The Heroes Round Table

Pffft, and that interview says "the differences are not even noticeable"? Seriously, I played with the fan-made HD mod, the official one beats the heck out that one. Everything is crisp and detailed, you can take out the cracks in the Learning Stone's gem (always thought it was just a gree...

Dang. I know they did not have the codes for the expansion, but how hard would it have been to make the updates and patches AB did? I am annoyed that Dragonflies do not cast Weakness on enemies, like in AB... Or how you cannot just hit space to activate an adventure map object without moving. Oh and...

LOL! Too true. That's because Ubisoft told the art studio way back with HOMMV to emulate WOW and Warhammer as much as they can. Hence the giant shoulderpads or armored vampires armed with swords larger than themselves.

They are all overly ornamented. Titans, gargoyles, golems are machines of war, you don't see baroque-esque golden reliefs on a TANK or Battleship.

Kalah - True! That's why I bought it even though I cannot play with it. Maybe HOMM3 will make people see that the Heroes franchise can be good, unlike what VI was and what most likely VII will be. Maybe we can finally kick Ubisoft enough that they admit they don't know what they are doing and they r...

Pretty neat! Can't wait to try this out. Still angry they could not make this work on XP though.

I predict the Haven towns suffer from a lot of deaths caused by people falling down from unnecessarily high bridges and causeways. No railings, see. Maybe they have angels flying around to catch people falling off?

Boob-cups, of course. Sigh... And they have shown with the female Haven unit that they could do proper female armor right.

MrHackcrag- yeah, and I never liked the Wraith, either. It's silly and over-the-top to basically add the Grim Reaper as a simple unit in your line-up. The HOMM3 Wraiths were so much more eerie by being skeletal things covered in tattered cloaks. The design flaws began in HOMMV already, when everythi...

Looks like something taken from a Saint Seya toyline. Sigh.



I miss the days when the Undead actually were about effectiveness in death-dealing, and not trying to be stylish with their uniform green or purple lighting effects.

Pirate gypsie elves. 'Cause sure, why not, you could not mess up Heroes any worse after adding D&D-staple dark elves, a whole faction of japanese mythical beings you renamed after an INDIAN mythical being, and aztec orcs. Sigh. Also, sure, we all know a fencer will never wear armor on her abdome...

HOMMIV is at fault here too, blowing up the old world and adding new and easily forgettable heroes. Gauldroth and Tawni where easily forgettable to you... my condolences i guess. Sorry, I don't even know who they are, and I can remember every HOMMIII hero from Astral to Xenofex. :) Okay, that's a l...

No to mention how friggin' UNORIGINAL they were with Haven. Look at the units - everyone, even crossbowmen - have the same style helment. Since the maps are large, from above every unit will look the same. Heck, the pikeman looks the same as the cavalier, just without a mount. And the wolves... seri...

Meh. It can be summed up easily - everyone's a jerk and everyone worships drgaons (for some reason), though the necromancers' dragon is a big spider or something. I miss the days when devils were aliens from a far-away world, when Sandro schemed behind every plot, when genies with mother complexes h...

When I first saw this, I thought it was Lizard Fortress. Now that I know what it really is, it just makes me sad. :( Forget about it...too hard to cram pointless nerd pleasing female nudity in Fortress, so it goes against standard Ubi policy :D Tiva would have something to say about that... :D (war...

I vote for ORIGINAL Fortress.

Down with boring all-dwarf town, bring back gnolls, lizardmen and their assorted beasties!

The hell with greedy companies... 15 EUR?!? I can buy the HOMM Complete edition that has the first 3 games with all expansions, for less than 10 EUR. Also, WHY do we Europeans get games more expensive than Americans? 15USD is much less than 15EUR.

The Sylvan never had the Phoenix since HOMMII. IV doesn't count, that was a roasted chicken, not a phoenix.

I still say... bring back the Faerie Dragons. They'd make more sense for a Sylvan town, and they are also amazing spell-casting units.

As an old-time fan... I have to say the damage was done with HOMMV already. I actually even like 4 better than V-VI... And rather go back to play III then to finish any of them. Or, better yet... I play King's Bounty - Armored Princess. For me three things killed the franchise: 1: The bloody stupid ...

TWO maps for 9.99 EUR? TWO Maps? And I take it there are no new creatures, spells or any other new thing that'd have required a new mesh/model in it? I am sorry, writing could be as great as it can, but I am not spending close to 4000 HUF on this... I could buy a full (older) game from this money. C...
