This is a guide for new/intermediate players on how to play Rampart!
Lexiav is playing Heroes of Might and Magic III with the HotA (Horn of the Abyss) expansion and the community-built HD Mod (not to be mistaken for the HD version on Steam): www.hota.acidcave.net/downloa... - Hry
"If I see a box that is really easily done by Grand Elves then I kind of want to go for Grand Elves, but if there's nothing of very big importance to do immediately, then... I would like to play with Grand Elves instead." - Lexiav, reaffirming my extremely simplistic decision making since 2020.
I know what he meant to say, but I still couldn’t hold my laughter
@Lexiav
I have an idea that you could upload map save from start....that way anybody can play the map himself and then watch how much worse he executed. It would be good way of seeing same map in different perspectives. It could be some series like "challenge lexiav"
This would be amazing
What's the point?? You know the layout of the map, you certainly can improve the result cause of preknowledge, but it will give you much more if you just randomly generate your own map.
@@user-xt4ub7lq6m did u read it? Play, then watch = no preknowledge
@@easyguitareu Ok, sorry, i obviously didn't got your idea.
Watching and then playing is arguably a better way to learn the game. Memorization and subsequent application is a core part of learning anything. This holds true especially in the case of HoMM3, since there’s so many small details to memorize while learning. Reducing the amount of information that you have to process while playing by using the exact same map will most certainly help the in initial stages of learning how to play.
Been whatching your vids and it awoken once again my passion for this game, also really like your personality man. Keep up the great work
I really enjoy this channel. Thank you Lexiav!
Oh wow, I learned so much about the hives ai and strats to taking it more effectively. Thanks Lexiav!
yea his little trick was getting 60 dwarfs from a free pandoras box XD
This gave me a whole new perspective on how to play Heroes 3, i liked the video! :D
This is my favorite faction, so YAY! Thanks lexiav, now when I try and sweat ramp I’ll be better prepared
23:20 WOW. Thanks a lot, man.
i can already hear his voice while reading "the beest" from the title
Great tutorial! Really happy you got back Kalt with the cannon.. Was worried Ivor's artillery would be rendered completely useless otherwise.. :)
I am very impressed by your skills and experience.
A small guide on when to reset would be nice, though.
Are you suggesting a reset tier list?
Its very helpful, love it! Thank you!
thank you so much for reignitig the spark. Love from Serbia
The point of the resets is not to better simulate an online match, but allow you to explain the first turns initial scouting and weighing up what you see which fights and risks yo take if a reset is available could be a cool series on its own the same with a town trade guide
I love these guides :)
Great video, really useful!
Luaghed my ass of when you got the cannon back...
Nice movie, good job Lexiav : )
Lexiav you are a master! great game
Great thumbnail mr Streamer !
What an amazing tutorial!
finally, Rampart. Thanks
When I get pirates I go for the hill fort immediately, their second upgrade is ridiculously good
18:39 is it not worth to check that shrine for something like resurection or town portal or arma or were you just saving movement?
Hello! Excellent channel man! I was wondering, why can't you have more than 8 heroes?
I got flashbacks from last video when i saw the brake.
At 29:43 you sagged Kalt with an artifact, scroll, and balista. Is it worth? Can you explain the thinking process behind that?
It would be cool how to play in impossible difficult the first weeks also. Thanks!
you're so nice guy, tnx so much❤ hello from Ukraine
Hi im from youtube, great video :)
Will there be a christmas stream my dude?
why do u leave so many wood and stone piles behind? beginner question
Tier list for simple explorations!
if I generate a map with 4 players instead of one-it affects the number of objects in your territory or It doesn't matter?
If they are the same faction as you, it makes your guards harder. Also, having 4 players instead of 2 on Jebus cross changes the way the map looks a little (i think the desert is smaller, not 100% sure)
Oh hey, 40:00 There's the Thieves Guild which makes you either more worry or less worry. xD
Isn't breaking 121 instead of 117 harder because of creature growth?
Where is the part 2 of this game :)?
Hello, great guide vid but, I've purchased this game and I'm trying to do the campaign missions, however, I don't see any boxes of creatures like in your game, so most of my games are me confused running around and rolling a dice with upgrading whatever and recruiting whatever. I have been wondering if there are some generally useful tips playing the game (buying more heroes doesnt rly work for me, I always loose)
I play shadow of death campaign mission two, I am stuck there. Any tips from good players would hold a great value to me. Cheers!
Some basic tips: SoD campaigns are one of the more difficult ones and you can't relly on creature banks on most of the campaign maps so buying many heroes for the sake of transporting army fast is less useful, because you can't accumulate army by visiting objects. To have an easier time, build your main hero strong by visiting all Primary skill boosting buildings available. Focus on building the strong unit dwellings in your castle and build your economy by upgrading your town hall. Your hero should be fighting the neutral monsters and a few other heroes should stick around him looting stuff. Beating enemy heroes is a priority over taking enemy towns. Avoid stronger guards until you can beat them with next to no casualties. At the end of a map, as you are about to beat the last enemy, you can take your time to build the mage guild so your hero can learn the spells and carry them over to the next map.
