I absolutely love your content, you do a wonderful job talking through your thoughts and plays and it makes the viewing experience 1000% better.

[@skillaxxx]

Yes, I absolutely second that, much appreciated 👍

[@joshbrigham942]

Why not 2000%? Or better still 1000000%? I guess that's rather irrational though. I mean who is really 1000000% good? Honestly? I would arrive at around 250% thinking about it because I'd say he's about 1 and a half better than most.

[@Magnus2dead]

It makes my day seeing your HOMM content popping into my feed! Loving the plays as I learn from them and am in awe on how you figure these things out

[@backflipmann]

That "Ok guys we're back in the game" moment after finding the Town Portal spell 👌

[@Raziel_J]

Loving the series so far, definitely one of my favorites!! Oddly enough, I started playing this map after watching your videos as the red player (my main town was your blue coven town) and instead of getting an scroll + boots of levitation, I got the Tome of Earth Magic. Crazy! And of course, it made my game much easier at the beginning XD.

[@dyabolyk3000]

Best series yet :D Can't wait for next one

[@canislupid2466]

I found you through this Maelstrom playthrough a few days ago and I've got to say, this is tempting me to play HoMaM3 all over again. I had no idea it even has a modded expansion.

[@christobruun6510]

Where is the new episode?😞 I've been watching every Sunday so far

[@OXhuls]

Currently having a visit but I can’t wait to watch this before going to sleep. Thank you so so so so much!!!!!

[@marten2522]

loving all the uploads lately keep it up ❤❤❤

[@swedishempire1298]

11:18 You can only get your spell points back from a well once per turn.

[@Norovo]

I always forget that...

[@KyriosHeptagrammaton]

Wait what?

[@jakubmalinowski1474]

Azure gets 1254hp with elixir of life, because set bonus includes all artifacts bonuses as well (vial +2, rings +1 +1).

[@Eisenwulf666]

When i saw the notification i cried "yeaah baby" in an Austin Powers voice, no cap! Still struggling a bit with this scenario,ngl

[@Kalipp0]

Never played the game, but I enjoy watching and listening to you!

[@somakarpati9847]

Congratulations for 20k subs! Keep up the good work!

[@d347hm4n]

Double norovo in one day, Sundays are the gift that keep on giving

[@PatrickMurray-patmur2010]

Great episode

[@yes6799]

hey out of curiosity, why not just go ham on the dwarves at 30:30 ? Im sure you could finish off the 60 dwarves with a turn on all your stacks

[@un1kum42]

Beim ersten Kampf hast du ja mal richtig Glück gehabt, dass er nicht deinen letzten Stack auch noch geblindet hat, sodass du gar keinen Zug mehr gehabt hättest.

[@MrZebub]

Can't get over how much Spint looks like Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) from Deadwood.

[@Maverick734]

Great start! That troll fight with use of spells and timing along with Jaeger fight were a bit painful to watch lol. Town Portal is huge, GG i think. Will have some good fights coming up, looking forward to the next episode! Do you have a video showing your hot keys? moving all but one stack up into towns and stuff like that? I've worked out a few of them but a summary or list of all you use would be great!

[@Norovo]

I think they are listed on the HD mod website, I still haven't learned them all. But various combinations of Ctrl, Alt and Shift are great for army management and worth getting used to. The one you mentioned is when you hold all three at once and left click

[@Maverick734]

@@Norovo Great I’ll check out the website, thanks!

[@Iearnwithme]

next ep?

[@DriantX]

Amazing episode with its ups and downs. Still curious what you have to say about the gladius, did you just forget to pick it up last episode, or something else?

[@redX111t]

This map is so exciting, lots of stuff

[@ceruleanblue2161]

I have absolutely no idea what this game is but I'm loving the content!! really fun to try and figure out what's going on; looks deep. very intriguing game.

[@Norovo]

It's worth a go I think :) - often on sale for pennies on GOG. You don't need to understand advanced strats, easy difficulty is fairly generous and good for beginners.

[@Simonk_6]

The op necromancy artifact is hevily nerfed in hota

[@PatrickMurray-patmur2010]

Don't know how you kept your vampire lords alive in that fight! Wow

[@liuyusi125]

Whenever take a town, should step in anyway? Killing me not doing that .,,…

[@sparey4431]

We “Conspiracy Theorists” be like, “I know that map...” 😂

[@ahmadabughazaleh0]

11:10 Now he is a cool hero no one will run away or even kill his army , even with weak army but destroy other gigantic armis with spells and rust dragon and wisdom . 16:15 HEHEHE , so it not only players who steal enemies best heroes after they defeat them , Red got that Lizard you defeat in Necropolis town after you captured all their towns . 18:10 Like the animation of shooting Gogs its that from HOA mod only ? 20:10 No problem just wait until he runs and catch him , three birds in one rock or he will run because he will be afraid of you , hmmm ... in my opinion i will let him there . 36:50 Is it me or he resist cove mage guilds , are they very bad ?

[@justdracir8197]

Hly shit. How much can this little army take on o.O

[@TheSpinlippy]

Return of Galthran the Undead King? Needs to find his Dead Man's Air Jordans

[@perskarva123]

Aaahh yess..:D

[@micha6589]

You should keep those hands of movement at the beginning of each turn, then create the elixir of life, I think

[@Ninde.88]

Perdona, hay atajo del teclado para dividir unidades?

[@bojanban5552]

Hey, curious as to why not just spawn one stack of earth elementals against Adelaide in the first battle? It would get the job done a lot faster. It just seemed like an unnecessary hastle to just keep ressurecting other troops.

[@immanuelnicholls8347]

Has Cloak of the Undead King ever come in clutch, or is the game always decided by the time it is assembled (is it really OP or is it so hard to get that it is irrelevant by the time u get it)?

[@MirecBorec]

Please make some new video about songs of conquest

[@rapierwhip]

Try a recent map called Famine on map4 heroes.

[@sonofEU]

Why did you let Sylvia to flee?

[@betweentwohorizons]

👍👍

[@tangomilano4503]

Do you like any other Heroes game aside from 3?

[@Norovo]

Love Heroes 2, it's the one I grew up with

[@andrej_urod_iljic]

Protection from water b like "WOYOYOYOYOOOO"

[@Norovo]

Haha true

[@markdowse3572]

THE ELIXIR OF LIFE. I have never seen it, sir. What do its components' effects do, please? 🤔 The RING OF OBLIVION I also don't recall ever seeing. But I don't play as much HoMM as I could or should. Nasty surprise for any Necro! 😲 M 🦘🏏😎

[@Raziel_J]

Here you go, copied from the wiki: "In addition to the regular bonuses from combined artifacts, the Elixir of Life increases basic health of all living creatures by 25% (rounded down) and gives them a regeneration ability (regenerate maximum 50 points of health)". Regarding the Ring of Oblivion, is an artifact brought by the Hota expansion.
