Re: Equilibris 3.6 beta

So the mod is pretty much dead by now, I presume.

Re: [New Mod] Might and Magic VII: Amber island is finally out!

After some more poking around, I got a crash on the bridge south of the main town on Amber Island, where you go to bog dwellers. After loading a save i tried it again and got a crash in the same circumstance. Is it something on my end, or it is caused by the mod?

Re: [New Mod] Might and Magic VII: Amber island is finally out!

I have found out about this mod from the FB group a few days ago. Tried it yesterday, did some poking around and exploring and I love it!

One minor question, though: except for expert trainers teaching their skills, did you change anything else in the core game?

The latest patch is already installed and the Microsoft VCRedist shows me an error message "Another version of this product is already installled". And the error log file is not there, so nothing seems to work.

Thanks for the advice, I have managed to change it. I'm getting the same error message as before ("This application cannot be started on your PC" or something like that), so no dice.

Hello, I§ve decided to try the mod (Win 10). I cannot even run it, because I can't set the compatibility (at least I hope it's the only issue). When in the window where I can set the compatibility, I cannot set it manually - the tick box is greyed out with Win 95 compatibility pre-set. I can only us...

Seems alot of people want Ubi to step away from the heroes III model..., wel they did... it's called Heroes VI and all the things they changed about it are crap... area of control,less recourses/races,skill system, converting towns, no spellbook,no diversity in buildings...

Re: KB for Android, iOs

Ahem... H2 was clearly better in every imaginable way. I have come to hate H3 for how much praise it receives, even though it's nothing but a more rounder version of H2, with extremely downplayed music and much more bugs, where H2 had virtually none. Marry me. @hellegennes Games naturally incur mor...

In other news, DD World have done a retro review of what they say might very well be the best computer game of all time: Heroes of Might and Magic III . I'm not going to disagree too much, at least the question deserves asking. Luckily I can read the original article so I don't have to rely on the ...

There is also the Dark Champion from Gathering Storm (probably from there), with Undead, Charge, Regeneration and Terror. Also Catapult from Winds of War - Ranged, Mechanical, Siege Capable, Greek Fire.

jeff: smaller modding community also means more effort to make quality mods, instead of churning out "lol I made this fun stuff" (usually crap, as per Sturgeon's Law) because it is easy (though I am not implying that everyone will do it). And I consider a good editor in a Heroes game as a ...

Re: Poll: H6 Expansion or H7?

Ever done a non trivial mod? I didn't, because, well it isn't trivial. Even "simple" modding is quiet an effort, only a minority of the fanbase is capable of doing a decent mod. And if it goes beyond swapping treant graphics and animations with those from a beta version (just as example),...

Re: Poll: H6 Expansion or H7?

How about this strange and mysterious concept called "mod support"? You could have it all, made by the community, if only they made an easy way to mod the game to your heart's content. There is a risk that the community may do a much better job than the developers will and even people may...

Re: Do You Steam?

Yes, but again, that's the point. There is no law that says you can re-sell downloaded products. Well, not a law, but.... EULAs frequently ask users for things that are more stringent than Law. In this case, the EU said (for the first time in a court) that this is illegal. Obvious though it may see...

Re: People who need a legal way to play without CD

Not having personally bought from GOG I am unable to verify if their Heroes V is DRM-free and allows you to copy between your laptop and desktop. While I haven't bought it either, I think you can be sure about the absention of the DRM. Many people on the GOG forums are quite anti-DRM oriented and i...

It is time to move from the H3 model, it was becoming boring by the time SOD was released, though I did buy all of the chronicles. When UBI returned to that model with H5 and ignored the potential of H-IV it made H5 hard to play (all that resource micromanagement for one thing) and H6 well I haven'...
