What are you saying, it's downright parasitic and cowardly?! And he just slapped it on?! Oh dear, Känig must be reprimanded for founding the company NWC with his friend, and (what scoundrels!) releasing M&M, then King's Bounty, and then they even released HoMM.
What a villain, right?! To a well-established brand! But who was the one who made it popular, can you tell me?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the first Might and Magic was itself a clone of Wizardry.

P.S. I probably don't understand something, there's clearly a worldwide conspiracy...

But what did you expect? :D

2 LFB, I think he meant that instead of King's Bounty 2, they renamed it and released Heroes of Might and Magic. Although his post is nonsensical...

I would never call HoMM a renamed KB2 for a number of reasons (those who played KB will understand me)! And yes, the sequel to KB was released on PS under the name HoMM, and on PC, a different game called HoMM was released, but don't confuse it with the previous one, which was on PS; these are different games and different years! And, I repeat, it was the same company (read: the same person) that made them, so there is no right to say that (I'm talking about "parasitically and cowardly").
P.S. And King's Bounty 2 did exist, unofficially, of course, because it was made by some fan (I think from a brotherly nation, I don't remember now).

A clone? – No. If anyone remembers, there was also a legendary game called D&D (Dungeons & Dragons). So, M&M borrowed something from it. And yes, you are right, also from Wizardry. But if you had played them, you wouldn't call them clones. Yes, Kenigam didn't come up with everything from scratch, but to talk about cloning..

Listen, hero, I stand by every word in my post.

Do you really think you're the only one here who can talk so "specifically"?

Besolov;127217

The game "Royal Reward" later turned into Heroes and BECAME PART OF MIGHT AND MAGIC EXCLUSIVELY FOR MARKETING REASONS.

From a plot perspective, "Royal Reward" has nothing to do with Heroes. From a gameplay perspective, yes, but only from that side. Heroes is part of the Might and Magic series, and its plot and concept are related to it.

I'm correcting you. From the point of view of the role-playing system, M&M borrowed something from D&D and Wizardry, but it wasn't a clone. And the plot and concept of the world of Kane and other storylines were invented by the NWC writers themselves.

of course he meant that DM&M and HM&M V are not part of the past of M&M, in the sense that neither is :) unlike Heroes 1-4, and not that they intersect

Yes. Heroes 1-4 and the add-ons for 3 and 4 are part of the plot of the previous M&M. The current M&M contains DMoMM and HoMM5 with add-ons.

Starhan;127415

you somehow misunderstood his phrase :) is this sarcasm or something?

No, it's just that when adequate arguments run out, sophistry comes into play.

With this phrase, you have cast great doubt on your legitimacy and knowledge of the plots of the current Might and Magic games.

Lol. I know perfectly well what the Free Cities of the East are, that Stonehelm is one of them, how Isabelle Greyhound, Kha-Beleth, and Saref are connected, why Arantir is so influential among the Necromancer, where the orcs came from, etc.

Now, about the most pressing issues: 1) A new magic spell has been added. But why so few! This is unacceptable. And by the way, how was it added? Now there's an imbalance in the magic spells; for example, the magic of Darkness and Chaos has three spells of level 5, while the others have only two. Do they think that Vampirism and Regeneration are equal? The number of spells should be the same, both in level and quantity. 2) New heroes. Why are they only in the Campaigns? Couldn't they have added at least two to the single-player and multiplayer modes (it wouldn't have taken much time to draw a portrait and come up with a specialization). 3) Sound. They removed the unit's spells:smile12:. But the voice acting in the campaign is so quiet... we hope for a patch:smile41:. 4) Neutral monsters. No new ones were added, and I would have liked that. 5) Objects on the map. There are few varieties of trees (especially for the Orcs), and mountains (there were so many in the 4th game). The Keymaster's outpost is missing, and it doesn't disappear after you pass it. Conclusion: despite all this (and these are minor, albeit annoying, issues), Tribes of the East is a great game. Simply superb!

Yes, the game is great, and hopefully, a patch will fix the shortcomings.

Just an awesome game, I've been playing it all day, and thanks to it, I even have +1 message. Thanks, Nival. ))

I finished the entire campaign. The ending cutscene could have been more interesting, and I wouldn't really call it an ending. The game is clearly not finished.

But still, this is the end! Maybe there will be a continuation in part 6):)

I hope so, because it's interesting to see how the Unicorn (Griffin) Empire changed when Frida became queen.

It's a pity that there won't be another expansion pack after all...

Well, perhaps there will be all sorts of amateur sequels, although most of these endeavors don't succeed.

or maybe it's for the best, otherwise we'll just get another batch of mediocre "Heroes" games... they don't care about the plot anymore, they only care about their wallets...

Why not? The storylines in the Chronicles were quite good, at least I enjoyed them. But I don't think they won't do something similar for the fifth installment. Maybe they'll release some small campaigns and that's it. Although, of course, I don't know anything about their official plans; maybe they promised something. It's best to ask Alan about that.

It's unlikely that anything official will be released for the fifth installment, including new expansions. And that's a good thing.

Is a few pages of arguing not enough for you? Do you want to continue?
Everyone knows you're a "seasoned veteran" here. Remember that "back in the days of Heroes III," the grass was greener, and the girls were more beautiful, but that doesn't mean it's okay to complain about it in every thread. I've played all the Heroes games, starting with the first ones, and I like them all (yes, even Heroes IV). That's just how it is. Don't think you're the only one who feels this way.
A veteran of the gaming front...
If you don't like the game, don't post in the thread about it...
