Spring RTS Engine

Anyone wants to arrange a team game?
I'm unsure of what HoMaM though.
5 is latest and has an expansion,it seems to have gotten good reviews but it probably needs a good comp to play and I'm not sure how good it's gameplay is.
I know that Heroes 4 is a very good game,takes less space and is much less demanding specs wise.

I found the series to be some of the most addictive games ever! I don't have anything but HMM 2 though... (and even that not at hand). (really good sound as well...*reminisce*).

Is it really a matter of which game you have or don't have wink wink.

Ya, Ya, I've thought the same - but it's nice to have an excuse not to play a game that regularly took me half a day to play (and that was 1vs1 -hmm, maybe it was more than just one round though...). Also my comp sucks, and I don't know if I want to look into anything beyond the third (which I've already played) - though I'm sure it'd be easy enough to get into.

HOMM3 FTW!

I can play that, not the new 3d crap.

I like 2 and 3. 4 is too different and 5 is ok but is missing something, idk what.

5 visually feels too much like WoW.
3 i think is just too old also i think 4 was more balanced.

I don't think 5 is missing anything - it's very nice even on HoMM standards. HoMM 1 would be epic... purple dragons and omgwtf ghosts :) Did it even have multiplayer other than hotseat?

3 is easily the best, though I have 5 installed now and would have to track 3 down.

I would definitely be in

2 is good
3 is the best (with expansion packs and mods its fucking win)
4 is vastly different i like it but it goes a bit to far at times
5 is trying to be 3 with modern graphics its good but i dont think the graphics were needed 3 is fine and has more content with mods and expansion.

So basically 3 all the way.

I own them all with expansions so im up for playing any.

Otherside didnt you get sins?we are all still playing...
Join the sins channel in the lobby.

how big game are we going to make on HOMM3 ? by my experience 4 player games takes 20 hours to finish D:

2 was the only one. the others do not compare

Youre kidding right?


HOMM3 is like that but better GFX... and more content

I'm biased towards HoMM 2 as well - it's what I played first, and most. I did play quite a bit of Hot-Seat on 3 though and I'm happy to say that rocks as well.

Due to time constraints, I'm afraid I wouldn't be in for a game :/ - seems 3 or 4 seem to be the two favoured versions atm, for those that want to set one up (flip a coin ? ).

You know, we can play 4-10 hours at a time and then save the game and continue tomorrow

From the look of things 3 is the one. Maybe check out some mods as Otherside said.

well I personally know 3 and 4 are very good the only problem is how it will be played in multilayer.
I'm not sure about 4 but in 3 everyone takes his turn while all the other players wait.
This is boring and very very long....
In 5 with the expansions you have simultaneous moves until players engage each other so that is a big plus for 5 cause it speeds up the game quit a bit if you believe what players say.

There was a pretty nifty mod that allowed individual units to gain experience apart from your heroes.

And added more units neutrals and events,

Heres what WoG adds
