Healing [[Unicorn and War Unicorn|Unicorns]] or [[Wyvern and Wyvern Monarch|Wyverns]] will help rushing through the map without slow and weak units in the army. However, in major battles, a tent is not that useful. Therefore, First Aid secondary skill is better on small maps, and, of course, useless if you play for a town unable to produce tents (and there is no opportunity to get one somewhere else).<br /> <br /> First Aid is one of the less used secondary skills in the game. At Expert level, it only heals up to 100 health points, which means that all creatures up to the fifth level and most of the sixth level creatures can be fully healed. However, considering that the healing is only given to a single monster, the impact of the First Aid Tent is almost always negligible. Though First Aid is not useless, most other skills in the game are generally more useful. <br /> <br /> The most common situation where First Aid can be worth getting is if the player manages to get one or more level 6 or 7 creatures early on in the game (e.g. [[Refugee Camp]]), as these units can receive the full 1–100 health provided by this skill. Furthermore, it should be noted that unlike most other skills in the game, the effect from First Aid can never run out of mana or ammunition. As a result, it can be very effective during long battles in the early game where the player has at least one level 6 or 7 unit, because as long as the First Aid tent survives and the high leveled units do not take more than 100 damage per turn, they are effectively made imperishable by First Aid. However, it can still be more advantageous to choose another secondary skill than First Aid even in these situations, as the First Aid unlike most other skills will become less useful the longer the game goes on, as the 1–100 health provided by it becomes less and less substantial.<br /> <br /> In patch 1.7.0 of Horn of the Abyss, the First Aid Tent now also has its minimum healing increased, making it more reliable in the aforementioned scenarios.<br /> }}{{end of user commentary}}<br /> <br /> {{secondary skill 'see also'}}<br /> * [[War machine]]<br /> <br /> [[Category: Secondary skills]]<br /> __NOTOC__</div>

Once I (or anyone else) finishes uploading the SoD and HotA map images, the only things missing are a possible map templates list &amp; pages, and of course the Factory information that nobody has yet. I know there are other wikis but I feel like none of them have the charm or dedication to total completion that this one and its contributors have. Thoughts?

I would do it myself but;<br /> 1.I don't know how to (I could probably just cut and import though),<br /> 2.I don't want to change something purely aesthetic without asking first (in the main page of all places),<br /> 3.I think it has been prohibited in order to minimize interference,<br /> 4.I don't know where to. The &quot;HD Mod&quot; section is, well, for that purpose alone. Perhaps we could replace that icon with something more generic and rename it to something like &quot;Related Mods&quot;?

When you right-click on it, no description is displayed and the object generally appears inactive (the horse icon does not “rear up”). The design of the lamp is different from the usual one; it is very similar to the lamp from Heroes II; when the hero &quot;steps&quot; on him, a detachment of genies joins free of charge and without the right to choose.

