Might & Magic: Heroes Kingdoms browser game recruiting!

[kyrax12]

I am wondering if anyone is going to mess with us.

We have like the biggest group in our like region.

In the regional view, you should be able to see yellow dotted lines to the square that your heroes are traveling to.

As far as canceling movement, I believe that that does not work.

Be sure to use http://mmhk.jactari.info/fight before you do an attack, lets you figure out losses, experiment, helps you understand the way combat works.

how did you see you got an item? was it in an email? i just cleared one of the outer rings, dont think i got an item

I got an item, but didn't see it until later. I did see some mercury near the top of the battle results screen though. That's probably where items show up too.

You can check your hero's inventory to see if you missed an item you got.

Get the GreaseMonkey script for FireFox too. Saves so much time on data entry. It sets up your Hero's attributes and the enemy units for you.

I've just used the Jactari one so far. Not sure how Le Scribe works and Le Vigie isn't getting the entire scout report details exported.


RANDOM TIP: If you have spells, you can choose which round of battle you want the spell cast.

 

[Pheran]

bleh, I've totally lost interest with this game. Anyone want to take over my account, just reply to this message and I'll send you info. way slow and I simply don't have the time to keep everyone doing what they need to do.

No idea if I got my guys started on the wrong foot, but there ya go.

I'm a mage clan, btw.

Sorry to lose you Zin, you are in second place in our alliance for domination.

how did that happen? I haven't touched anything in more than 24 hours...and I was in like 7th at that point.

have people been wiping out their armies clearing the outer zones while I just sit on mine?

I've only cleared one of the outer spaces, built two research towers, and let my main suck up time doing incremental improvements, consolidate army into one of the heroes and sit around waiting for new recruits to become available.


pl;us...I'm the freaking MAGE clan, and I don't have ONE FUCKING SPELL on a single hero after 4 days. what the hell is this shit? yes, I ahve one level tower (which I can't access), two heroes with above average magic ability, spell-casting careers...but nothing.

blah. anyway, still available!

 

[kyrax12]

Pheran is it viable to attack someone or loot their mines right now?

Noobie law, can't attack or be attacked for first 15 days.

 

[meltdown75]

one of my heroes finally made it to level 2 0_0

It was in the battle report.

Did you train one of your heroes in a spellcasting class? As long as you have a mage tower and a hero trained in a spellcasting class, you should be able to get a spell. I have a dark wizard with a sickness spell (which admittedly sucks at his currrent skill level).

 

[JTsyo]

I'm also Academy. For my heroes the first two casting classes are grayed out. I had one hero go as priest and the other as summon and they got spells (heal and something with fist) with the first mage tower. I'm having trouble getting infantry, just finished the building this morning. They only replenish at 10 per day. Think the first unit building I put down will have to be for them.

For building up the slots around your city, the way I see it is like this. You have 4 free slots around your city next to your mines. There are 3 research buildings for your mines (gold doesn't have a building). If you build one building next to each mine (you get a 20% bonus for that) then that leaves one slot free. This free slot could be part of a T for you unit buildings to be placed with a field in the center (bonus for putting unit buildings near a field).

Gold seems to be the bottleneck since you need it for almost everything (building, upgrading, recruiting). Right now I have a 10K income and I am upgrading my mine and town hall, that should put me at 14K plus the mine bonus (10%). I also got one of my heroes as a merchant so that I can sell resources with a bonus. How is others' income looking?

 

[Daverino]

Gold is certainly the bottleneck. I would strongly recommend against getting a third hero right away. You'll quickly find they run out of things to do because of lack of gold and army. In the early part of the game, it looks like there's little reason to rush because you're just going to run out of resources in a day or so.

I started a second game on the other server to see if I could do better. One thing I've found is getting a Leader with Harangue is very useful early on. It gives a five point bonus to all units which can be a 5 to 7% increase in strength for low level units. Research towers aren't important early on, but dwellings are. You'll need to up your recruiting levels fairly soon because your army will wear thin.

 

[rivan]

All I've been doing for the last few days with my 2nd and 3rd heroes is scouting my neighbors.

I've been upgrading my mines and building as much as possible, but the resources for the next few buildings are like 20-ish ore and wood, plus some mercury. Nevermind the gold cost.

At my current incomes, that's 4+ days, which is a little laughable for one building (and I have at least 2 that cost around that).

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

Ugh, i didn't notice you can reroll for a hero and I got some weird tranny looking sorcerer. I also think I could have stuck with one or two heroes for the time being.

OK I see how the battles work.

So if you have an overage of guys they'll fight the next row down from the enemy, so you have to take into account the paper/rock/scissor thing. I was just setting up guys haphazardly.

ok, so I see that two of my mage heroes, including main have access to a cavalry swarm spell, but I still can't teach them, yet. --one hero doesn't have "a magic point" --started at 0, yet has scholastic & strong advancement in magic? really...what the hell is that?

my main is on a mission.

 

[astralusion]

Scholastic is super slow. I have a guy who is double scholastic. Level 3, 1 atk 1 def.

Also as far as building placement. I would say DON'T put research towers in your inner ring. That space should be saved for forts.

Research towers can go in the outer ring, and then there is still space for the dwellings and accompanying fields.

Well, I screwed that up ...

The 'scholastic' describes the point gain curve. It's slow at the beginning, then accelerates later. There are other options with different skill curves, like fanatical which is fast at the start, but then slows later.

I'd think there's absolutely no up side to having a skill curve that peaks later, but I dont really know.

The 'strong' describes the final skill number (I think strong caps at 60).

now that I'm 5 or 6 days in all I can think about is how heavily I've fucked up so far lol

 

[meltdown75]

i'm probably fucking up just as heavily, or more so

 

[zinfamous]

this.

let me know if you want a secondary fucked-up account!

apparently, I'm pretty high in domination, but super low in honor.

how is honor calculated?

 

[eldavo]

how is honor calculated?

From here:

Domination, honor, & wealth
There's m ore than one way to play MMHK. Players on each server are ranked in three categories: domination (territory controlled), honor (battles honorably won -- you gain little honor for picking fights with opponents weaker than you), and wealth (self-explanatory).

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

i'm probably fucking up just as heavily, or more so

aha same here

 

[astralusion]

Domination deals with value of buildings and value of troops.

Honor is amount of experience gained.
