Hey, All.
Welcome. Hope each of you is doing well.
This month I have five topics, followed by part five of my interview with Behemoth Cave (Webpage & Facebook).
As always, ‘thank you’ to everyone who wrote, especially those with positive sentiments. If you have any questions or comments, regarding Fanstratics (FST) or Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (HoMM3), feel free to send them along, and I’ll try to answer them in future newsletters. Please keep in mind, it may take at least 21 days before I reply (it’s taking longer-and-longer as production continues).
Until next time.

King's Bounty II was released according the plan of 1C at 24th August 2021. From many reviews it seems to be pushed up a bit, they are however patching it fast. From console's world it seems to be appreciated, whereas from PC, it's a tad worse. To summ up from many reviews:
+ Unique combat system
+ Nice atmosphere, music and the settings
+ Confirmed good tranlations for 'russian' and czech.
* Unique units, hard combats, you are advised to not lost single one and re-heal after battle for gold
* Funny dialogues, when playing for Katharine
* Not so big open world in a fact, it's small.
* Video stories
* Moral choices (Not only, there are four different faiths for units and you shouldn't mix them, at least not from the start )
- Graphic is not on par with today games, neither with pre-release videos
- Mounting and unmounting is very slow but you may avoid the horse and go on your own, by formal speed walking
- Sometimes you advance faster than expected by game, so you need to return to 'unlock' dialogs
- Slow and boring start, first 0.5-4hrs depending on your speed/skills/luck
- Camera
- Price
We picked three video reviews, for PS, Switch and last one German, where you can enable auto-translate titles to your language. Judge yourself. As for us, we gather all the news at our KB2 page.

The jolly fellow Marcus Pregent shares more of his great stories with us in the second part of this interview, where we go through things such as:
- Legends of Might and Magic
- Might and Magic VI
- Heroes of Might and Magic III
- Gelu
- Nerf Guns in the office
- Community Questions
- Much, much more
Did I mention Nerf Guns in the office? Yeah I did, but seriously, that sounds like a lot of fun and I hope I will get to shoot my boss with a foamy projectile sometime in the future!
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this second part of the interview, there's quite a lot of juicy information in it. I mean, Gelu's mother is WHO?!
I also wanted to ask you all, if you find any good segments of the video, or anything you found particularly interesting, to please let us know the time of that. I would love to be able to make some shorter videos with clips from our interviews.

In preparation for King's Bounty 2 release date (August 24) we created a new forum, for all King's Bounty games. So you can find, the content which was previously scattered in the forums, in one place.
In the About KB2 thread, there are summed all known facts, heroes and official trailers. Including 5 Deb Blog videos, official trailers and Greflet’s song by Raney Shockne.
If you are visting us from mobile, the top menu was extended, so it now covers everything what was in the main menu, which is now hidden for you. For PC it was only extended and there are no other changes.
For all newcomers welcome and take a look. If you are looking for Walkthroughs, Interviews, our Yout Tube channel or just would like to search for piece of information. Very easy is to search by TAG, so you can seek by game name or tool and you will get all articles.
Because of this century of "Spam & Plastic", we do use multiple antispam solutions. From what you see, the first one here is registration question, to check if you are human, check H.E.L.P. next to it for answers, in the linked article.
And second, your first post needs to be approved, after that you can contribute freely ;)
If you would find yourself puzzled, you can write us.
Welcome at CH and our Roundtable forums!
~Truly yours CH Team ;)
