Unable to provide a valid explanation of why female characters would walk around half-naked in the *new* Might and Magic universe, Nival gets some help from the lowly Xena the Warrior Princess. I didn't see it coming...

Wah! Teen rating! (I didn't think it would happen, but I was hoping for something my kids could enjoy, like they enjoy Heroes IV and III.)

Wait, I thought there was 6? Academy, Dungeon, Sylvan, Haven, Necropolis, Inferno, yeah thats 6. But, yes there should be 8. Maybe include Might/Stronghold, and possibly Conflux or even another new faction.

Well, I had hoped they would do the diagonal movement exactly correct (i.e. 1,4142 moves), but 1,5 won't kill me. ;)



With that said, I don't really like the half-naked Dungeon women. Some time ago, many people were getting sick of the "damsel in distress" stereotype in popular media. Now I'm sick of the whole "pretty much, but not completely, naked Ass-Kicking Babe".

Yeh, arse-kicking babe is a bit old now. I'm sure the fat & ugly, arse-kicking moo-pig has been tried somewhere before. Or maybe, a grotesquely muscular, scantily-clad she-male is called for. Just to break the stereotype.



Like the idea of humungous maps too. Great for single-player & marathon hot-seat games.

Why is it that male characters can take every possible role and act in whatever way, whereas female characters will usually only fit into a few roles and always look like super-models?



Oh, I know the answer as well as anyone else, but as long as the industry is so clearly catering towards the hormone-driven male teenagers, they really shouldn't expect any rise in other portions of their audience.



This wouldn't be so bad if we were talking about some FPS, or MMORPG, which are much more dominated by that demographic than TBS are. If Heroes has to have lots of half-naked chicks, which game doesn't?



Oh and I completely overlooked the bit about transportation spells. I'm curious how they intend to balance them. I still remember the days of Heroes III, where Expert Town Portal and Dimension Door were by far the most important spells you had to get as quickly as possible if you didn't want to lose.

I would love to see David Hasselhoff in his red speedos as a hero! And Conan the barbarian was also almost naked, but maybe not so good looking.

Technically, they cannot do it exactly correct, sqrt(2) is an irrational number and cannot be represented with a finite number of digits. :)

I'm afraid that half-naked female characteris will mean that our family will stop at H4.
