  • What happens when people complain that a game is too difficult and people say it's just impossible to beat the AI? Well it sounds like it's time for a pro exploiter in the form of me the Spiffing Brit to reveal the best strategy in the form of video game glitches and bugs that break the Ballance of the game and turn an impossible game into a walk in the park. Today we are playing heroes hour which is one of my favourite games and as always I like a challenge so we are playing on hardcore+ with all the advanced difficulty settings also turned up to impossible game levels!
    so it's time for me to flex my exploit skills and break the game with infinite money, infinite money and infinite skills. My power is unstoppable and I will defeat this impossible challenge with all of my cheats and tips and tricks that exist for us exploiters!
    What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.

    @diopap1529 Před 2 lety +9

    Hello friends! I have been playing this game since before release and since I am a huge HOMM 3 fan I find it amazing. It's a fresh new take on the genre by people that know it well. Here are a couple of tips to win consistently on Impossible+ on most factions and heroes:
    -Spend the first few days massing up troops and building essential buildings - depending on the faction and build order (its random for each game) and ofcourse your hero's abilities. DO NOT pick a fight until round 3-4 or even 5 unless you feel extremely confident you will only suffer minor losses. You may want to get to tier 3 units or an upgraded tier 1 or 2, or build a mage's guild. Also, a first week build shoud definately be the Infirmary. Maybe before the first battle if you find it too hard.
    -Plan your battles with great care. First week battles are limited and there is always a very strict order you can follow. There will be 2 easy battles for the wood and ore mines, another for the Pillar (for the secret treasure, which you should hire a second hero to find and transfer to your main most of the time) and maybe a random creep guarding a small treasure. You Dont Have To Fight Every Day. Take on ONLY fights you can win decisively.
    -In battle you should always have an advantage. Stronger units, a good hero ability, a good spell. See what works for you. If you have none of these things, wait for better units but be warned that this sets you back against the AI. Unless you have a plan to capitalise and catch up it will not work to wait too long, although patience i and defence is key for many situations in this game.
    -During the first few turns where you are not fighting, use the time to explore and try to find XP chests with your hero. Prioritize skills that give you a combat advantage or free troops. Good examples include Mastery, Legion, Mercurial (its busted always take a beginner), Elementalism, Offence, Bloodlust ect. Learn which skills are good and focus on them with a side of support skills. Restart game if you suffer massive losses first week or just save scum. In general, try Might heroes first ( the top 3 ones on every faction). Magic is weaker/more complex/worse scaling.
    -Needless to say, learn the different abilities of the various units and the hero skills. This will take time but Its a fun game, enjoy playing it. Start on lower dificulties and work your way up.
    -By the second week aim to get your economy going. Upgrade your econ buildings, build an army to take on some more difficult battles (like mines) and towards the end tier 4-5 units if u can affort.
    -Again, if you find yourself losing battles, your build is not strong enough. This is a game where one lost battle means the game most of the time. Restart and try a different build until you find something that works for you.
    -An early capture of an enemy faction is a great advantage. If you feel strong enough to take them, go for it.
    Anyway, experiment and dont be afraid to restart if things go south. If you think of a build work on it until it just works. I may update this if it gets upvotes. Cheers.

    The troop duplicator exploit does work however you must make sure to set combat speed to 1/2 for best results. It will not work at all at 2x speed and can actually cause you to lose troops instead of gaining them. Attempting this on any bodyguard units may result in all of them disappearing entirely for the rest of combat.
    My conclusion is that 1/2 speed is tea and 2x speed is coffee.
    Additionally this exploit can make it possible to sometimes lose a battle despite having thousands of duplicated troops in reserve - further testing required to find the exact circumstances.
    Edit: This works incredibly well with any unit that has retreat, with the upgrading through combat of the Horde faction, as well as any hero with the Healing skill; Tobruni and Erandu of the Horde are excellent at turning a pair of Harpies into a couple hundred permanent Furies in a single battle!
    I can't believe Sir Spiff noticed me, I feel so blessed! This is replacing the time I had dinner with The Queen as the greatest moment of my life! ^_^

    Make sure that when you use this exploit you save before if you keep your armies to single entities... sometimes while duplicating if you're going fast, you can actually delete the units entirely. They won't show up to be deployed but it will show that they're still in the army. Also with the Decay faction's Malediction, Devour, and the Dark Ritual abilties... you can create an endless stream of dark horrors that are very very top tier busted.

    Early game I literally just hug my castle to defend and get resources from mines, pyre gets a lot of troops every battle for literally no cost to aid in offense and defense. The ai beat each other and I slowly saved up on resources. The pyre has a major spell that can spawn a real army of troops every 7 days, basically it is a suicide squad except it isn't weak at all, and u can use this with every hero. Soon enough, I have one hero that constantly changes unit into higher tier for free and has a lot of useful skill, his army is so strong that my other hero can literally not own an army and win any battle just using bodyguards and pyre portal because bodyguards scale with the difference to ur strongest army......
