Hello

Unread postby Lord Rogie » 09 Jan 2007, 01:43

I've been reading these boards for sometime,and everyone here seems nice and respectful,not like some of those other kiddie boards where everyone is always ridiculing everyone else,so I decided to sign up. :mad:
I'm currently playing Dark Messiah Might And Magic & Heroes Of Might And Magic V,and enjoying them both.
Last week I picked up the complete collectors edition of Heroes Of Might And Magic III,on E-Bay for around $13.00.I'm not very far into V.
I was wondering if I should play the third and fourth games before the fifth?Thanks in advance for any replies. ;|

Welcome to the Table!

There's is no connection between the plots of Heroes III/IV and V. They tell completely different stories with different characters, so you can play them in any order. Heroes V looks better than the previous two entries, but the two others games are well worth your time.

Welcome to the forums, Lord Rogie! ;)

Yes indeed! These forums are special :D .

Well , a lot of people think (myself included) that number 3 was the best one in the series. I personally didn't like 4 much. You can play 3 first, then play 4 and 5 to compare :-D.

Welcome to the Forums!

I really like HoMM3 and HoMM5, but I couldn't stand 4. Just my opinion though, I would play them all to see which you like best. :)

Welcome to the boards! :)

You really can't go wrong with any of the heroes games. :)

If you decide to play HOMM3 there is also a fan made mod called Wake of the Gods. And if you play HOMM4 there is a fan made mod called Equilibris that you'll want to download too.

As others have said it doesn't matter what order you play them in so maybe you'll want to go ahead and try HOMM5 first.

Wellcome to the table.

Id recomend going with HIII and HV first because HIV plays very differently.Furthermore,you should really start HIV with equilibris because it does improve the game a lot.

I must agree here that it's really good that we have a mature forum... I played some warcraft on battle net for a few days and I just got sick of all those kiddies calling themselves noobs all the time...

And all other forums where everyone bashes others and says he is the best...

All I'm trying to say is I like this place :)

Personally, I always found Heroes 2 to be the best of the series. Possibly cos it was the first one I played, having "discovered" it via a demo on a mag, then while at uni, having 8 player network games with my housemates often from 11am until 3am the next day, only breaking to pop some food in the microwave or to phone for a takeaway :D

Welcome to the boards.
All the heroes games are great, including hoom1 and 2. If you want to, you can play them all or you can just play homm5. The choice is yours.
I personally believe homm4 is a great game but different from the other homm games.

Seeing how many people began playing with HOMM III (including me) or even II, I finally begin to understand why the forum is so "mature". Maybe because we are not so young anymore ;)
