Hero Academy Catch-All

Pages

I'm having a horrible time connecting today, anybody else having the same problem?

I am as well, but I'm betting there is a large amount of people that are reinstalling, buying Tribe and others, and the immense amount of testing games is probably kicking their servers pretty hard

I added an iOS tab to the GWJ game usernames doc. Don't know how to properly copy the format from the other tabs, so maybe someone could help with that.

Thanks for those links, athros. Just sent you a challenge.

Hopefully they get things fix. Tribes team looks brutal. That team is going to force me to count the opponents moves more often. Can't be lazy anymore.

Sweet! I'll grab the challenge in a little bit. I tend to compile loads of information on games, so it's nice that it's helping someone else!

I added my name to the spreadsheet (I think).

Yea. They're nuts. All out aggression. Thus far, once they start grab the tempo, they get more and more brutal. I wonder if they get stopped, how that will effect them on the whole.

I got your invite cyrax.... I'm still having trouble with connection stuff. I'm hoping till that blows over before I start any new games. It's been acting all day.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app? It seems to be one of the solutions.

There's also server maintenance starting in about 5 hours to increase capacity.

Hit me up on shoptroll if anyone wants some easy wins. Still trying to get better at this. Maining Council until I actually figure this game out

Actually everything is working great now. I just got the iPad version going and it looks amazing! It will be hard going back to the iPhone, feels like more of a board game with that big screen.

Also might use the

It's my 2nd game with Dark elves I'm in 3 other games as Dwarves vs. Tribes, so I was going to try something different.

Are you usually exclusively dwarf?

I'll put the strategy guide links in here as well.

Links to strategy guides

http://www.robotentertainment.com/fo... - this is the guide I started with

http://wyattcheng.blogspot.com/2012/... - There are more pages on his blog. Good stuff.

http://thejamesreview.com/hero-acade... - There is more on this site as well. This is top notch information

http://www.destructoid.com/a-starter... - Another starter guide

Those are the main links I go to to look for strategy. I'm open to any challanges, if you're learning, just let me know in the in game chat, and I'll help as much as I can. I'm not an expert, so my advice might not be perfect.

I'll update this post should more strategy guides and such become available.

There is also a league at: robotentertainmentfans.com. I'd join a goodjer league as well!

EDIT 05APR12: The writer of the Comprehensive guide started his own blog. Link.

Yep. Started playing them when I finally started getting Hero Academy. I played Dark Elves once and won, but it was a pretty boring match to me, so I went back to Dwarves. I suck with them, but the matches are fun.

Still working on Dwarf strategies, especially with the changes in the patch. I've also got 10 games going right now, 9 as Dwarves - 5 of those vs Tribe, 3 vs Dark Elves, and 1 vs Council, and the game with you, Dark Elves vs Tribe.

Worst item/hero load out ever in my first game vs. Crockpot, even after swapping some out. All knights, clerics, and item buffs. Yay randomness.

Council is a good call. I'll send you a challenge in a little bit.

So is this iOS only?

Bah ha ha ha

Actually I would want knights and clerics out of the gate first, along with amor/life buffs for the knights. Set yourself up on the right tiles, then hopefully get archers and wizard soon after.

For the time being. They're working on an Android version - Link.

Edit: Bah! Too slow!

For now, they are working on Android devices, but you know how that goes. Takes a lot more work.

I can see this doing well on Facebook, but I'm sure the development and facebook policy would be weird.

I'm still surprised it's not on Facebook or G+. Or that they haven't opened up a Flash or Unity based version on their website.

So the game is free now on the app store. I decided not to download it because I hear it's not that good.

*ducks*

Wait...you had to spend money to download it? When? *goes and looks at appshopper* Never!

Yes. Stay away. It's horrible. *looks at list of 10 running games* Just horrible.

Oops, checked it out after this thread and thought I found a deal, sorry.

No worries

Dwarves are on sale right now, but the game has always been free.

Done. No more ads...

That's funny because I totally forgot this game has ads until you buy your first team. If remember right they were really annoying.

They got more so after the Tribe update. After your turn a near fullscreen ad pops up.
