When i play hotseat with my friend we usually have 2 computer enemies, but when the enemies are having their turns it takes like 10 min for them to finish. it's really frustrating, and i have been searching for someone with the same problem, but without any luck. I would really like someone to tell my if there's any way to make their turns go faster. i have tried to set all the movement actions to the max, but that's not working.. it's really taking all of the joy away, when your only able to play like 3-4 turns every hour. please someone. help me and my friend!!!

Well, sadly we are ALL having the same problem… and no, there's no fix.

The better the CPU & GPU the faster it goes, but it's still gonna be annoyingly slow…

…

Let's just hope (and pray) that they make Heroes VI a LOT better in terms of coding (/SPEED)!

Well, better CPU and GPU is not the biggest problem as you have already pointed out. I had much trouble on seven lakes map yesterday when I played lan. On those machines where:
Intel E8400 and Intel E8500 dual processors.
Radeon 4870 512 and 1024 mb cards.

Are HOMM programmers totaly hopeless in terms efficient coding? Sorry if this seems like an insult to the admins on these pages, but when a game comes out with hopeless long waiting time this questing must be asked. I love HOMM, but if the next one does not get better I will not buy it. Please send your gaming programmers some more education, or get somebody with better knowledge of efficiant programming in charge.

hhahaha I returned to homm3 not because I like it more, but because duration of the game. Try a hotseat 8 players (5/6 computers) on hommV and tell me how much you have enjoyed the game...

AI in Heroes V is really bad-programmed...

no excuse about game mechanics
just Nival programming level very poor....that are the explanations....

but at least it's possible to control the time they're playing...

the solution for TotE version:

go to file named « user_a2.cfg »
you can find it in your profile folder from « My Documents\My Games\ » etc etc

so open user_a2.cfg and search

setvar ai_time_limit =

and replace value by 3600 or a product of...
so, you will reduce a big piece of time of their turn....
but don't forget:
least they have the time to play and more they will do nothing in the game....

P.S for other version than ToTE, I think the file is "user.cfg" (Base) and "user_a1.cfg" (HoF)
