The Heroes Round Table

New game might be called Might and Magic: Fates. https://twitter.com/Kurakasis/status/1734794636604887401 Last month Ubisoft registered 2 new domains: http://mightandmagicfates.com and http://might-and-magic-fates.com. The poster goes on to speculate it is the same game as the one discussed here - f...

Sorry if this has already been covered. Mostly a short film about the popularity of Heroes 3 in Eastern Europe. Mullich and Romero are interviewed. Romero mentioned his musical heroes that inspired H3 (Liszt, Chopin, Rachmanioff, Prokofiev).

For Mullich's earlier career, check out articles at Digital Antiquarian:

Following the Sep newsletter:

You mentioned "preliminary work for Heroes IV". What can you tell us about this early Heroes IV concept?

UPDATE:
Was there any plans for Might & Magic 8 before the Forge incident? Had the incident impacted MM8?

Question:
You have the collaboration of David Mullich. Have you tried to contact other key developers of NWC, like Phil Steinmeyer (H2 lead designer) and Gus Smedstad (H3 programmer, H4 lead designer)?

Speaking of "JVC's MMORPG", I'm curious about what was his initial MMORPG vision, for which he accepted the 3DO acquisition, hoping 3DO would fund its development. My other question is about M&M6's naming & division of magic. As we know, Sorcerer spells are divided into four elemen...

Surprising news. A Dreamcast port of Heroes 3 was once in development. Thanks to the efforts of the Dreamcast community, a build of this port has finally been dumped and released. http://www.thedreamcastjunkyard.co.uk/2020/03/the-lost-dreamcast-port-of-heroes-of.html A few more screenshots: http://h...

If you may, I'd like to see those notes too! There's a good chance I'd agree with most of them.

This might be the most frivolous post I ever made, but I figured you CH posters may find it enjoyable. :) Let's recall the Heroes 4 adventure map themes, as named in the OST. 08 Valhalla (volcanic) 09 The Prayer (swamp) 10 A Wise Tail (snow) 11 Wandering 12 Hope (dirt) 13 Floating Across Water (wate...

Audio CDs have their own redbook format, created years before the CD-ROM format was defined.

It's Windows and other computer operating systems that treat them as wave files.

Makes me wonder where Julia Ulano, art director of Heroes 1 and 2 has been to. (Heroes III's Phelan Sykes now seems to work in the casino machine industry.)

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. Its writing went for wor...

Watching a gameplay video, I noticed the game has better music than most Paul Romero-composed games that are not NWC Heroes. It seems our composers' creativity was seriously hamstrung by the requirements to do heroic fantasy music. and with the restrictions gone, Romero is free to utilize all his ac...

Name of this addon must be like in orginal. Gatehering Storm. Winds o war. Aprroachig Hurricane? "The Gathering Storm" is named after the first book in Churchill's WWII memoirs , and "Winds of War" is from a well-known historical novel on WWII. If your idea is for a title themed...

No need to poke around like that. The game's official files follow the modern paradigm - separation of text and binary data for easier localization. The campaign text are all in their own files.

Recently I've been looking into the inspiration behind the fantasy strategy genre, and some answers have emerged. Let's take a look at three board games. Titan (1980) In Titan, players maneuver their legions of mythical monsters on an intricately designed board. The board consists of hexes each belo...

Unity is out! I still can't actually play the game due to a bug, so I just took a look at the text and cutscene files. Aside from one or two evocative scenes, the script is kinda barebones and superfluous in that it doesn't exactly go in-depth or put everyting in Heroes IV in a new light. Nonetheles...

Please report any bugs you enounter here. Nothing else in this thread, just bug reports (to make it easy for the devs to read). :) At the bottom of your bug report, you can report your computer specs: CPU, OS, RAM, graphics hardware and software. Even when I set the game to use my laptop graphics c...

What is uncanny was that the Lost Tales of Axeoth project is enabled by the fanbase's conservative votes for the traditional faction lineup, and for better or worse, retroactively justified the votes from some perspectives. I do wonder whether the campaign will contain a gameplay mod that changes th...

Blog update: the first campaign Unity will be released in February 2016. https://mmh7.ubi.com/en/blog/post/view/the-lost-tales-of-axeoth-unity-available-february-2016 Frankly, one of the reasons I bought MMH7 is to own the final missing pieces of H4. The two months can't go by faster. I do wonder wh...
