Posts from Let's revive the Might and Magic universe.

XEL, I still suggest we start reviving the revival. Since you mentioned in the tasks of the Guardians of the Necronomicon clan the revival of the universe, and also based on your latest post in this thread, I suggest we start taking action. Specifically, let's write a brief general plot. The Barbarians remain as a result of the previous team's work, but what should we do next? I'm ready to start creating maps, but I need instructions on what the campaign should be about, who is fighting whom, what the goal is, etc. In short, I'm waiting for your answer and your clan's input.

Tengro, I just read this thread ))) and I wanted to say that reviving something is a troublesome task. And I don't want to mess around with the editor, but I share and support this idea! I was against a completely new world and new heroes...

I agree! Demigod with a new world is, of course, great, but HOMM is still a legacy game.

Guys, now that we have Tribes of the East and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, everything is leading to the fact that even the Heroes of Might and Magic V world will burn in the flames of Urgash. If the idea is still alive, maybe we should look at it differently? HOMM5 is not the end, but the beginning?

With the release of the 6th installment, this idea faded away. What a pity...

There are too many universes now. People are getting confused.

I will help in any way I can.

Unfortunately, Heroes 6 and 7 did not live up to expectations – these games were made without soul; they are dull and depressing. They lack atmosphere and have no connection to either part 3 or part 5. Apparently, the developers followed the principle: cheap and cheerful. As a result, it's just mediocre.

In general, I suggest we start reviving the series with this:

Believe me, this is only the beginning

Heroes of Might and Magic… When I talk about this game, I feel a thrill in my soul and a stillness in my heart. **Yes, Heroes has evolved into more than just a game; it has become a kind of standard, a monument, an ideal for turn-based strategy games.** In its 15 years of existence, this game has managed to establish the canons of the genre, become beloved by millions of gamers, occupy the highest positions in the top games of all time, and simply become a place for pleasant pastime. All these years, we have played Heroes, admired it, rejoiced in victories, and lived, albeit in a fictional but such a real world of fantasy, created by the series' scriptwriters. Some started with the very first ones, others joined along the way, with the second, third, fourth, or even the fifth part of the legend. But in any case, people who once started playing Heroes of Might and Magic forever became loyal fans of this miracle of game development. Eternally lost among the fields, forests, and meadows of the fairytale world of Erathia…

Well said, but nowadays there aren't many games like that being released.

News
The French company Ubisoft Entertainment has laid off the developers of the latest installments of the Might & Magic Heroes computer game. According to experts, the termination of the agreement was dictated by a lack of interest from the audience and low sales figures.
The sixth and seventh parts of the Might & Magic Heroes game series did not meet the expectations of Ubisoft Entertainment. The turn-based strategies developed by Limbic Entertainment became an unprofitable project for the distributor. Both parts received less than 50% of the user rating on Steam and insignificant sales figures worldwide. Ubisoft's official statement does not contain any specific criticism of the developers, but the sales statistics suggest otherwise. It is currently unknown how the "Heroes" series will develop further.
Players had mixed reactions to the sixth installment, comparing it to the more successful Heroes 3 and 5. According to experts, the termination of the agreement with Limbic Entertainment was dictated precisely by the poor position of the product on the market.

At the time, the fifth installment was relatively well-received and sold well. Therefore, the next, sixth installment was given the green light. But the sixth game severely undermined trust in Ubisoft, but it still sold relatively well (benefiting from the brand and the old guard of fans). The seventh installment was already awaited with distrust, and this distrust was fully justified. And then they abandoned the project without support, leaving it in an unfinished state with a bunch of bugs...
Ubisoft is in a difficult situation: continuing the series on their own after so many failures is simply foolish, and leaving it to gather dust as dead weight is irrational, as they have invested huge amounts of money in the project.
Perhaps we will see a new global reboot of the series, like the fifth installment once was. Under the wing of a new company, and in a new world. And in my opinion, this is rather good news, as Ashan has become stagnant and is not developing, and it has also become tiresome - fresh blood is needed.

Please provide save files for the game Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East.

If the task is phrased like this: Let's revive the M&M universe, then I'm in. I am all for a revival!

I agree! I’m totally on board. Include me too. I see that Heroes 5 has stood the test of time, and strangely enough, even the failures of parts 6 and 7 haven't diminished interest in them. I suggest we start reviving the Heroes Universe by introducing a new race into the Gameplay. What are your ideas?

Here is a great collection of information about the Might And Magic universe [thank you to admin and Katrine for their work]:

Here is a topic discussing the death of the old world in Heroes 5:
The World of Might And Magic - The NWC World - Now it is dead in Heroes 5
And here is another interesting topic created by AlexPank, which I recently came across, and which also contains part of my idea, only there the plot side is being solved, but my topic is slightly different:
Connection of Times
