Hello friends! I have been playing this game since before release and since I am a huge HOMM 3 fan I find it amazing. It's a fresh new take on the genre by people that know it well. Here are a couple of tips to win consistently on Impossible+ on most factions and heroes: -Spend the first few days massing up troops and building essential buildings - depending on the faction and build order (its random for each game) and ofcourse your hero's abilities. DO NOT pick a fight until round 3-4 or even 5 unless you feel extremely confident you will only suffer minor losses. You may want to get to tier 3 units or an upgraded tier 1 or 2, or build a mage's guild. Also, a first week build shoud definately be the Infirmary. Maybe before the first battle if you find it too hard. -Plan your battles with great care. First week battles are limited and there is always a very strict order you can follow. There will be 2 easy battles for the wood and ore mines, another for the Pillar (for the secret treasure, which you should hire a second hero to find and transfer to your main most of the time) and maybe a random creep guarding a small treasure. You Dont Have To Fight Every Day. Take on ONLY fights you can win decisively. -In battle you should always have an advantage. Stronger units, a good hero ability, a good spell. See what works for you. If you have none of these things, wait for better units but be warned that this sets you back against the AI. Unless you have a plan to capitalise and catch up it will not work to wait too long, although patience i and defence is key for many situations in this game. -During the first few turns where you are not fighting, use the time to explore and try to find XP chests with your hero. Prioritize skills that give you a combat advantage or free troops. Good examples include Mastery, Legion, Mercurial (its busted always take a beginner), Elementalism, Offence, Bloodlust ect. Learn which skills are good and focus on them with a side of support skills. Restart game if you suffer massive losses first week or just save scum. In general, try Might heroes first ( the top 3 ones on every faction). Magic is weaker/more complex/worse scaling. -Needless to say, learn the different abilities of the various units and the hero skills. This will take time but Its a fun game, enjoy playing it. Start on lower dificulties and work your way up. -By the second week aim to get your economy going. Upgrade your econ buildings, build an army to take on some more difficult battles (like mines) and towards the end tier 4-5 units if u can affort. -Again, if you find yourself losing battles, your build is not strong enough. This is a game where one lost battle means the game most of the time. Restart and try a different build until you find something that works for you. -An early capture of an enemy faction is a great advantage. If you feel strong enough to take them, go for it. Anyway, experiment and dont be afraid to restart if things go south. If you think of a build work on it until it just works. I may update this if it gets upvotes. Cheers.

[@illustriouschin]

This game was designed to be exploited. The developer is in league with Spiffing Brit. The first red flag is the OP tea house, the second is the unit dupe that was deliberately programmed in.

[@Knooper]

Yeah that glitch looks WAYYYY to simple to have been overlooked. I think it legit might have been deliberate.

[@robert.7230]

It's simpler than that, the dev spilled some tea on their pc as they made it making everything perfectly balanced

[@CaptainSweatpants90]

Honestly, this game feels like it was made specifically for Spiff. A relatively easy to find exploit that abuses the power of Tea to receive an endless army of Tea Knights. Perfection.

[@efnick96]

The fact that you can actually lose battles and big army's even if you are duplicating units really shows how hard and unforgiving this game can be when you play it without "intended by the developer" game mechanics

From what ive heard and experienced, people issue isn't necessarily that the game is too hard but that the ai is very unforgiving and prone to rushing your base with huge armies early on, even in the easiest modes. Once you get past that point, game kind of a joke honestly.

[@klorollenhalter6634]

@@poilboiler I have to give Hero's Hour credit for one thing, it artificially bumped the difficulty up to the point where 1 fight might not instantly win you the game. The infirmary, reinforcements, army deployment limit, and almost complete lack of control in battle make it to where there might be 2-4 important battles in a war rather than just 1.

[@erwinamanciosilva7693]

But that is exactly what the difficulty of a strategy game is, defeating the AI when single player, defeating other players on multiplayer, what kind difficulty were you expecting from such a kind of game?

[@deemonseed323]

The troop duplicator exploit does work however you must make sure to set combat speed to 1/2 for best results. It will not work at all at 2x speed and can actually cause you to lose troops instead of gaining them. Attempting this on any bodyguard units may result in all of them disappearing entirely for the rest of combat. My conclusion is that 1/2 speed is tea and 2x speed is coffee. Additionally this exploit can make it possible to sometimes lose a battle despite having thousands of duplicated troops in reserve - further testing required to find the exact circumstances. Edit: This works incredibly well with any unit that has retreat, with the upgrading through combat of the Horde faction, as well as any hero with the Healing skill; Tobruni and Erandu of the Horde are excellent at turning a pair of Harpies into a couple hundred permanent Furies in a single battle! I can't believe Sir Spiff noticed me, I feel so blessed! This is replacing the time I had dinner with The Queen as the greatest moment of my life! ^_^

Make sure that when you use this exploit you save before if you keep your armies to single entities... sometimes while duplicating if you're going fast, you can actually delete the units entirely. They won't show up to be deployed but it will show that they're still in the army. Also with the Decay faction's Malediction, Devour, and the Dark Ritual abilties... you can create an endless stream of dark horrors that are very very top tier busted.

