The Heroes Round Table

Part 2 of the interview is online, it's a bit more focused on lore and Heroes.

It's truly amazing and humbling to see people willing to pick up the torch and continue this project. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. I wish I had the time to help.

Hi everyone, Not sure if it's the right place to post this. A few months ago I was interviewed by a Russian fan community about Might & Magic, and a few questions revolved around what Might & Magic XI could have been, had it been done. I also talk a bit about the scrapped add-on for MMXL. Th...

Hey everyone. It's been a while. George Almond, one of the artists who worked on Heroes III and IV (notably creating most of the characters' portraits), is currently uploading many sketches and artwork to his ArtStation page: https://www.artstation.com/universalexport This includes some rarely-seen ...

That little disclaimer on Crag Hack's entry does at least indicate the possibility that some of the whole lack of "lore" thing was intentional. To give some context, they were meant to be parodies of D&D modules, to stay consistent with the whole "play with miniatures" angle...

Wow, that looks pretty cool.

What do you think about that thing called "Might & Magic Showdown?" I haven't worked on it, so I don't know much more than you guys. It sounds like an intriguing concept, and I can see why they made the connection between Might & Magic and painting fantasy miniatures, but I haven'...

Thanks for the kind words, Rob
(I was a designer and not a producer, though ^^)

Slight derail: Marzhin, have you played the game Crowntakers (available on Steam and mobile devices)? It was a small indie game without much budget for content and balancing, but in terms of art style and tightness of design it hit on a lot of what I wished to see in Heroes. I didn't know it but th...

I assume you mean mock-ups of the landscape. May I ask what tools you use for this? Photoshop (back when I had a licence for it), or even simply PowerPoint. If someone wants to take over Legends of the Ancients and finish it, they have my blessing. As I said, the whole story has been available for ...

Karmakeld wrote:So when you say campaign scripts, I assume it includes landscape description, dialogues, map objectives etc. (similar to the way Terry Ray wrote campaign scripts)??

Yes, and a lot of drawings and mock-ups as well.

May I ask which two main game campaigns scripts you worked on? I wrote Stronghold and Sylvan, and the general synopsis of Dungeon (although not the actual scriptwriting for that one). I also wrote the campaigns of Trial by Fire (based on and expanded upon my story pitch had Fortress been voted for ...

Marzhin, on a side note (rather off-topic), I lost the name of the app/page thing in which you made that Map you posted on the MM Blog months ago (with the name of towns, pictures etc.), and I cannot recall the name of the thing anymore. Could you please refresh my mind? :D It was called Mashupforg...

I'm sad that you're again tackling petty bits of the posts but totally ignoring the other, earnest chat actually trying to get into about the future of the series, I want that to be tackled, it only proves my point if there is no answer to these things to ever realistically get a decent MM game aga...

don't just say by all means mate, feel free to correct my source's claim if you dispute them lol my source hasn't been wrong yet though, they don't like that kind of teasing BS lol I don't know what your "source" believe they know. What I do know with 100% certainty is that whatever this ...

Erwinner wrote:have you referred to that canceled game of the Watchdogs I posted down HC here mate lol

That's quite an assumption you're making here. Just saying.

afraid I don't think Vivendi will be interested in MM11 or any games of the Might and Magic/Erwin series to be honest lol I agree -- I don't think Vivendi is interested in anything that doesn't sell several millions copies. But while Bolloré is banging aggressively at the door, he's not in the hous...

Anyway there exist maps and mods for H7, so its cause it's not lost. Do you have plans to join some modding group in near future? Or to release some more stuff yourself? Right now, I'm happy to take a break from working on Might & Magic, to be honest. But I guess sooner or later I'll hear its s...

Yes I'm still alive I'm simply back to following the M&M brand as a fan.

there is no instance of two consecutive hyphens in that text mate, that's not even one of the texts I was referring to at all lol you are the one who uses the double hyphens, I don't think Terry Ray does lol OK my bad, I did misread your post. For some reason I thought you were talking about using ...
