>aged perfectly
>excellent soundtrack
>huge replay value
>local and online multiplayer
>amazing huge expansions
>each faction plays different
>balanced
>map editor
>shitload of maps
>active community of moders even 17 years later
>big rooster of heroes with different abilities
Find some flaws, I can't think of any...
Inferno
...
balance issues but other than that it's perfect
with hota ballance changes homm3 is literally perfect
that the HD ver doesn't have the expansions yet
other than that it's a perfect game aside from old game compatibility issues
Personally it's the best game ever made
>that the HD ver doesn't have the expansions yet
and never will, fuck ubisoft
Aren't magic schools unbalanced? Aren't Water and Air much better than the rest? I haven't played it but that's what I hear.
I'd say air and earth but that's just strategies
Mass slow and mass haste and resurrect and such are really strong
But no one is locked to schools so I'd say it's fine
That's the problem
They don't smudge in there graphics for the expansions
I don't even care about the campaign just smudge in conflux and more map elements and artifacts and I'll be happy
Won't happen though
...
>adore Delano
Fire has Berzerk which alone is worth the price of expert skill
Nope, it's 10/10, literally perfect in every way
but the original looks better than the HD version, so I don't see a problem
These guys even had nigga nights before it bothered anyone.
But Necropolis is literally best faction in entire franchise.
is this an unitinu edit?
the problem is getting multiplayer to work on the original is a lot harder than with the HD one
I mean me and my friend just hook up via lan cables and usually it's fine but once one of us change OS or get new Pcs we start getting errors again
>he doesn't know about Castle
>playing Ubi version
>when gog has HD full edition
>for cheaper price
I never stated differently
inferno is shit
>single spell that is designed just to rape undead
I mean, it doesn't do that much damage, but if you're tower it's an easy win
Just hitting every single enemy unit and none of yours is pretty good
also didn't we end up accepting that Conflux is the strongest?
How are your dragons doing? Still suck? Too bad.
>he thinks I don't have every single version of every HoMM game there is
Even if it's a piece of shit if it has the HoMM name on it I'm throwing my money at it like a retard
It's a shame that dumb americans are too simple minded to truly appreciate this gem.
Who needs dragons?
>single spell that is designed to rape everything but undead
>the problem is getting multiplayer to work on the original is a lot harder than with the HD one
ahh, see, I never played it on multiplayer except for hot seat at least once a month
I'm sure there are ways to set it up that not only give you the option to play all the expansions, you also won't have to play ubisoft, it's a win-win
No Forge
I think the only problem was that hotseat and multiplayer games took tons of time and commitment.
Also I felt like endgame always boiled down to haste artifacts and how many arch angels you had.
I mean hot seat always works, but depending on how many you are and where you live, getting regular multiplayer that doesn't DC every 5 turns would be good
>losing anything ever
Casual
Download Gameranger. It's how people play HoM&M3 multiplayer.
don't get me wrong chum necropolis is my fav faction in every HoMM and I'll shit out a thousand skellies before turn 4 but that spell is a bit of a counter
raise undead is kinda broken though
Post best music
just play on medium maps
L and XL are tedious as fuck
I use Evolve. Works fine, it's HoMM itself that usually shits itself. I mean, we just save and re-load, but it's a bother and the game is slow enough as is.
HoMM 5 has simultaneous turns, but once you get too close it auto offs.
I was spoiled with the music in this game as a kid. So grateful, Before that it was my neighbours dadrock
It's one of my all time favorites and it makes me cry that sprite graphics are so out of fashion except for what, king of fighters and even they stopped doing it.
HOWEVER
It gets a bit stale with all the useless skills and crappy balance once you play it a lot. Horn of the abyss and in the wake of the gods makes it greater
>HoMM 5 has simultaneous turns
How does that even work?
Did anyone else love that one custom scenario in homm3 with all the mythology triggers?
It was great fun but sometimes the ai would get to strong and fuck up all the triggers
it has some balance issues with items, spell schools, and factions. Otherwise its as close to perfect.
