Heroes 6 - Discussion

I didn't count how many new fans appeared after the Orcs, as I don't have such statistical information, but the fact is that the Heroes series itself isn't the kind of game that attracts millions of players worldwide; the format is a bit different. Turn-based strategy is quite rare these days and appeals to a niche audience. It's unlikely that many modern players would get hooked on such a game, and most of the fanbase seems to be concentrated in Eastern European countries; I don't know why. Therefore, I think that the sales figures for Heroes 5 and its expansions are satisfactory, especially since there is no DRM at all, unlike Assassin's Creed with its online protection.
