'''Diplomacy''' is a [[secondary skill]], that increases the chance [[wandering creature]]s will offer to [[join]] the hero's army and lowers the cost of [[surrender]]ing to another hero. Additionally, Diplomacy enables hero to learn [[primary skill]]s from [[Library of Enlightenment]] earlier than experience level 10. With Basic Diplomacy hero has to be at least on level 8, with Advanced Diplomacy on level 6 and with Expert Diplomacy on level 4 to receive +2 to all primary skills from Library of Enlightenment.

'''Heroes with Diplomacy as a starting skill:'''
* {{Adela}} (basic)
* {{Cyra}} (basic)
* {{Ryland}} (basic)

== Basis of joining ==
Whether or not the wandering monsters will join you for "greater glory" or at price, depends not only on a hero's level of Diplomacy, but also on several other factors (see also External Links below).

First, the primary skills of a hero and the strength of the army that this hero leads are combined and then compared with the strength of the wandering monsters. The greater the relative strength of the hero’s army, the more likely it is that the monsters will join.

Second, the chance that wandering monsters join is increased when the hero’s army contains at least one upgraded or non-upgraded creature of the same type as the wandering monsters. The chance of joining is further increased when more than half of the creatures in a hero’s army are of the same type as the wandering monsters. Note that fire and energy elementals, water and ice elementals, and earth and magma elementals are considered different creature types, even though the latter of each pair is an upgrade of the former.

Third, when playing at easy difficulty, heroes receive a diplomacy bonus, even when they have not learned the skill. This does not affect heroes with expert diplomacy, but no Diplomacy acts as Basic Diplomacy, basic diplomacy acts as advanced diplomacy and advanced diplomacy as expert diplomacy.

Fourth, these three factors together are compared to the aggressiveness of the wandering monsters. A group of wandering monsters that the mapmaker has set to ‘compliant’ will always join, whereas a group of ‘savage’ wandering monsters will never join. The default setting is ‘aggressive’, meaning that at the beginning of the game the aggressiveness of each group of wandering monsters is pseudo-randomly determined to range from as high as those of ‘savage’ monsters, to so low that creatures may join even when neither diplomacy, nor any creatures of the same type are present. ‘Hostile’ monsters have a higher aggressiveness than ‘aggressive’ monsters but might still join, whereas ‘friendly’ monsters have a lower aggressiveness than ‘aggressive’ monsters but still often fight or flee.

== Discussion ==
Diplomacy together with [[Visions]] forms a powerful combination that allows a hero to easily see which wandering monsters will join (for free, or a fee) and which will flee. This will greatly enhance the hero's ability to scout areas, giving an early lead in the game and possibly an early victory. As other towns typically has to combine differently [[alignment|aligned]] creatures received with Diplomacy causing them to suffer from bad [[morale]], [[Necropolis]] can [[Skeleton Transformer|transform]] these creatures into [[Skeleton]]s (or possible [[Bone Dragon]]s) and avoid this side-effect.

Diplomacy combines well with [[Leadership]], as the morale boost from it will often be enough to prevent bad morale, even in a multi-alignment army.

Often in tournament and multiplayer games, Diplomacy skill is regarded as an overpowered secondary skill and is frequently banned from competitive play.

==Description==
Diplomacy reduces the cost of [[surrender]]ing, and increases the chance of wandering monsters joining you, be it 'for greater glory' or at a price.

'''Recommended for:''' At least one hero, typically a support, on maps with wandering monsters that are not set to 'savage', but preferably to 'aggressive' (i.e., the default setting).

Although a main hero's attack and defense skill help in convincing wandering monsters to join, it typically works well to let a support hero learn this skill instead. This support hero can then borrow troops from your main hero to convince wandering monsters to join and return the troops immediately after. This saves your main hero a skill slot and potentially a lot of movement points.

==Backstory==
Gem arrives from Enroth fresh from the succession wars. She helps clovergreen militia and then aids a wizards apperentice against the necromancers in Deyja.
==Quest/Objective==
*First mission: Defeat all enemies

*Fourth mission: Retrieve [[Dead man's boots]]

==Strategy==
The heroes are practically useless, but they are the ones that transport levels through the campaign.
Otherwise, just defeat all enemies before doing objective, you will find it easier that way.

Nidho: fixed typo

[[Image:Hero_General_Kendal.png|frame|left]]
===Biography===
Following [[King Gryphonheart]]'s murder, General Morgan Kendal temporarily assumed the throne until a new successor could be found. History shall remember him as the only ruler of [[Erathia]] who allowed the capitol city of [[Steadwick]] to be captured.
 
===Special Ability===
;Estates: General Kendal receives a 5% per level bonus to his [[Estates]] skill.

===Additional Information===

Class: [[Knight]]

Gender: Male

Species: Human

'''Note:''' There is no 'General Kendal' to choose in the map editor. He's based on another hero, most likely [[Lord Haart (ROE)]]. His portarit, however, is found in the list of portraits. A problem with using it on a RoE map is that with the inclusion of the [[Conflux]] heroes, his portrait was shifted to another place. This means that if his portratit is in an RoE map played with AB or SoD, it will show up as [[Thunar]]'s instead.

