Creature Bank is a collective term for the Adventure Map locations where a hero may fight against guards in order to receive a reward. The reward typically consists of gold and resources, but may also contain creatures or artifacts. The combat against the guards is a unique arrangement, where the hero's troops are located in the middle of the battlefield surrounded by enemies and war machines are not present on the battlefield (though they still provide passive bonuses). Tactics also does not work in creature banks. As with other battles, slain enemies do not respawn (should the hero retreat or be defeated). Visiting crypts or shipwrecks whose guards have already been defeated, decreases morale by -1 until the next battle.
Note the shown experience is based on the total HP of guards to be defeated, not as a separate reward.
Naga Bank gives sulfur, which may be considered as illogical as there are three other creature banks that are coherent with the magical resource they hold and the town they represent. These three are:
- Dwarven Treasury guarded by dwarves from Rampart and holding crystal
- Imp Cache guarded by imps from Inferno and holding mercury
- Medusa Stores guarded by medusas from Dungeon and holding sulfur
The Heroes 3 HD mod addresses this by changing the Naga Bank reward from sulfur to gems. This behavior can be toggled off by unchecking the HD+ checkbox.
Trivia[edit | hide | hide all]
- Greg Fulton mentions Creature Banks in Fanstratics Newsletter #8 as him settling for not implementing full boss battles in HoMM 3.

Guards preview table[edit | hide]
The table shows how to pre-check the guard strength of an object without attacking it.
Guarding stacks accentuated with bold font should be considered in the first place.
Stacks insignificant for a preview are omitted.
The overall amount of creatures can be checked in the status bar (above the resource line at the bottom of the screen) by hovering over an object already visited (not attacked) by a hero.