The ai beat each other and I slowly saved up on resources. The pyre has a major spell that can spawn a real army of troops every 7 days, basically it is a suicide squad except it isn't weak at all, and u can use this with every hero. Soon enough, I have one hero that constantly changes unit into higher tier for free and has a lot of useful skill, his army is so strong that my other hero can literally not own an army and win any battle just using bodyguards and pyre portal because bodyguards scale with the difference to ur strongest army......

[@WarDaft]

So, Magic: The Gathering then. There's a meta game associated with M:TG, where people try to figure out how much non-infinite damage you can deal on turn one - that is, the deck has a fixed but large turn one damage potential that is not dependant on player choice. *Graham's Number* has long since been exceeded.

Spiff read the Art of War, laughed, dunked it in his Yorkshire, and mailed it back to Sun Tzu.

[@dab_u7185]

The Video was essentially over after 5 minutes, but the other 24 minutes were also really fun to watch.

[@blackbloom8552]

Thats kind of how the game goes in general.

[@AsunaMayu]

I need to see a The Civil Engineer and The Spiffing Brit to collab and go against each other in one of these games. Engineer vs Exploiter

[@barsni4779]

Oh my god, item dupers in strategy games is the most hilarious thing.

[@benweir9857]

Well that's one scary way to win, but also thanks spiff, the new years livestream questions I asked have now properly taken seed, and will soon bloom into either some Yorkshire tea worthy leaves or wither away love the vids

[@roberth.4009]

Looking at my coffee that I'm drinking while watching Spiff re-create reality around him just with the power of tea....and i feel sadness 😔

[@pyrokar1990]

as you should *glares at your coffee with an unsettling amount of disrespect*

Always love watching you break it. Even tho sometimes they do fix it...

thanks to "human duplication strategies" we now have an outstanding military

How much Yorkshire Tea did you have before trying?

[@andrewwalker5138]

Spiff once again demonstrating his power over the mortals. Excellent😁

already patched, he wasnt running the newest version

[@lycanapollyon6681]

Believe or not you can dupe bodyguards but you risk deleting them from existence if you mess up and they are much more troublesome duping

[@Snipergod1024]

You know something? I always have a religious experience watching Spiff. He always finds a Profit in a video. :D

[@1uca_]

For extra immersion I like to boil a kettle in the background while watching any of the Spiffing Brit’s videos

[@SwordTune]

Spiff: too difficult? Spiff after drinking the GDP of a small country in tea: not difficult enough!

[@susu5331]

And now I'm curious to see how the developers beat their game at this difficulty without exploits (unless they didn't)

[@nnyz3819]

Everyone: “This game is impossible” Spiff: “Hold my Yorkshire Gold”

[@blazingboar8007]

personally my favorite blend of tea is my "Special Blend". tastes absolutely delicious, and goes great with the screams of the coffee loving peasants in the torture dungeon downstairs.

[@activeentropy]

So that's why i seemed to get more troops out of no where, never bothered to really think about it. That's an interesting exploit.

[@WhatWillYouFind]

doesnt work on newest patch, which was released weeks ago "beta branch"

[@Grayson.P]

Yall need to give Peglin a go once it is released. I mean a pegged like shooter with powerups, the "ability" to save-scum, and a whole lot of synergies to experiment with. Sure it may not get a very long series but definitely a handful of episodes of "perfectly balanced" gaming can be achieved with it.

[@James68W]

"I call this... mitosis!" "Oh god it's a dupe exploit" 😂

[@SoulFoxie]

"We have to fight otherwise we're never gonna survive" ~ Spiff If that quote was in any other context it'd make sense, but since it's in the context of a literally impossible scenario aside from the exploits he's using it does not

[@leadpaintchips9461]

Luckily they already patched out the people cloning, so we can't duplicate your people duplication. Edit: The murcurial unit is absolutely busted. Ood, the unaligned hero centered around them I do think is the strongest hero in the game by a long shot.

[@SgtRock-et7zl]

Note, they did *Not* patch the cloning as of me posting this message.

[@andrewwilson9223]

i dont think so, i just tried it and it worked fine for 1/2 speed land battles where im the attacker. boat battles and defensive battles dont work tho

I want to see LGIO vs. Spiffing. I wonder what will happen when unending determination meets the final boss of exploiters.

16:40 "...the end of the Green Empire and the rise of the Tea boys..." had me rollin' holding my stomach and trying to survive the laugh-onslaught. Idk how that phrase ticked me so much but thanks for the laughs, my dear dear person.

[@erikhirschfelt5066]

Yeah so can you tell me the "pillar of balance" and "tea knight" are not seriously shameless fan service to Spiff? ;-)

[@intecrisis]

I would love if this was made into a series, I would love to see how you exploit your way through stalker misery or something

[@seankuhn6633]

Create a game that also has so many powerful exploits, and they balance each other, that it is essentially a secret other game too! Also how have you not designed a game! Or a radio show you Voice. Be well.

[@daeliusdrake7810]

I have learned much from the spiff lord, I have completely destroyed a game today with absolute power, my army grew so strong the game refused to continue existence.
