The news of the last few days is, that Olden Era demo is out and you can taste the game to fulfill your deepest desires. There's no time limit, and there are three modes: Arena, Classic, Single Hero and three maps to try. More than enoug for everyone to make their own opinion.
I have played Single mode, as most convenient of them all and found it to be absolutely delightful, you can check my Steam review, but also a tad too easy. Need to say, that as I was playing the game even before, the skills and units are something what I have already know and that's making a difference.
If you don't know what to expect from the demo and you liked Heroes III or Heroes V or King's Bounty by Catauri, try it. Magic is strong, Skills are having perks now and visiting the objects closely around you don't cost extra step. More than ever apply the famous: "Speed is life and life is speed." and that you should choose wisely to visit and collect only the things which you need. Also Arena mode is great to introduce new units, check their abilities very carefully, your life depends on it.
Which is the first point. You likely remember that Heroes were having their fan Heroespedia pages, even we had it in the past, Unfrozen, developer of the Olden Era now move to that step officially and opens wiki pages available for everyone.
With that comes first batches of questions and answers. Immortalone created Olden Era Skillwheel and allowed us to host it, Avonu posted "Golden Egg artifact rewards" and "How to get Alchemical Dust", now both pinned at our Discord, in the #homm-olden-era thread.
From what you can see over internet, it's a huge success.
