This place's been quiet long enough...
Since I don't have Heroes IV yet, I'd like to know one thing. In Heroes III Logistics was a must have. How is it with Pathfinding in Heroes IV? Is it as easy to obtain and as useful as Logistics in Heroes III? As far as I know, you just need Basic Scouting for GM Pathfinding and you don't need to develop any other Scouting skills to get Scouting itself to GM. So, is it worth it?

Re: This place's been quiet long enough...
Pathfinding is easy to build to GM level if starting from a thief. Another heroes have to learn first scouting, if its second skill is easy to build up, but if it is 3rd or next skill it will be problem. I usuallly prefer two ways for this:
1) sending thief (or two thieves or even more if it make sense) to learn skills with stealthing. In the meantime i build another magic hero in normal way (fighting with army). When thief has already anough skills then I come back with them and attach them into main army
2) starting with 2 heroes in army, first is magic hero and second (but if it is Haven or Academy there are no thieves in tavern :-( ) is thief or at start only magic hero, to build faster magic skills and then add them thief as secondary. In this way thief does not build stealth skill, so can have GM pathfinding already at 8-10 level. After getting GM pathfinding thief can learn magic skill (another then has first hero) wchich can be very usefull (my favorities is: necromancer + nature (or chaos) and thief with order magic (or live magic)).

Generallly pathfinding in H4 is even more important. In H3 logistic gives only additionally 30% and for hard terrain you needed also pathfinding. In H4 GM pathfinding gives you 50% and no terrain penalty in one box.
And in H4 can't use heroes chains so one fast hero in army is like a treasure.

ok, I found some english ...but the map?
Also the regulamin is not english:( ..or I didn't find it.
I installed H4 on a PC at school and I tried to play a save from this tournament but all the text was in polish:(
So I'm not sure what I have to do there.
But I found the map's interesting..only I DON"T know what is the goal...i press the "I" key but also the info is in polish
So if you have a english version pls. pls. pls. post here a shorcut.

Re: ok, I found some english ...but the map?
As far I know (i have chosen maps for this season, but Raistlin can change this) there will be only one polish map in this season, another one will be created by polish author, but in english version. Some important texts (short quests description) from 3rd map of PA H4 were translated and maybe beause of problems with understand polish this map can be send later (time for this map is over now):
