The Heroes Round Table

I don't regret my Day 1 purchase of MMH7. I have gotten my money's worth without doubt. Based on that experience, why wouldn't I consider buying the expansion on Day 1? I know why you wouldn't, but different keystrokes for different folks.

Thanks for the post. I barely check that site now. I check here daily, and you helped me out.

Not sure I will buy this on Day 1. I will be sinking a lot of hours in Stellaris starting on 5/9. Trial by Fire might have to be a later purchase.

Latest news from HMM7 official site. This will be helpful as I try to learn to build some maps of my own.

@Gourley4p, you wrote you really enoyed the story telling, what about the rest? The gameplay, level designs etc? First, I would have to agree that the AI was a little easier in Lost Tales than in the main campaign. Except for one fight when an Earthquake spell nearly wiped out my whole army in one ...

Well, I finished Lost Tales this weekend. I really enjoyed the story telling. It reminded me of my favorite part of Heroes IV. Now to learn how to use the editor intelligently!

Marzhin, my thanks go out to those of you who worked on the second stage of the Lost Tales of Axeoth. It had the feel (story, creatures, music) of Heroes IV. Well done. I will play some more soon.

New bug discovered as I completed the single player campaign tonight. When my centaur marauders attacked abbots, the following would happen 100% of the time. Centaurs: Ranged attack at 100% Abbots: Ranged counterattack Centaurs: Move Turn of centaurs resets Centaurs: Ranged attack at 100% Centaurs: ...

I don't find the list daunting at all. For example, I performed a Google search for WoW Known Issues and found this old thread . We're talking about a game that has been live for 12 years. Each new patch breaks something else. This simply is the state of gaming. Like cjlee, my options are to deal wi...

I just finished up the Haven campaign over the weekend. I have only Ivan's scenario left before completing the vanilla content. Then I will move on to Axeoth. My newest bug, an old one, is the No Active Hero bug. I would start round 2 or 3 of combat and not be able to attack or cast spells with my h...

If you primarily play Campaign, this is a very good Heroes game.

If your draw is Hot Seat, it is okay, but it has few maps right now.

If you like multiplayer, it is a horrible Heroes game.

I really enjoyed the Sanctuary play style. I am curious how it would work in MMH7, since so much of the strategy in MMH6 was about using the nagas to heal.

Clever!

Well said, cjlee.

I find the magic system in VII to be much closer to V or III than to VI. What kind of changes would you like to see there?

Oh, thanks for the clarification, Erwinner. You are not advocating for the eternal cessation of production but would prefer a temporary halt over what we have currently, correct? Now I think I better understand your position.

It seems we have at least two distinct schools of thought here: 1) "A game making some people happy is better than no game at all. I'd rather the franchise continue and a few people get to play new games they enjoy." 2) "A game that does not do justice to the franchise (subjective, bu...

This escalated quickly. The only thing I was going to reply was that the way I am looking at it, in my scenario of production of MMH games continuing, some people are happy with the game; some people get to be happy. Under the scenario of the franchise dying, no one gets to be happy because there is...

So far, Academy and Necropolis have been my favorite campaigns. I enjoyed the story for Academy, which made me enjoy playing a faction I normally feel only mildly motivated to play.

if Vivendi take over it will either mean no more Heroes games from Team Erwin or no more Heroes games at all, both of which are far better prospects than the current one lol Can't say I agree here. I am playing and enjoying the current game. I certainly don't think it is a masterpiece, but it is FA...

The thing about campaigns is that you won't play them ad infinitum. I believe most players will play them once or twice then that's it I agree somewhat. For instance, I have been going two months on the Campaigns so far. I will probably finish by the end of January. By then, it will almost be time ...
