The necromancer skill works, but slightly different. When you win a fight it increases your current stacks. So, if you have 4 different creatures in your party, you will get some added based on their tier and the difficulty of the fight, or rather the stronger the monsters are that you are...

The upgraded serpent flies, gorgons, and hydras were great. Especially a decent stack of the gorgons. What made that faction tough, though, was a lack of any real ranged damage and being capped at spell level 3.

I don't remember if any of the newer versions had this, but I discovered in the demo that you don't have to split a stack if you're trying to leave just 1 monster on a hero. If you pick up the stack and move it, it will automatically leave 1 on the original hero if there are no other monsters...

Songs of Conquest has it's fun elements, but I also could not put my finger on why I did not enjoy it enough to play over and over. Honestly, the best explanation i did come up with was that it just felt too "cluttered". Not nearly as fun exploring as it is in HOMM 3, thus felt a little...

I remember the old pencil trick for one of those track and field games, to help push both buttons in the right rhythm. We were pretty poor so I stopped wasting my quarters on Dragon's Lair, but, man, did I want to beat that game. The arcades in the 80s were amazing, but there were still fun...

It is definitely possible but typically the starting areas have few aggressive Dino types early on. Sounds like you were unlucky in that regard. I have had the same scenario happen to me while I was disconnected. If you're on a flying mount and get disconnected, it used to dismount you in...

I don't know if they will add it later, but there is so much missing from their initial run-in with the sea folk. Not to mention the big brawl in the sky. I have to believe they will at least put that in there somewhere.

In reference to the Seanchan, there were immediate, glaring, changes as well as underlying tones. If I remember it correctly from the books, the ones bound (forget the term) were never portrayed as liking what they were doing. The not so subtle skin tones they used for the two linked (?)...

I went into this with high hopes that it would be half-way decent, even though I knew it would not be close to the books. I can watch just about anything and be ok with it, but there are just too many bad ingredients to make any sort of decent recipe. Also, as with every other opinion, they...

Mouse and KB controls are pretty bad, but haven't tried it with a controller yet. Will do that tomorrow to see if it gets better.

Maybe it's just me, but that narrator in the opening cinematic seems like it was a bad choice, or rather there had to be much better picks out there. Almost sounded like he was trying way too hard. Being picky, I know, but it stood out enough for me to clearly notice.

Agreed. Condensing the proper material to include in the show. I've been trying to figure out the most egregious change, from my perspective, and haven't decided yet because there are too many. I'm with you on the Lan scene, too. The books were all about how rarely he would change...

What they did with Loial's appearance was one of those off-putting aspects that every time he was in a scene, all I could think about was how horrible he looked versus the book's description. My wife is watching it with me and she has since picked up the books. I told her it will be very...

I thought reading the first 3 books again before this came out was a good move, turns out I was wrong. I am usually open minded and flexible when it comes to adapting books to TV/Movies, but the changes were so jarring it ruined my ability to find any enjoyment in the show. There are no...

Thanks, Pharazon2, I have never heard of Refin but will certainly check it out.
