New map: Savages
- by Robenhagen
We have received a new map for Heroes III, Savages from Gunnar Grimm, the founder of Drachenwald and Kartenarchiv.
For the longest time your kingdom has been threatened by the savages and the impostor from the other side of the lake. It's time to fight back...
Savages is a medium sized 2-player multiplayer map and requires the Shadow of Death expansion. It is also available in German version.
This is the first map by Gunnar on Celestial Heavens, but he has previously made quite a few; all available at Kartenarchiv.

Heroes Online swimsuit/negligee collection
- by Biggles Final Flight
Could the Heroes Online development team at TQ Digital currently be spending long nights away from their wives and girlfriends? Probably - if their recent batch of concept character portraits are anything to go by. View them at your leisure on the Heroes Online Overview page.

The History of Might and Magic
- by Angelspit
The Might and Magic universe contains several regions, continents, even universes. With dozens of significant characters, epic confrontations and simulatenous events, it is a bit difficult to keep track of what happened, and the motivations behind a character's actions. Jay Kaplon has an interesting summary of the most important events, sorted chronologically. The author would like to receive some feedback, so feel free to post a comment if you see anything missing. Another good resource for any Might and Magic history fan out there is Ribannah's Castle Gobs, a very nice-looking site by the well-know Might and Magic Tribute designer.

Sexy new portraits
- by Biggles Final Flight
This, in my opinion, is the sexiest group of portraits from the forthcoming Heroes MMORPG Heroes Online to be released so far. See all the other portraits and the full-size images on the Heroes Online Overview page. Pay special attention to the two slinky, sword-swinging elf maidens. RRRRrrrrrrrrr....

New Map: Lunch
- by Angelspit
Lunch by Chris Tiahrt was an entry in the Gloria competition at MapHaven that won the Clover Magic award. It is "the story of a Dragon who resents the absence of his sacrificial princess and sets out to right the situation." It is a small, single-player map for the Winds of War expansion that includes several close battles. The mapmaker says it can be completed in less than two hours.
In related news, Timeless Land is still in need of a tester. Please contact the mapmaker if you think you can complete his extra-large map. Vanadia's Freedom has been updated to version 1.1.

Since the announcement isn't likely to happen on Friday, or during the week-end for that matter, there is only a little hope left for today and Monday. My team will be monitoring the news sites closely. Keep your fingers crossed.

EA gets a taste for Ubisoft stock
- by Biggles Final Flight
Electronic Arts likes to keep us on our toes - in a turnaround that would inspire any politician, EA stated in a quarterly conference call that "it wanted to keep all its options open regarding this investment and could buy more Ubisoft shares, possibly a controlling stake" although EA's finance Director Warren Jenson said that "If something happens, we expect it to be with the full cooperation of Ubisoft."
EA are now the largest shareholder in Ubisoft, owning a 19.9% stake, compared to the 17.5% owned by the founders, the Guillemot brothers.
