Uh.
Guys, are you really unaware? O_O.
This quote – "From darkness, brighter than a thousand suns" – is a quote from the incredibly old Indian epic "Mahabharata." It describes the use of mega-weaponry by the gods. More precisely, it's something like: "From darkness, light was born, brighter than a thousand suns."
And during the first test of the atomic bomb, the head of the development team, Richard Oppenheimer, said exactly this phrase when he saw the "BOOM."
So, "brighter than a thousand suns" has long been associated with a "major nuclear explosion."

That's why I was a little surprised.

Heh, I was right, after all))) the symptoms haven't changed.

Heh, I was right, yes))) the symptoms haven't changed.
I googled the following version:
"During the first atomic test, on July 16, 1945, Oppenheimer recited a passage from the Indian epic Bhagavad Gita:
"If the radiance of a thousand suns
Were to burst out all at once,
It would be like the splendor of my Lord.
I am become Death,
The destroyer of worlds."

The same is in the English Wikipedia.
Армия баранов под предводительством льва сильнее армии львов под предводительством барана.

God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns...

Hmm.
So, it's a legend.
Not the Mahabharata, then.
Anyway, there was a phrase.

P.S.
Or not.
The Bhagavad Gita is part of the "Mahabharata".
So, yes. But there might be an inaccuracy in the exact translation.

I didn't know about Oppenheimer and the Mahabharata, but I was already aware that the phrase "A Thousand Suns" is associated with nuclear weapons, and the expression "Brighter Than a Thousand Suns" is accordingly associated with an explosion.
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.

I don't feel like discussing it.
when Heroes 6 comes out, I probably won't write much outside of WoW.

can this graphics really be considered worse than the ones in Heroes of Might and Magic V? Heroes of Might and Magic VI clearly has superior graphics.

For me personally, the graphics aren't that important; the most important thing is that my computer can handle it.

In the fifth installment, the graphics are the worst of all the games in the series.
Wikipedia
In the original English version of the game, the town types have the following names: Castle, Rampart, Tower, Inferno, Necropolis, Dungeon, Fortress, Stronghold, and Conflux. In two cases, the translation is not entirely accurate – the word rampart means defense, stronghold, or rampart, while in Russian, bastion has a clear meaning as an element of the fortifications of fortresses from the 17th-18th centuries. A more accurate analogue of Conflux would be the Russian word "slyanie" (merger) or "sopryazhenie" (conjunction). However, in Heroes of Might and Magic III½: In the Wake of Gods, Conflux is translated as "sopryazhenie" in the Russian version.
Who is this heretic who wrote this? The guy played the Platinum Edition, glanced at the expansion, and ran to edit the article.

My computer won't be able to handle such terrible graphics, so I won't be able to play.
And the graphics are just as bad as in Heroes of Might and Magic V, maybe a little better, but because of that "little bit," the requirements will exceed my computer's capabilities.
The griffons are hideous!
