Bonjour,

J'émule mon vieu jeu Heroes of might and magic sur dfend et dosbox. Cependant j'arrive pas à configurer le multijoueur. J'ai un poste serveur et client qui fonctionnent bien en réseau. Donc le jeu me dit de charger le setup pour mettre les bonnes options de réseau dans les deux profils du jeu, sur chaque poste.

Change direct connect/modem config :

Select a com port
1. com port 1 - 0x3f8
2. com port 2 - 0x2f8
3. com port 3 - 0x000
4. com port 4 - 0x000
5. Custom - 0x...

Je mets soit 1 pour les 2 machines, soit l'une sur 1 et l'autre sur 2. (voir config multijoueur doom)

Select a Port Irq
1. IRQ 2
2. IRQ 3
*3. IRQ 4
4. IRQ 5
5. IRQ 7
6. IRQ 9

Je choisir le 3 pour les 2 machines comme il y a l'étoile.

Select a port baud rate
1. 1200 Baud
2. 2400 Baud
3. 9600 Baud
4. 19200 Baud
5. 384000 Baud
6. 57600 Baud

Il conseille 19200 donc je mets 4. sur chaque machine.

Enable music : Non.

Change Modem Init String : Non.

Résultat : le tunnelling marche, les machines se détectent, mais le jeu lui ne détecte pas l'autre machine.
Mes réseaux marchent très bien pour d'autres jeux, donc ça vient juste de la config.
Aidez moi svp !

Hi,

I play Heroes of might and magic with dfend and dosbox.
However I can't play multiplayer.
I have 1 host, 1 client in lan, on a good server.
The game tells to load setup and config options for lan. I do it thus :

Change direct connect/modem config :

Select a com port
1. com port 1 - 0x3f8
2. com port 2 - 0x2f8
3. com port 3 - 0x000
4. com port 4 - 0x000
5. Custom - 0x...

I tried 1&1 or 1&2 (for the 2 pc) (like doom multiplayer config)

Select a Port Irq
1. IRQ 2
2. IRQ 3
*3. IRQ 4
4. IRQ 5
5. IRQ 7
6. IRQ 9

I choose 3 for the 2 pc.

Select a port baud rate
1. 1200 Baud
2. 2400 Baud
3. 9600 Baud
4. 19200 Baud
5. 384000 Baud
6. 57600 Baud

It tells 19200 so I choose 4.

Enable music : No.

Change Modem Init String : No.

Result : tunnelling ok, pc detecting each other... but no lan detected byu the game... host does not detect client...

If you can, please, help me !

From our faq, in big red bright letters:

THESE GAMES ARE NOT DOWNLOADABLE.
WE WON'T HELP YOU IN FINDING DOWNLOADS OF THEM.
ASKING FOR DOWNLOAD LINKS WILL RESULT IN WARNING / BAN.

That was an amusing exchange. Certainly made me smile.
Also, this game was one of the first I ever played, back on my Powermac. Sure brings back great memories--this series has to be one of my all-time favorites.

While it's not my usual habit to reply to some random reviewers from, well, some random sites on the Internet, it was too hard to resist the urge in this case. The author makes two totally ridiculous statements: (a) the graphics are bad, since 3DO failed to hire descent designers (sic!); (b) the game per se, as a strategy, is totally unbalanced, e. g. Warlock creatures (I believe that is what he means by 'mountain species') are superior.
On the first point I've already seen someone answer the author on the first page of this thread. In a nutshell: the graphics are cartoonish, almost child-like, deliberately, that is - by design. Personally, I find this approach extremely fortunate: the graphics have aged well, the game still looks fresh and stylish after all those years.
The second point, however, was not yet addressed here. Well, let's put it this way: either the author has a very, very limited experience with strategy games in general, or something is wrong with his version of the game In fact, the game is ideally balanced, with two factions better suited for early game rush (=small/medium maps), namely, Knights and Barbarians -- their units and buildings are dirt cheap and have a better increase per week rate, and two factions better suited for long-term development (=large/XL maps) -- Sorceress and Warlock buildings and units require a lot of gold and resources and have low increase per week rates. By the way, out of the latter, Sorceress is, in the long run, far superior to Warlock, since Phoenixes can be buffed/ressurrected, while Dragons have that nasty mixed blessing - magic immunity. Excuse me for stating the obvious, but the reviewer seems to miss those evident points somehow
And one more thing for strategy fans: HOMM1 features the absolutely best AI I've ever experienced over the years. Genius AI + King difficulty setting + hard map = diabolically challenging experience. It will push you to your limits, literally. A pity the same AI was never reproduced later in the series, but fortunately, we still have this gem.

HOMM II was unbalanced. ranged units, and flying units and magic were way too powerful (EG wizard, sorceror and sorceres - titans, black dagon and phoenix)

what i played from I wasnt much unbalanced

oh, nice tactic, if your hero can reanimate undead, just drag around those peasants, have em die by the thousands, reanimate and upgrade


keep a slot open for the skeletons tho

anyway, yes, the game is balanced for slow and fast players. Saying one group is stronger is only meaningfull if you let them gain a significant foothold ahead of you

[TotalAnarchy]

Just for the record, if someone wants to buy all the HoMM games, I think Mastertronic offers a better deal than GOG. While on GOG you can buy only 4 games with all expansions for a total of 40 dollars, on Mastertronic the HoMM collection which includes all 5 games plus all expansions costs ~33 dollars, and it's boxed.
