Cyclops + tactics
There is a known trick when you have Cyclops and tactics skill. When the tactics turn is on cyclops you can shot at walls when playing a siege. How much is this legal? Is it only a bug which is fixed? (Not in my version)

Hi guys..
Thought I'd throw in my 2 cents while browsing through here.
When I play heroes I do so for 1 reason. To have a good time.
And for me to have a good time, My opponent at least has to have a decent time
Rules/ or lack there of help to producec a game that everyone involved can enjoy.
I am not scared of hit/run, or sieging, or anything else really.. but unless I am playing a cutt throat type player in a tourney game.. its very frustrating to deal with a perfectly acceptable, yet unenjoyable tactic late in the game.
Tactics such as summon an opponents boat away, and the like are map glitchs. Not strategies.
Catapult killing is another interesting tactic. I've had I think 7 or 8 siege combats in my games where a catapult has been destroyed, or I have destrouyed the opponents catapult.
One of those situations was one of the more fun times I ever had killing an opponent behind his castle walls. Crunched catapult.. hmmm Tazar and exp water and teleport. what fun
Another one of these battles I had my catapult destroyed but managed to resist a number of massive dmg spells being thrown at me while titans and golden bow finished the deal.
Anyway you shouldn't put down rule makers.. or players that use no rules. if you don't like it. don't play it. simple. You are here to enjoy your games right?
Hopefully see you in zone sometime

Itīs not at all gentleman-like IMO, if one declares people who share his ideas about how a Heroes 3 game should be played to be gentlemen. That implies an insult to everyone who has different views on the game.
Many supposed unbalancers, which people are so happy to ban from the game, can very well be the perfect balancers. Iīve given reasons for my view in the Library thread "Standard random rules".
As far as Iīm concerned, I rather get hitīnrun and redrushed than killed because my opponent has pulled the best possible relics from a Utopia. Or 10 Angels from three Griffin Cons that stand next to his starting Castle. But thatīs just me, to everyone their own. In this season I accepted 99% of the rules that were suggested to me, no matter if I found them to be sensible or not.
When a whiner loses a game in an unusual way, chance is good that a new rule becomes born. Thatīs why I propose the subject of this thread to be renamed into Whinermensī Rules.
lmao
imho, i prefer to play with no rules and use what ever is avalibe in the game, but is simple matter of fact that if u decide u need the castle to win the game, and opponent says not gonna att castle and calls u castle sitter then u gonna b bad mouth'd in zone and put on ppl's no play list lol. so is easy right? dun castle sit, BUT then when the shoe is on the other foot and u play some of the highr ranked toh players or in a sub-tourney and they sit in castle cause they wasnt expecting u so soon, then its just bad luck mate lol. also it seems that in sub-T games that anything goes lol, just expect a cut throat game lol, but when is normal ladder game...plz, dun forget to play with honor !!
best way is no rules all round and just go with what the game throws at ya.
only other way would b to have rules set for each map, so when u play hg3, the rules r there that u must follow for tourney play.
ps. @pax....was 4 portals of glory LOOOL, but dun blame me, this was a toh rmg so it was a fair and balanced game

none of those "rules" are good or bad...
I use to say no to most of em then changed my tune... I will happily play any game with whatever rules YOU want or none at all.. H&R me and ill do it to you ... sit in your castle fine and dandy i will just wait out the game and crush your other heroes while u sit.
Rules or no rules that just isn't the question its what rules you want is how i play

hey Max we should play HG2 one day .. i will
..first: Summon your boat away.
...second: use DD in underground to get to fobidden arts and your Utopia.
...third: hit and run u to death with middle tavern.
...fourth: Break our "No diplo"-rule we made before game as TOH is a "no-rule-tournament" and get all the joiners.
... fifth: Sit in YOUR castle and hide behind my Blackies although my troups are bigger, my spells are better and my stats are higher.
and finally: Destroy your balista when u attack with your fortress troups.
Of course i will report you with low honor as i expect u to do the same.

PS: This is all unrealistic u think?!? ...well all this happened into the last games i had recently... not to mention the guy that had dropped before he made serious fights ..only to come back 15 mins later.
Xarfax my friend
those "tricks" are well known on by hg players so I suppose Maximus was expecting ya to do them , Imo when I play hg2 I always expect them from experienced players heh
