I agree about achievements, now they only look pretty and when you finish game you can make screenshot and that`s it they have no other use. And some of them are totally retarded - Heartless you need to lose 10.000 units ,and i read somewhere summoned units count toward it. WTF ? For trapper medal, summoned units arent counted, so why would they count for this ???
Other then being useless, they are just something you do no matter the gameplay :
- deal 1million dmg, no problem you`ll do it eventually
- complete at least one item set, this depends on your luck with random items in game
- gather 75 items in whole game, also doable.
- defeat 250 enemy, i guess you have to win at least that may battle before end of game (i read that there is around 700 battles in whole game so 250 is no problem
- collect 250 chests also a joke
But there art some that you wouldnt even think off without some guidance :
- win 25 battles in a row without replenishing your army
- win 50 battles without spells/rage. WHY ???? And then on other hand deal 500.000 dmg with spells and upgrade all Valkyries to 5th lvl. This achievements are contradicting each other
- defeat spider in 15 turns / defeat Loki in 10 turns, hard for ppl going no-loss. But in the end no loss is only personal choice.
Etc, etc...
If game have skills upgradeable, and medals, and spells, and rage ksills, wtf did they implement useless achievements for ????

In TL, i could kite all the way to Demonis and back 2 or 3 quests after the tutorial.

How ? For freedom islands you had to defeat turtle, and for map from lucky James you had to defeat him (at least 12 lvl, since he was 15 and had big army), or buy it for 100K gold, also you must fight for it since it was impossible to gather that amount just running around (i think, not 100% sure). But after that yea, path to Demonis was open, and then again for Elven lands you had to free dwarf prince battle vs demon hero 18 lvl if i recall right.
And then came AP/CW and kiting aplenty Hero 1st lvl scouting Reha and gathering free quests for 4000-6000exp without fighting, and returning to Debir with 20 lvl and full dragon army ))

When you only have 1 type/race of units available at start of game, what strategy is required in choosing your troops???????????

I dont think players were so limited in start of TL, you start with access to Greenwort , Arlania, Verlon forest, and Marshan swamp and have available human , bunch of neutral some undead and alchemist(swamp) units so it was much better then WotN on start.

Back in Armored Princess, the most damage I could do in a single stack attack (not ball of lightning) was close to 34K.

I cant believe in this, are you sure ? i managed 436K dmg , it was almost end game but it was highest ever seen. Warrior with 2x+1 dmg items (whip +1 fire, dager +1poison) , girl power set +3 moral/100% crit to female, and around 4K fairies and gorgunas for blood mark x2dmg to enemy. It was whole battle preparing for that hit, but it was fun to watch

In the end after you remembered some things from TL, i`ll advertise mod HoMM3 Babies for TL, check it in that part of forum i promise fun with it
