I have a problem.
Basically, I'm rescuing the Minotaurs, and the cutscene plays, and everything seems fine, but when I approach the main one, he thanks me for the rescue, and that's it.
Then, I exit the cave and go back in, and still, there's no one there, and all the buildings are empty. I've tried to play through it twice, and both times, the same thing happens.
Please help.

Buildings become available after you receive a quest about the Sylvan faction. And you get this quest after helping the Troll in the Iron Sands. In short, progress through the storyline, and everything will be fine.

The buildings will be populated after you receive the quest about the Alliance. And you receive it after helping the Troll in the Iron Sands. In short, progress through the storyline, and everything will be fine.

Thank you very much.
I played it a long time ago and had already forgotten about the Alliance.

I played it a long time ago, even on a 286 machine. And recently, my brother gave me all the series on DVDs, from 6 to 9. I'll say right away – this game will keep me entertained for at least six months. Right now, I'm playing with a team like this: a minotaur, a vampire from the inn at the very beginning, that cleric from Dagger Wound, a knight from the temple there, and I found another minotaur somewhere. I'm short on money – I looted some AI players, I had 24, and now I have 500. It's hardcore...

In my opinion (out of all the games I've played), the 8th installment is the coolest. After completing all the games up to the 8th, including the 8th, I started playing the 7th... and I was a bit surprised when I ended up in a flooded spaceship at the end. I found it to be quite strange.

I've noticed a trend (though it's been around for a while) where everyone is posting their party. So, here's my party (with roles):
Minotaur Knight - that's me. My role in the party is to be the main hero - I have to stay out of the fray so I don't get killed. Basically, I'm not that useful.
Ithilgor the Great Serpent - a dragon. An unkillable tank with 1000 health and the same amount of mana. Casts Fly for 26 hours. Uses Dragon's Breath in melee.
Brimstone the Great Serpent - a dragon. Similar role.
Durot the Eternal Great Serpent - a dragon. Same role + trading and identifying items.
Vertinus Tailshir the Lich - a lich. A scapegoat - if you look at the party status, it's Healthy, Healthy, Healthy, Healthy, Dead - being dead is his natural state. His only purpose is to provide a portal to the town and act as a beacon. Although, I'm thinking of kicking him out - the 3 dragons can handle everything themselves.

In short, I was slaughtering precious dragons in the Crystal Cave with 10 Dragon Shots. And I'm so bored in the Between Realms!((

Actually, there's one problem - I can't figure out the answer to the second riddle of the Destroyer. Help me, please!))

I really need help! Does anyone know what to do?
I have Windows XP. It supports DirectX 9, but Might and Magic VIII doesn't recognize it at all. I don't know how to enable it.
What should I do? Besides reinstalling Windows.

Personally, I think the idea with dragons is incredibly interesting. It's fun with them. Although next time I start playing, I decided to leave only one dragon so that I can equip the characters with more artifacts.

I don't remember Brackman exactly, but in Raven's Shore there is a library, and there is a note with these answers. So good luck!

2Diples - find the .exe file for the game, right-click on it, select "Properties," go to the "Compatibility" tab, and set it to Windows 98 or 95.

I don’t have this tab.

Does anyone know why there’s a Druid Ring in the Whispering Woods? There isn’t a single artifact there! (

It's been said a hundred times that this is a quest that was cut from the original version; they didn't finish it, and they forgot to remove the art, so it's useless. As for the artifact, either you've already picked it up, or you haven't.

Yes, I remember this game with a bittersweet feeling – one could even write a treatise about it. Nevertheless, after completing it without any guidance, it's hard to figure out what's what.

Found an interesting website =)(not sure if anyone has posted this link before). One enthusiast created it: http://alexko72.narod.ru/ It contains almost everything about Might and Magic VI, VII, and VIII. From detailed map descriptions to trade routes and "secrets." However, the file format is HTML help, which may not open for everyone. NOT recommended for those who haven't finished the game =), because after looking at everything there, it feels like you've already played it =).

Guys, you're talking nonsense. I've played this game 15 times without dragons; they're good damage dealers, of course, but you can easily manage without them. :) Necromancers also have flight. Clerics are also useless; I've never completed the game with a cleric.

Flight is also available for the Necromancer.

And who said that you can't play without dragons? Usually, everyone just writes that they are very strong.

Clerics are also useless. I've never completed the game with a Cleric.

There was already an answer to this statement:

You can argue for a long time; it just depends on how each person likes to play.