Alignment

2008-10-07T11:40:52Z

Nidho: consistent use of plural

[[Category: Terms]]
'''Alignment''' is a characteristic of a [[town]] type. There are three alignments in Heroes III:

* '''Good''' ([[Castle]], [[Rampart]], [[Tower]])
* '''Evil''' ([[Inferno]], [[Necropolis]], [[Dungeon]])
* '''Neutral''' ([[Stronghold]], [[Fortress]], [[Conflux]])

Alignment has almost no direct impact on the gameplay, it is mostly used in the [[storyline]] for obvious reasons. The only things in the game which are affected by alignment are the [[Altar of Sacrifice]], the [[Angelic Alliance]] and a few of the [[Magical Terrain]]s.

Heroes have the same alignment as the towns with which they are associated, not the towns in which they are hired. The [[Castle]] heroes, [[Knight]]s and [[Cleric]]s, will still be Good when hired in a [[Dungeon]] town.

Altar of Sacrifice

2008-10-07T11:39:34Z

Nidho: fixed spelling

The altar's function depends on your hero's [[alignment]].

At the Altar, if you are Good, you can sacrifice only artifacts; if you are Evil, you can sacrifice only creatures; and if you are Neutral, you can sacrifice both.

Your hero receives [[experience]] points in return.

'''Comment:''' Normally you would not sacrifice troops but usually there are artifacts you do not need so Evil aligned heroes are at a disadvantage. A hero's alignment does not change if bought in a differently aligned town. Buying an Evil hero in a Good or Neutral town does not help.

Mage Guild

Nidho: "all" was used twice

A place in a town where heroes can learn new [[spells]] and purchase [[Spell Book]]s.

A fully built Mage Guild will teach
*5 [[First Level Spells]]
*4 [[Second Level Spells]]

*2 [[Fourth Level Spells]] '''Note:'''''This is the highest level available in the [[Castle]]''
*1 [[Fifth Level Spells]]

A [[Tower]] with a [[Library]] built will teach one extra spell of each level.
A [[Conflux]] with an [[Aurora Borealis]] will teach every non-banned spell.

A mapmaker can disable so many spells that some or all the slots can't be filled.

In addition to any disabling from the mapmakers side, the following spells won't appear in the mage guilds. (Spells that can't appear due to the Guild not being buildable to its level emitted):

Moat

2008-10-07T11:32:57Z

Nidho: fixed typo

Since SoD there are additional Moats for the town defense.
==Information==
*If a creature is in the Moat it takes 10% additional damage by non-magic attacks.
*The creature is not able to cross the Moat in one turn and stops into the turn.
*Creatures take damage for entering the Moat and for each round they stay in this moat.
*They don't take damage if they leave the Moat.
*Not only the attacking creatures but also the defending creatures will take damage!

==Damage==
*[[Castle]] (Water) = 70 Damage
*[[Rampart]] (Brambles) = 70 Damage
*[[Stronghold]] (Wooden Spikes) = 70 Damage
*[[Necropolis]] (Boneyard) = 70 Damage
*[[Fortress]] (Boiling Tar) = 90 Damage (2 hexes)
*[[Dungeon]] (Boiling Oil) = 90 Damage
*[[Inferno]] (Lava) = 90 Damage
*[[Tower]] (Landmines) = Special

===Tower mines===
*The landmines are cast with advanced [[Fire Magic]] on [[Spell Power]] 10.
*They are the only town defending system influenced by the visiting hero.
*[[Protection from Fire]] will reduce the damage they make.
*Defending creatures won't let the mines explode.

;Damage formula : 10 x 10 spell power + 50 = 150 damage.

====Increasing damage====
They will do 150 damage at minimum. Stronger hero stats will increase the damage.

To increase the damage of the land mines the hero needs:
*Spellpower 14 without/with basic Fire Magic
*Spellpower 11 with advanced Fire Magic and
*Spellpower 6 with expert Fire Magic

The [[Orb of Tempestuous Fire]] will always increase the damage by 50%. The hero does not need a [[Spell Book]].

====Fire immunity / Spell resistance====
*The mines will not explode on creatures with fire immunity.
*The mines will not affect creatures with 100% spell immunity. (Some dragons.)

====Removing / disabling them====
*The mines can be [[Dispel]]led. With expert [[Water Magic]] you can dispel all the mines at once.
*If either of the heroes has the [[Recanter's Cloak]] equipped, all creatures will be immune to the mines.

Mine

2008-10-07T11:14:33Z

Nidho: typo fixed

A flaggable structure that every day produces some [[Resources]] that are added to the treasury of the color whose flag it flies. Even if the daily resource generator for certain resources doesn't always look like a mine(like f.ex the [[Gem Pond]]), they are still often refered to as mines as a collective term. The game has actually six types of mines: cavern (3 mines), pit (1 mine), dune (1 mine), lab (1 mine), mill (1 mine) and pond type (1 mine). See list of mines below.

A mine is owned by the color of the last hero to visit it.

Mines can have armies stationed in them, in a similar way to [[Garrison]]s.

Regardless of where it is placed, any combat taking place on a mine will use [[Subterranean]] terrain for graphics and when determining [[Native Terrain]] bonuses.

==List of 'mines'==
*[[Sawmill]] ([[Wood]])
*[[Ore Pit]] ([[Ore]])
*[[Crystal Cavern]] ([[Crystal]])
*[[Gem Pond]] ([[Gems]])
*[[Alchemist's Lab]] ([[Mercury]])
*[[Sulfur Dune]] ([[Sulfur]])
*[[Gold Mine]] ([[Gold]])
