2 Introduction
2.1 What is HOMM II?
-Heroes of Might and Magic II is the sequel to Heroes of Might and Magic
which is itself a sequel of the game King's Bounty. HOMM II, like its
ancestors, is a fantasy based strategy game of war and resource
management. The characters, monsters, and settings are loosely based the
Might and Magic universe established in the five role playing games of
the same name. The game is played out in turns not real time. Most games
take less that four hours to play.
2.2 So is HOMM II like .......?
-There are many turn based strategy games that appear similar to HOMM
II. Managing the castles feels a lot like Civilization. Moving the
Heroes around feels like Master of Magic. Combat feels like Master of
Orion and Panzer General. In truth, there is no game like Heroes of
Might and Magic II. Well, except for Heroes of Might and Magic I.
2.3 What are the differences between HOMM I and HOMM II?
-There were many improvements. New to HOMM II were:
-Two new character classes: Necromancer and Wizard
-12 New Monsters
-Upgrade able dwellings that draw more powerful troops.
-New types of buildings: A trading post to trade for needed resources,
-A larger battle area.
-Castles' defenses can be upgraded.
-A campaign mode were one mission will effect the next
-You can hire captains to defend towns and castles instead of taking
up a valuable hero.
-Heroes have secondary skills.
-Slower units like Dwarves move faster and thus are more usable.
-The graphics have been updated with hand painted computer models.
-Winning isn't always dependent on destroying all other players.
-IPX and TCP/IP protocols are now supported.
-Opera Music.
2.4 What is the appeal of HOMM II?
-Beauty is often hard to define. Some people like the strategy element,
the resource management, the beautiful graphics and music, the fantasy
setting, the rock solid code, and/or the turn based nature of the game.
I'm sure those aren't all the reasons, but you get the picture.
2.5 What are the system requirements?
-DOS: 486/66 or higher, 8 megs of ram, and 2x cdrom
That being said, some people have been running The Dos version HOMM II
on 486 sx 25s and are happy with it.
-Win95 486/66 or higher, 8 megs of ram (I would say 16) and 2x cdrom
Both the Dos and Win95 versions of the game will run on a 386 sx16 with
8 megs of ram. In fact testing was done on a 386 sx25 system. However it
is reported that it was painful.
-68040 or Greater, Accelerated for Power Mac. Minimum Requirements: 7
MB free RAM, CD-ROM drive, 50 MB hard drive space, 13" monitor, 256
colors, System 7.5.3 or greater.
2.6 Can I run HOMM II under Win NT?
-Yes. Version 4.0 of NT workstation supports the DirectX drivers needed
to run HOMM II. It is recommended that you have at lest 32 megs of ram.
2.7 Is there a demo and if so, where is it?
- Yes!. It is 27 megs and available for download from http://www.nwcomputing.com/heroes2/h2demo.html.
Also it will probably be available on all the major CD magazines such as
PC Gamer and Computer Gaming World.
2.8 Where can I buy HOMM II?
-HOMM II can be found in bargin bins for as low as $19.95 along with its
expansion pack, which sells as low as $9.95. (US) The best way to buy it
is in the a specal package that sells for $39.95 athat comes with
everything in the HOMM series. King's Bounty, HOMM I, HOMM II and the
HOMM II expansion pack.
2.9 Should I buy HOMM II?
-Yes. Its really a great game.
3 General Questions
3.1 Is it my imagination but isn't HOMM II a lot harder than HOMM I?
-Yes. It appears that not only the computer players are getting
advantages that the human player doesn't, but the maps are designed to
favor the computer players. Also, some of the scenarios appear to have
their level of difficulty mislabeled.
3.2 That is all well and good but can you help me stop the computer
players from kicking my butt?
-I can not give you any sure fire tips. I have lost more games that I
have won. On top of that, this is a FAQ and not a strategy guide. I can
give you some observations that may help.
-At the beginning of the game, all players, computer and human, are
about even. So expand quick and fast. As time marches on, the computer
players appear to get special bonuses making them harder to kill later
in the game.
-Heroes from strongest to weakest: Warlock, Wizard, Necromancer,
Barbarian, knight, and Sorceress.
-Computer players will almost always attack troops that fire first. So
try to organize your slow/powerful troops next to your firing troops.
-Gather resources as fast as you can. Sure can buy anything you need
via the marketplace but you really need a steady supply of everything.
-If all else fails, try posting to the newsgroup:
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic
3.3 What is this Might and Magic VI preview found in the game?
-At the beginning of the game, click on the glowing, unmarked door on
the left and you'll see a series of sceen shots for NWC's next episode
of the RPG series.
3.4 What language is the Opera music and where can I buy a CD of it?
-The opera in HOMM2 is in German. All the music, including the opera, is
original works commissioned for the game and is only available on the
game.
