WOG359，其实我对这个版本真没抱什么期望。
可是总有人一回论坛就问，359出来了没……

好吧，好吧，我回答的是，359还没死，仅此而已


另外我还想问，359有什么好的？会比358好么？
359拖了这么多年，原班人马还剩几个呀？


算了，不发牢骚了，我报点料吧，359beta版去年就发布了，只是我们没有作宣传而已。

下面就发点359的信息吧

2nd Advanced Level: NOBLE

Advanced skill

      
Your long years of studies of the arts of diplomacy and also the years of experience you gained in your father state service now pay off. You gain PERMANENTLY the Expert Diplomacy skill and you won't be affected by any diplomacy skill decreases. Note:

You therefore must consider carefully what stacks you want to join and also upgrade the skill regularily to keep it on expert level.   
4th Advanced Level: KING

CLASS: CLERIC

The development of this class follows the other possibility left for young noble, beeing a second son. His father throne will be occupied by his elder brother and therefore he must find a carreer in a different place. And where else but in the Church!

Every 100 units in bishop's army will grant your congregation additional +1 spell power. On higher congregation levels you also get the opportunity to hire a God emmissary.      

4th Advanced Level: ARCHBISHOP

Life Magic includes the following spells:

	Wrath of Gods spell curses ALL heroes before the very Gods of Erathia. The Gods will take away their granted favour: the effect of Diplomacy secondary skill will be canceled (i.e. no one will join any Hero) for 5 days.
	The Domesticate spell persuades the chosen monster stack to join your Hero's army!

This, among other things, means a knowledge of the way how to send their prayers over the Sundering seas so that Yavanna, the Queen of Earth, the Kementari can hear it. Such prayer is then rewarded by summoning Onodrim, also called the Ent, which may help him in his fight with the enemies of the Nature by his presence on the battlefield.
     
Ents also have their own special skill:

Every Ent will automatically summon Huorns on the battlefield before the battle really starts. Huorns can drink Ent Draughts prepared by their Masters, which increase their battle abilities. Number of summoned huorns is randomly set between 50-100. Units standing directly behind Huorns cannot be ranged attacked!   
Ents can also cast their own incantations in battle:

	Binded stack can't move for the rest of the battle (until cured or dispeled), but can retaliate.
	Huorns, who drink it are improved: +5 ATT, +5 DEF and +3 SPEED.
	Morale spell may be cast on a friendly stack. The spell gives a second movement in 1 round to the target.

CLASS: ALCHEMIST
Alchemists are surprisingly walking along the path of the lonely killers. From an ordinary rogue and thief, hardened by many a fight, there finally emerges the deadly Assassin, Master of personal combat and calm killing. At a certain time in their lifes, Assassins prefer to organise the crime around them than personally fight in the streets. It抯 the time for starting their own Assassin Guild and become Master of Thiefs, and like a spider, arranging the dark network of crimes.

1st Advanced Level: AVENGER                 

Advanced skill

2nd Advanced Level: ROGUE

Advanced skill
     
Alchemist gradually improve their fighting abilities and ultimately become the Assassins, the Masters Killers, the most dangerous heroes in close combat fight.

When close to enemy hero (1 hex in front of him), they can perform the swordstrike attack, which effectively disables the Hero for the rest of the battle (cannot cast spells or take any other actions.)
        
4th Advanced Level: MASTER OF THIEVES               
Advanced skill

      
The Elder Assassins virtues are no more in the deadly personal combat skills, which are a must, but more in organizing the shadowy nets of crime and leading the Assassin Guilds in all Erathia. Master of Thiefs can use their network to supply reinforcements to any Hero on any place on the map in 2 DAYS!

CLASS: WIZARDFrom the magic classes, the Wizards are most deeply interested in magic theory and high arcane studies. University is their natural place and magic research their daily bread. Wizards are very competitive, they usually gather in magic orders or circles, which often fight each other. Tower is a natural and logical safe place for all wizards as well as a a desire to become Adept and have the upper hand over the other Wizards.

1st Advanced Level: ILLUSIONIST                 
Advanced skill

   
Wizards specialise in studiing the magic theory and the basics of magic secrets. As a part of your magic theory studies you also discover a way how to make your spells irressistible!

