The Heroes Round Table

If you wiling to invest some time into it, please do following, to locate where error starting to occur: 1. Install clean GOG MM8, anywhere but "Program files" folder. Boot it, start new game, to check whether it works or not. 2. Install MMPatch , during installation select folder, used i...

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.

Yes, it runs fine. Actually I've finished my last run about two weeks ago.

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... And some people still ca...

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 ...

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),...

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...

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...

"I agree with the overusing of Heroes 3, it is really annoying. If I want to play it, I'll install it. There is no need to have it remade several times." What's annoying to me is willfull or careless misinterpretation of what was actually said just to have a rant ... I just don't want Her...

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'...

OMG I don't even want to think what a UBI MMX would look like. Everytime you go into a tavern, the UBI server checks your credit to see if you can stay.

Or if you aren't logged into Conflux, your heroes can't equip and use artifacts.

No problem

I miss this option:
'Make a proper Heroes game or GTFO.'

If they are unable to do a good game, I suggest them to get their grubby paws off the franchise and sell it to someone more competent.
