1 minor issue from me - Dungeon's portal of summoning is not reproducible. Even if I save the game right before building it, it will choose randomly on each load of the saved game.

Not sure if it's random with load/save, but even in that situation there are ways the battle against the randomness. I suggest watching the video made by Xenofex.


Referring to the video, maybe HotA/HD mod could add a dialogue to choose which of the two heroes "inside" a town will be granted the Mana Vortex bonus.

Yes please and an option to actually choose when you want to use it.

HotA crashes during start from a launcher. No window appears. Need to kill app via program manager. I'm using Gog version of HoMM, fresh installation. Vanilla H3 works without a problem.
Any ideas?

Not a critical bug, but for some reason you cannot search for "Altar of Sacrifice" in the hota map editor:

pathfinding bug

I found that pathfinding is not working as intended.
Expert pathfinding says: "Reduces the movement penalty by 75% for rough terrain".
But it takes 100 points on snow terrain (and simple ground too).
Same cost for hero without expert pathfinding.
But
If hero without PF have some Cyclop or Vyvern (which is not snow creature) in hes army, then it cost 150 points for him.
100 points it cost when he have only Gargoyle, for example.
When hero with PF and with Cyclop have still 100 points cost (so PF somehow works but not completely).
Hero with PF and hero w/o PF - both having Gargoyle, have the same 100 points movement cost on the snow.

Also same thing for the "green boots" (Wayfarer's boots) - they should totally removes penalty for movement, but they gives NO effect on movement points at all.

Is 100 points is minimal cost for movement?
No. The road takes only 50. And "green boots" should do the same.
If rough terrain cost 100 points then where is this "removes penalty for movement" ?

PS: I have last version of HotA.

Iona bug

Another bug i found: Iona (a hero with specialty "Genies") should give Genies +1 movement speed, also attack and defense skill +5%, for every 5 levels.
But it gives only attack/defense, and speed is always +1.
Even at level 26 genies in Iona army have 11(12) speed.

These are not bugs, that's how it is intended to work.

Base move cost is 100 for vertical/horizontal step and 141 for diagonal step. Some terrains add a penalty to these costs increasing it by 25/50/75% if at least one of your troop is not native to it. With Pathfinding you are able to negate this penalty, so you can travel across the rough terrain at base move cost. And roads allow you to travel on them at 75/65/50% of base movement cost.

Speed is always increased only by 1 point for such scaling creature specialties. It is not affected by hero level.

Actualy "rough terrain" - is everything that is not a road.
So when you stepping off from the road you on the rough terrain and it cost you double points - which is a penalty itself.
So when you say "without penalty" - it should be 50 on any rough terrain, as on road.
Or description should be fixed cause it's wrong.

No, Mortarial is right, there are no Pathfinding bugs.
Rough terrains refers to Swamp, Snow, Sand, Rough and Wasteland. Every other terrain will have normal movement and roads gives a bonus percentage.

Road is just a bonus which allows you to move further than you could move without it. Do not confuse it for base movement cost, and base movement cost on rough terrain for penalty.

ok that helps... to understand the magic world of Heroes...
Dirt, Lava, Subterranean - in real world it's a "rough terrain", since there's hills, hollows, rivers, etc.
But thanks, I know how it works now.

Backpack Bug

HOTA bug happened when one of my heroes already had a full backpack. I kept dropping more items in his backpack from another hero. The game didn't warn that backback was full and let the additional artifacts to be dropped in the full backpack. Those artifacts got lost. I recorded it with my phone in a short video - message me if you wish to see it.

hota version: not sure how to check but I always let auto update to run. So it must be recent version.

My partner was playing today on a map with a lot of the same two-way monolith and was using spacebar to cycle through the various monoliths, as normal. However, at some point a few hours into her play session, the spacebar suddenly stopped working -- not just for monoliths, but for things like towns as well. The spacebar worked fine in other applications, so it was just a H3/HotA-related bug. She had to move her hero off the monolith and back on, which cost valuable movement points. I couldn't find any other reports of the spacebar suddenly ceasing to function in H3. I figured I would report it here.

I never knew until now that Expert Pathfinding is only ever useful for Swamp, i thought the bonus was proportional to all terrain type pentalties.

On the other hand, I did always think that Pathdinding sort of sucks, so oh well.

PS: Lava not having penalty is a huge miss, I reckon none of the developers tried to walk on volcanic ashes. i did.

Bug on mission Frontier

Hey,

first of all (first post here) thanks a lot for the game, it is really a great continuation and I like it

Unfortunately I am unable to progress now, because on the mission Frontier the grail is hidden under a sawmill and my heroes refuse to dig under it ...

I used a cheat to reveal the grail position after being quite frustrated about not being able to find it (see all the digging)

Is there any way to get on with the campaign without replaying the mission (which I really would not like to do) or cheat to win the scenario (which would make me cheater ...)?
I could provide a savegame if it helps.

Grail position

@Cholli123

I don't think there's a "legal" way to get the Grail in this case, because the game is bugged. If you want somewhat of a legitimate win, you can use memory editing to change the coordinates of the Grail (as well as save editing to give a Grail to your hero, but this feels more cheaty).

If you wish to do this, feel free to PM me.

Okay I don't know if this has anything to do with HD Mod or HotA, but there are apparantly still some water related bugs, that makes the game crash.
It seems to be when AI uses whirlpools or the water version of the White Two Sea Way Portal. (HotA object.)

It's quite critical, since the game keeps crashing, when I reload the file.

I have Lord Haart having 198 movement points left.
UI shows that to pick up resource (1 cell down) will cost 100 movement points (98 left). And to get into the castle - diagonal (North-West 70 movement points, 128 will remain). When I pick up the resource, somehow I end up with 0 movement points left.., what am I missing?
