Wow! As much as I liked the first part, the second one is even more energetic. We learn a couple of really interesting details about NWC's plans for M&M 10 (which were news to me at least), and there is some controversial stuff in there as well -- like Tim's views on the Ubi era M&M games.
Overall, a fantastic first interview for this new channel! Great to hear you already have a second one planned.
For that, I have just one question that comes to my mind at the moment (I might add more later):
What was your general approach when designing scenarios or campaigns for Heroes 3? Did you usually plan the map out beforehand and make sketches on paper, or did you immediately go to the editor and designed the map as you went along.

Cool!
I was wondering why the world was so small, actually. You would only expand on others' territory, but the world had no unexplored or uncontrolled continents, lands per se, really small parts, if any. There was always someone already there. And this snippet affected levels and campaigns, which could broaden the entire universe in many ways. I would like to know, if there was a plan of making the world more realistic regarding this subject.

I'm definitely looking forward to future interviews!

This is truly an excellent way to bring back an audience for CH. Great original content is always a goto.
Now, I only have to find the time to watch the interview in full, which I certainly will!

What approach did you use to make the AI support the way you wanted a map to play out?
