Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Did you know?
nr. 171 – 180

War machines are unaffected by Luck and Morale, with the exception of the Ballista, which can land a lucky strike.

On the adventure map, a town that has built a Capitol looks like a fort with an additional flag on top.

With the Basic Intelligence secondary skill and 3 points of Knowledge, hero Daremyth starts with 37 spell points—the highest opening mana pool in the game.

Angels are the only units in the game that switch from occupying a single hex to two hexes upon being upgraded.

During a siege, any attacking or defending units in the moat suffer an additional 10% damage from non-magical attacks and have their Defense reduced by 3.

Magic Springs span two tiles, allowing you to collect their bonus twice in a single week by visiting each tile with a different hero.

Although most of the Enchanters’ spells are Level 1, they still cannot cast them on Cursed Ground terrain, where only Level 1 spells are normally allowed.

The regeneration ability granted by the Elixir of Life artifact does not fully restore the top unit’s health each turn; it only regenerates up to a maximum of 50 HP per turn.

A creature affected by the Hypnotize spell cannot open a drawbridge during a siege or block its allied ranged units.

Cyclops and Cyclops Kings can attack siege walls even when surrounded by enemy units. Cyclops Kings throw boulders with Advanced Ballistics efficiency, while regular Cyclops use Basic Ballistics efficiency.
