Horses, Locks and Smiths, Oh My!

Wow, they sound really positive. I can't wait. But I hope it will live up to the hype.

Heroes III Revisited

H3 was a gem in the series, so many expansions and a spin-off series (Chronicles) and stand-alone maps. And all you needed to make so much content was a map-editor, wink wink Nival..?!

OSX Gaming: Now for Serious? Yarly!

Great news! I've never used a Mac, but if I understand this it does mean that games need to be modified to work with Cider, does that also count for Parallels Desktop and CodeWeavers' Crossover?

Looking Back at the Reviews

I hate quantifying subjective matter. Sure reviews are good way to get an initial idea of a game's quality, and they might pull potential buyers into the open. But they remain products of individuals with their own views and one can agree/not agree to those in varying degrees. So what if H5 would ge...

CH Manual Appendix Updated

I think it's still possible to export files to Acrobat v5 compatibilty, in turn you might miss some features from later Acrobats as well as the possibility that the file is a bit larger.



Anyway, cool thanks for the manual appendix!

Operation Patch

Localization issues, I take it these are mostly translation issues then. If so then an official follow up patch should be able to be installed over/next to it, without need to remove the fan-patch. But that's just speculation.

Dark Messiah Q&A at CVG

Well many games end with a story that could be continued and people would like to have more off. But if a follow-up will come almost always depends on sales and profit.

Dark Messiah Demo is Out

One and a half gig for a 15 minute gameplay demo? The fact that many people have powerful computers and loads of bandwith doesn't mean software does not need to be optimized. Did they just take the whole game and removed all the level files except one. I'm gonna skip this one. I have the speed and b...

Nice piece of work, would cost me 75 euro's to print myself. I'll have to think about that. But very usefull, I wish I had this when I started playing H5.

I think Agrael will return this time as Eragal the Wizard. I realy didn't mind the voice-acting. Just knowing we'll have some lip-movement courtesy of the Source Engine is enough.

Well at least they can use that time to further tweak the game and find bugs. I'd rather have a good game later then a bad game now.

Nice job Ubi, I wonder how much more profit they would have made if H5 was actually a complete and less buggy game. HoMM V UNDYING!

Of 1.3 and Maps

You're right Caradoc, with a mapeditor we can simply use common sense and knowledge of gameplay mechanics to make the map. Writing a program that can do that is difficult if not at least time consuming. If Nival could ever manage that it would either be in an expansion or sequal. I'm just keeping my...

Dark Messiah in the Spotlight

Maybe they should also put the story into context. But since DM takes place in a whole different region of Ashan neither the story before or after is of large consequence, I think. We could just say they take place around the same time.

Of 1.3 and Maps

Thanks for the translation, so if I understand his. They will not realease a patch (v1.2.1...) to fix the balance issues with v1.2 because v1.3 should be out soon (ahum...) and that the v1.3 patch WILL contain the map editor and the balance fixes and some more bug fixes. And next to this there shoul...

I hope no more then two Messiah's because that would get confusing. They do seem to like those Orcs alot. In early screens and still now there were mostly orcs in it. An now they're even on the box! Here's one from M&M2; Orc inventions, water proof sponges! Edited on Mon, Jul 24 2006, 17:30 by V...

Does that also mean that if the Angels or Griffins attack they will deal damage to both Infernals?