I added Mushroom Rings and made also a tine change to the description. But you are more than free to edit the text further. –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] ([[User talk:Kapteeni Ruoska|talk]]) 07:04, 24 June 2015 (CEST)<br /> <br /> == Heroes' Ranking (FULLY MY OPINION) ==<br /> <br /> # [[Alamar]]. Dungeon is a gorgeous town which enjoys having two heroes with Resurrection, and generally it has a very strong team of heroes, providing a wide range of protagonists. However, there is only one first place, and I would give it to Alamar who is capable of not only resurrecting his troops, but also learning his teammates this extremely important ability. To be a good &quot;number two&quot; is in my opinion even more important than to be a good &quot;number one&quot; - Alamar is ideally compatible with heroes who cast other powerful spells (e.g. Solmyr), and if you have both Loynis and Alamar, Dungeon will get Prayer which is banned there. Not to mention Stronghold and Fortress where Alamar is the one most wanted.<br /> # [[Malekith]]. Not the other heroes with 4 level spells? However, the most beloved tactical manoeuvre in Dungeon is the notorious Dragogeddon, which means that you learn Armageddon and use only Black Dragons in your army, as even the Red ones are susceptible to this spell and therefore useless for that powerful combo. Therefore, Expert Sorcery will allow Malekith to deal immense damage - and to save lives of Black Dragons themselves, as they die forever, being immune to Resurrection. The faster you burn your enemy, the lower will be your losses (if any).<br /> # [[Jeddite]]. Resurrection, Advanced Wisdom, and seven free slots allow you to form an ideal top-flight hero, who will lead your troops to fame, glory, and immortality - the latter unless they are Black Dragons.<br /> # [[Sephinroth]]. She is possibly among the most underrated heroes in the game. Her specialty doesn't give any buffs to troops or magic, and her starting spell is not the one you most want to get, but Crystal farming is useful in a magical town, and Intelligence together with Mana Vortex will allow her to collect enormous amounts of spell points. Rampart players should have a look on Sephinroth, and if you have both towns, the brotherhood of dragons will become even stronger due to her specialty.<br /> # [[Deemer]]. Would have been higher if not having Scouting. Meteor Shower is a strong thing, which works brilliant till the endgame. It's a pity that Deemer has no chance of learning every magic school alongside with Intelligence, Logistics, and Sorcery all together, nor can he learn other heroes his powerful spell.<br /> # [[Gunnar]]. If you prefer might heroes, Dungeon also gives you a wide choice. Who will bring Beholders and Medusas to fierce battles as soon as possible, considering their low speed prior to upgrade? In fact Dungeon doesn't suffer from being slowed down like Rampart or Stronghold, but in Heroes 3, there are no speed limits, therefore Logistics is never an extra secondary skill.<br /> # [[Dace]]. Minotaurs, who are Dungeon's brute force, get fully trained under their chieftain. As well as Gunnar, he also has Tactics which is helpful for Dungeon since dragons can be forced to kill their own troops. Such a great hero is only seventh in this ranking table!<br /> # [[Ajit]]. It's always good to have a fast shooter, as you can kill the enemy's ranged units before they engage into the battle, and avoid negative spells on your shooting units. Ajit is definitely strong, but perhaps his primary skills (Leadership and Resistance) debuff him, therefore disallowing Ajit to become a pure &quot;number one&quot;. Nevertheless, with speed 8-9 Evil Eyes are extremely efficient both hand-to-hand and from the distance.<br /> # [[Synca]]. Manticores aren't the best sixth level units, and are not buffed very often, but Synca has another advantage which helps a lot, namely Scholar. She will learn powerful spells from Alamar, Deemer, or Jeddite, and is useful when hired in a Tavern of any other faction town.<br /> # [[Damacon]]. There aren't many fans of gold-bringing heroes, but Damacon has seven free slots, and Advanced Offense is a cool thing itself. Dungeon has better heroes, but any of its protagonists would be happy to have such a powerful servant, and you shouldn't forget that Dungeon is an expensive town.<br /> # [[Lorelei]]. We should understand why does Dungeon have so many heroes with unpopular secondary skills, as otherwise this town would become totally imbalanced and invincible. Overpowered Harpy Hags who can reach Red Dragons' speed under Lorelei are balanced by Leadership and Scouting skills, which lead to her inability to become a comprehensively competent hero without disadvantages. Pure &quot;number two&quot; who should learn Logistics and fly through the map like a big harpy. Unfortunately, Water Magic is banned for Overlords, while Harpies have big damage range, thus Bless is vital for them.<br /> # [[Shakti]]. A specific hero who gives you additional cannon fodder, but is also useful for an early rush if you decide to play for Dungeon in a Stronghold style. Necropolis players wait for him in the Tavern.<br /> # [[Darkstorn]]. Thirteenth place occupied by a good warlock with a useful spell (Stone Skin) is just a symbol of Dungeon's force. I always penalize heroes for having Eagle Eye, Learning, Mysticism, Scouting etc., and will maintain here my consistent policy (Darkstorn has Learning). After all, these rankings aren't meant to say you which hero is better and which one is worse.<br /> # [[Arlach]]. Ballista is a good war machine for small maps, but on bigger ones, its importance is rather low, and Dungeon cannot produce it. Arlach can be a good support hero, though.<br /> # [[Geon]]. Eagle Eye specialty hero is completely different from what does Dungeon need, but Slow is arguably the best spell in the game, so Geon will help you if your Mage Guild hasn't produced it, collaborating with Alamar or Synca. <br /> # [[Jaegar]]. While Eagle Eye can theoretically help Dungeon get Prayer, if you didn't hire Loynis in a Tavern, Mysticism is possibly even more useless for Nighon, as Mana Vortex is among the greatest inventions ever between all Heroes III civilizations. Many people ask themselves when building 4 level Mage Guild, what will they get - Resurrection and Town Portal, or Sorrow and Water Walk; and for a Dungeonist entering the Tavern, the question is: will there be Alamar or Jaegar?--[[User:Dread Knight|Dread Knight]] ([[User talk:Dread Knight|talk]]) 22:37, 26 August 2021 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Banned spells ==<br /> Question for all factions.

