I played Heroes 3 first and I have to say, this game is beautiful, the art and sound is timeless. I appreciate this is a sort of HD mod type situation but I'm blown away, genuinely. I think I prefer this art direction over 3.

[@TheNovicek]

It looks even better if you actually integer upscale it (possible with fheroes2) as all the art is pixel art.

[@art322]

I agree, i prefer the hand drawn pixel art of heroes 2

[@thejoin4687]

The titans are a case in point. In Heroes 3, they just look like thin men or golems with a helmet on. In Heroes 2, they look like mighty TITANS: tall, stern, imposing, and deadly. And when they die, it's a mighty demolition.

Once a week this goodness is too little. More please!

[@codeinject]

This one felt like 10 min😢. Hope thr next one is up next week. Great series!

[@vakistan3508]

Amazing comeback with those Nomads, they arent bad if you have a good attack stat.

[@paletreker]

Your videos are so relaxing 😌 so is your voice. It's really nice just to chill after a long day with some quieter content... Will you ever play homm V? I remember it as pretty nice though I played it a long time ago. Anyway I enjoy your videos, carry on!

[@Norovo]

Thank you! I never really played HoMM5, but maybe will cover it one day as it gets requested a lot

[@Magnus2dead]

I played this as a kid when it came out, really started my love for the series and is fantastic to see videos on it! Truly a classic and though not as great as HoMM 3 it definitely should be seen more.

[@buzby6712]

New video! Woo!

[@Hanafjedle2023]

I just love watching your HoMM videos.

[@Norovo]

Thanks so much!

[@alextubari]

In HoMM3 Nomads have a Special Ability: Sandwalker Nomads' sandwalker special ability causes hero to ignore terrain penalty on sand. This ability applies if the hero has at least one nomad in his army. Can also be true for HoMM2

[@Norovo]

I did consider this but don't think it is true for HoMM2, is it? I haven't tested it

[@KyriosHeptagrammaton]

@@Norovo They don't have the ability in Homm2, but I hope the fHeroes team adds that in somewhere. It's so fitting.

[@The_Strawberry_Fox]

Looking good! I do love Heroes 2, and Knight is actually one of my favourites.

[@MagnusMoerkoereJohannesen]

"Going back to Ector... The obvious choice is to use Dimitry" :D Poor Ector, he doesn't get any respect.

[@RussellAllert]

Another awesome episode!

[@digimurtal]

I just bursted nostalgia... all over

[@TubeTunes-gx6eo]

Great playthrough!

[@aronaranyossy]

Love the content mate! You should move with everyone before trading though, you wasted quite a bit of resources :)

[@timwhitman3207]

Great episode! Do we really have to wait a week for the next one? :(

[@Norovo]

Yes, sorry! But it's up now

[@kirin7945]

early gang😊

[@Alcynd]

I also thought the foundry was a golem dwelling or something. Been a while since i played.

[@KyriosHeptagrammaton]

19:54 I tend to fight the master, any idea what the what is needed to win that? Can you actually lose?

[@Norovo]

I think it's based on chance. So you can lose your hero if you're unlucky

[@JoLiKMC]

I just noticed (again)… Norovo is using the MIDI music instead of the CD music. I forget what someone told me before, but is this a preference, something to do with copyright claims, or did he just never install one CD soundtrack or another?

[@Norovo]

It's a combination of assuming the MIDI is safer from copyright issues and assuming it's less distracting than the opera music. But I don't feel that strongly about it, so might try CD music in another series

[@siejac7894]

Hey does anyone know how to change unit stats in fheroes2?

[@Hmbs271]

This can currently only be done in the source code which then has to be compiled. Easily modifying this is part of the project's roadmap.

[@rahulbalakrishnan8760]

Hi Norovo, I am the same person as Age of Kings Heaven user John Mendl. If at all you still have The Conquerors Expansion 1.0C With UserPatch 1.4 (or any higher version), I invite you to play the latest scenario I released in AOK Heaven Blacksmith. It is named John Mendl 3. Into Swabia. (Not necesary to play John Mendl 1 and John Mendl 2 - they are available in Blacksmith since long ago if needed). John Mendl 3. Into Swabia has been designed with utmost quality of effort. It is a patiently planned, action-packed quest-filled adventure on a Large 8 Player Map. AoKH Blacksmith has a page for this scenario where description is given on what this scenario is about. There is a README in AoKH to guide with installation as it uses DAT Editing.

[@KyriosHeptagrammaton]

How do you even fight a horde of genies? Six 1 stacks of titans? Black dragons maybe?

[@Norovo]

Yeah, I guess one-stacks of Black Dragons and a powerful spellcaster would be ideal. Definitely a big challenge

[@timwhitman3207]

Hey Noro! I don't know if you've ever covered it on your channel, but would you be interested in playing some heroes 5 on the channel sometime?

[@Norovo]

I never really got into it but it gets requested a lot, so maybe one day
