Posts from Heroes of Might and Magic: Archibald, Part 1

Name: HoMM: Archibald Part 1
Map name: SW: Archibald p1
Type: Campaign
Number of scenarios: 3
Campaign author: WizardNazyr
Campaign description: All the troubles began three years ago, when the old king, Lord Ironfist, passed away.

The king left behind two sons. Roland was kind, honest, and noble, while Archibald was... not so good. According to tradition, the heir is chosen by the royal seer, but he died in a tragic accident during a sea voyage. His successors were also unlucky: Frederick fell out of a window, Roberta was killed by a dragon, and Johann died of food poisoning.

Archibald accused Roland of murdering the seers and issued a proclamation against him. Fearing for his life, Roland fled to his castle in the west.

With Roland gone, Archibald managed to influence the decision of the new royal seer. He chose Archibald, and Archibald crowned himself the next day.

Thus began the war of the heirs.

From the author:
The campaign is a remake of a part of the original campaign from Heroes 2.

I ask everyone who has played it to vote - is it worth making a sequel or not. - http://www.rupoll.com/qbmraczusp.html

Okay, let's play.

New campaign! Great news!

A flat, uniform surface like a table. On it: we jump and jump over a bush, we jump and jump and jump over a pile of ore. I haven't played the second game. Is it the same in the original?

Yes.

indeed, a flat landscape is not ideal.

Is it worth making a sequel or not?

It would be worthwhile to rework the landscape, and in general, since you like making remakes so much: I would play "Whirlwinds of War" (I once made a multiplayer version of the siege of Rilos with five armies for Heroes 4).

It makes sense to rework the landscape, and in general, since you like making remakes so much: I would play "Whirlwinds of War" (I once made a multiplayer version of the siege of Rilos with five armies for Heroes 4).

I was thinking about Heroes 4, but there are difficulties like heroes moving without armies or multiple heroes in one squad.

Yeah, everything's fine, author. The landscape could be tweaked, but not at the expense of the original.

What does this have to do with it? - A remake will not repeat the gameplay of the original in any case - Heroes 5 differs from Heroes 3 and Heroes 4.
Regarding remakes - you could try to implement events from other games in the Heroes 5 setting.

1) Each installment of Heroes differs from any other ;)
2) I'm currently working on a prologue featuring characters from Heroes 5 (I'm not very good at scripting, though).

2) I'm currently working on a prologue featuring 6 heroes (I'm not very good at scripting, though).

What's the point of making a remake of something newer (Heroes 6 isn't as old as Heroes 3 or 4)?

what's the point of making a remake of something relatively recent (Heroes 6 isn't as old as Heroes 3 or 4)

Not everyone plays Heroes 6, but they still want to be able to play it. So...

Well, in any case, I don't object and want to express my support to the author for these endeavors :) , it's just my opinion.
