diagonally and you can get away...

[@TedSCSI]

One more detail about the Vortex trick: you can also use Town Portal to teleport to the castle with Vortex and than enter the castle the way you've described without triggering mana reload.

[@TheNethIafin]

god you are on fire with those videos

[@darthkurisu273]

you learn something new everyday tnx Lexiav and editor !

[@alexanderkondratov]

SUPER amazing as usual, thanks Lexiav!

[@qayss8977]

I thought I knew it all, but the dragon "blind spot" attack is new to me, and certainly useful in many situations.

[@0mni_976]

Please more of these! Keep going with your fantastic work

[@ungrimironfist5740]

Awesome stuff:-) Been watching your vids and wondering about exactly these things since you don't usually explain everything in detail there. They more or less just "happen" :-)

[@TheAleksanderNess]

Love your channel love your personality! It always puts me in a good mood and your content is top notch! Love it! Found my love for the game trough your videos. last time i played was like 12 year sago. A game i grew up with! Thank you

[@enumerate]

Someone should do a list of all the known people who first discovered unique tricks. Who are the great innovators?

[@TommyDobi]

I've been playing this game ever since it came out but I didn't know about the trick with the dragons...I wonder what else do you know that I don't:D looking for part 2

[@comodelargomedejateneresto2968]

Really helpful, the backstab is cool

[@thetryku7785]

We can mention that other terrains also have this bug with last diagonal move. It doesn't require full ammount of movement points for that type of the ground but don't remember individual numbers :)

[@Queenbg1]

These are some unresolved bugs in the game. Probably forbidden in official tournaments?

[@trizmisce]

and here I am, rushing capitiol by day 7 every game

[@paveldrumev2117]

2nd week works better but its depends :)

[@rodionpopkov9179]

thank you!

[@crismonperser]

the backstab of the drake was 200 IQ move

[@MiksuHaksu2]

[@BambinoMukko]

Im a big fan of your skill. Can you make a video where u showing how to clear banks or how to make fights? I have a problem with it.

[@hommhommhomm]

1:03 doesn't the enemy stacks also depend on the map square coordinates (like a pseudo-random behavior)?

[@wrestlingjesus2893]

YOU LITERALLY EAT, SLEEP, BREATHE HOMM3....

[@pipper4747]

I didnt understand the vortex trick, didnt you activate it by clicking? or was it changed later?

[@datydabom]

Also is there a possibility of you doing some 1 on 1 coaching at some point would love that! For a generous donation ofc ;)

[@Dudukchura]

Hey Lexiav, check out a video by The Xenofex named "Heroes 3 movement full guide tutorial". I believe he covers everything regarding that last "cheat" move.

[@PlotDevice1]

Tips and tricks 2 on the horizon?

[@Tunichtgut789]

Inferno terrain does not have a penalty ? i thought it is like rough?!

[@nguyenhundu]

Please help me! How do I get the jebus outcast map type in random maps when I play a single player? My template doesn't have it!

[@victormagal8866]

You need HotA DLC

[@nguyenhundu]

@@victormagal8866 pls help me with some link! Tks!

[@victormagal8866]

@@nguyenhundu Lexiav made a tutorial about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHOmiWyqjNd0etU&ab_channel=Lexiav The website for download is this one: www.hota.acidcave.net/download.html

[@sprocket73]

Lexiav, have you heard about map named LIMES INFERIOR?

[@strategos2219]

can you give tips about Mighty Gorgons :P

[@rasmussten1206]

A better video than just bringing that up would be one where he talks about all the equations that effects creature specialities or all equations in general. Like how you get the most hero movement as long as your slowest creature has at least 10 speed and the quadratic equation that the Haspids use for their revenge

[@skillaxxx]

@@rasmussten1206 That sounds like Sseths review of the game actually ... Like the game, a masterpiece ;)

[@rasmussten1206]

@@skillaxxx he is not playing HotA though and not like he trademarked the term “quadratic equation”.

[@7bimbim]

So dragon weakness is its butt

[@milosmml7777]

Fake movement: If(points > 0) { Move(); TakeAwayPoints(); } Fix: If(points >= MovementCost) { Move(); TakeAwayPoints(); }

[@erykbazak9500]

Just copy pasting another comment hope you will see that great idea! I have an idea for another tips and tricks vid Maybe you could do a vid on how to kite different creature banks, and how to organise your army accordingly.

[@dimitarkolev5078]

giving you tips and tricks or showing you bugs and glitch h3 not fix :D

[@MatejVelican]

Dude, please move your camera to the left side so we can actually see what army you got :D
