Is it a good idea to buy land, make a farm, and found a small agricultural town and grow from there? I've always dreamed of this, but I imagine that even thinking about it would cost me my life in debt and thst I'd be unable to earn enough money for it by working for a few years.

Don't even start with me.
>you will never play heroes3 for the first time ever again
buying land and building a farm seems idyllic until the first round of paperwork, then it's a hassle
then there's the endless trips to some jewish lawyers office, then the endless bullshit meetings at city hall to get everything approved, then after a few months of endless unforeseen expenses and bullshit laws you have to follow, you realize that you won't actually make any money the first decade if you account for the costs, and you realize farming is endlessly more complicated than you anticipated and you just go back to shitposting and complaining about social justice warriors because honestly, it's easier
>>79721070
>he uses lvl1 spells
i would usually play dungeon or rampart, get magic immune dragons and then spam armageddon or inferno
you can do it if you have lots of spare cash.
i must advise against taking loans for buying farm land - you wont be making any money for a long time, so the debt will end up crushing you.
also rampart is shit. necropolis and dungeon are best!
>>79721194
Norway speaking the truth
Just get a job as a jew lawyer, it's way easier.

>Not embracing the double growth 7th tier creature and early game BS with fast heroes and sprites
Conflux are the masterrace fortress are literally 'muh defensive cuckshed' the faction. Stronghold is okay but I find the flavour sort of bland, kind of like Inferno.
>>79721194
Used to play it with my dad and little sister on hotseat and didn't know what the fuck I was doing because I was like 7, best memories.
>>79720939
fucking maplecuck can only win with double lvl 7 growth town. also tower sucks balls on anything other than babbys 1st difficulty. I bet you play solmyr too. I would kill you irl
if you dont play FORTRESS you suck

yeah good luck getting armageddon.
>>79720939
You could win every map with those centaurs

Sure because Sprites and Storm Elementals aren't god tier early game. fuck off with your BS.

>>79721763
there are characters you can select that start with meteor shower or inferno, after that it's just a matter of getting enough towns and you're guaranteed to get armageddon eventually
>>79721802
conflux is gay as fuck but objectiveltly the best town. their lvl 1 is fast with no no retaliation. lvl 7 is double growth and the fastest unit from a town. plus you can fucking buy magic skills straight up.

You don't do something like that for the money. You do it for the legacy.
My great grandfather did exactly that when he came to the U.S. from Germany. Literally founded a town to support his farm. At it's peak, had a population of about 500 and has stabilized slightly below that now, surrounded by mostly agriculture and some mining.
He had two wives. The first died in childbirth with her 7th child. His 2nd wife gave him 4 more. On average, each of those children produced four grandchildren, plus he imported his 2nd wife's brothers & set them up with their own farms, which produced about 50 more children and grandchildren.
The entire extended family, scattered throughout the U.S. and Canada with a bunch that went back to Germany and a dozen or two in other countries around the world number between 6,000 and 7,000 ... in the last 2 decades, we've lost count because we can't keep a complete database on every birth, death and relocation anymore.
He died on his farm about the age of 70. The farm and the farmhouse now have more or less vanished into the wilderness, just some vacant land 100 miles from nowhere. The town is a gas station a couple stores and houses and little more than a place for local farmers to hang out on Saturday night.
His children inherited almost nothing, just very basic family items and small amounts of cash. But, every one of his children lived, in an era when the mortality rate for newborns was nearly 50%. He made sure a doctor was available in his town.
His legacy is that he lived a long, hard-working life, and his descendants now spread their German bloodlines across the globe, something unimaginable when he left Germany, broke and most of his family slaughtered in wars.
America. Fuck yeah.
farmers are one of the most suicide-prone professions op, get over your 'i wish i lived a simple life' shit. everyone goes through that and we all realize that living like a peasant actually sucks ass.

I guess. I just could never handle it properly. One mistake and half of my fairies where gone.
Specially when I played with friends and there was no going back to another save file
>>79722541
were gone*
>>79720849
As I speak I am on 100+ acres of farmland and raising all my /pol/ approved white kids.
If you want to farm, you need to save up some cash and then buy it. Do not get a loan, do it cash. You may have to leave the states to do so, I had a large farm in Northern Mexico that I was forced to sell a few years back.
Also, work a farm for a season before you buy. Farming is a lot of hard work, and there is ALWAYS fenceline that needs to be checked.
For most, the best way is a hobby farm. Own a few acres, have a big garden, perhaps some animals, and know where you food is coming from, and have a day job to help pay the bills.

Also Battle Mages have an amazing skill pool
And check out the skeleton nigger on his pic

Regulation and that you'll have to purchase new seeds every year will kill you.
>>79722751
russians would disagree with you. go learn to play heroes, campaign babby
>>79722751
ive finished all of the campaigns. reminder i never said it was bad, i said it was boring
>>79722760
Crag Hack is well known as being the strongest hero though, with most Stronghold strats revolving around cheesing out mass hasted behemoths really quickly.
Logistics is really fucking good though.
>>79722760
>Battle Mages
This guy gets it
>skeleton nigger
Holy shit, I never realized
>>79722809
Depends on what you grow.
Liberals pay so much for organic/GMO free crops that you can make a decent living. Also fruit trees are a good way to avoid the "Buy seeds every year" but you have to wait 7-10 years before getting crops.
>>79722809
What? Who bitches about buying new hybrid?
>>79722900
I would always get expert earth magic w/town gate on as many heroes as possible, that would save you a fuck ton of traveling.
But yeah, barbarians need logistics otherwise they get slowed down. I blame the ogres
I was actually watching HOMM3 videos in the background when i accidently upton this thread
rampart = best nostalgia
>>79720939
Conflux was mistake.
>>79723000
What is wrong with buying seeds every year?
My dad does... so do all our neighbours... if you are growing to sell or even just for cow feed then buying new hybrid is totally standard ime
>>79723074
the non combat spells that enabled you to just fucking fly all over the place were just ridiculously overpowered

Shucks.
But anyway I'm more interested in forming a small town than a farm, I kind of asumed you need a farm to make a town.
>>79723550
good luck with those resource requirements. tower is worse than inferno
>>79722397
Every single word of that happened. And more. That's the condensed story.
We have 7- to 10-day a family reunion every five years where we rent out small, remote resorts (usually some recreational lake with ~200 cabins and grounds for tents and RVs). Different region of the U.S. each time so that different families can make it depending on their circumstances. Between 1000 and 1500 family show up during the course, some for the whole time (usually the elder generations) and some for a day or two.
>>79723170
If you're talking about the spell 'fly' then it was still as limited to your movement on foot.
Little overlooked fact though, using it would reduce the rough terrain movement penalty to zero
If you're talking about every spell that greatly enhanced your ability to move across the adventure map (IE, dimension door, Water walk, etc) rarely do I ever pick those up at expert level any sooner than the last 20% of the map. As far I'm concerned, It just speeds up the inevitable
>>79723198
reeeeeeeeeeeeeee indeed. What's ever more aggravating is if you try and settle for air magic instead but can never find dimension door
>>79723345
looks awesome. Wasn't there a bootleg fan version that brought the forge to life?
>>79723693
Fucking this. People always seem to forget that your global logistics in heroes was often more important than your combat skills
>>79723693
Yeah they are pretty bad. Mainly the titans. But it's not hard to farm the gems if you get that one ogre bitch and resource silo to help produce that 2 gem a day.
>>79723693

Wasn't there like a ultimate artifact that boosted necromancy by a shit ton? Or was that the holy grail for that team. I never used necromancers too much.
