The Heroes Round Table

Tear of the Old One (H7 TbF Scenario) takes place shortly before Gumption and a Sharp Mind (H7 Trial By Fire - Fortress Tale 4).

Hey everyone! Long time since I visited Celestial Heavens. I hope everyone is doing well. Came across this: https://digitalinsightgames.com/home/press-release/ Looks like JVC is back with a new company, Digital Insight Games, to produce "blockchain-based games". Can't say I'm too excited, ...

Thanks Quantomas, and everyone who has kept this project alive along the years

My favorite space sim. I wish they'd do a Freespace 3 to continue the story, but it's unlikely as Volition is now a very different company (and I'm not even sure they still have the rights for Freespace anyway).

Hi there, I thought I'd drop by just in case... As you may know there will be two live concerts of HOMM music today in Poland, with Paul Romero himself. And there's the good news: both concerts will be live streamed :) 5PM Concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VzzCBQb9IY 8PM Concert: https://www...

Thanks for the kind words

Dear CH Community, The Legend of the Ancients (LotA) team is proud to present Book 3 of HOMM5: LotA. Wow ! This is incredible. Congratulations to the team, and thank you for picking up the torch. I'm downloading now, it will be strange (and exciting!) to play a chapter of LotA for which I didn't do...

Part 2 of the interview is online, it's a bit more focused on lore and Heroes.

It's truly amazing and humbling to see people willing to pick up the torch and continue this project. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. I wish I had the time to help.

Hi everyone, Not sure if it's the right place to post this. A few months ago I was interviewed by a Russian fan community about Might & Magic, and a few questions revolved around what Might & Magic XI could have been, had it been done. I also talk a bit about the scrapped add-on for MMXL. Th...

Hey everyone. It's been a while. George Almond, one of the artists who worked on Heroes III and IV (notably creating most of the characters' portraits), is currently uploading many sketches and artwork to his ArtStation page: https://www.artstation.com/universalexport This includes some rarely-seen ...

That little disclaimer on Crag Hack's entry does at least indicate the possibility that some of the whole lack of "lore" thing was intentional. To give some context, they were meant to be parodies of D&D modules, to stay consistent with the whole "play with miniatures" angle...

Wow, that looks pretty cool.

What do you think about that thing called "Might & Magic Showdown?" I haven't worked on it, so I don't know much more than you guys. It sounds like an intriguing concept, and I can see why they made the connection between Might & Magic and painting fantasy miniatures, but I haven'...

Thanks for the kind words, Rob
(I was a designer and not a producer, though ^^)

Slight derail: Marzhin, have you played the game Crowntakers (available on Steam and mobile devices)? It was a small indie game without much budget for content and balancing, but in terms of art style and tightness of design it hit on a lot of what I wished to see in Heroes. I didn't know it but th...

I assume you mean mock-ups of the landscape. May I ask what tools you use for this? Photoshop (back when I had a licence for it), or even simply PowerPoint. If someone wants to take over Legends of the Ancients and finish it, they have my blessing. As I said, the whole story has been available for ...

Karmakeld wrote:So when you say campaign scripts, I assume it includes landscape description, dialogues, map objectives etc. (similar to the way Terry Ray wrote campaign scripts)??

Yes, and a lot of drawings and mock-ups as well.

May I ask which two main game campaigns scripts you worked on? I wrote Stronghold and Sylvan, and the general synopsis of Dungeon (although not the actual scriptwriting for that one). I also wrote the campaigns of Trial by Fire (based on and expanded upon my story pitch had Fortress been voted for ...

Marzhin, on a side note (rather off-topic), I lost the name of the app/page thing in which you made that Map you posted on the MM Blog months ago (with the name of towns, pictures etc.), and I cannot recall the name of the thing anymore. Could you please refresh my mind? :D It was called Mashupforg...
