I'm new to the game - questions
Hi all,
I just got Heroes of Might and Magic 3 for my birthday (15$, excellent deal in my opinion). I've tried all the towns, I hate the Castle but other then that I like them all. I have taken to playing the Tower, with Teodrus (or whatever hero has a bonus with Magi and Archmagi) as main hero. I've noticed some things and want clarification on them:
1. Gargoyles suck, no matter how I use them. The only thing I haven't tried is Haste-ing them and making them kill ranged attackers - is that what I'm supposed to do?
2. Whenever I have over a hundred Master Gremlins, they are always the focus of attacks by the computer! No matter what else I do, the enemy runs over to the gremlins and hacks them apart, killing 10-20 at a time. How do I prevent this?
3. Master Genies seem to "run out" of spells eventually - this is on purpose, right? And once they have no more spells, what do I do with them?
4.(this is unrelated to the Tower) Where could I find the expansion to the game (Armageddon's Blade, I think it is)?

Yup.

Bring your golems up as a shield/defense force

Eventually, but usually the battle should be over before then if you're doing it right.
If that's not the case, get them over to hassle enemy archers.

E-bay's usually a good place to look.

Thanks for that info, I'll remember it.
Another question; everywhere I see mention of an armageddon spell. This is only in Armageddon's Blade, right?
And is there a complete list of spells somewhere?

This spell exist since Homm3, Restoration of Erathia. Itīs a firespell Level4.
The whole spells are listed in the heroes3.hlp file.
About that genie-spell thingie.....Mastergenies only have THREE spells per battle...
About your Mastergremlins problem......in 90% of all cases, the computer will try to destroy your range-units.
To prevent that, u can make some stacks of 1 gargoyle and fly it towards the enemy as "fodder". The computer will attack them, when he is near enough, so u will have more time to shoot with the mastergremlins...

Ah, a spell in the original? Who has access to it? The only big spells I've ever seen that deal damage are Implode, Inferno and Chain Lightning - though I'm starting to think that some level-5 spells are random. Once in my Tower I had summon Water elemental and summon air elemental; the next time I had Implode and Fly.
And I can't find Armageddon's Blade ANYWHERE except Amazon.com - and even there it's "out of stock."

Sure the spells in your mageguilds are random...
You only have 2 slots for level5 spells, but there do exist some more (Fly, Dimension Door, Implosion, MagicMirror, Sacrifice, Summon water, air, earth, and fire-elementals)
Same goes for Level4 spells...u have 3 slots in tower mageguild, but there are much more (townportal, resurrection, slayer, berzerk, armageddon, chainlightning, clone, fireshield, frenzy, inferno, sorrow, meteorshower, counterstrike, prayer, waterwalk)

Yeah Anselito forgot to mention that some towns have more chance of geting certian spells than other.
If you want armagedon try playing with Inferno or dungenon.

AB campaigns and random map generator are also included in H3 Complete, so look for that as well.

In H3 Complete, is there also the Conflux and everything else that comes in the expansion? (I have managed to find the Complete, but what interests me the most in AB is the Conflux as well as the random map generator).
