The Heroes Round Table

I do hope people here are familiar with Morroblivion and its chequered history. Don't want Ubisoft to do the same to this project that Bethesda did with them.

If you're dealing with Enroth/Colony, then M&M 6/7/8 are the ones you'd need to take a look at. The 6-7-8 merge mod for 8 is a good way to play them, too.

Even if the original project is dead, its source code is available (as it has been declared "public domain" by the original author). Which means a new project can be forked from this one.

Also, if you're a liche or zombie, a wetsuit shouldn't exactly be required should it, being undead and all...

Yeah, over-ambition kills a lot of projects, fan or otherwise. But keeping it small, like this, does pay off.

Dunno if the guys doing the MM6/7/8 engine recreation are still working on it, but you may want to try talking to them? https://github.com/pjasicek/OpenMM8 - not been touched since August though.

Heh, someone was doing a remake of another RPG classic (Fallout) using the (GZ)Doom engine, and it turned into "Shadows of the Apocalypse". https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=50205

Nice to see projects out there paying tribute to games like these.

Surprised it's got this far, then.

Received an email this morning for a mobile M&M "strategy RPG" for Android and iOS called Elemental Guardians. Not heard of this one before - anyone else know anything?

The only way you are going to get a reliably working save game editor for the combined 6-7-8 games is to write one. And there isn't much point at the moment because things are still in flux.

Interesting, taken a look at Daggerfall Unity at all for inspiration?

M&M has clearly been sliding down the corporate importance pole for a while now, but with the failures of VII and Showdown, I would be astonished if they want to revive (or otherwise use) the franchise at this point.

At this point, I'd say M&M is (all but) dead.

http://www.moddb.com/mods/chronicles-of-might-and-magic - found this for Mount and Blade. Interesting. I think a M&B-styled M&M game could have the potential to be really good indeed.

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.

Dunno where to put this, and I don't recall it mentioned anywhere, but: http://www.tweaktown.com/news/57201/ubisoft-developing-new-aaa-pc-strategy-game/index.html This might well be bullshit, might well not be a M&M-related game, might be something totally different. Just wondering if anyone her...

The original Might and Magic Heroes Online in China was also in the NWC setting. Hmmm.

Also, as a tangent: could Tencent become a white-knight style bidder for Ubisoft versus Vivendi? I note Tencent owns about half of Epic Games.

Why Antagarich and not Ashan?

So, is this dead then?

If this is the wrong place, I apologise, but I didn't find any (recent) threads on anything to do with the more obscure facts and connections to do with the world of Might and Magic. Not really meant as a trivia quiz type thread, just a "do you know"-type. Such as: does anyone know what co...