4 Multi-player Sessions
4.1 Hey! Where's chat?
- While in Battle or looking at the map, press F2. Hit enter to send and
esc to abort. Also you can use [ or ] to change the chat color.
4.2 Is it just me, or does the Hot seat option favor the last player?
- Yes it does. The computer only shows the movement of computer players
in the visible area of the last player. Thus the first players will not
be able to see a computer hero invading his kingdom. You can even the
odds by changing enemy speed to don't show. This also make for a faster
game.
4.3 Can I run a network game with only one copy of HOMM II?
-Yes. Install the game on the guest computers. The master computer is
the only system that has to have the original cdrom in the drive. The
guest computers will be unable to play CD music. Up to six players may
play this way.
4.4 Where can I meet people to play HOMM II over the internet?
-Check out IRC channel #HOMM2 and Holliane Holmes' HOMM II web page at
http://www.swweb.net/~hholmes/heroes/homamii.html
-Check out:
http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arcade/6470/
4.5 Why can't I do anything when other players are taking their turn?
I thought that a simultaneous turn option was going to be allowed?
-See section 5.2.
4.6 Can I play over the Internet using the Dos version of HOMM II?
-Yes. You'll need a program called Kali. SJG writes:
"Reference www.kali.net for basic information. Basically, Kali is a
program that tricks the computer into thinking your PPP/Slip connection
is really an IPX network. Another program, based on the same principles
as Kali, is Kahn. Kahn can be found at www.ladder.com/~nbright. Both are
shareware, Kali is $20, Kahn is $15. This is for lifetime
registration."
4.7 Why can't I type in a 12 digit IP address?
-see section 5.5
4.8 Is it possible for two human players to join forces and share
resources?
-There is no team play option in HOMM II. However, emgreen@net-link.net
has found a hack that will allow you to do this:
"You have to hex edit one of the included team maps, to make it
editable in the Map editor. Change offset 4 to 01 and then you can edit
them. Then edit the map so that the team players can both/all be human
or computer. The only thing you have to worry about, is that if you take
a team members mine, any computer team members will start taking your
resources, and maybe attack you."
4.9 Can I play HOMM II over Mplayer?
- Sure and here's Neal Spears to tell us how.
"Ok, here is how you can play Heroes of Might & Magic II
through Mplayer.
1) Go to www.mplayer.com and download their software, it is totally
FREE!
2) Once the software is downloaded and installed, launch Mplayer and
go to the "Chat Lobby".
3) Here you can make a Room (Click on "Create Room"), call
it whatever you want but it would probably be a good idea to put
"HOMM2" somewhere in the title. Once people join the room, you
can chat (either VOICE or keyboard) and agree on a game.
4) Now, minimize Mplayer and go to the "Start" menu, select
"run" and type "WINIPCFG". This will give you your
IP ADDRESS. The only player that needs to do this is the host of the
game.
5) Go back to Mplayer and tell the other players your IP adress,
launch a game and select Multiplayer, network (TCP/IP), and
"host" (if you are the host). The other players then do the
same thing and select "Join Game" at your IP address.
6) Now you can play! Note that you can keep HoMM2 windowed and keep
Mplayer open in the background, therefore you can play HoMM2 over the
Net with Voice chat! And ALL FOR FREE!!!
-While at the Mplayer web site, check out the "Big Board
BBS", go to "Open for suggestions" then "games"
then "Play HoMM2 on Mplayer NOW!". We can use this forum for
discussing games, tips, etc and to set up times to play.
Hope to see you all there!"
5 Bugs and other related problems
5.1 The crest doesn't take me to the Kingdom Overview screen.
-This feature was changed. As the Kingdom Overview screen grew in
complexity, it was causing confusion.
5.2 During multi player games, the game locks up and I'm unable to do
anything till after the other player takes their turn.
- This isn't a bug, its a feature. The original HOMM performed the same
way. HOMM II was originally was going to allow players to look over
their castles and such while the other player was taking their turn. The
designers couldn't figure out how to include this feature smoothly and
fairly.
5.3 During combat, the game runs awfully slow. What's wrong?
- The cause of this problem is hard to track down. If your running Win
95 and met the minimum requirements here are some possible solutions:
-Add more ram. If your running the Win95 with 8 megs of ram, its
going to be slow.
-Turn your colors down to 256. Hi and True color modes eat processor
time
-Make sure your playing in full screen mode.
-For any version of HOMM II try:
-Turning the music off.
-Change the battle speed to fast.
5.4 Why does the autorun introduction screen pop up sometimes when
the music changes?
