How to use this creature in practice

Ranged stack requiring usable line of sight

War Troll needs line of sight to an important target. Position the screen against actual enemy reach; repeated ranged actions matter only when the enemy cannot quickly engage it.

Watch for: Distance, obstacles, engagement and ammunition are separate conditions. A ranged attribute alone does not guarantee full damage against every target.

Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan

Read Speed 5 under Heroes II rules. Map the enemy’s next action before approaching; skipping a turn is not Heroes III’s Wait.

  • Regenerates health during combat. Regeneration is separate from recruiting lost creatures.

Reference ↗

Where to obtain and develop this creature

This form uses the upgraded dwelling; construction cost is not the retraining price.

Growth and construction prerequisites (3)

Growth support is not another recruitment site. A prerequisite may unlock one of the recruitment forms.

Reference stack cost and health

These values multiply every resource in the undiscounted reference price and full base health. Hero, equipment, spell, price and growth modifiers are excluded. This is neither final damage or battle survival nor a guarantee that the listed number is available to recruit.

Reading this profile correctly

Numbers and abilities use the stated pinned fheroes2 revision. Rules do not automatically match Heroes III or every historical DOS version.

Resource costs are part of recruitment. For an entire stack, multiply every component, not just gold. Base growth excludes additional town, map and hero bonuses. Zero shots means no regular ranged attack; the creature can still have spells or other active abilities.

Original roster scope

66 actual Heroes II creatures including upgrades and neutrals. Values and abilities follow the pinned fheroes2 revision; random editor placeholders are excluded. Prices are per creature, growth is the base weekly value, and combat stats exclude hero, artifact and spell bonuses.
