Let's talk about this old gem and the slav mod. More than 2 decades after its release, it's growing in popularity. There are tournaments now, and it's fairly popular among streamers. Feels very good.

There seems to be a sharp increase of interest in classic PC gaming, helped by YouTube channels like Sseth, Mandalore, and Civvie.

Hard is default for multiplayer boyo.
>>16886868
That is a good thing, but the average heroes 3 1v1 is 2-3 hours and up to 5 hours. It's not a small time barrier.

200% is the default for multi. Dunno if it was called hard or hardest.
Beware the map generator tho. Random maps seriously benefit one player over the other.

You probably haven't tried playing on the harder difficulties.
Tower has one big problem: Shit's fucking expensive! You need a fuckload of gold and gems to build your stuff and there's not any easy "skips" in your tech tree.
Castle is also expensive but their low/mid tier lineup is better and pretty much all their creatures are great whereas Tower has a bunch of meh/average units such as gargoyles, golems and genies. Also Tower's tier 7 is pathetic without their ruinously expensive upgrade.
I don't get the Rampart hate though. It's a decently priced faction with a strong offensive Tier 1 and you can skip all the slow stuff for later to get to your higher tier units sooner.
Fortress benefits from being dirt cheap and has the ultimate equalizer in the form of mighty gorgons. You can also rush wyverns for a helpful early game power boost even though they are actually a somewhat mediocre tier 6 in the long run.

Fortress starts in a swamp in which it lacks mobility despite being their home terrain. Your start is by default slower with fortress.
Castle is ok. Angels are OP and probably the strongest un-upgraded 7 tier unit.
>rampart hate
I just praised rampart.
>tower expensive
Yes that is true, but master gremlins are the cheapest archer unit in the game, giving you an early game.
The magi building is cancer and the titans are cancer, but otherwise tower is not as expensive as made out to be.
>You probably haven't tried playing on the harder difficulties.
It's either that or you suck at tower.

130% is hard and that's the one which multiplayer community plays including them playing damn scenario maps instead of random maps from varied templates, sadface

also your warning about map generator is half-true, half-misfound, the stock template script for random maps is bad but you have a shitton of good and balanced template scripts, like 8mm6 - which is bread and butter of the random map multiplayer

In the combat view, on the bar at the bottom, there's an options button. You can change it there. Why didn't you look for it before asking?

Tower's the worst faction in the game. Everything they have is too expensive. Titans are pretty good, but they take forever to get. Nagas are decent tier 6 units though. You often need to farm with a powerstack of gremlins until you can afford the top-tier stuff.
>>16888545
>rampart
I put them in the second tier, with dungeon and fortress. They're not busted enough to be among the best towns. Big fan of elves and pegasi. And gold dragons and armageddon can be a fun combo.
>>16888562
lol Vamps are arguably the best creature in the game.

Am I the only guy who thinks that two upgraded genie stacks are good for the buffs along with durable but not extremely expensive lower tier units that Tower gets? But I'm also a massive newfag who only started playing recently Buffed Nagas and Titans shit on dicks everywhere.

I'm guessing you know nothing about this if you're even interested enough to ask.
The "new Forge faction" has nothing to do with heavenly forge or tech-grafted abominations, it's a pure fanfic faction called Factory and its themes are steampunk… and wild west. Halflings with cowboy hats, giant armadillos, big ol' tin men, oh and a rifle-wielding "sharpshooter".

The buffs are pretty useless. They're not consistent enough, and you have to use space in the army that could be for expendable one-stacks to tank retaliations. Genies are fine: They're fast, so you can double-move and dab on slow creatures, but expensive and fragile.