- This is a Win 95 and cd rom hardware problem. Some cdroms seem to
handle audio tracking "hicups" differently. Some will try to
correct the problem, others will just drive right through causing audio
breakup and others will reset from the index and search for the track
again. The last method causes Win95 to think a new CD has been inserted
and runs the autorun file again. If your CD rom does this, then the only
option is to turn autorun off from your device manager. The higher
number of auto tracks, the greater the chance this can happen. Since
HOMM I and HOMM II have a large number of tracks, over 50, the chances
are quite great.
5.5 I can only type in 11 digits for the IP address?
-This is a real bug. Go to http;//www.nwcomputing.com to download the
patch that will fix this problem.
5.6 Can I change my modem setting to a none standard IRQ In the Dos
version of HOMM II? I could in HOMM.
-It doesn't appear so but there may be a hack around this. I'll post any
information I receive on this subject.
5.7 Why does the cd-audio keeps skipping and repeating?
-No one is sure why this is happening. The skipping and repeating
doesn't happen to everyone. The CD-audio code is different than HOMM I
so the problem probably lies there. NWC may switch the code in HOMM II
back to HOMM I. Until such time, switch music from CD-audio to midi or
just turn it off. If you use the Win95 version, read 5.8
5.8 The CD audio music repeats and breaks off or I hear nothing at
all in the Win95 version. How can I fix it?
-The problem is with your DirectX drivers. Select add/remove programs
under the control panel. Select DirectX drivers and from there you must
restore your old audio drivers. If that doesn't work, try selecting midi
music from the HOMM II configuration screen.
5.9 Why does junk appear where ever I click and how can I get rid of
it?
- This problem appears in the Win95 version. Its due to a conflict
between your video drivers and DirectX. Try using the HOMM II color
cursors. If that doesn't work, disable your video acceleration.
5.10 Hey! I won a battle and my computer rebooted.
-Assuming you are using Win95, its a DirectX problem. Some video cards
are not 100 compatible with DirectX3. Try downloading the latest version
of DirectX3 and the latest drivers for your video and sound cards. If it
still doesn't work, try using the dos version.
5.11 The hour glass is on all the time. Why?
-Its a DirectX problem. Turn on the color cursors, or hit F4 to switch
back and forth from window and full screen mode, or change the hour
glass icon to a pointing icon.
5.12 Why does the editor keeps crashing when I add things?
-This is one of the bugs the patch will fix. Basically you have added
too many objects of one time and the editor breaks. Go to http://www.nwcomputing.com
to download the patch that will fix this problem.
5.13 Why do I hear nothing when I select CD audio?
-You could possible have no or a broken cd audio cable in your computer.
5.14 I just applied the patch and CD audio doesn't work anymore. It
worked fine before.
-The patch replaces the cd audio code. Most people it helps with the
skipping problems mentioned earlier. Copy the Win 95 HOMM II exe from
the CD to your HOMM II directory. That will take you back to the
original version of HOMMII and still allow you to use the enhanced
editor.
5.15 I tried to install the patch but it failed.
-Make sure the patch is in the same directory as HOMM II before
installing.
5.16 Some spells never show up, is this a bug?
-No, see 6.12
5.17 I summon an element to protect a resource but it doesn't work.
The computer players walk past the element like it wasn't there and I
have a new monster to fight.
-This bug will be fixed in the 1.23 patch that will be released soon.
There is a bonus though to this spell. If you are stong enough to fight
the element without taking damage, you can keep casting and attacking
the element and build basically unlimited experience.
6 The Game
6.1 Why can't I split my troops into multiple stacks?
-You can. While holding down your shift key, mouse click on the stack
you want to split, and drag them to an empty slot. A box will pop up
asking you how many troops you want to place from the original stack
into the new stack.
6.2 I can trade the Fizbin of Misfortune even though I should not be
able to. Is this a bug?
-Its a bug, but hey, I wouldn't complain.=)
6.3 Why is my morale so low?
-You have troops with different alignments. The troops get their
alignment from the type of town they come from. refer to the HOMM II
manual for more information.
6.4 Where are the wandering monsters?
-They are in the game but they don't really wander. The wandering
monsters are the stacks of creatures in the field without a hero leading
them. Later in the game, some weeks have a special "events"
that cause new stacks of monsters to appear. As time goes on, the stacks
become very large.
6.5 Why do I lose troops when going through a whirlpool? Is it a bug?
-No, this is not a bug. Just like in HOMM I, you lose some of your
weaker troops when going through a whirlpool.
6.6 Who gets the first shot?
-The fastest troop goes first. If there is a tie between troops speeds
of the two heroes, the attacker goes first. If there is a tie between
stacks in the attackers army, then the troop stack nearest to the top
goes first.
6.7 What happen to the wait button? Did I miss it?
-During testing, NWC determined that the wait button got in the way of
combat and added nothing. So, it was taken out of the final release.
6.8 How do alignment modifiers work?
-Alignment can effect morale either in negative or positive directions.
The undead have neutral morale and are not effected by positive morale
bonuses from alignment.
