The Heroes Round Table

@antipaladin: You really should just buy the GOG versions. But there are of course plenty of other options you should have found online when searching for solutions, or which are just obvious... 1. Buy an older computer - you might even be able to get a really old one free, I do. Install an old Oper...

@Bloax: Nice one, thank you. @antipaladin: I'm not sure about the exact deal GOG has, but they do get alot of the money, and it's well worth supporting them, I've bought tens of the best ever games from there. Plus, sign up at GOG, and wait a few months and you're bound to get an e-mail advertising ...

Tyro is a Male Half-Orc Knight from Clouds of Xeen.

Have you considered getting copies of these games?

Maximus is from Might and Magic 3. And I've e-mailed you.

Nope. Profile. PM. WWW. No e-mail. Likely that you have your e-mail set to private if you see it. Or perhaps my permissions are limited? More likely the first.

Ok, done. Unfortunately I misread Kalah's "max 80x80" as "must be 80x80" so they all have an 8 pixel black border on all 4 sides and I'm not in a position to reexport them right this second. I've included 24-bit bitmap, jpg and png versions in the zip. Also I have only exported M...

Obviously ccx is just an extension given by your extractor in this case. The filenames of the files are not stored in the file, I discovered them by monitoring the XEEN engines attempts to open files outside the archive before it hashes the name and searches inside for it. Your extractor therefore s...

Ok... can't wait to read that article I guess.

Is there a prefered format for Kalah? Considering the small size of 80x80 portraits, I'm considering just outputting standard Windows Bitmaps, I much prefer lossless images.

Sorry, I completely forgot to come back to this, busy weekend. If it's just character portraits, it's not problem at all, though they will be named, for example, D399A.jpg etc, as that's the hash my extractor automatically uses as a name (plus a letter per sprite in the file. I promise it by tomorro...

All of them? Can you be more specific about the icons?

I'm at work right now, but tonight I can do a complete extraction with my XEEN Engine if that's what you need; what format?

Some of them might be at the Might and Magic or XEEN wikis, I've not checked.

Yes, it's quite easy. They're stored within the CC archive in a simple command style compression format similar to that used in Heroes 1/2.

Money isn't collected by kickstarter during the pledge period. The money is "pledged" (promised) and if and only if the project reaches it's goal will those people be asked to pay what they promised. The people making the pledges incur no costs if they do not reach their target; however ma...

The letters that appear in the manual of HoMM1, which setup the story, clearly state that he isn't native to Enroth.

The game will be all in japanese too, because I'm pretty sure this was only released there. I don't own a copy of it, but I don't think they're too rare, at least compares to the Japanese only ports of the early games to NEC computers and the MSX, which I haven't found every version of yet.

Looks like the original to me.

Are you confused because it's the macintosh version and therefore looks slightly different to the DOS version?

I actually got a chance to play the demo last night, and I really like. I still play MM2 for both the PC and MegaDrive (Genesis), so this is right up my street. As I was writing this, I have bought the game, as it seems I didn't miss the offer - thankyou!

Fair enough, thanks, I'll borrow that for my needs then. His was strangely complex for something he pulled out of his, *ahem*, is it similar to MM7/MM8 or an attempt at working it out via trial and error?

Greyface's Might andMagic 6 Game Mechanics page, https://sites.google.com/site/sergroj/mm/mechanics and Bones' Combat Guide http://www.angelfire.com/nt/bones/chance.html both give alogirthms for calculating the Chance to Hit in Might and Magic VI. However, the two methods are incompatible and produc...

This looks pretty awesome!

Has anyone else here bought/played it? If it's anything like MM2, I'd be happy to buy it at todays price!

@Avonu: In MM1/MM2 you definetly have per-character Gold. World of Xeen has Party Gold, the same probably goes - I'm 99% sure - for Terra, which is built on the same engine. @OP: If you want MM3 for the PC, get to ebay. I have a few copies of it, including 3.5" and 5.25" floppies and there...
