The latest expansion pack has been released. Now, certain things are clear.

One kingdom? Okay – take the first two parts of "Allods" as an analogy. A struggle of demons for survival? Meaning, with the subsequent killing of everyone else? It's all clear... I won't even mention the wars and intrigues – there are plenty of them in many games.

In "Allods," the struggle is for continents. They were released around the same time as "Heroes 3," and I don't think anything was plagiarized from there. In "Heroes 3," besides this struggle for the kingdom, there are secondary storylines. You also need to read the texts while playing. Of course, scripted cutscenes are much more convenient.

A struggle of demons for survival? Meaning, with the subsequent killing of everyone else? It's all clear...

No, it's a struggle of demons for survival so that humans and elementals don't completely destroy them. To save their lives and their territories.

I won't even mention the wars and intrigues – there are plenty of them in many games.

But not all of them are the same, and "Heroes 3" is no exception.

Back then, Cunningham parasitically and timidly attached the series' name to the popular "Might and Magic" brand at the time.

Apparently, you wrote this phrase while high (as with almost the entire post), and I didn't understand its meaning. "Heroes" is an integral part of the "Might and Magic" series. And the plot constantly intersects with it. This cannot be said about "Heroes of Might and Magic 5" and "Dark Messiah of Might and Magic."
