The Heroes Round Table

Thanks for sharing your view! There is definitely a good share of enjoyment in SoC. And for its price it's definitely not a bad deal. With regard to writing/storytelling and "quality of life" improvements I have to disagree, though. I find the (campaign) writing rather tedious, uninspired...

13 hours in and I am impressed. There's many quality of life improvements over the 90s games, and compared to the godawful re-imaginings of the VI and VII kind this, in spirit, is a very worthy new title. I had to get used to the, by now overused in Indy games and a constant source of bemusement why...

Well, it's officially announced, with a June 2nd release. https://mmh7.ubi.com/en/blog/post/view/ ... al-by-fire

Let's see what they have in store.

Pretty sure it will be on sale, but in the 25% or 33% bracket. It's way too new for a 50% or 66% sale.

There are a few example maps Epic, Ultima etc you can try to start with, be sure to have RNG map checked in the map selection.
If you want to play a fresh map you'll need to use the included map generator, and reference the manual for the correct parameters to select.

Blizzard. Their execution of every game they do is almost flawless. They also have the confidence and resources to take a bit of a risk with games and gameplay. And they have battle.net but that actually works, compared to that ubi monstrosity.

My profile is comparable to Madaxe, and I actually agree with most of the game play points made. I like the overall graphic style, and I think it's well executed and has a definite charm. What I really do not like is the big influence the special weeks have on the game, I played a game where 2nd wee...

Well put mr.hackcrag. The problem is the writers employed by Ubisoft think they are Tolkiens, but they're not even Robert Jordans. Trying to divine any meaning from Ubisoft's weird policy decisions is quite pointless however. They do what they do, and hopefully they stumbled upon a studio that salva...

No Unicorns and no Phoenix... Disappointing. I suspect lots of people voted the name not the units.

Time to be cautiously optimistic. Lord knows why but I am still an optimist. It is unlikely they bollocks it up like the travesty called HVI so the franchise might bounce back after all.



Fingers crossed.

Sounds like a fun project, hope they get to finish it.

I am assuming important news like this would never come out on April 1st if it weren't a prank. No matter how godawful Ubi is treating the franchise and how mind-boggling bad the last version is, there is always hope for a good Heroes game somewhere in the future. And until then there's always II, I...

I appreciate the sentiment and reasoning that went into this post. But I think it's totally wrongs as it pertains to the Might and Magic fandom. All we want is quality games. And we have not gotten them for ages. It's not nostalgia at all, you could not pay me to play any kind of new incarnation of ...

Their track record in handling the franchise is pretty dismal. I really hope they don't destroy what's left of Might and Magic. That said, they do seem to push the right retro buttons so far. Wait and see I guess.

The Chinese Heroes of Might and Magic Online was a godawful bad game, I ran not walked from it in the beta and was actually pleased to get a mail recently that this travesty was shut down. It's sad to see the reason was that Ubi wants to milk it themselves. Once they are done with the brand it might...

they do know how to spin their game. I have been trying to play the beta on and off, but I just can't seem to motivate myself. It certainly not feels like a heroes game to me. I am a bit infuriated by the answer about complexity - the stuff they simplified WAS THE STUFF I LIKED ABOUT HEROES. The stu...

I played through the III and IV maps, and I found them to be engrossing and a lot of fun to play. Good job!

Excellent, very impressive

Puts the feeble efforts of the Cranky Hero to shame. Penny Arcade ftw

It's also avaliable on Fileplanet.

680 mb/s for subscribers. Yum.
