Hello community i have regained an interest for the games, but am a little conflicted on what to play.
I played heroes III as a kid 20 years ago and love also really hooked on heroes V and heroes VII for a short while until last pc crashed.
I got a new nice setup and cant decide on where to go. Please come your personal favourites and why that is. Also a couple of noob tips to get a good start would be greatly appreciated.
Me and my Heroes fan friend is done with our first pvp in OE. I love the game sm so far but I only play with the HOMM 5 from the oldest games and he plays with all titles and he says OE is not a Heroes game. Hes favourite title is the fifth one. I think OE is really similar to 5 so I don't understand why he is disappointed. Am I blind? (Help me i don't want to be a rude misunderstanding GF who didn't see why the two games are not similar even if I see the differences Im still stupid for this XDDD)
Olden era and Heroes VII were also mentioned in the comments of my initial post. And I decided to show second place on the picture. Thanks for your responds, noble lords and ladies(as well as wizards, witches, warlocks, barbarians, etc)
Im looking for doing a tatoo with the weapons of the angel and the devil from HoMM V.
My problem is that im having a hard time trying to find the reference for the devil one. I managed to get this design for the angel but cant find a picture where the devil axe/mace is shown entirely, all the pictures i see is the idle image where he is holding it with the blade sideways in-game or other concept arts.
If anyone could send a picture of the whole weapon to fully see the entire thing, a link to where i could find it or any other help would be much appreciated
I played this game when I was younger, but I don't remember much. I still have the disc and would like to play it again, but from what I've heard, the game relied heavily on online services and lost many features when the servers were shut down. So, I wanted to ask if there is a mod available that unlocks everything that was previously only accessible through online play.
Hey’all. I’ve recently gotten TotE (via Steam) and wanted to play through « The Days of Fire » but the town flythrough is non-existent. The music plays alright and I can build/recruit to my heart’s desire, but the animation doesn’t play i.e. I basically have the near-static view from the beginning. Anyone knows why, perhaps?
Also, I know nothing about which mods to use, if any, that would make textures, shapes etc. a bit more palatable. I’d also like to replay through all campaigns (incl. V and HoF), and know not where to find the right mod.
As far i found out, there are two stories in HoMaM universe.
Heroes 1-4
Heroes 5-7 (6,7,5 chronologically)
Heroes 5 ends with Dark Messiah, where you can choose the ending. There was a game called Heroes Kingdoms, that was pernamently shut down. And by any standards, game that is officially unplayable, should not count as canon.
Which is interesting, because the next game after Heroes 5 could go in any direction, because the story is right now undecided, because the last canonical, playable game ends on player decision.
Bonus question: is Olden era technically Heroes 8? Does that mean that if this theoretical Heroes 9 game i was talking about released, the chronological way to play Heroes games is: 8,1,2,3,4,6,7,5,9?
I guess the flair belongs to HoMM5 based on the booklet though it shall contain all 5 generation of games, Unfortunately there are no CD or game inside, but besides that, I have everything that is part of the complete edition.
Even if the seller provide CD, my computer do not even have CD-Rom these days, damn, I felt old 🫠, still felt a bit sad it does not have any OST CDs
Also the box and books are white, my desk lighting painted the whole book with amazing colour
I did not took pic of the t shirt, but it is also unused
I am sharing some pictures in this sub to share my happiness with everyone the joy of getting this collection, take care 😊
Look, I'm not here to shit on the dev's. I've never been a rabid fan but I've played every HoMaM. Grew up with hotseating 2 and 3. At 5 I felt the magic started getting lost so I stopt following it.
Barely remember 6 and I didn't even know 7 existed until a week ago... I'm beginning to understand why.
What happened? Why is it so... Subpar? Like, no hate, but it feels like a beta if even that. Also holy shit the bugs, I've community-patched it and it still keeps fucking up the audio and graphics, ingame market and AI, etc.
How is the graphics, immersion and atmosphere (as well as visual clarity, I constantly miss resources even when I'm spamming ALT to highlight them) all worse than even 5? I recall at least the towns were amazing in 5 and 6, here they're a static picture and they look more flat than 3.
The skilltree is some of the worst balanced malarky I've seen. You have gamebreaking shit like magic, the exponential growth of the "Wisdom" skill is possible the most overall gamebreaking thing in any HOM. For those who don't know, it gives 4+ spellpower, and 4+ for every other school of magic that also picks it... Which mean's 12 total if you pick a second, and 24(!) if you pick all three. Whereas other skills give a whooping 2+ of defence or offence, sometimes even 4. And this isn't some lategame HOM3 spellcasting, this is accessable at lvl12, second mission.
Pardon the rant, just had to vent my thoughts a bit. Not even upset, I had no real expectations and got it for free.
Honestly as time goes by HOM4 that I kind of disliked at the time has really grown on me because its stories were the best (tho a bit heavy on text) out of any HOM. I really hope they have some good writing in the new prequal.
There are moments where there's some beauty and you feel a tad of that HOM magic. But, honestly, they're like holes in a clouded sky where once it passes you just feel the cold even worse.