2nd Advanced Level: SAGE                 
Advanced skill

     
On your studies you discover the secret of the Runes of Power, a long forgotten area of magic science! Hero knowing the Runes may write the rune of teleportation on any place on the map and teleport to or from it at any time. Runes are written on the runestones.

3rd Advanced Level: SORCERER                 
Advanced skill

     
All experienced sorcerers at a certain time in thier lives need to build their own tower to have a place to live and study in peace.

In every such tower the sorcerer places a powerful magic convertor which can transfer the force gathered to a sorceror when he is nearby the tower (in diameter of 20 squares). Single energy beam from every Tower adds +10 to all primary skills of the sorcerer.   
4th Advanced Level: ADEPT                 
Advanced skill

     
The ultimate knowledge of all the nuances of magic every Adept wields is transformed to the SpellForge skill. SpellForge skill allows every Adept to invent his own spells with desired effects of almost any kind and any power. Adept is limited only by the price of the created spell.

CLASS: DEMONIAC

Demoniacs are fighters, totally possessed by their worship of Devil and all the Dark. During their lives, Demoniacs gain priviliges to call upon the powers of the Netheworld and summon reinforcement unlooked for by the Enemies. On higher levels their battle ferocity driven by their evil Master becomes such that it抯 almost impossible to fight against them.

1st Advanced Level: POSSESSED

2nd Advanced Level: DEMONOLOGIST

Gating action starts by click on the Gating Hero.      
Gating menu with small minimap is opened where you choose the castle and units you want to gate on the battlefield.

The units won't stay with the Hero after battle, the survivors are automatically gated back to the town. The maximum 5 stacks may be gated during one battle.  

3rd Advanced Level: SUMMONER                 
Advanced skill

     
Summoning advanced skill allows the Hero to automatically (meaning without sacrificing hero action) summon to every battle a previously selected stack and thus effectively increase the maximum hero stacks to 8th!         
Summmoning dialogue works pretty much the same like the leave creature dialogue you are used to from standard HoMM3.
  

4th Advanced Level: LUCIPHERUS                 
Advanced skill

     
Hero having this skill gives 1 more attack to every stack under his command in battle, eg. pikeman would now have 2 attacks, but wolf raider would have 3 attacks!

CLASS: HERETIC

Heretics take pleasure in pain of the others. They are altogether evil, cruel and beyond any cure. However, Heretics are no maniacs.

1st Advanced Level: DERVISH                 
Advanced skill

	The Ambush spell places an invisible band of Ghost Dragons on the selected spot on the adventure map, where they lay hidden to ambush an appointed enemy player! The power of the trap is set by the amount of mithril sacrificed for its creation.
	Plague spell will send your minions all around the land of Erathia infesting plague and pestilence upon every town and castle (including yours!). There the terrible disease halves the available population!
	Dazzling Light spell creates a spark of light over the sky so bright it blinds the vision of {ALL} heroes in Erathia for {5 days} in such a way they are not able to scout any new area in this time and have to keep moving on already discovered grounds only.
	Time Stop is a massive spell, which stops Time in entire Erathia for all players except the caster. Duration of the spell is 1 day.
	This spell calls for the help of the Masters of Hell, Lucipher and Belzebub. For a proper sacrifice (your soul of course, here represented by 2 points of spell power!) they'll build you a new town in an amazingly short time of 2 days!
	When Confusion is cast no hero in Erathia can start fight with any monster for 5 days!

4th Advanced Level: TEVILDO               
Advanced skill

     
The most experienced servants of the Dark gain a special status of the priests of Melkor Morgoth. This, among other things, means they are able to sacrifice to Morgoth in a way it pleases him. Morgoth, by himself called the Lord of the Doom sends them as a reward his most terrible servant, the Balrog, The Demon of Fire which may help him in the fight with the enemies by his presence on the battlefield.
     
Balrogs also have their own special skill:

Every Balrog automatically casts Armageddon spell before the battle really starts. The spell power is 1/2 of the normal Hero spell power. Having Balrog in your army makes you also IMMUNE to his (and only his) Armageddon!  
Balrogs can also cast their own incantations in battle:

	The target stack of the spell has the hit points of all its members halved.
	Target stack will deal only half of its original damage in its next attack.
	Tornado moves ALL enemy stacks all the way to their original edge of battlefield.
	Petrified stack can't move, takes 50% of damage and unfreezes when attacked.
