Heroes of Might and Magic V - Story 2, Campaign 3, Mission 5 - The Decoupling

Fantasy game art from Heroes of Might and Magic V.


S2C3M5 The Decoupling

The final battle in Hammers of Fate is meant to be the siege of Tor Hrall, by either Haven or fortress troops you are provided with after liberating Horncrest and the Stag Duchy. However, it is possible to not only assemble a sizable army of Inferno troops, but also to capture Tor Hrall with Ylaya and Isabel before liberating Horncrest and joining forces with Duncan and Wulfstan.
The following combat replays were recorded from playing Hammers of Fate in the Tribes of the East game engine, and therefore you will see some grey inferno troops that are alternate Inferno unit upgrades introduced in Tribes of the East.
In using Inferno forces, we also discover something interesting: That the adversary, King Torghal, is scripted to always have maximum mana all the time. In the first video, we see that the demonic Familiars have drained him of all his mana early in the siege, but he nevertheless is restored to his full amount.
The remaining videos show three different replays: A human-controlled Ylaya, an AI controlled Ylaya using the AutoCombat function, and the rarely-used Armageddon in play as Ylaya's Warlock skills allow that spell to harm even normally fire-immune units.

Here are two basic Titan Quest models in their "underwear" (when a character is wearing no armour). Incidentally, it took two years before someone managed a game modification to remove the skirt . Here are two characters modified with the AllSkins mod (now included in the unofficial fan patch ). AllSkins Mod version 0.7

The Bard's Tale - Dun Ailinne Treasure Map

Fantasy art from The Bard's Tale fantasy role playing game. This cutscene features dialogue from the Houton blacksmith concerning his treasure map. Although the Bard being scammed is entirely in keeping with the overall tone of the game world, the treasure map was in fact a good one, as Dun Ailinne hides, among other things, the Golden Spyglass, which increases all future treasure finds by 10%.
