Posts from How can we connect the fifth installment with the previous games in the series?

The project is dead. There are thoughts about reviving it, but for now, we haven't gathered enough people. Ashan is not suitable because the game takes place in the original universe. More precisely, it shouldn't be just Ashan.

better a world with 3 heroes!

So, everything just stopped? Everything just stopped?! So what if it's a different universe! So what if it's different worlds! Have people forgotten the idea of parallel universes? Besides, as far as I understand, the companies connecting parts 3 and 4 are already ready! And couldn't that cataclysm have ripped the planet out of that universe? And with its moon. In the end, it's a good idea! :smile08:

Here's a possible scenario: during the cataclysm on Xeen, some cities, along with their inhabitants, were teleported to another world by some higher powers (perhaps the Elemental Lords, who shattered the Escaton crystal on Jadame), and the events will unfold there. For those who don't know: Jadame is, in a way, a separate province of Erathia, which became independent. Its main inhabitants are trolls, dark elves, minotaurs, and dragons. Dragon hunters and clerics of light arrived from Erathia; necromancers, led by Fant and Sandro, also appeared there. The clerics occupied the northwestern corner of Jadame, the necromancers settled in a place called Shadow Peak, and the dragon-hunting knights settled near the dragons, in the Serpent's Gorge. This is a brief backstory of Might and Magic VIII, but perhaps it will give someone an idea... And I must also correct the author: the world is called Xeen, and Enroth is just the native continent of Roland and Archibald Ironfist.

Enroth will still be the best option:smile54:. And if anything, it can be said that Armageddon wiped out some factions, and the opening of a magical portal to a parallel world, which the mages opened in order to save themselves, brought new factions:smile41:.

Now, Askhan rules the world because Enroth is dead. But what happened to Axeoth?

The 5th installment has no connection to the other games in the series. It was made by a company that didn't quite understand the spirit of the Heroes games; they were more concerned with the financial aspects, and issues like gameplay quality were of little concern to them.

In my opinion, Ashan is a reincarnation of the world of Enroth after the Reckoning. There are several reasons for this: 1. Well-known heroes from Enroth are mentioned. 2. The race of dark elves, replacing the Nigon, most likely means that the previous inhabitants of the dungeons were displaced and destroyed by the dark elves who descended there.

The 5th installment has no connection to the other parts.

I disagree. There should be a connection because there are some things that were taken from the third game. For example, Sandro's cloak. Or read about the necromancer Lucretia, who was seduced according to the description. This means that Sandro as a lich and a character already existed. Therefore, Ashan is another name for Enroth, and it's a new kingdom. And the units remained the same. That is, the events in the 5th game take place after the great war, which devastated Enroth, and a new kingdom, Ashan, arose. And then there was a demon uprising, the separation of the necromancers, and so on. That is, the land is the same, but the names are different.

Given that I recently started playing "Might and Magic III," I would be interested in coming up with a way to connect my favorite "Heroes of Might and Magic V" with Might and Magic III. As I understand it, some of the factions from Enroth, the world of the third game, traveled through portals to Axeoth. This means that we need to connect the third and fifth games. I liked your theory about the world transforming into Ashan, but I have a note: Ashan is not a kingdom, but an entire world! Which, quite possibly, arose from the ruins of Enroth. As I understand it, the races have forgotten their origins, and the world has come under the protection of dragon gods. Some races perished, and others underwent changes, and, forgetting history, they created new states for themselves. Gradually developing, they once again faced the problem of demons. But their new leader, Kha-Beleth, was imprisoned. And from there, the story continues according to the history of Ashan. It all looks quite logical, and I saw in another thread that you started creating Campaigns to connect these worlds. But I would still like to see a complete version of the story. And one more thing: the story cannot be considered official until Ubisoft recognizes it. And they are unlikely to even know about such an attempt. So, I'm afraid that all your efforts will be in vain. Unless, you can create a story for the users of the Heroes World forum. It is quite possible that the plot of the next parts will not contain a random refutation of your theory.

Ashan cannot be Enroth after the Reckoning because it was created by Asha and the Elemental Dragons. The races that inhabit it are descended from the Ancients, the first mortal races created as servants of the Elemental Dragons.

And what if other gods took the virtually destroyed Enroth under their protection, brought the races out of the abyss, and as a reward for themselves, created a cult? And by the way, wouldn't you like there to be a connection between the third and fifth games?

Although, on the other hand, the connection already exists: the gameplay is borrowed from the third game, the races, artifacts, everything simply "moved" into 3D graphics with a different plot.

There should be a connection, because some things were taken from the third game. For example, Sandro's cloak.

Nonsense. Sandro and other heroes were mentioned purely for publicity, because they are "cool" heroes and everyone knows them. And to create a "connection" with the old parts, but simply mentioning the names of the heroes doesn't connect the two worlds. In general, they did it for newbies. It's just a way to lure them in.

Basically, they did it for newbies. It's just a way to lure them in.

It's not right to call those who have been playing Heroes 3 for many years "newbies." I myself have played this game and respect those who still play it. There's no "lure" here. What's written on the game's box, or what's in the content, are two different things.

Sandro initially appeared as a regular Warlock, but it seems he didn't pass the "face control" and was reclassified as an ordinary Necromancer. Later, he was promoted beyond a regular Necromancer. So, I don't see any particular connection here regarding the heroes.
