The Heroes Round Table

I am so sorry my hubby spent $90 AU to buy me this game, what a waste of money. I was a pretty fair V gamer but I can't win a skirmish to save my life. I will go back and replay all the old Heroes V games. This has just frustrated me so badly, I've tried different factions, different tactics to no ...

So this is now available at 50% of the RRP @ Zavvi. I'm thinking of treating myself to a game over the festive period, (and I need a break from Skyrim!) - is it worth it, even at this price, with all the problems to date?? Better wait before first expansion .Bugs are too many etc Imho, the game is ...

There's plenty of stuff wrong with H6, but I feel people are pointing out the wrong arguments for partly the right reasons. Take off your nostalgia-glasses, guys: it's never going to be like H3 anymore due to the simple fact that it's not 1999 anymore and that developers are trying new stuff with t...

this game is dull and worser then HoMM V,coming from the fan of 3-4.
The decline in the series ,loss of 25%-30% of the fanbase .

yeah and theirs was also how much finances to invest into development

skiirmish replay value is the law for a strategy game ,if its low-game sux Not really. It's all relative. To me, Heroes was always about the storyline and the campaigns. If the story is original and entertaining, then hot seat and skirmish is all nice but not what you play the game for. All in all ...

In Might and Magic Heroes Kingdoms there are vestiges and rifts ,though I never had tried them .

I also like 3-4 ,but HoMM 5 was not so bad ,beisdes long AI turn.
This one skirmishes are boring .

That is interesting because in one multiplayer game I play there is a guy from Croatia and his nick is djurdja

Are you sure?
Ending -ich like Pavlovich is South Slavic

Why do you talk about names as Russian, the game is Hungarian. Maybe they use Croatian ,since before WWI kingdom of Hungary included Croatia . In very old Russia they did call man,whose father was called Michail not Michailovich ,but Michailov . The endings-'ov' was possibly from -Viking Old Norse. ...

Yeah it went almost unnoticed on the biggest gaming forums .
When HoMM 5 was released it had altogether different reception .
Bugs , lack of strategic depth -trademark of Ubisoft .
They ,prolly,would not release 7 -not enough gullible marks

But there is no inferno town in HoMM 4
You linked Necropolis ,which is eventually an awesome theme , the ending part of it is
one of the best music bits in HoMMs

I tried Rift's trial and liked it.
But it was period when many got crashes ,one after one . I got 3 in 3 min.
One guy on forum has said he got 15 crashes .
It was ATI cards owners . ATI cards are good for money ,but routines
sometimes screwd up

H 4
and then
H 3
Though it can be mentioned that ,while H4 has best sounding themes

H3s themes just match your feeling about faction for 100%

Where can I find this file?
The adress for faq on strategy planet is closed . So I can't find it.

No amount of reasoning inclines me to abandon the Erathian patriotism....
To Mhorhe -yeah ,you have a point about everyone does some ripping off.

HoMM 4 was like role-playing game,where heros development meant more then anything else ,not pure strategy like 3 . 6 must have more cities to be good strategy game imo -
