The Heroes Round Table

Interview is plain empty, imho. Questions like "how big is your team", "what is favorite part of your job" and other like that are so... boring. There is nothing deep end interesting in questions regarding M&M lore or games. For what group of people the interview was taken? M...

intriguing combination??? This is a game when the best part of gameplay includes paiting of miniatures!.. Ubi guys are really necrophiles, to do such a humilation to the brand they reaped and killed themselves.

Sorry for all of the emotions, but such a game is an overkill, even for them

Strange, that you haven't mentioned Might & Magic: Showdown new project from Ubisoft in the news)

Brien Herbert book, hundreds of Sherlock Holmes books - yes, thats a great example of perversion of original glorious products. The only thing in which our situation is different from SW Special Edition - Terry Ray scripts were unpublished and therefore cannot be considered canon at that stage. From...

And in this discussion I'll take Marzhin's side. Yes, there weren't any nods to sci-fi background before in Heroes, but I think it is just silly to close eyes and pretend it does not exists, and separate M&M universe and Heroes universe in terms of lore. Lore is common for both, and to pretend t...

It's an interesting question, isn't it: if Ubisoft decided to end the Ashan storyline and instead make future games in the old universe(s), would the popularity of the series increase? Absolutely. If they'll allow Julien to make a game set in futuristic Gravel's world, it would be a certain hit, I ...

As for me, I'm just happy to feel the magic of the Old Universe again. I don't know if it is possible to include such themes as spaceships/kreegans/Gravel's ideas into the storylines of Lost Tales, but this elements are the ones that made LotA setting so unique.

There is always a chance that Coraks hiding under every bush along the road... I need to contact my psychoanalitic asap or stop thinking about really absurd theories based on nothing. 'Cos Xel is right: words of Jennifer are pretty clear.

One interesting tidbit is that Hallford states that the Ancients were "supposedly benevolent", hinting that maybe they actually were not. That would have been a neat twist. Yes, in Warriors of M&M and more, in Shifters we see that Ancient Eonar was rather bad guy, and in the novel Sea...

Thanks in advance for references, Marzhin. You know, once upon a time there were a Wzardry franchise. First 5 games of it were standart generic fantasy, Wizardry 6-7 - sci-fi... Then a brand changed several publishers, and now japanese devs released Wizardry Online, set it there own world of Azalis....

The name sounds just like "Clash of Heroes". Rather idiotic and childish name, but for Ubi M&M game it is a tradition, alas...

Necros is the same guy. I asked about him Mel Odom via email, and he confirmed this fact

Maybe, 40 years before Dark Messiah?

The 3DO-ization began a long time ago, far worse than that. What games have we seen since Ubi got a trademark? A lame, primitive Ashan in HM&M5 and DMoM&M. Two mobile games by Gameloft set in "world of Erathia". A Chinese HM&M online game. HM&M: Kingdoms is coming, a browse...

Ininially I planned to post Ardon timeline after finishing Dragon Rage, but it seems, it never happens. I haven't found any mention about "Ardon as game world" in the game, and I don't have a manual to check it out. So I think I'll compile a timeline based on Crusaders (PS), Warriors (PS2)...

BTW, he didn't make humans immortal, just powerful enough. Tarnum is immortal just due constant influence from Ancestors side, it is his only cheat-code

I think ardonians not mistook them for immortals, they just see Ancients as gods that created their civilization. Another history notes from Warriors of M&M: "Eons ago, when Ardon was nothing but ball of magma spinninf through Void, bitter struggle was taking place in Heavens. To this dat, ...

I really wonder who these mysterious powers could be. A couple of versions: 1. Just overpowered barbarians of anciant times, who ascended after death and now watch over their people 2. As Marzhin suggested - manifistations of Powers of the Dome, most neutral explanation 3. Ancients. In disguise. Rig...

World of M&M Mobile games is called Erathia, using similar name of one of the continents of Enroth. Just same name! Also, M&M2 is a prequel of M&M1 - son of Louis, born in the end (yes, there is sex scene in M&M2!) is called Ewan, the main char of M&M1 Edited on Fri, Mar 14 2008,...

Still, Rion himself says he was "kidnapped from Paradise". One can hardly kidnap a person from a "state of soul". Why not? For example, necromancy. It's possible. Not necessarily. The Forces took on the form of Gods in Axeoth, but not necessarily on Colony. If he were referring ...
