That's a shame.

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

Do they still have their strats posted?

Looks like most of it for Homm2 is there, I did not check the others.

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

A score is 20, so scores can be any multiple of 20. Here they mean up to 100. So no more than 5 score of a given unit.

HOMM4 was teh suXX0rz. The AI was wussy, and too many items were available.

It had problems, but not worthless.

I'll have to pull all that off soon.

Shame if the site vanished, and everything that was there vanished.

I've never played HOMM 4.

It's one of the things I want to try once I'm working full time and my bill are all paid.

I loved a swarm of Black Dragons.

Why have a swarm when you can have a "hundreds of Black Dragons"

[vmxa1]

Just a preference, ten's, hundred's seems mundane.

[DarkCloud]

and Heroes is anything but mundane- it's a FANTASY game it's supposed to be FANTASTIC!

in a HOMM2 scenario, I left a stack alone for too long and ended up with a LEGION of Black Dragons. I couldn't figure out how to deal with them.

on a large HOMM3 map, I did something similar and ended up facing a Legion of Angels. I eventually discovered they would never get larger than 667 per stack and no more than 6 stacks, so it was possible to build up a force capable of taking them on.

If it hadn't been such a large map, I wouldn't have tried it, but I did manage.

I remember one Homm2 map that had a stack of about 99 black dragons, but a bunch of them joined me. I remember how scary it looked.

I also remember a map that had over 2000 titans and I used the clone spell to help me defeat them. I really enjoyed that battle and still vaguely recall after all these years.

I still play Homm2 and III once in a while. Both work inXP just fine.

I used to play Heroes 2 MP a lot. And I loved it!

It would be nice to give it a try again. Any takers?

What kind of army did you have if 99 black dragons offered to join

[vmxa1]

I know I had some black dragons and probably lots Mino Kings and mayse Hydras. I don't know the number, but I was maxed in Diplomacy.

I seem to recall that I probably could have held my own, but glad to not have to do it.

I think a smaller stack of Black dragons had joined me before that encounter, but it has been many years.

I should start playing all the maps over to find it. I think it was a map not a campaign. It was part of the game, but I am not sure it it came with the Price of Loyalty or what.

I still remember where I found them.

There isn't a lot you can do because of their magic immunity, except get a huge number of some huge creature and use supporting magic. Also bring in a field marshal- type hero. Be prepared to have to whittle them down in severa; battles and keep at it!

Any other foe can be brought down with black dragons and an Armegeddon spell.

I looked through (quickly) the maps in my gold version and did not see anything that looked like it.

I read about a map called Heat that sould like it could be it, but it is not in my maps list.

BTW it looks like Portals Of Might and Magic has got a lot of the old Astral pages.

Now I am wondering what the map was called. At the time I played it, I was not on the net. I wonder if the map was not part of the gold version?

If anyone has the map called heat please attach it here, it shouldbe quite small.

just to let you guys know, I'm playing a HOMM3 extra large map, and have a few Legions of red and black dragons in one corner (been playing for 13 month of game time), but I think I can take them on.

I'll post a savegame of being about to do it when I am ready