Everyone moves at the same turn, then they hit end turn and wait till everyone finishes their turn.
There's also a turn timer I think.
It's the exact way that Civ games have simultaneous turns.
Homm4 was a mediocre game but the soundtrack man
youtube.com
Rob King and Romero are gods
There's a timer kicking down for each turn and people can move simultaneously at the same time during that, once the timer for current turn is at the end, new turn starts.
Rinse and repeat until you get too close to eachother.
People can also press end turn button on their end if they are done with their actions before the timer runs out, but new turn won't begin until everyone press the end tuirn button or the timer reaches the end.
i want a dark messiah sequel
Not happening, Ubi explicitly said they want to leave the ending open to interpretation and not step on player's choice.
Play Heroes V then
>mfw I wiped my ass myself for the first time was when my older brother has built the lich building and I had to see it
>Might and Magic will never be good again
hold me
Can you kick in V?
H5 is a prequel to Dark Messiah you moron.
I mean the expansions
you are not helping your case user.
Fortress.
This
Mods fix it though
>rob king
Romero is the one pulling the weight
rob king is like the silly sidekick, he helps with some generic stuff sometimes but Romero makes all the beauty
What's my case? I play whatever incarnation of H3 I want, fuck off.
Everything in H5 is a prequel to Dark Messiah you humongous niggerlord, expansions included.
H5 Isabel is kidnapped.
In expansions you learn Kha-Beleth raped her in Sheogh, save her but she's pregnant and retires.
She's Sarerth's mother.
Play the games you cockmongling shitstain since you clearly haven't, or have attention spy of a fly and memory of an 80 year old with alzheimer.
Wait, is there a Forge mod that doesn't look like absolute turd?
I played random XL map today and I was isolated by terrain and couldn't reach other kingdoms (no flight, dimension door)
Let's be honest here. It was surpassed a long time ago
haha, you're a funny man, phil
I know they're easily the worst faction in III but Is Inferno any good in HoM&M5?
There's the VCMI one
Best game ever casually.
The moment you start to udnerstand how everything works and how theres really only 1 way to build your 'main' hero, it gets pretty dull.
>VCMI
Ugly 3D renders. It just plain looks ugly compared to HOMM 2. Also the story was uninteresting.
Still a 10/10 game, but it's not flawless
shooter stacks
MORE HORNS
I agree, I thought HOMM 2 was much more visually pleasing.
Why are shooters so OP
How's the HD version?
If bad, what's the alternative?
Oh yeah?
>balanced
>conflux
What's wrong with it?
>Soul Suckers from MM6
Nice
>Also the story was uninteresting.
That's because the most interesting story hook related to might and magic and the ancients was removed.
everyth ing
Dont shitpost with AoW3. I fucking love that game.
what's your point, phil? That game doesn't even come close.
>conflux
>What's wrong with it?
Are these the ones who were supposed to be in the legit one or just something made-up?
>a zillion elemental resistances
>spell level immunities
>Phoenixes rebirth
>all of it
...
Not translated right? Sigh...
replied the wrong post
my baddd
God I love Ledroit.
They replaced two units with their own designs (Dragon Golem was original T7 unit for Forge and Naga Tank was original T6) and gave better renders to the others. Also retiered the cyborg minotaurs.
...
I'm sorry but I don't see how they're unbalanced. What, because they get multi-attacks with mind elementals? Big fucking deal. Are the Phoenixes also an issue just because they regenerate? Well, they're fucking Phoenixes. Grow some balls.
Not enough spikes.
>a peek inside the mind of necro and conflux players
Have the Russians tried a Kickstarter to make Not Heroes of Might and Magic? Ubisoft clearly does not give a shit so the franchise is dead in their hands.
but reddit didn't make that
...
This is the original lineup. iirc it was an early preview screenshot so a lot of the units look rough. The concept is still awesome.
Could you beat a Russian at HoMM3 Sup Forums?
