Your first faction.

I also started with the second game... I don't remember which faction, it was too long ago. I was still a kid back then. We played at a friend's house, three of us. (He lived on the floor below). When I got my own computer, the first thing we installed was Heroes 3: Armageddon's Blade. They brought it over and installed it right away, the whole building came to watch, some to look, some to help carry it (although there wasn't much to carry, it was a regular box). In the end, about 8 of us gathered... maybe even more, because there wasn't enough room for everyone (the maximum is 8 players). We played for a bit, but not for long, maybe one turn each, and then we went out to play. I don't remember what happened after that (but I didn't play alone, because I didn't know how to use the computer, I didn't even know how to turn it on). Anyway, later that day, or the next, we sat down to play, the three of us (me, my brother, and a neighbor... we had a lot of friends in our building). My brother chose the Elves (I think he had played them before), my neighbor took the Demons (you wouldn't believe it, he was standing with a pitchfork on a pile of burning straw... it was crazy, like the devil himself), and I chose the Barbarians. I didn't really know what I was doing, I just picked the faction with the most unfamiliar creatures (the pictures that appeared when you right-clicked were confusing, especially the first time). So, we played like that, I allied with my neighbor, and my brother played against us with the computer. I don't remember if we finished the game or not. I played Heroes 4 for the first time at a friend's house, the one who lived on the floor below, but on the other side (not the one we played Heroes 2 with). The disc was mine, and it was the English version, I think. My friend had it because it wouldn't run on my computer. It was either because my computer was too weak, or it didn't want to install, or there wasn't enough space (the hard drive was only 1.5 GB!). I don't remember exactly. I also don't remember which faction I played as the first time, but I think it was the Order. I remember running around in the desert
