What Makes MMHO Unique?
Dear Heroes,
We've talked before about why we think Might & Magic Heroes Online is a true game, and I think we can all agree that it has all the key elements needed to be a true Heroes game.
Now it's time to tell you why you shouldn't miss MMHO and why you should try it!
In MMHO, we removed action points and chose a real-time travel mode to explore the world of Ashan and recruit new troops. This allowed us to create buffers that depend not on your movement, but on real time, and allow you to travel a lot between battles without losing this buffer due to a long journey to the destination from the point where you picked up the buffer. But this also means that there is now a waiting time - but we always make sure that you have something to do during this time.
Moreover, we have slightly changed the battle system. I'm not talking about the battles themselves; they remain turn-based, and your Hero can cast spells. I'm talking about cooperative battles. In MMHO, you can fight side-by-side with your friends. Battles will be dynamically adjusted according to the strength of your army and the strength of your friend's army, but they will be easier to win together. Both will gain experience, removing the skirmish from the game map, and this will be counted towards the quest if you fight together with a friend.
However, you can also win all battles alone. The game is so balanced that you can play and win without the help of friends.
For the first time in the history of Might & Magic Heroes, you can walk the streets of Falcon Reach and Nar-Heresh, the main cities for the Holy Empire and Necropolis. This means that you don't need a hero of that Faction; once you've traveled through several provinces of Ashan, you'll gain access to the provinces of each of the Factions and can walk the same streets as the heroes of that Faction. But there are also some closed areas exclusive to the main Faction province.
But these are only the main, obvious changes that we have made. We have made a large number of small and minor adjustments that add up to a new gaming experience in the Might & Magic universe. It is impossible to name them all, although I would like to:
- Some abilities have been changed
- The characteristics of some units have been changed, as well as their special features
- Resources will reappear on the province map after a certain time
- NPCs will reappear and can be fought again; some of them will be stronger than the first time
- And much, much more
In the end, there is only one question: why should you try it? There are several reasons:
- It's a true Heroes game in a browser
- The graphics are stunning, considering that it all runs in a browser
- It's a game that rightfully belongs to the Heroes series
Might & Magic Heroes Online is a true Heroes game that fits perfectly into the universe and history of Ashan. Every fan of the Heroes game series should try it, and everyone who has not yet become a fan should join.
Best regards,
Your MMHO-Team.
