Posts from Where did people learn to play Heroes? Auto-translated

I started playing at a friend's house (together with him) =) in the second game...
After I got a computer, I started playing at home in the third game...
In general, I learned the basics (building, etc.) from my friend, and I figured out the tactics and other things myself =))).

In the early 2000s, I came to the village, and a friend showed me Heroes 3. We played all summer. In 2002, I got a decent computer and immediately installed The Shadow of Death. I still play it! In 2004, I installed Heroes 4, but I didn't like it. This winter, I installed Heroes 5, but I still prefer Heroes 3! And I still get together with friends to play Heroes 3.

I saw it for the first time at a friend's birthday party – we played Heroes III... Although, I was just watching and thought, "What is this nonsense?" – then, at another friend's birthday, I sat down to play with everyone... Again, it was at a birthday party, and I asked her if I could play – and I got hooked – I started to understand everything myself).

So, I was sitting in geometry class, and a friend who was struggling with it suggested we skip the next class and go to his place. That's how I learned to play Heroes, and unfortunately, also how I started skipping school...

As soon as I saw the heroes, I didn't like them (it was Armageddon's Blade). But then I got hooked.
I learned to play with a friend on one computer. At first, we watched the opponent's turn, then we started to look away (it's much more interesting to play, you can use interesting tactics).
We sometimes played a quick battle (especially when there were more than 2 players).
We had one minute per turn.
Sometimes I played against the computer. Here, it was always a regular battle.

In the early 2000s, I visited a village, and a friend showed me Heroes 3. We played all summer. In 2002, I got a decent computer and immediately installed The Shadow of Death. I'm still playing it! In 2004, I installed Heroes 4, but I didn't like it. This winter, I installed Heroes 5, but I still prefer Heroes 3! And I still get together with friends to play Heroes 3.

I had a similar experience. A friend came from the city and brought Heroes 3 (Restoration of Erathia, Armageddon's Blade, The Shadow of Death), localized by Buka, but all pirated and on one disc. This was in the spring of 2003, and I bought a computer for the New Year 2002-2003. We played all summer. I completed Restoration of Erathia, and my friend completed The Shadow of Death. The following summer, I bought Heroes 4. My friend didn't like it at all. But I enjoyed the campaigns. Even though they are separate, they are all interesting. And this winter, another friend downloaded Heroes 5 + Hammers of Fate for me from a file-sharing site. But I only got halfway through the first part. I'm getting old....

My father loves "Heroes". I watched him play "Heroes II" for a long time, then "Heroes III", and then I decided to try it myself and got hooked, and how!

I played King's Bounty back in some distant year (1992 or 1993 or 1994 - I don't remember) at a friend of my father's workplace on weekends. Of course, I wasn't very good at it. Then, in 1997, I played Heroes 2 on my own computer at home. And after that, it just kept going - Heroes 1, Heroes 3, Heroes 4, Heroes 5. I mostly played against the computer. Only after Heroes 3 came out did I sometimes play with friends in local multiplayer or on the same computer.

I played it for the first time at a friend's house, the second time also at a friend's, and the third time again at a friend's! The fourth time was at another friend's! Once I got my own computer, I started playing non-stop!!!:D:D

I played the fourth game for the first time about 2 years ago, and it didn't impress me. About a year and a half ago, someone brought a bunch of disks, and one of them had the fifth Heroes game. I installed it, and I was immediately hooked. I spent a lot of time playing it. I learned everything myself, playing against the computer. Then I bought a licensed copy, connected to the internet, and now I'm here with you. :smile02:

GM: It's a rather straightforward question. But since it's been brought up...

When computers and the first disks appeared, one of them contained Might and Magic II. My father showed it to me, and I played it. Then there was Might and Magic III, Might and Magic IV, and so on.
Nothing particularly intriguing, really.

Ahhhh, back when I was young...:rolleyes:
So, I got a computer:cool:. Then a classmate came over. He copied some games onto it (shooters, and other stuff, and Heroes 3: The Restoration of Erathia). At first, I didn't play Heroes, because I didn't understand what I was supposed to do. But little by little... and... I got hooked. Then I bought Heroes 4, thinking it was better, the graphics were nicer, and I wasn't playing Heroes 3 that much anymore. I played Heroes 4 for a long time. I got bored. I decided to "fix" things. I messed around a lot:smile03:, then I got back into Heroes 3 (seriously), then 3.5, and then, more recently, Heroes 5. Sometimes I played until my head started spinning:D - the early stages of losing it:D (just kidding). Well, anyway, I played with enthusiasm, thought through moves on the map, thought through battle tactics, etc. Now I hardly play (no time), only occasionally. But it's an amazing game (3, 4, and 5)!!!:smile54: :smile54: :smile54:

I apologize in advance if I'm bringing up an old topic, but it's quite interesting, and I think it's relevant to everyone. After all, the stories of the first encounter with "Heroes" are always memorable. For example, Heroes 2 was the first game I ever played on a computer. Before I had a computer, I used to go to computer clubs with friends and play various shooters and RTS games of that time. I got a computer at home quite late, when I was already finishing school. After buying a computer, I couldn't immediately afford to buy games, but a friend gave me a disc with a game that was completely incomprehensible to me at the time. I happily launched the game and experienced deep disappointment. The graphics didn't seem as beautiful as I had expected, and it wasn't clear how to play at all. I hadn't encountered this genre before. Without really playing, Heroes 2 was put on a shelf. I would occasionally return to this game in the future, and after figuring out the basics of the gameplay, the most interesting part began. I played through the campaign, but literally on the third week, a computer-controlled Hero came to my territory... and I was facing imminent defeat. Gradually, I moved away from this game, becoming interested in others, until I accidentally saw Heroes 3, The Restoration of Erathia, for sale in a store. The game captivated me; it's hard to say how much. And the development of internet technologies allowed me to find information about the game online. Reading various forums (including the famous "Heroes 3 School" on the League of Heroes website), I played through all the scenarios, Campaigns, and developed my gaming skills. Gradually, I bought all the parts, from 1 to 4. As a result, I became a devoted fan of the series. Although I don't participate in Tournaments, I still love playing various Maps in "Heroes 3," which is always installed on my computer, and Heroes 5. Heroes is a great game!

I started playing with Heroes 5. I copied the disk with version 1.0 from a friend, patched the game on my computer and his, downloaded the player's manual from Google, read it, and started playing through the campaigns. At the same time, I played hotseat games with friends, always choosing the faction that I was currently playing through in the campaign.

After the release of "The Restoration of Erathia," I bought the disk with version 3.0. I played through all the campaigns and wanted to revisit the older Heroes games. I downloaded "King's Bounty" from 1990, "Heroes of Might and Magic I," and "Heroes of Might and Magic II." And yesterday, I found a disk with the Russian versions of "Heroes of Might and Magic I-IV."

My former boyfriend taught me, and we played Heroes III non-stop for 4 years. Then we stopped playing for 4 years, but now I can't tear myself away from Heroes V; I feel like I'm seriously hooked and it's going to last a long time. P.S. I don't play any other computer games anymore.
