And the fifth and sixth games are not connected to that universe at all, right?
Might and Magic: Heroes VI
Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes
Heroes of Might and Magic V
Heroes of Might and Magic V: Hammers of Fate (a couple of years after the original)
Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
Might and Magic: Heroes Kingdoms (currently considered separately from the canon, as a continuation of the two possible endings of "Dark Messiah")
Were the events of Chronicles before the events of Might and Magic 1?!
