Heroes 4 groups

[Father Beast]

can anyone tell me, or link to someplace that tells me what the monster groups are in Heroes 4. They are different than in HOMM 1-3. For example, I think a group of 10 - 19 is no longer called a "pack", but a "band".

I thought it was in the manual, but I was mistaken.

It has been too long since I played to remember, try this site:

Astral Wizard should still be good.

[vmxa1]

No it has been abandoned. They never took up Homm4 and their old maps are on others sites now.

[DarkCloud]

Astral Wizard's gone... as is H3trio.

If there is anything in particular you wanted from the sites, I might be able to provide. (I saved a lot of their sites data before they went offline )

[Father Beast]

Thanks vmxa, but I looked over that site without finding the info.

I can't seem to recall where I found the info in the first place. Maybe I was sneaking a look at a hint book....

This can be retrieved by making a map and placing a hero near a group of monsters numbering say 11, then numbering 21 and so on until you gat all the names for different groups of monsters.

I could not find it in the strat guide either.

OK, Good idea. Took some work, though....

for future reference, I think the groups are as follows:

1-5: Few
6-10: Several
11-20: Band
21-50: Dozens
51-100: Scores
101-250: Company
251-500: Hundreds
501-1000: Host
1001-2000: Legion
2001+ : Thousands

I kind of miss the old horde, throng, pack, and swarm, but I've thought for a long time we needed somthing better than "zounds". Host is a good replacement.

[vmxa1]

Really it is the same as Homm2, except they have a name for over 2000 units.

Some names have changed, but the values are the same. I agree, I never cared for zounds. I don't see any need for "thousands" as Legion was good enough.

Anyway good job.

[DarkCloud]

Hundreds and Thousands sound idiotic

Zounds or Horde would sound much, much better.

I think they lost the 'feel' of the game by using those names.

[vmxa1]

I would think it is not a good idea to change something in a franchise, just to change it. It will not endear you to the fans. I would have dropped zounds and used something else, but the rest was fine.

That's a shame.

I found that site, after I had played HOMM for quite some time.

Do they still have their strats posted?

1-5: Few
6-10: Several
11-20: Band
21-50: Dozens
51-100: Scores
101-250: Company
251-500: Hundreds
501-1000: Host
1001-2000: Legion
2001+ : Thousands

Host is a good name...

However, Dozens, Hundreds and Thousands are pathetic.

Surely they can come up with better names?

How about patrols, clans, and to resurrect swarms?

I loved a swarm of Black Dragons.

[Traianvs]

throng
horde
SWARM
Zounds sound cool but I don't have the slightest clue what it means

and of course a legion:

homm3 kicked ass

ps: i don't understand scores
