trying to get back into HoMM3 myself- never been too good at it but I'm trying to learn how to properly manage multiple heroes

Which one is the best? I started V a few days ago.

3
Don't listen to contrarians who say otherwise just because 3 is the most popular.
It's most popular for a reason.

I'd say 3 is the best one overall, you can play homm3 with or without expansions. You could argue that it's better without expansions due to the combination artifacts and conflux being so overpowered.
Homm1+2 plays quite differently due to the difference in economy so I enjoy homm2 a lot.

3 will always be the best.

III will always hold up the best. It's accessible, polished, and a timeless classic.

V with expansions is great as well, but it feels very derivative of Warhammer/Warcraft in the artstyle, which I find to be interior to the classical fantasy look of III.

What is the best town and why is it the Fortress?

Meant to say "inferior", damn it.

Oh, and II is great as well. It feels a little clunky and dated compared to III or V, but it's still great fun.

Treasury is the best town.

My nigga, swamp town is best town.

that's not how you spell "necropolis"

If somebody asks me which two games of homm series he should play, I'd say 2 and 4.

if you don't mind watching someone else play to learn tactics yourself, I recommend this dude:

I went from being a scrub to beating my friends that only play on impossible difficulty after a few hours of his videos (it is a let's play, not a hits and tips video after all).

I'll give it a shot, thanks user

The first HoMM is charming and worth a playthrough

Dungeon > Tower > Necropolis > Who Cares?

>it feels very derivative of Warhammer/Warcraft

This is what I thought after playing for a little bit. I'll try 3 also. Thanks anons

Not for many years. I played 3 nearly until the disc killed itself. I remember playing another first person one. It had a section where you went to heaven (maybe?) and could talk to angels. Almost certain it was a Might & Magic game. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I actually beaten the campaign earlier this year. I don't recommend anyone attempting that, just play random skirmishes. The campaign in later missions devolve into long ass and boring attrition warfare.

>4

Sounds to me like that's Might and Magic 7

Necropolis>Fortress>fuck all else

>The campaign in later missions devolve into long ass and boring attrition warfare.

Only if you don't know what you're doing. Play very aggressively and you can wipe you're enemies out early.

How is the hd remaster of 3?
I remember being hyped for it but then hearing some bad shit, and then forgot about it.

>Nobody to have a multi-day HoMM3 autism fest with on an XL Map
Damn shame

It looked bad and they were dishonest with the advertisement.

Played a map I made with my brother. iirc it took 11½ hours to finish the damn map.

I still play the first HoMM from time to time. The fairy tale graphics are super charming, and the simpler gameplay is somehow compelling. Soundtrack isn't too bad either. Not a bad way to spend an evening beating the campaign

Just buy the original. The HD Remaster isn't worth it.

You're welcome. I would always recommend to play III as your first HoMM. It holds up the best. After you have sunk your teeth into III for a while, I would then recommend to take V for another spin. Where V really shines is in some refinements it makes to III's formula, but you need to be familiar with the classic formula of the series to appreciate them. Otherwise, it feels like a lot more lackluster of a game.

Absolutely awful. It actually looks worse than the original game, there are no expansions and I think no random map generator either. The most horrid and soulless cashgrab ever, there would be no point in playing it even if it was free. Just use the fanmade HD mod.

never again

I'd be too scared to jump into a random MP game and potentially end up with a shark. I'm real bad at these games.

Diplomacy is good though

>diplomacy is bad

...

Honestly in homm2 even eagle eye isn't that bad.

Diplomacy works differently in homm2 than in homm3 so it's not as overpowered, but it can still be good once you get it to expert.

considering there are less skills in HoMM2, neither of those are a bad option, especially not diplomacy.

finally

and then Black Dragons killed your troops.

>Fortress

Do they have diamond balls then?

>nobody will ever make video games that become as timeless and fantastical as HoMM3 again

Just saw a barbarian hero with black dragons in the eastern ocean of that map where I have my main hero(with no titans).