--Positive:
---Each level of leadership adds +1
---Troops are all the same alignment adds +1
--Negitive
---Undead + and other troop subtracts -1
---Troops of three types of alignments subtracts -1
6.9 How is the distance a hero may travel determined?
-At the beginning of each day the slowest troop in a hero's army
determines how far he or she may travel in one day. If you remove slow
troops and add fast troops the change takes effect the following day.
Also items such as the Nomad's Boots of Mobility add to the distance a
hero can travel.
6.10 How is score determined?
-You get a set number of points depending on what difficulty level you
start at and a little bit is taken off for each turn. Style and ability
are not involved.
6.11 Can two stacks join into one stack?
-Assuming they are the same type of creatures, yes. Just click on one,
then click on another and they'll join.
6.12 I never seem to get spells like Town Portal. Is this a bug?
-No, it isn't a bug. Some spells are very, very rare. Greg Schneider did
some research on this question and posted the results to Usenet. In
summery, the rare spells were;
First level: none were rare
Second level: Haunt and Visions
Third level: Paralyze, Teleport, and View Town
Fourth Level: Set Elemental
Fifth Level: Summon Elemental and Town Portal.
6.13 What is a True Hero?
-A True Hero is a hero with a large leadership stat.
6.14 How can you tell if a stack of "wandering" monsters
will join, flee, or offer a tribute.
-Straight from programer Phil Steinmeyer's mouth:
" There is a 20% chance (determined at the start of the game) that
a monster stack is a "joiner".
If you have at least twice the force of a stack, and it's a joiner, it
will offer to join for free. If you have twice the force, and its not a
joiner, but you have diplomacy, it will offer to sell out. (i.e.
diplomacy doesn't negate the chance of getting troops for free.)
If you have 5 times the force, and neither of the two above conditions
apply, the monster will try to flee."
7 The Map editor
7.1 Why doesn't the map editor have a random generator feature?
- The official reason is NWC just didn't think anyone used the random
map generator. Its also believed that the new game is so complicated
that a decent random generator couldn't be made. Another reason why NWC
might have not included is the random generator in the HOMM map editor
had a habit of creating unwinable situations and included trash that
could crash the game. This feature has since been added with the HOMM II
patch so if you don't have a button to generate a random map on your
editor, you need to patch the game.
7.2 I was adding a bunch of things to my map and then it crashed.
What happen?
-See section 5.12
7.3 Gee, isn't the Random map feature, TOO random?
-Well, yes. Another reason theorized why the random map feature wasn't
added in the initial release was because that it didn't make descent
maps. As it turns out, the maps aren't that good.
7.4 If the random map feature isn't that good, what is the point of
having it there in the first place?
-The maps its creates can still be lots of fun. Also, it can serve as a
great template creation kit for home made maps.
7.5 What does the numbers mean next to the monsters and the
artifacts?
-The numbers tell you how powerful the stack of monsters will be. M1
might be sprites where as M4 might be Titans. 1 is the weakest and 4 is
the most powerful. R means a random power level will be picked.
7.6 Is there anyway to rotate the map graphics?
-No.
7.7 Is there anyway to debug a map without playing it?
-No. I would also like to state that if you are creating a map for
someone else to play, you really should play it a few times. Besides
working out the bugs, you might fine the map may not be fun to play to
begin with.
7.8 Is there a good set of documentation for the editor?
-The online help is a pretty good source.
7.9 How can I place a town or castle so it will produce a shipyard?
-One of the lower corners of the graphic must be in the water.
7.10 Can I place monsters in the water?
-I didn't think it was possible but Bluntaxe@aol.com figured out a way.
"Normaly you can't put monsters in the water, right. Well if you
put a small bit of land in the water, place a monster on it. Next you
take the water creater and fill in the land part surronding the monster
(be carful not to cover the monster with water) Then the water will
cover all of the land and only the monster reamains. I have tested it
too in the game and they do act like normal in combat and such."

-There are two things on the horizon for HOMM. First there is an Add on
pack is in the making for HOMM II. It is out now. It adds 4 new
camapains, new winning conditions, new artifacts, new heroes, new
events, and new skills. A major addition is the ability to higher ghost.
Second, HOMM III is in the planning stages. Almost nothing is known
about it except its to be very different than HOMM I or II.
8.7 I heard that there are some command line switches. What are they?
/d0 - No digital sound
/i0 - No introduction screens
/m0 - No midi music
/r0 - No CD music
/NWC - Debug mode Win95 version only
8.8 Did New World Computing give out a free strategy guide?
-Yes and No. First, NWC did give out was a small advertising insert in
the magazine PCGamer. It has some strategy tips. Also the HOMMII sold at
warehouse clubs like Sams club, BJs and Pricecosco came with a free
strategy guide.
