Kings Bounty,anyone?
I'm just wonderin,with Homm4 already out,is there still anyone playing KB?I am
I visited a webpage about KB and saw some people had posted scores there,the better ones were about 50,000pts,playn on impossible difficulty and Sorceress hero!
The most I've got is about 6,300 with Paladin!
My brother however got ~23,000 with Barbarian!
I would like to know,if there is someone who remembers the game or stills plays it,can you please tell me,how is it possible to reach final level and make 50,000 points in 200days!

Its not that hard.As soon as you get to go to the 4th continent,dismiss all your troops or put them in a castle garrison and then go find yourself some flying troops.
If your army is made up of only flying troops,your hero can fly!Then you can just go around and pick up stuff you wouldnt get without a fight normally.
With your army made of vamps,demons,dragons and archmages,you can get back to capturing villians.
And BTW,you don't have to catch all villians and artefacts,if you figure out what the place is on the puzzle map,you can just pick it up and you've won.

Well,you could try http://www.zone.ee/kingsbounty/download/download.html
The page is an unoficial site,it should be english and besides downloading,you should also get information and stuff about the game.
The size of the game is about 655Kb.
It works only with DOS I think.

Alternate site
The site I downloaded it from was http://www.the-underdogs.org then all you have to do is click in the game title search field and type in Kings Bounty.

Where do you get flying troops? I searched everywhere (nearly), but without luck. Anyway, I only had 3 or 4 pieces of the puzzle to go. I found a place which looks exactly like the revealed pieces, dug everywhere, and ended up running out of time. $h!T.

Well,flying troops are almost all around the 4th continent.
Visit the link I posted earlier,there u find a map of all the continents.The 4th continent is a mountain surrounded by a desert.In the mountains sides,there are openings where dwellings may be.If u find vampires,archmages,devils or dragons,dismiss other troops and press "F" to fly and "L" to land for picking up stuff.
If u have only 3-4 pieces of the puzzle map,don't bother looking for the sceptre,a lot of places look alike in all the continents,u'll have no luck!

My strategy
When I play kb I play whit the knight.
In the beginning i never buy castle army,beacause i is to expensive.always capture 2 first villans and the start to find the passege to the forestria there are some elves and trolls.i never buy dwarfs or gnomes.Then you can capture all the villans in continental.In the forestria it`s easy to find the passage to the third stage.And the Third stage has a treasure island.there must be the passage to sahara.and in sahara,never buy giants and demons they are the most expensive units in the game.The archmages are the most rare units in the game,they`re pretty weak.And if you have about 75vampires and 6dragons the you can capture all the villans in the forestria and archipelago.and urtrax and Master Mind are the thougest.I usually capture them with the castle army,beacause you can buy them as many as you want.
My record is 23 000 with hard

2 words:time stop!Buy loads of it and cast it as often as possible while looking for arties and villians and army,f'course this means,u'll have to take gold instead of leadership from chests but you'll survive.

KB rules
But I've never finished it completely.
It's actually quite hard, there are so many differences from the Heroes games.
Here are some of the problems I've had:
* When you've got ghosts in your army, they suddenly disappear ie, are turned into peasants. Very annoying cause ghosts are actually quite good. It happens every time you get 'Week of Peasants' methinks.
* When ghosts attack they regenerate and the number of 'em increases. When you reach a certain limit, they become uncontrolable. What's this limit? I know it has something to do with leadership.
And yes, time stop is crucial. Buy a lot of that. Also fireball spell is quite useful.

Well,Planeswalker,ur right bout the ghosts:they turn to peasants on the week of peasants.I personally almost never use ghosts,cuz they get out of control easily.
The limit is they're hitpoints,this goes for all the creatures u have in the game:any creature in ur army must not exceed ur leadership by their hitpoints,example:
Pikemen,hitpoints 10,if u leadership is 100,u can have 10 of them.If the number of the creatures hitpoints exceeds ur leadership,they get out of control and attack anything in sight,friend or foe.If the enemy is defeated and some of ur troops are still out of control,they become the enemy,but if their number is reduced before the enemy is totally dead,u regain control over them.

Maybe the spell that raises your leadership can be useful here? Only a shame it works temporarily.

I hope they bring that Leadership level determining the number of troops you can have back in Heroes5. Alls you would have to do then is make sure you divide them into different slots so they don't go Beserk.

Good idea!That would also stop those hero chains we have in HoMM3,cuz then a new hero won't be able to carry a whole bunch of units to another one!
Bout KB.I got back to it and almost finished with ~22,000 with normal diff and sorceress hero,hehe time stop realy rocks This time I was lucky,cuz I could buy time stop on the 1st continent.
