Now people why not to discuss HOMM4 diplomacy? I'm imporessed much with "sharm" ability. Has someone used diplomacy in the game and how does it work?

Diplomacy and Charm in HoMM 4
realy SUCK
realy UNusefull
I have a hero who has both skill and when i get into battle
sometime it gives me a choice
or do i want the charmed creatures ?
or do i want the diplomatized creatures ?
But its never the whole stack its always a meager few
And maybe its a bug,
but when i get the choice it shows me some pictures of what creatures i get and how many, but when i made the choice, im not getting the amounts i just saw on the choice screen.
And usualy you get a few creatures wich dont fit in youre army anyway, or the stack is too small to replace a stack in my own army

then dont take them on team but put them on ground besides yuor army... when you enter fight and creatures are willing to join... you accept.. and once again you see 2 rows to put creatures on... leaving them on upper row... you will enter fight without them and joined creatures will stand next to hero after fight!!!
all i know..

Well, I keep them anyway, you never know when they might come in useful for wasting retaliation or as punchong bags.
Or if you are necropolis, just throw the whole lot of them into the undead transformer and you can get a host of skeletons and ghosts

i use the joiners
they are useful to garrison mines and possibly add to my troops. some i send to nearest castle or bring along for fodder in my next battle. also i use them to pick up stuff that was guarded by the group they came from, hand it to my hero if arts and not waste his movement doin these things or having to split off some of his troops pick up.

I'm glad you managed to continue my topic. It seems to be very rare - Zud and Titan_888 joined to the discussion! Welcome, veterans! And after Zud's words I insist that diplomacy is alive in Heroes 4. More replies please...

Yesterday I played HoMM4 and had 2 heroes, one with charm and the other with diplomacy...
Sometimes i got to choose, and diplomacy got me more joiners (but I had to pay...).
With charm you don't even have to pay enemies to join you, and I could have 50 Medusas without even producing them, only by carrying them around with me (I love medusas  ), and stacking more and more.
The only "problem" is that you'll have a lot of troops you don't use, and you have to move them somewhere, and it takes time

Thanks DElyMyth for your reply. And I must confess that now we have two choices, we have to choose between charm and diplomacy. And what we called diplomacy in HOMM3 now is divided to "diplomacy when we have to pay" and "diplomacy when we don't have to pay" called charm. I mean that in HOMM3 we could get joiners for free or not, depending on our fortune in game, so now we have two different skills we can choose between. I mean that now we have to choose which skill to upgrade - to join troops for free and get a few joiners or to pay but get more joiners. Unfortunately, charm is a magical ability and can be easily get only by magic hero(order) and diplomacy now is a might ability which can be easily get only by might hero (order again). Any hero can get both charm and diplomacy, but it's a rare chance for non-order heroes to get them, needless to speak about getting them both.
Please post here your opinions about HOMM4 diplomacy.

Yes it's a great skill but on some smaller maps and depending on the spread of troops ,sometimes it doesn't work out to a great advantage .

Kenpofourth, you're undoubtedly right. You found out another thing we must take to consideration, thank you. This is another side of new diplomatic sharm we got. Both diplomacy and sharm worth much only on large maps, besides it requires for hero to be level 10 or more skilled to learn them seriousely. But still a great plus as you said.
I'll be appretiated if someone post here more.
