Hiyas all.
I used to obsess over HOMM 1 and 2 when they first came out, and now I bought HOMM3. Been working my way back to however good I'm going to get at it.
I am playing "hard" now, and do very well on maps up to the "large" size. Now I've started on the extra large size, and it has thrown me for a loop. I've even abandoned a couple of games out of frustration.
What happens is, I'm keeping busy, but after a while my level 24 or whatever bumps into an enemy who fearlessly challenges me -- and when I see his stats, I see why. I can't make a dent on him and he eats me up 30 dragons at a time because he has attack and defense almost in the 40's. I simply can't seem to get through the map that fast without losing so many soldiers that I'd just start to slow down again because of lack of soldiers and/or lack of money limiting my expansion.
Anyway, anybody got any general tips for playing on extra large maps? Or any other sizes, for that matter. PS I'm now playing with that what's his face side, umm...the one with evil eyes, medusa queens, minotaurs, scorpicores, and black dragons. Doing well too, until I started on extra large maps.
