Posts from Which installment of the Heroes series had the best campaign storyline for you?

That's all well and good, but what does it have to do with the plot?

:) It all depends on what one understands by "plot." For me, the plot is the structure of the campaign itself. I read all the text before and during the campaign superficially, just to make sure there's nothing useful (no hints) for completing it. If there are any hints for completing it, then I read all the messages from the campaign carefully. In "The Gathering Storm," there's a great plot – five heroes in five campaigns must collect certain artifacts by defeating evil wizards who possess them. In the sixth campaign, these heroes meet up with their loot to defeat even stronger enemies. It's also cool that now these acquired artifacts can be redistributed among the heroes so that, according to each hero's skills, the effects of the artifacts can be enhanced, or everything can be given to the coolest one, and what doesn't fit can be distributed among the others. In other words, this plot forces the player to develop each hero in a certain way throughout all the campaigns, knowing which sets of artifacts he will receive at the beginning of the sixth campaign, and accordingly, he needs to decide who to develop, what magic to master, and what artifacts to give to whom in order to get the maximum effect from each of the heroes in the sixth campaign – otherwise, they'll just get crushed. And also, to successfully complete the sixth campaign, they need to try to stick together and not wander around alone. At least, this set of campaigns is the most playable – there's such a concept – and therefore, the storyline is also good, in my opinion

I liked the fifth game the most, but the third one was also good; the "Armageddon's Blade" campaign was enjoyable.

In my opinion, the first place goes to 2 heroes: Wars of the Succession. The second place goes to 3 heroes - The Shadow of Death: The entire campaign. And the third place goes to the 4th installment - Excalibur: If I'm not mistaken, it's "Ascension to the Throne".

Parts 1, 2, and especially 3 are excellent. Part 4 is not very good. The units and buildings are very small, and there is too much detail overall, and it's all very tiny (it immediately made me want to play the second game with its larger characters). Also, the Haven faction is clearly superior to the others (especially the magic of the genies). The fifth game is slightly better than the fourth. All the objects are larger, and there is a good storyline. I would say that the glitches when going through underground levels, the reduced role of magic, and the increased role of melee combat (balance is needed:), the excessive number of hero skills (in principle, this is not bad, but if you increase the campaign by about 10 times), and the reduced role of artifacts are drawbacks.

Sorry for the off-topic post...

reducing the role of magic and increasing the role of melee combat (balance is needed:) )

Hmm... I've always thought the opposite... it's hard to imagine a decent hero without at least one school of magic, and I often level up Necromancers and Wizards with 2 magic skills... And a Warlock with two magic skills is also a viable option...

too many hero skills (in principle, this is not bad, but if you increase the campaign by, say, 10 times)

But why level up everything? Choose what you need most. ;) And besides, the more skills, the more leveling options, the more interesting the game. :)

That's exactly what I'm saying – it's a DISADVANTAGE when there are few magic skills. Read more carefully:)

But I'm saying that by the time you level up a hero, the campaign is already over, and you don't get to enjoy the benefits of the leveling.

The campaigns in Heroes of Might and Magic IV, especially the last three, are great. I like that, in addition to tactical and purely military themes, the plot also incorporates a love story (Elvin), philosophy (Gauldot), and rogueish intrigues (Tawn). Although Gauldot's campaign is something else entirely. When I played it, I didn't expect such depth of thought from a game that usually focuses mainly on politics.

in the 3rd.

one:D, it all started with it! And otherwise, all the Chronicles from the 3rd game. Super!:smile20:

I liked the storyline in Heroes of Might and Magic V, especially with the expansions. And in Might & Magic: Heroes VI, it's just crazy. Right now, I'm on the 2nd mission as Zephyr and want to find out what happens next.

I don't like the Chronicles because you have to play with the same hero.

I don't like the campaigns because you have to play with the same hero.

But in my opinion, it's much better than in Armageddon's Blade; you can train your own hero to fight against you.

The Restoration of Erathia and Heroes 5.

:sm Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The most interesting storyline is in Heroes of Might and Magic V (I've only played Heroes of Might and Magic III, V, and IV). It's the storyline that makes you want to play through the campaigns. In Heroes of Might and Magic III, for some reason, the campaigns aren't as appealing. Maybe it's just that it doesn't compare to Heroes of Might and Magic V anymore.

The most interesting one in the trilogy and in the fifth game.