What nvmcomrade said, plus visit all the stat boosting adventure objects before completing the objective. Campaigns and scenarios are very different from the standard tournament format they use with random map generated with the JC (Jebus Cross) template. Also, if you can snipe an enemy town on day 6 or 7, then you can deny the enemy the recruitment of the new troops that become available at the start of the new week by recruiting them yourself, if you have the money of course. Likewise, be careful of not losing any of your own towns that still have a lot of unrecruited creatures left. And of course, cash is king, so make sure to build up your towns' economy and get any gold mines you can. Also always take the gold instead of exp from chests. You need it to speed up your start. Then you can get exp by killing stuff while taking mines etc. I used to take a lot of exp before, but taking all cash works much better.
Yes it is, yes it issss!
Best faction?? So why you placed Conflux and Castle in your top tier list for Jebus Cross?
I got Heroes 3 on Uplay , but cant get the game to launch....
is it worth buying the HD version from steam or was there issues with that version ?
Nice videos BTW.
Buy the game on gog and download HotA mod. Dont buy the HD it sucks.
I bought HD too, but it doesn't have any of the expansions, so it sucks. Now using Heroes Complete with HD mod. Still haven't installed the HotA expansion, wanna finish the SoD campaigns first since I dunno how HotA would affect the old campaigns.
@@ungrimironfist5740 You basically can't play the campaigns on HotA. But you can still install HotA. The HD mod allows you to choose if you want to launch SoD or HotA.
Was the thumbnail taken from a room in might and magic 6?
How you do, that in fight show who is turn?
It's a setting from HotA+HD Mod, it's called battle queue
Why didn't you upgrade your angels at the hill fort before breaking?
in HotA you can only upgrade tier 1-5 units if I am correct maybe you can only upgrade tier 1-4. They added 2 types of hillforts in HotA you got brown hillforts for low tiers and then stone hillforts for all tiers. Also it is more expensive than in you castles.
never had a biome this good tho, pretty open map with no annoying terrain block around town, easy pandora with 55 dwarfs(crazy good), 2 cons and a hive scouted on first turn just following the road. 90% of jc maps i dont find so much in 2 turns scouting with 8 heroes...
and crazy number of cons for a biome
Where's that hat from the thumbnail ?? 😅😅
I like to play rampart only 1 reason, hero You did not mention (as hes half cheat? lol).. Ryland, that diplo + moral combo is insane, especially if You manage to diplomatically overtake elfes, marksmen and crusaders, creatures who do dual hit. With right artefact, its quite normal to get 4 hits/shots out of units per turn :) But thats just my style with rampart. Awesome/informative video thou.
Diplo is prolly banned...
@@ChessJourneyman Its horn of abyss, diplo, necromancy etc are heavily nerfed there. One reason I dont like abyss and will never play it, lol
Well , they are nerfed for a reason. Necromancy even nerfed can get you good stack of skeletons because JC templates have far more creature banks then regular single game and campaign scenarios in Heroes 3 so more crypts, dwarwen treasury or imp cache close to your town, while killing other creatures clearing the map, bigger the skeleton stack so you can end the week 1 with hundreds of them already. Diplo is nerfed for a reason. Why would you get 10 archangels joining you for nothing? Pay the price and get them, logical, simple and fair. You need to build your economy and decide on whom to spend your money on. They needed to nerf the diplomacy because they are many many more tier 6 and 7 creatures on the map then on regular single or campaign scenarios of HOMM3 Complete. Imagine just going in the desert and picking up all those high level creatures, mostly for free.
@@balkanskeprovale1137 Necromancer also have many downside. In heros 3, theres many ways to stop necros. They have low speed, no moral and few other problems. It is bit diffrent afcorse, if necro gets cloack of undead king (then its usualy beyond f..d for anyone else). But red rush, demon farming and afcorse diplo+moral combo are great ways to counter necro. Theres also armagedon and black dragon stradegy to :P
Isn’t pathfinding better than artillery especially with desert?
because he was gonna get the boots which negate all terrain penalty already
Can somebody explain what Jebus Cross means?
It's the name of this map template.
Why are all of your videos on Jebus Cross? Is it like the only playable format? The fastest? Do people not know how to play outside of hiring 7-9 heroes turn 1 on an XL map and doing a week 1 snowball by raiding dwellings? The meta for this game is confusing... Is there a meta outside of this map?
Been wondering that too. I've noticed on his tier lists he factors in this playstyle into his creature evaluation. I'm not familiar with the pvp scene though so maybe most pvping involves early game rushing.
Can someone please elaborate on what is happening at 24:20, besides that the A.I is stupid. I mean there is clearly enough space for the flies to surround the elves. But they choose not to. Lexiav explanation is a little confusing and i cant understand it clearly cause of his accent. Thanks!
AI considers a lot of things when their turn is up. One of those things is if the shooters are covered or not. Since Lexiav moved the Grand Elves next to the last unit that will move, when the first three sets of Dragon fly are deciding what to do, they check if the shooters are covered(which they are) so they are choosing to attack the Centaurs instead. And the last set of Dragon fly is also choosing to attack the Centaurs leaving the Grand Elves able to shoot. Which makes the AI stupid :).
Just here to boost the algorhythm
44:45 hey lets take retal to not get retalled on angels *target unit:Griffin*
like, so fany =)
Taking the retaliation of Griffons? I thought they had unlimited...
Unupgraded griffins have 2 retals
Imagine no losses maxi conserwatory with up stack on grass
Sooo many black knights
This type of map makes me sad. Instead of trying to develop the town, the idea is to get creature banks and pretty much ignore the town :(
Dont insult my poor boi AI :(((
Lol tik lietuvoj vis dar zaidzia sita zaidima
