Yeah... I remember when ancient weapons turned out to be blasters, I was very disappointed =((
But I still love it!!! I had so much fun playing it!:)

I really liked this version =)))

In this version, the difficulty is very high compared to others, for example, in game 7.
There are no particularly difficult places to conquer; in game 6, there's the Wolf's Lair or the Control Center. Again, the game turned out to be interesting, but with flaws; however, they removed these flaws in game 7. And game 8 wasn't particularly good; everyone was waiting for game 9, and they got it. I played it for a bit, but then I got disgusted – this isn't Might and Magic; it's more like CS. Shooting with the mouse – it's like something out of a nightmare...

Games 6, 7, and 8 were made by Van Caneghem, but who made game 9?
In short, games 9 and 4 of the Heroes series made me

IMHO, the 6th game is the best in the series. What amazing locations... The Tomb of Varn, the Dungeon of the Fire Spirit, the Castle of Alamos, and of course, the Necromancer's Castle (IMHO, the most challenging location in the series).
As for the ancient weapons, I saw the damage and threw them away. The first time, swords solved everything. But then... Blasters forever!:)

In my opinion, the 6th game is the best in the series. The locations are amazing... The Tomb of Varn, the Dungeon of the Fire Spirit, the Castle of Alamos, and of course, the Necromancer's Castle (in my opinion, the most difficult location in the series).
As for the ancient weapons, I saw the damage and discarded them. The first time, swords solved everything. But then... Blasters forever!

Yes, the locations are great! The Necromancer's Castle was really tough, it was indeed difficult.
And the Tomb of Varn is the most beautiful... When I remember those spaces... It's beautiful!
And in general, the geography of the world is excellently done. I, for example, spent a long time looking for the Castle of Alamos until I found that ship to Eel Infested Waters ;).
Regarding the ancient weapons, I saw that they teach an expert and a master of that skill, so I saved up experience points, and when I got the skill, I immediately raised it to level 13-14... :D With the monstrous speed of the blasters (I sometimes made 4 shots per turn !!!), the destruction of everything in the way was predetermined. :D

Could someone list all the skills and their levels for each class? Because I don't know how to create a party with all the necessary skills, and when you right-click in character creation, it doesn't show any limitations.

There's one trick here...
I don't know if it's a bug or not, but everything and everyone can be upgraded to Master (there is no Mage Guild here).
Meaning, a Sorcerer will become a master of the bow, etc.
Similarly, Paladins and Druids will become masters of Elemental and Ego magic respectively.
This is most likely a bug, as the teachers say something completely different.
The only thing is that any Sorcerer and Cleric can take Dark and Light magic (but only them), while a Knight can correspondingly take one and dump all non-magical skills onto him.
Basically, the final party could look like this:
Knight, Sorcerer, Cleric, Druid.
Also keep in mind that the magic system is somewhat different; for example, Lloyds Beacon can be obtained at level 1. And there is no alchemy as such. Although you can mess around with flasks, recipes are not recorded in the journal, nor is the location of teachers. But that's not the main thing...
It's no wonder most people consider the 6th game to be the best in the series.

To start, in 6mm you need to choose a team; I completed the game as a paladin, 2 marksmen, and a cleric.
There are 6 classes:

Knight-Rider-Champion
Paladin-Crusader-Hero
Marksman-Mage/Warrior-Battle Mage
Cleric-Priest-High Priest
Sorcerer-Wizard-Archmage
Druid-High Druid-Grand Druid.

I might have written them incorrectly, the localization teams did their best=)))
The next class level increases health/mana and is also needed for certain things, for example: swordmaster (requires Rider rank).
In this version, the problem with money is acutely felt.
P.S.
Anyone can become a master of any skill (with the exception that sorcerers cannot wear plate armor, and knights do not possess magic).

You start in New Sorpigal—there are various herbs lying around, collect some of them; tip 1: orange potion+purple+red (temporary +20 to level). :D

Sorry, mistake!!! +20 to level is orange+yellow+purple :D

Guys, tell me, which combination is better?
Knight, Cleric, Druid, Wizard
or
Ranger, Cleric, Druid, Wizard
And can Clerics and Wizards use both light and dark magic at the same time, or separately? And can they learn them all at once, or as they level up, and where can they learn them?
Thanks in advance.

1st option
Give the Knight all the non-magical skills: Identification, Traps, Perception, etc. By level 30, this uber machine will break through everything. And there will be many empty skill slots.
But the main advantage is that the Knight can carry the party very well due to the use of life splitting.
2nd option
4 mages. Moreover, the Sorcerer and the Archer are identical. Then it would be better to have a Paladin instead of the Archer.
I played with the 1st option.

Regarding magic. You approach the Dark/Light guild and click on "learn magic": D And both can learn both magics at the same time.
They can, as far as I know, learn them immediately.

Let's take a mage as an example. Many gamers have a strong desire to equip the mage with plate armor and give him a two-handed sword, but in theory, a mage cannot learn the corresponding skill. Okay, go to the nearest Berserker’s Fury or Blade’s End guild and buy all the skills offered to the mage. Then, continuously click on the text that says "Seek knowledge elsewhere..." (this process will take about half a minute), and as soon as you hear the sound of coins being counted, consider that the mage has acquired one new skill that was previously unavailable to him. If you want to acquire other abilities, continue the process of "acquiring" skills. After visiting both of the aforementioned guilds, it is quite possible to teach the mage how to wield a sword, spear, and axe, as well as the ability to wear chainmail and plate armor, and use a shield. This trick works for all members of the party, regardless of their age, gender, or class. No matter how you look at it, plate armor is the most durable, and in it, all characters are much less susceptible to enemy attacks, and a sword in the hands of a cleric will look much better than any mace. If you decide to use the above cheat, be prepared to spend some time on it; it is quite possible that the heroes will have to leave the guild and then enter it again. Patience, and you will succeed.

Lucky you, I have the collector's edition:( and Bugka fixed this bug, I tried, but the computer says error and shuts down:(
To Katrine: Katrine, tell me how to gain affiliation with a castle, because I haven't been on the forum for about 2 weeks:(
