Hereos of Might and Magic III - Cheats

[ivanrolim]

I´m very very disappointed.

I´ve bought Armageddon blade only to see BUGs in ´playing with fire´ scenario. A rare one, but already seen in some people.

In Map 4 of "playing with fire" (a huge map), I´ve seen a random hero pertainning to two colors at the same time appears or a thing like that (you see a orange hero moving while the hourglass shows the PURPLE flag)

That´s an unpredictable bug, as I´ve played it without cheats and without computer problems. I use win98.

I have the save-game (400k), if anyone want please email me
(ivanrolim@bol.com.br) and I will send you with no delays. Of course I´ve used cheats to find the purple ´hidden hero´, the last one I have to kill (because the game crashes after I click end-of-turn). The interesting thing, you can actually see him in the tavern. Also I have a former savegame when you could see purple player playing a orange one! (400k)

I need the save-games of this scenario, but I prefer cheats to go to the next level, does someone have it ? I´ve found nothing in the whole internet! It would help me to continue this game (and go backwards in maps), since I´m so upset with these issues. (I have already 2.2 version)

If someone made a H3-Trainer with (next-level) trigger or (kill all enemies) trigger, people into HEROES world will be very very appreciated with this bless.

We are not free of these game bugs....

BTW, where are the campaigns H3 users ask for? There are no new campaigns around here to share

Thanks!

I´m afraid I have already this list.

As you can see, your list does not have the [NEXT LEVEL] cheat for armageddon blade.

Guess what? We need programmers to let armageddon bug-free (dodging them using cheats or a new version, like 2.3, 2.4...)



I´m trying to recover two maps with this behaviour, one from my friend. I have 6 former save games of my scenario level, have to use unlimited-moves cheat to win, as I deserve. The last PURPLE hero does not have a huge army , anyway.

One of my former save games worked. I´ve killed everybody without that ghost-hero thing. That implies the game could be bug-free until the middle of a dozen-hour playing, until a rare, but a possible thing may occur: enemy hero, once fled, don´t reappear in the enemy hero town ('ghost' bug)

[k'tav]

doesn't the code form h3:roe work in ab, too?
anyway, use the unlimited movement code to complete the main quest and win the map.

[ivanrolim]

No way to let H3-ror or H3-sod cheats working on AB (only a few of them). Unlimited movement worked because I had a old save-game without the bug after ´enemy hero has fled´ message, after a facing war. That is, the game dynamics were 100% bug free in these former save games.

If I have let the game goes on, so that the bug can be triggered, even unlimited movement will be of no use (jammed) coz´ you will not find the last hero since then (if you have luck of no game crashes at every enemy movement after your end-of-turn)! Either you find an older savegame, or just restart the map (if extra-large, prepare for another 2-8 hours of play)

The idea here? People using Armaggedon Blade must use 6 savegames minimal, and update often the last two savegames until a fix to this issue.

hmmm, let's say u have to defeat a hero to win the scenario. u play and eventualy u encounter a bug. restart the map, enter unlim. moves code and go from the first day and defeat that hero, and in case u need to add some angels to your troops. u can do this with any other victory condition...

ps. i just remembered: u can use the "-nwcgrail" switch:
h3blade.exe -nwcgrail
u will have a menu in windowed mode where u have all the cheats, but i don't know if it works in ab

[ivanrolim]

I had the same idea..... but imagine this.....My heroes got 32 attack, 31 defense and so on, in the first levels....with hours of planning and tactics. I restart a map and use unlimited moves.....so I must get some castles, tiny training dwellings and so on, just to get the same skills as before. You know.... let´s say the scenario has 10 levels..... If I get the bug on level 2, I couldn´t restart a map and use unlimited codes to kill everyone with huge archangels because the next level would be much more difficult..... heroes with 4 attack, 4 spell points and no experiences....while the enemy will have 20, 30.....

But you can see that heroes III isn´t complex. You just increase this skill levels and voi´la. Your heroes can be ´the same´ as the former heroes in a old buggy game, but you don´t have the ´essence´ of skills that you´ve acquired with so much effort.

Many people, as me, would like to see more complexity in hero´s experience table, (maybe in HEROES3 gold) since you don´t have control of your efforts to get more attack, defense, spells and knowledge skills in actual heroes III. They´re limited to our creative intelligence. Diablo II is more convenient (and thus cheating in Diablo is ever useless because it destroys virtually anything you´ve made with your skills and tons of hours playing).

Anyway, using unlimited moves, even if you need to remember places you´ve get (to diminish 'cheating' side effects and give you the ´right´ to cheat in order to continue from where you´ve crashed).... using unlimited moves is a good breakthrough. However, you will lose many many minutes, too... and you will have to apply cheat on all your heroes (and created ones, as you did in the old crashed game), and make a ´race´to improve their skills and experience level (okay, the sAME number of experience level may be reached ONLY with a trainer).

UNlimited moves to kills enemies + cheating trainer to change hero skills and experience to the same as the former heroes in the crashed game is much better than ´next level trigger´. I agree with you....It avoid people to use this without control.
But we still need this trainer. People around here has made trainers for A.Blade using only for RED teams, others did a trainer only to increase gold and resources to a fixed value and so on....

Hey I´ve found a file, "heroes_iii_ab_2_1.zip" (if you or anyone want to test it....). You need gamecheater 1.2 program (~620k)
to use this file, and you can change hero primary skills, experiences and so on....

A nice way to recover from a crashed game! Cute