Would cost more than most fights since I rely on my lightning bolts atm.
Have 7 bone dragons and lots of pikes and swords though.
Got two different groups of pikemen and master swordsmen through diplomacy.

I think they go on their eyes.

Cove.

G-g-games are better now OP

It's really well made, blends in seemlessly.

Damn shame Kronwerk and Cathedral never ever.

mother fucker

3>5>2>4>1>6>>>>>

I always liked Kohan better. Except for 2.

Should I get Homm3 hd or complete?

complete
HD takes the unique art style of HOMM and takes a sloppy shit all over it

HD makes it look like a remaster as done by Todd. Garbage.

HD is cancer because it has no expansions. You are locked to base game only with it.

...

Thanks.

Will HoMM ever recover?
Or will Ubisoft keep giving the license to the lowest bidder and the series is kill?

HoMM is dead because they can't turn it into le epik open world explore da map gaem.

Where do you fit in the loot crates? Where do you fit in the multiplayer? AA and AAA games do not get made unless they include one, preferably both of these things now.

>Where do you fit in the multiplayer?
Where it has always been friendo.

Freyda is for ______

>fit loot crates
Town skins and actual towns, you fucking nerd.

Total War and Civilizations are both strategy games, AAA and make money. You'd think Ubi would try to make HoMM their big strategy franchise.

32167

...

I think I prefer the artifact over the grail

>Seamen

>Where do you fit in the loot crates?
Town skins, unit skins, hero skins and unique heroes. Maybe even maps.

>multiplayer
user, I...but I get what you mean. Just make a ranked ladder with leagues and dailies for lootboxes and such.

But the real way to monetize a game like HoMM is DLCs. Just look at Paradox games. It's not hard to make a new town and a few maps every other month and sell them for $19,99.

Ubisoft should hire me.

I feel you man. I have to consciously force myself to play with more than one hero. Even when that succeeds, the other heroes tend to be just army mules for the top guy.

I love this game but the allure of one big ass army instead of several smaller ones is too great. I will forever be a homm3 brainlet.

Speaking of brainlets, pic related

Get complete.

Download the free HD mod.

Download Horn of the Abyss for a high-quality fanexpansion.

HD release is shit because no expansions.

at least it was dirt cheap

Why is there no such thing as fantastical adventure games like this that feel like they have infinite possibilities? Is it because I'm in my 30s now or were games really more inspired then?

Imagination is dead in Western video games. Everything has to be boring and realistic these days, and as wide as an ocean but as shallow as a puddle (unless you buy the DLC and like 10 lootboxes, of course)

In aaa yes, but you can find indie gems here and there.

Ubisoft aren't the smartest, after 7 sucked balls they couldn't figure out why

No because I don't know where to start and I don't know what the gameplay is like.

Slow down Satan

to this day i can still hear the soundtracks from the three games in my head whenever i want, it's like they've been copied onto my brain

Should I apply the 2.0.1.17 patch from GoG or no?

>HoMM2
Nigga you got some nice taste.

3HD is great on tablet...

HoMM has some nice soundtracks.

Only purple left on the island now, here are my wizard heroes.

>Started to play during homm 4
>Brother keeps telling me that 3 was the best
>Buy the pack on GOG
>can't get 3 to run properly.
>To lazy to fix it
So anyway. 5 is still fun right?

Just get this

poke

V is by far the best.

Thanks anons. Anything I need to know about before going in?

this is the one for me

Did any of you guys play HoMM 3 on Heat.net back in 1999 / 2000?

Those were the fucking days man. I remember playing with 3 other people on those XL maps and they would literally take an entire day. Start at 10am, finish at like 5 or 6pm. You'd get lucky if someone would stay for the whole game though.

Download Homm5.5 to boost AI turn waiting.

If you're going to put of in the acronym as o then you should also acronym the and as a or &. So either HMM or HoMaM

Everybody's been calling it HoMM since the beginning of time, try to keep up, soyboy
