The Heroes Round Table

I have a lore question that has been in my nogin for a while! A lot of Heroes IV flavour text mention the Kreegans near extenction; Was this a species wide extinction facing the entire spacefaring race across the cosmos (thus meaning the Ancients are probably winning that long war) or was it just th...

Oh, I did not realize there were a couple of campaigns. Any new story/lore details or lore details from them anywhere I can find this?

I really hope it is not mothballed, but it does seem that everything is wrapping up at the same time. That the official M&M franchise website is now down (after being there only for 2 or so years) which I think is an indication that they have lost interest in building the franchise up. Personall...

Whatever you do, make sure your heros are not in the north east section of the city when the magic barrier goes up as they get trapped there.

This map was odd, mainly because the enemy AI seemed super aggressive to the point of stupidity, whiiiiiiiich I totally took to my advantage! There are 3 big armies and they sometimes seem to combine under one hero. So I gave all my creatures to Tomas (minus the Orcs) and sent him immediately East t...

I found an interesting little strategy that can net you a lot of experience, stat boosters as well as resources to make the end game on this map a lot easier. Instead of taking Castleroc, position your strongest hero nearby either on the bridge or at the gate. Every time they produce a new hero or a...

Ok, I am a Newb to Twitch. Do you have to watch it live, or is there a recording that you can go back to and watch later?

But, But, I already have one of those. Can I have a pretty hat with a unicorn instead?

Karmakeld - On second thoughts I may have been a bit harsh. I was playing the battles on expert rather than normal, thinking because I played other Heroes games this would be a walk in the park. I forgot that much of my success in previous games was though making use of save and reload which you don...

Thanks Roald! It's starting to feel more like 'pay to avoid a long and torturous experience'. It's the resource of time that is the issue with these free to play games! You spend ages waiting for new units (5 or so ghouls an hour), and resources to appear. And the answer is to pay to speed things up...

Is it? I still have old units Swordbearer when I look at the website.

Oh dear! I thought you like most Free to Play using money was just a way to speed up the process of advancing. Personally I prefer not paying and having more of a challenge! So does that mean to use an extra character I would have to pay rather than just get points (or seals)?

I thought from the initial vote that Sylvan would be all guerrilla warfare and light fast strikes i.e. Sylanna's Fury (which is why I chose Elves as it would make a good contrast to the other factions). So I guess its Sylanna's Fury for me.

Steve! He is definetly a Steve.

Unless.... the majority of voters held off till last minute, though I think that is unlikely with most people having made up their minds far in advance.

Its actually less than a week. Only 4 days now!

Ok we have only a few days to really decide. Regardless of the where the Polls are placed more people seem to be going for Sylvan by quite a wide margin. Not sure what the main reasons are but I am pretty sure its a combination of nostalgia for the Rampart faction and the fact Sylvan have been unuse...

Well, Dungeon could end up containing more than just dark elves, of course. I also see dark elves not so much a part of Tolkien lore as the Forgotten Realms. D&D is an equally big influence. I think with all fantasy it comes to giving people something they can recognise (like dragons). However ...

I don't know. I don't really mind two different types of Elves that much.

I think my issue with Elves and dwarf is they have been done to death in fiction since Tolkien immemorial! I suppose so have the other factions too. I personally like it when they jazz things up a little, but that's just me.

I am not sure yet, both of these are factions I like. In terms of Storyline though Inferno does not really fit, especially given the death of the Falcon empresses which started this whole war. However, this could make the game very interesting indeed if Ivan is making a deal with the devil! It likel...
