Oh man, heroes of might and magic.... Countless hours of my life wasted. I could have been a virtuoso pianist, a god shredder, hell a competitive BW player with the time i spent playing that game... and yet, I regret nothing.

Homm3 One of the best strategy games EVER, homm2 and 5 were pretty damn good as well i never played the first one will definitely play this but it's so hard not to get your hopes up too high comparing it to Homm3 and getting disappointed ^_^

Wow, i used to play Homm2 DEMO for hours upon hours with my cousin. 4 and 5 just never brought that magic back (no pun intended)....hopefully this goes back to the roots of 2 n 3.

Unfortunately the topic title is incorrect since they changed the naming scheme to Might & Magic: Heroes VI for some perceived PR reason. Rolls right of the tongue.

I'm pretty apprehensive about this. They might streamline it too much, though change is better than trying to make a clone of 3 again I guess. There is also Ubisoft's DRM to worry about. Will avoid the game if they haven't abandoned it by then.

Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes for the DS is pretty good btw. It's a puzzle\tactics game with a jrpgish singleplayer. There are HD ports coming for the consoles, though vexingly there's no PC port. It would be perfect for Steam etc.

Also, you guys should check out the King's Bounty games if you haven't already. Most old Heroes players I've spoken to prefer them to V, though I haven't played them myself yet.

Can't wait for this game. Loved 3 back in the day, and enjoyed 5 to a somewhat lesser degree. This looks fantastic- necro fighting

I am not sure what you are talking about. HoMM5 is far superior than HoMM3. The mechanics in HoMM5 is better, racial identities are clearer, and there are more strategies in HoMM5 (in HoMM3 you pretty much have to have Earth Magic and Wisdom or your hero is pretty much doomed). There are basically less "cheese" in HoMM5. Overall, HoMM5 was pretty much a superior remake of HoMM3.


I never get wisdom and i usually pwn every game

i played every HoMM and the 3 is WAAY better then any others. sometime, me and my friends play on huge map that takes about 2-3 days to finish a game. the 5... its like totally a different game. i was really disappointed when i played the 5
How do u doto?

I remember playing HoMM 3 hotseat on the one computer everyday after school with friends. It was pretty epic fun. Games would last for days. I recall one even lasting us 2 weeks. Hope number 6 can bring back the awesomeness of the game.

Sounds promising, 5th was quite disappointing to me - even more than 4th was.
I'll definitely buy it unless they find some way to completely ruin it, lol.

(and yes i'm a strong fan, if u wonder about my name )

(also i find homm1, 2 and 3 equally good as they are all great and even though they have differences, all the differences are good in either way)

Most of the new mechanics look promising, especially the hero development changes. The system in HoMM 5 was...quite terrible. The campaign looks disappointing though, that was the other major aspect of HoMM 5 that sorely needed improvement. And the voice acting as a subset.

So excited, HoMM2 adn HoMM3 were fantastic. I never played the first, but the fourth was awful and the fifth was decent.

Here's hoping HoMM6 brings me the joy I had in my childhood.

The last 2 have been big piles of disappointment.
Here's to VI being half the game that 3 was.

I felt so too, but older HoMMs have a lot to do with luring retaliations, which was very difficult to do in HoMM5. Also, if you played the second expansion of HoMM5 before, they actually added "Wait" back into the game. In term of formulating strategy, the initiative system was kind of difficult.

Initiate-modifying skills in HoMM5 felt too strong for me. I think it's better to have Haste to add to movement speed instead of making creatures act more often.


Wow they removed Wait from the game? This is very disappointing. Especially since HoMM4 initiated the system of simultaneous retaliation.


Let me correct everyone on this. Wait function has been implemented in H5 since day 1. It just didn't have icon you could click (it was under a hotkey).
I know this for sure since I only played basic H5 as expansions ruined it for me (first one not as much, but the second one was just dreadful).

Back to H5 initiative system: I have to say I kinda liked it, especially the fact that hero was there too which added a completely new depth to spellcasting. The spells themselves and special traits they got if you went right paths in magic/other skills was great too, and the fact that mass haste etc. were not related to magic skills was another brilliant approach which finally gave combat heroes some chance. Although making luck trigger so often and affect spells was a bit too much.

Overall, I have to say I liked 5, they could remove standard hero attacks from it though.
Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

I think the biggest problem for the series is the huge processing/waiting time when the computer opponents are making their turn. Especially when you're playing 7 other comps. The more computer enemies the more frustrating it is waiting for them to finish their turns. If only they can somehow find a way to work around this problem...
