Well, in any case, I'm not against it and I express my support to the author in these endeavors :) , it's just my opinion.
Not everyone likes the sixth installment ;) But the campaigns from it might be enjoyable. :D

Well, that's true, but a remake is usually interesting when we see something old and almost forgotten within the framework of something relatively new, or within the framework of what is currently popular. The sixth part isn't that old, and it's quite playable in terms of single-player (campaigns) if you were to make remakes of Heroes 6, it would be worth considering remaking some of the particularly successful multiplayer maps, as playing them in Heroes 6 might not be as interesting due to the mechanics of that installment.
Just my opinion.

Now I'm thinking about the previous installments and I want to play "Wrath of the Gods":smile13: - The assault on Rilos is quite a challenge.
... И древний лес, роскошен и печален,
Блистает там воздушностью прогалин.
Но между кедров, полных тишиной,
Расщелина по склону ниспадала.
О, никогда под бледною луной
Так пышен не был тот уют лесной...

I wonder, how many people here have actually played Heroes II? (just a thought out loud).
I'll download it, play it, and give the author respect for their enthusiasm, at the very least.
Просто мне нравятся брюнетки...Поэтому и - Лукреция :rolleyes: Асха всё обращает во благо (с).:cool:

Small update:
- In the 3rd mission, the town that the player needs to capture has been blocked for the AI.

So, has anyone completed the campaign? Please share your experience.

I played a couple of missions and got a bit "fed up." It's been a while since I've seen such poorly executed and nonsensical maps. And when, in the 3rd mission, they gave me yet another new hero, and even with a different castle, the desire to continue the campaign (if you can even call this "craftsmanship") simply vanished. Best of luck to the author!

I played a couple of missions and got a bit "turned off." I haven't seen such poorly executed and nonsensical maps in a long time. And when, in the 3rd mission, they gave me yet another new hero, and with someone else's castle, the desire to continue the campaign (if, of course, this can be called a "campaign") simply disappeared. Best of luck to the author!
Thank you, I'll take it into account. If anyone else has any comments, please let me know.

Finished it. Here are my impressions. It resembles a campaign from those old Heroes games, yes. But! We shouldn't forget that back then, there weren't many elements in the editor – for example, you couldn't transfer heroes between scenarios. But now, I think it's absurd to start each campaign map from scratch with a new hero. It's not a scenario; it's three separate maps, and, frankly, they're quite weak. The terrain rendering is poor, there are no interesting features, nothing! Just go and kill. I didn't like it, sorry. I don't see any point in continuing in the same vein. I apologize to the map author for such a negative review. This is purely my opinion. Maybe someone will like it. Good luck to the author in the future, because I really like his maps.

And how about creating a scenario from the fourth Heroes game, for example, "The Lost Hero"? That would be interesting!

Creative success to the author!

Still, it's important to remember that this is a remake of the second part, which wasn't known for its good graphics. In this campaign, the author managed to convey the atmosphere of the 2nd part of the game.

Thank you for your feedback!

Well, I've decided that if I continue making a remake of the second game, I'll only do it with significant changes to the design. Okay, I'll keep working on the fourth game for now, but if it doesn't appeal to many people again, I'd better work on something of my own.

Yeah, I liked the idea of "Whirlwind of War" - I can help with icons for the main character if needed.

That's possible. I think I found a decent icon for Tarkin, but Krik's icon turned out stretched.
