As a kid me and my friends would play HOMM2 constantly. I got so good at it I recently went and beat every single map on hard difficulty. (Somehow I'd always end up with a barbarian hero with 25 attack, and an army of of titan, lich, druid, elf, titan).
So I went on over to GOG and thought hey, maybe I'll try out HOMM3.
I've played about 6 times on small/medium maps and gotten smoked 4/6 times. When I played as Barbarian, I was able to win (the Behemoths are cheap and strong, plus barb heroes are the best), but I tried playing with Fortress and I get crushed every time. It seems like even if I defeat 3-4 enemy heroes, they somehow always come back with an even stronger force.
The main difficulty I have is, do I spend the first week (a) increasing my town's tax revenue with the City Hall / Capitol? or (b) Upgrading everything? or (c) just buy the generators and leave the upgrades for later? or (c) just spend all money on buying low level units? In HOMM2 it was so simple, just build the statue, the well, and you're done with town infrastructure upgrades!
I'm sure I can figure it out myself with time, but any strategy suggestions would be appreciated.
