Posts from Where did people learn to play Heroes?

That's true! But as they say, students are always better than their teachers.

and that’s true :)

Here is my story: I was in school, 6th grade, and suddenly a classmate tells me, "Come over to my place, I've got this one cool game..." So me and two of my friends are sitting at the computer and start playing... then comes the time to choose a castle. EVERYONE TAKES Necropolis, Inferno (and I thought that you weren same not supposed to play as a castle, but against that castle (AS I UNDERSTOOD IT THEN) and I take Conflux (THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE EASY TO WIPE OUT)). Then I realize I'm playing as them, and I think "F*** !!!!!! THAT WAS MY FIRST GAME AND I STILL REMEMBER ALMOST EVERYTHING I DID THERE? THEN I STARTED PLAYING AS THE Necromancer since they always appealed to me, played as them for about 3 years... then I switched to Tower, spent about 2 years on them too, and then came to Stronghold, played as them for maybe half a year, now I've been playing Swamp for 5 months, AND I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My ex-girlfriend taught me how to play Heroes. About five years ago, I went to her place, and she showed me this game. At the time, I was playing Civilization, and I saw that this was also a turn-based strategy game. I started playing, and now I've played all the installments. I just don't have much experience playing against other people yet.

A friend of mine let me play "Inferno".

My first impression of Heroes was when I saw them – “what a mess.” But then I decided to give it a try, borrowed a disc from a friend, installed it, played for a while, and got hooked :D

My friend got me into it. He kept coming over, and instead of going out, we'd play Heroes... At first, I wasn't interested, but then I started to get the hang of it.

When I had a 486, I only played two games: Redneck Rampage and Duke Nuken. But one day, a friend brought King's Bounty, which I didn't really like. Then he brought the first Heroes game. I liked it, but I didn't play it for very long. After that, I took a break until 1999, when I bought the third installment and received Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia as a gift. That's when it all started... I studied at home and occasionally went to a computer club or played online via modem. That's how I learned.

I learned to play Heroes... during my studies... :) More precisely, during my practical training... Instead of doing what I was supposed to do, I found this game (which was unknown to me at the time), HMM2, and played it almost throughout the entire training period (fortunately, the professor would let us into the classroom and then leave)... That's how it all started.

Seven years ago, a colleague of my father’s gave me a disc with Heroes of Might and Magic III. And that’s how it all began...

Oh, it's an old story.

When I was 7 years old, and my parents still worked at a computer company, they would sometimes play Heroes in the evenings, first at work, and then at home, over the network. I would stand next to them and watch. And then I wanted to play them too... It all started with Heroes III, with "The Restoration of Erathia," and that's when my Heroes addiction began.

I started with the third one, but then relatives gave me the first and second ones.

He studied... But judging by the results of the last tournament, he still hasn't learned:(((

I graduated from the Moscow Heroic University:cool: Just kidding. About 10 years ago, my dad bought a collection of games. It included some broken version of Heroes 2 without sounds, music, or videos. I couldn't even play it on any difficulty level – I couldn't even defeat simple centaurs:D. But somehow, over 10 years, I learned how to play it myself.

I am self-taught.
Only my own experience.
