The Heroes Round Table

Why are there hearts and spades? I thought this was a Tarot deck- should have wands, swords, cups, and coins!

As I said with MM X, I don't care. Unless they release it in physical form, I cannot and will not play it, since I can't spend a week to download over a slow (DSL) flaky internet connection.

If they continue to refuse to release in NA in a non-digital format, than I don't care. I don't have the bandwidth for multi-gig downloads. Probably a lot of others do to. I think that may be the reason for poor sales as well. If a box isn't in a store, then only those looking for it will ever find ...

The original KB is a HoMM-like game, but is not attached to the M&M storylines at all. The more recent KB (The legend, Armord Princess, Crosswinds) are more RPG-ish, and are very good games in their own right. Basically you are a single hero (rather than a faction) and gather armies, fight monst...

I am using a method of exploring the map for information, and then re-loading the game and exploring a different part of the map. Do this several times, and you get information on the entire map without committing to anything. Do you think this is cheating? In single player, who cares? In multiplay...

"Might and Magic X Legacy is set for release in September as a downloadable title on Windows PC." Well, that means I'll never get it (just as with HoMM6)- I don't have a high-speed connection (only 768k DSL), and so a DVD-sized download is several days' time- assuming nobody wants to use ...

Seems similar in many ways to Kings Bounty Legions (which I am enjoying to a certain extent; I really need to reinstall Armoured Princess and finish that game- I never put it on my current system after my old one died.)

I'm in the middle of replaying The Summoning (yeah for Dos Box!) , and that's a 1992 game.

I can clearly remember that it drove me nuts switching discs all the time ... and that I was really thrilled when the DVD-ROM replaced it. :D And next week Halo 4 will ship on two discs. Here we go again. Unless Bluray becomes standard in games, you're right. If it does, then we have a few more yea...

I strongly doubt Disney will be releasing it under the Disney name. More likely Touchstone- or they may leave the Lucasfilm studios intact, and release it through there. As such, I don't think it will be made "softer" by DISNEY. Now depending on Lucas' current "vision"...

I still don't have a fast broadband connection (I'm on DSL, so it takes 6-7 hours to download 1 GB- assuming I don't use my connection for anything else during that time), and since the game is only available via download (if it is available in stores, I've never seen a copy), I cannot even get the ...

My greatest contribution to the board, damned now to languish in obscurity 'til the end of time! O curse thee, Qqd! Thou hath torn heart from breast and stamped thy foot upon it 'til it is but thin red gruel upon the trodden earth! :( For some reason, I think you have contributed more than this. Ca...

I play Heroes Kingdoms, which is run by Ubi. They have destroyed HK by making huge changes & dropping in the middle of the game. Where it once was about building heroes & cities, anything can now be had by buying seals. This includes artifacts & ” legendary heroes”. These heroes have tr...

Indeed. Somehow, I always consider the art in HoMM 2 to be the best in the whole series, regardless of graphical advantage of the later in the series. That's because newer graphics have higher resolution. That's it. Most studios have decided the good art = realistic (whatever THAT means in a fantas...

I used to have this map, long ago, but that was with my Apple ][ version of the game, which I sold once I no longer had one to run it on. I still have M&M 1 (it came with the MM6 collector's edition), but not the map :-(

Well, I finally saw the game in store for $9.95, so I took the leap. D1 & 2 were so good, will I be in for disappointment? I have not installed it yet, since I just moved to a new house last weekend and it's been more about unpacking than gaming. I have not played "any" game in about ...

I can't answer your question, but to clarify, did you mean Might and Magic VIII?

topic moved to appropriate forum.

Since they said that Heroes Kingdoms will be down until the 9th (in-game message), it may likely be more than a day that things are down.
