Do you play heroes or might and magic anymore?

[Caradoc]

No. I keep meaning to download it again for my new computer, but I never seem to get around to it.

My gaming hours are filled nowadays with Fall from Heaven, the fantasy mod of Civilization IV. It has a lot in common with Heroes, but far more depth. It is a solid, well designed mod that has attracted a fanatical player base and a corps of modders of its own. There are maybe a dozen of these modmods that expand and enrich gameplay. Modding is easy, since everything is in XML and Python, and there is a worldbuilder, editor, and several map generators. The AI is very good and the game performs well on average machines. (E.g. a save/load cycle takes about 30 seconds.) And the player community is quite diverse, mature, and cordial.

Just an observation, the snow scenes in M&M VI are really outstanding. My wife, who is not a gamer, was really taken with them. I really hated to end the snow. HOMM III has some great scenery in snow. I personally find them the most pleasing.

Very true. I agree.
