The Heroes Round Table

Double Bravo Jeff! For those of us who love Heroes IV, any new map (and especially a new campaign) is a cause for celebration! And anyone who puts the kind of time and effort you did into creating a campaign deserves a huge pat on the back.

Bravo to Ethric and dragonn! I couldn't agree more. I don't understand why "fans" can't enjoy each game on its own - I do. I still play all 4 Heroes games. Each had it's own flavor and something to offer. The only thing that really disappointed me about Heroes IV was the lack of a random m...

Well said Corribus - I totally agree.

I sure as hell hope the final shrink-wrap version isn't like that. I don't understand why so many map makers, including the company employees, apparently go to a great deal of trouble to make a fairly attractive/beautiful map and then put a time limit on them. This usually means it is nothing more t...

Man, how adolescent can you get! "Girls..", not women, not even ladies. And of course wearing nothing but bra and g-string. And whats with their hair? - it looks like the top of their heads exploded.

Congratulations to TheJet who obviously read the fine print. Before you U.S. fans rush to order the Super Collectors etc.... edition, see below: (this is quoted directly from the referenced web site) 4.000 Super Collectors Edition available: - 3.000 Super Collectors Edition are for sales and include...

Cleanpea and infael: Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately, I have checked a bunch of web sites and some brick and mortar stores. The only thing that seems to be available is Heroes IV orihinal, but not either expansion (unless I want to pay outrageous prices on an auction site).

I apologize for going somewhat off-topic, but has ANYONE heard anything about a reissue of Heroes IV and it's expansions. I would really like to buy it without spending a robber-baron price for a used copy. I would appreciate any news anyone might have.

Thanks.

"Elsewhere, Gamasutra talks about the most attractive genres for game publishers." Not only is this article about console games, but it seems to have nothing to with Heros of Might and Magic.

Actually I think they look like a cross between American Indians and Vikings. Their ears could double for horns on a viking helmet - they are that big.

ThunderTitan: I don't know how much he is trying to sell the CDs' for, but depending on how much they are it might not be such a bad deal. Even on broadband (and I'm still on a dial-up modem!), downloading and copying 780+ (!) maps could be a very time consuming and tedious task. With my dial-up mod...

Rhutobello: You state "you have never been and will never be a fan of HoMM!" Oh really. I own and have played extensively (and am still playing): Heroes of Might & Magic (the original) Heroes II of Might & Magic Heroes II of Might & Magic - The Price of Loyalty Heroes II of Mig...

GACK! That is the ugliest set of creatures I've ever seen. Well, at least it finalized my feeling that I will NOT be buying Heroes V.

@Furay: Oh come on - half the comments on the web site are "Way off topic". In any case, since the topic was "...the Heroes of Might and Magic V beta test..", I was responding to the negative comments about the HOMM IV release. Also, since when does April have 31 days!?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love and play all Heroes and expansions - they are all great in their own way. And on balance, Heroes IV changes improved the game. I LIKE HEROES IV - frankly it's awesome to build a hero through a long scenario or campaign to a very high level and watch ...

When I click "here" I get a screen with The Desert and Dragon Slaughter, but not Order vs Chaos. Also, in the sentence "Both Order vs. Chaos (XL/WoW/MP)...", I assume WoW stands for Winds of War. However, when I click on the Order vs Chaos mini map on the main page it takes me to...

Mitzah, the games may have been developed by NWC, but the caption says: "Vepeli's collection of Might and Magic titles..." and the

games I mentioned are definitely not Might and Magic titles.

An impressive collection, but since when were "Planets Edge", "Anvil of Doom", "Inherit the Earth", "Nuclear War"!!!, and "Wetlands" "Might and Magic titles..."?

We playtested Tales of Destiny and really enjoyed it. We would definitely recommend it.

So big deal. When (if?) will it be available in the U.S.?