<p>Nick Bud: + topic</p> <hr /> <div><br /> == &quot;...goal of staying as true as possible to the original game&quot; ==<br /> It sounded good couple of years ago, but after banning the orb of inhibition and all the magic resist stuff I cannot describe it as 'staying as true as possible'. Theyre obviously started to tinker with a global balance. Subgoal - yes, but not a goal. <br /> If we're not comparing this to WoG ofc.--[[User:ShushMaster|ShushMaster]] ([[User talk:ShushMaster|talk]]) 20:42, 15 May 2018 (CEST)<br /> <br /> : Agreed. Removed bullet point from the description. ―[[user:imahero|imahero]] 00:29, 16 May 2018 (CEST)<br /> <br /> == Balance ==<br /> One of their problems is the heavy inclination towards online games and tournaments, so a lot of shit they did is controversial, especially tinkering with hero specialties, like changing everything to % basis, tinkering with skills, banning arts and stuff. All for the sake a balance.<br /> It doesn't help that their personal town is pretty much overpowered. With polished creatures and heroes. Old heroes remain shit, like the tower ones.<br /> * dont think the focus on the online gameplay is something bad for the game. and their attempts to fix the global balance is kinda interesting. the only thing i need - on/off checkboxes for 'red orb/new resistance'-kind features to not feel like a beta-tester under an eternal curse of early access. --[[User:ShushMaster|ShushMaster]] ([[User talk:ShushMaster|talk]]) 16:33, 20 June 2018 (CEST)<br /> ** It's not bad per se, but vicious attempt to equalize everything leads to repetitive &quot;effective&quot; gameplay. Same strategy, same heroes, very little variation by default. Global balance is pretty much the same tho, fractions like Stronghold and Fortress still kind of lacking and to make radical improvements to them would mean deviating from &quot;the original spirit&quot; of the game. They also focused too much on their town, like I said, it's very powerful all around, while something like Necro gets cuts in half(literally). HotA team has it's own very specific ideas for balance. That's admirable, but it would be better if the global changes were customizable and not hardwired.<br /> <br /> == Simultaneous Turns ==<br /> Used to be required to have Horn of the Abyss installed to have simultaneous turns work. No longer the case I suppose.<br /> :Simultaneous turns automatically turn off when you are get other players, including teleporting to an allied castle. If you're using HD Mod with HoTa, it pretty much ensures you have STs. P.S. Cove is still broken AF.<br /> <br /> == HotA Crew ==<br /> Does anyone know if there is a complete list of developer nicknames for this great add-on somewhere on another web-site?

It's weird to flip between four images, two of which don't actually show the Horde building. Wouldn't it make way more sense to either only show what the building looks like with a Horde built, or only show the Horde building as it appears on the build icon? The latter is what the HotA buildings do, and that's way cleaner-looking to me.

I'm not saying we should delete/replace the 7, or just put the dragons in separate categories because of that.--[[User:FirePaladin2|FirePaladin2]] ([[User talk:FirePaladin2|talk]]) 15:11, 14 March 2020 (UTC)<br /> :Btw, I only added a trivia explaining this &quot;conflict&quot; on the respective units' pages, not changed anything.--[[User:FirePaladin2|FirePaladin2]] ([[User talk:FirePaladin2|talk]]) 15:13, 14 March 2020 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Dendroids and content table==<br /> <br /> How to add a content table just like the [[Dendroids]] have to other creatures?--[[User:FirePaladin2|FirePaladin2]] ([[User talk:FirePaladin2|talk]]) 21:48, 20 March 2020 (UTC)<br /> :Don't worry, I figured it out.--[[User:FirePaladin2|FirePaladin2]] ([[User talk:FirePaladin2|talk]]) 22:05, 20 March 2020 (UTC)<br /> ::just for the next generations reading all this in the years ahead: use &lt;nowiki&gt;__TOC__&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> ::for advanced magic u can explore https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Table_of_contents --[[User:GroundhogYear|GroundhogYear]] ([[User talk:GroundhogYear|talk]]) 14:42, 23 March 2020 (UTC)<br /> :::Thanks!--[[User:FirePaladin2|FirePaladin2]] ([[User talk:FirePaladin2|talk]]) 14:55, 23 March 2020 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Punxsutawney==<br /> Finally left your hole I see. :) [[user:imahero|ima]]<br /> :be like me! --[[User:GroundhogYear|GroundhogYear]] ([[User talk:GroundhogYear|talk]]) 08:56, 14 March 2021 (UTC)<br /> ::I guess I could finish my silly map project.

For me it was unclear, whether e.g imps or troglodytes are not affected by morale bonus only themselves (and therefore cancel morale bonus to good and neutral units who are still considered one faction), or cancel the whole morale bonus of the artifact, so that morale fully depends on number of towns represented in the army and other typical events (e.g with pikemen, imps, goblins, and gnolls morale would be -2, if the latter were correct). BTW I hadn't yet tested Angelic Alliance with Conflux (not in HotA) and neutral units, but can imagine that they work like Inferno and Dungeon ones (e.g in classical game, phoenix + pikeman + gnoll means morale 0). If so, feel free to add it.--[[User:Dread Knight|Dread Knight]] ([[User talk:Dread Knight|talk]]) 12:06, 5 May 2021 (UTC)<br /> :Maybe it needs a rewrite to be more succinct. Might also want to put this new (more succinct) explanation in a new section at the bottom.

This fact makes Alamar a valuable hero for all factions except Necropolis. In addition, Alamar starts with [[Scholar]] and [[Wisdom]], which is a useful combination, that makes him a &quot;walking Mage Guild&quot; quickly. Three level-ups is minimum for Alamar to have Expert Scholar and Advanced Wisdom, which enables him to teach fourth level spells (including his Resurrection) to any hero capable of learning them.<br /> <br /> }}&lt;!-- end of fan opinion --&gt;<br /> <br /> {{hero 'see also'}}<br /> <br /> [[Category: Warlocks]]{{keywords}}</div>
