As per your request :)
How good are Centaurs and Centaur Captains in Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Horn of the Abyss expansion (Homm3 HotA)? Let's find out!
In this video, I also try a more granular scoring system. The old one is kept along as well for the sake of consistency. Feel free to comment what you think of the new system :)
****
00:00 Rules & Centaurs
08:30 Centaur Captains
****
The unit tested will face six trials:
- Castle Attack
- Battle vs. A Horde
- Battle vs. Elite
- Battle vs. Missile Units
- Battle vs. Army
- Castle Defense
They will score points from these, as well as from abilities in campaign map, construction chain costs and from the army costs. The army is determined by 20 weeks of growth. The tested units will be controlled by human, and tactics can be used.
I hope you enjoy the video :)
If you are a fan of Heroes 3 or play the game, check this video out. You learn new things about the game in terms of unit cost-effectiveness especially regarding Centaurs and Centaur Captains.

They seem to rather strong for T1 :) Thanks for the comment.

Love the new scoring🎉 Just when did You had time to recalculate all those matches 😮 xcel? or Gut feeling 😅? THX for the upload

@qualityoldhomm-rd3yu 25 дней назад

Thanks for the comment. It was just utilizing the results I had put into the excel :)

In WoG Centaurs can shoot (with normal melee damage) and do +200% dmg to Gnolls, Captains loose the shooting ability, but have the charge bonus to dmg (like Champions) and deal +200% to Gnoll Marauders.

Nice :) Thanks for the comment.

@johannordgren2126 26 дней назад

am I odd for thinking the low tier (1-3) videos are much more interesting than the mid tiers (4-5)? also thumbs up for the more granular scoring! poor walking dead/zombies at the bottom, their only saving grace being that they have a good hp/gold ratio.

@qualityoldhomm-rd3yu 25 дней назад

Thanks for the comment. Well, at least those low tier vids usually require much more careful micro - at least vs horde battle :)

The AI really hates catapults... Oooh, the new granular stats breakdown is nice.

@qualityoldhomm-rd3yu 25 дней назад

Thanks for the comment. The plan is to include both of them in the future :)

@Raukodor 26 дней назад

Imagine centaurs have ranged attack too as was supposed to be

@qualityoldhomm-rd3yu 25 дней назад

Quite op :) Thanks for the comment.

@kamilwiesak2404 25 дней назад

actually they have ranged attack (only non upgraded ones tho) but only in wog not hota :( (they get ranged attack after like 50% exp cap)

@qualityoldhomm-rd3yu 24 дня назад

@@kamilwiesak2404 Thanks for the comment. Sounds like a rather strong T1 unit but then again quite a few WoG units tend to get quite nice buffs :)

@kamilwiesak2404 24 дня назад

@@qualityoldhomm-rd3yu yea, some units in wog are very bad but when they get enough exp they are beasts, centaurs getting ranged attack might seem overpowered and it is but they get only 4 (later 8 projectiles)

@Jutrzen 23 дня назад

@@kamilwiesak2404 But they lose the ability after upgrade.

@xxelhomm1327 26 дней назад

Oi, appreciate the effort but I prefer the regular score. Bigger numbers are just looking very messy and it complicates the understanding of scoreboard from viewer's pov.

@KutaphoneX 26 дней назад

For me the detailed score is better, you get more precise info after every battle ( results may vary much more than in 8-degree scale ) but I like the old one aswell :)

@qualityoldhomm-rd3yu 26 дней назад

Thanks for the comment. Yea, those large numbers can be a bit intimidating :) I think I will include both :)

@SliceOfFish 24 дня назад

The granular system solves the problem where the upgraded creature clearly performs better but still gets the same number of points. But I'd prefer a decimal score like 1.2/8 for each category and rounded final score.

@qualityoldhomm-rd3yu 23 дня назад

Thanks for the comment. Yea, that could be one way to do it :)

@Parasmunt 26 дней назад

I think this could be the weakest town, Centaurs and Elves are great, dendroids are useful but the rest is relatively poor.

@cmlcml415 26 дней назад

The RNG god Unicorn disagrees

@qualityoldhomm-rd3yu 26 дней назад

Thanks for the comment. Imo its main problems are expensive buildings and huge requirements of crystal. :)

@crossmodulation9730 26 дней назад

Unicorns are strong and cheap. Dwarves are good meatshields and Pegasi are fast with okay damage. Gold Dragons have high speed, attack and defense.

@belisarian6429 26 дней назад

Forrest army is not weakest, it has good utility of units and also they are cheap so unlike towns like Heaven it can buy whole army every week without problems.
