HEROQUEST - COMPANION APP discussion

[Naniyue]

I find many enemy movement choices in either program unrealistic, and so I use my own rules in such situations. In HQGM, you may move the monsters however you like, but I don't see this in the Companion as of yet.

I finally got to the Silent Passages of ROTWL again. The Companion conked out once on the second turn for the Dread Mist. After that, things went smoothly.

Yesterday I finished Quest 7: The Archives of Arboranis(?) of PoT. I can now confirm monsters will not approach you if you are not in range. Line of sight not required. There were a few instances in this quest when I had a hero turn a corner to see a monster in the distance. The monsters could clearly see my hero and just stood there. I was able to defeat some of the monsters by just standing still and taking pot shots with my crossbow.

There was one instance in which a previously revealed orc ran through unrevealed territory to attack a hero because I took one step too many and happened to be in range, proving it’s a range related issue. This is definitely a v2.1 bug or glitch in the app.

Also each time a wandering monster appeared, the app would try to make the bearer roll 2 red dice again to resist the Talisman, even though it supposed to be at the beginning of the bearer’s turn. I just ignored these extra dice roll requests.

I finally had an excuse to use Veil of Mist, and confirmed that it does not work in the Companion.

Yep, broken since at least v.2.0, sadly.

I don't know if it has been mentioned on here before, but hQuestBuilder designed quests can now integrate with a system that will allow you to have a virtual Zargon for your homebrew quests - if you hit the 'Play on hQuestMaster' button on this quest you'll see it in action:

Not my work, it's all done by a very clever fella called Ryuasd, but a rather magical enhancement to homebrew quest building, for those who want to learn the syntax called QuestDown:

Maybe it's a pipe-dream that the official app may, one day, support homebrew... or HQB files!

!!!!! Thank GOD for the yeti hug breaks option !!!!!

This is my first time playing The Frozen Horror. I decided to play the Pulse quest "Into the Northlands" first. Even with the yeti hug break rule, I just BARELY made it! Thanks to my bad rolls, I used up many resources, but was somehow lucky with the hug break rolls. Funny enough, if I had taken the crossbow with me, things might have been a little easier. Maybe. I think.

So YES, use the Yeti hug breaks rule or you are DOOMED!!!!

Also, thank you Squidgem0nster for those links! I look forward to using them!

Even with each volume level completely turned down, I can just barely hear everything, so it's not a true mute. I could be wrong, but I don't remember that happening a couple versions ago.

I noticed that some time ago and thought maybe it was an emulator thing. Are you on Android or iOS?

[Naniyue]

Bluestacks. Could be why for all I know.
