How did you add those 'camera' movements?
Also some notes:
1) Sorgal didn't cast any spell lol Was he out of mana because of Familiars?
2) Horned Grunts can leap over town walls  didn't know that.
3) Did I see the useless Soul Fire in action?

Didn't you know Asheera?! I'm surprised! ok so find this after u have a replay: Options ---> Replay ---> Movie Maker. (It seems it's what the best I can do when it comes to cameras on HoMM5.)
1. Yeah, my little brother kept getting frustrated with this. He didn't know why his mana ran out so fast.(He doesn't know how to read yet)
2. What!? You didn't know? What am I coming to? ......Is this a joke?
3. Well, I guess I turned the whole battle with my little brother into another replay that seemed to me very cool to make into a movie.
After he lost he went to his room and through one of his books at me.(Like usual, the temper tantrum ensues)

I tried that Movie Maker a long time ago but for some reason after I saved the replay it was still the same. Maybe I did something wrong though...
And about the Horned Grunts... I never had a siege with Inferno yet so I couldn't possibly know that they can jump over walls (it isn't written anywhere either)

1 Correction and a few things i find useful about Inferno and my favourite heroes from 1st to 3rd.
Correction:I had vermin so that i can take Sorgal's mana and feed my sweet----uh i mean strong and merciless pit lords. (I always use these thieving miscreants if i have pit lords.Ha, before my brother could cast any empowered spells on me, I drained his mana and gave it to my pit lords.My hero had enough mana anyway.)
Useful: Not good with defense but good at offence and speed....i prefer to strike first and crush my enemy before he/she can siege my inferno castle.
Useful: Gating, i always try to find a Pendant of mastery and try to get Urgash's Call.(pain in the butt)
Useful: Heaps of the demons have the capabilities of a great strike army. I mean that horned grunts are more useful than overseers in sieges.(Unless i gate them in the middle of a clumped up force,which is unlikely unless the enemy is stupid)
My favourite heroes of Inferno:
(Non-Campaign Related)
1st Place: Jezebeth
I like Jezebeths specialization and starting ability of sorcery.(And no, not because i think succubi are hot.) It's a shame they changed her succubus hero skin a hidious demon lord skin
2nd Place: Nymus
Yes i i like his specialization, thats all.Moving on.
3rd Place: Marbas
......I just like him because he is useful for defending my town.
Ok that is it.Thank you for reading my "awfully" long post.

Quick post before i edit.It drives me mad.
The movie maker was easy to use. I didn't understand it the first time but got used to and loved it.
The turns of the creatures and heroes are the base of your filming. How long it takes for a creature or a group of turns to finish their turn determine how slow or fast the camera goes.
Did you see how when a creature finished its turn, the camera started moving again?
The first camera/waypoint is where the camera starts moving towards where you placed the second waypoint. So if i placed the first waypoint looking over the battlefield then place waypoint NO. 2 looking towards the enemy, then when the battle starts, the waypoint will move slowly or fast towards the 2nd waypoint, depending how long it takes the creature with it's first turn to make it's move.
1st Example: Archdevil has the first turn of battle. As he moves, the camera will move fast towards the second waypoint. Because practically the devils teleport.
You don't have to make the camera jump around the field each turn. You can skip turns of camera.
You can also extend the time of the camera moving by going to turn number 2 and place the 2nd waypoint. (Speed will be affected by the speed both of the turns ending.)
2nd Example: Turn 1 is Familiar, he moves somewere far on the field. Turn 2 is Succubus Seducer, who seduces a pitlord. These two turns will extend the time it takes to move to next waypoint than just 1 measly turn.
I will explain more if you understand what i have said.(My post is too long)
But no doubt you won't need my help. You will understand more with the help I have given you. Hope i helped!
Note: I onced saved an edited replay from the original and deleted the original and my edited one dissapeared for a reason. It's probably just me.

Yes I understand how it works thanks 
But what I meant in my previous post is that after I edited those cameras and waypoints and saved the replay again, it was still without cameras when I loaded it... maybe I did something wrong though.

this might be irrelevant but i hope it helps. 
I did this:
Save Duel Replay: Duel 1
Edited Replay
Saved as: Anwen vs Jezebeth
I don't know. Maybe this won't help. At least i try.
I can imagine another disscussion board.
Oracle: I can see.... i can see... i can see the bottem of my coffee mug.
Imagine another disscussion board all about replays.Movie Dungeons sounds like a good name. The lights! The cameras! The threads!

Oh sry got off track of this topic!

The wonder of Last Stand
Nothing fancy, just a simple demonstration of Last Stand:
http://www.speedyshare.com/693263766.html
I used to look down on this perk. I always thought what can a single stack of creature do with 1 remaining HP? Creeping, final battle, you name it, all seemed less interesting. Well now I see... It's not the 1 HP that counts, but the stubbornness of standing there that matters
This was taken from Walking Dead. "Ah yes, that's Vittorio with his triple flamming ballista." Well true, other knights would have also been able to defeat Aglix, the enemy hero, but it's not just a matter of winning the battle. It has to also be done with minimum casualties, for Aglix will respawn after this round. You don't have to engage him the next time, not before burning the key artifact, Skull of Markal. But even then he'll respawn with more reinforcements, 5k of skellies, 320 archliches, 200+ wraiths... Note also that the dumb AI marked "Deadly" for this fight (not the above final fight).
So I don't see any other way outside the uses of this perk, Vittorio or else. Those who have tried this map with different strategy are welcomed for comments.
Btw, if you wonder why I used undead and elementals playing Haven, I guess it's obvious: to avoid Puppet Master.

That went good  I would have focused more on the walkers after that killer shot on the liches just to be sure there will be no opening. Reminds me the flaming arrows imbalance before tote was patched, now ballista only ignores half of defense than all of it

Thx mate!
Ah, the patch! I think it's a good idea having flaming arrows's nerfed. Reminds me the old time before I joined HC, I used to ignore certain skills such as war machines, enlightenment, sorcery...
Maybe there are still many perks I need to learn to appreciate

A couple of interesting replays with Rubycus from last night. Unfortunately both were subject to disconnection before the end but they had enough time to unfold. I'm positive about the dwarven game but the necro one was a bit uncertain. One one hand he had phantom forces and positive luck, on the other I had fireball with sorcery and my remaining units were hasted with endurance. I guess that depends on whether the vamps would fail at torpor and the skelies at bashing but that was kinda unlikely. Anyways destructive with mass haste/endurance was fun to try  However I'm pretty sure Rubycus could have won this had he played better, I know that Sq or Towerlord would have. Though I'd have gone dark vs them
About the haven one certain mistakes were made from haven's side. Champions could not charge, crossbows could be reached by firebreath, used dark vs fortress, training priests that could be neutralized by deflect missile, no retribution.
Btw Ruby seems to like waiting a lot

I admit I was lucky though, nice atb, icicle, circle in shrine and of course very favourable placement.

Great even 7sp Sylvan can kill off haven... Well setupped or well trappedQuote:

This is a duel right? Wonder what all the win/loss stats are for sylvan vs each of the other races -> Seriously, is there any game where haven woops sylvan where sylvan is played without mistakes?
[how about only max 2 (or 1) creatures can be favoured to prevent this sort of thing (which can more likely happen with swift mind?)]...heck I even thought haven was winning in beginning which shows how much I know / don't know
