Posts from Which series in the Heroes Chronicles did you like the most?

Actually, I played it a long time ago – I learned how to play and gained all my experience starting with Tarnum. The game is awesome :smile18:, even though I completed it. Now I remember what it was about, so I can't say for sure which series I liked the most!!! :smile39:

None at all!!! Absolute nonsense!!! If you're going to play, just play the battles! All the Chronicles were made in a hurry and only to squeeze money out of players!

I really liked Inferno and Clash of Heroes.
I generally enjoy playing through campaigns.

Probably "Clash of Dragons", although they also added too many unnecessary things there. In general, I like the campaigns from "Armageddon's Blade" the most.

the underworld and the icy blade (he strangely lost it??)
and what Jelly managed to do, well, that brought him a lot of joy!!:smile10:

Chronicles of Heroes: Elemental Guardians and the Uprising are not bad.

The coolest company is Dragon Battles. And Ice Blade is a complete cheat. One Azure Dragon is enough to kick the butt of a decent army, including Jell, and when you get the Blade, the walkthrough turns into a farce. What's the point of such luck? And when an AI with 30 Angels runs around the map in the swamps on the 3rd week, that's just ridiculous.

They're all too easy; I only got seriously stuck in Dragon Battles, so I voted for them.

haha... I also got stuck in the dragon battles... they hit me with azure and crystal attacks, demons.

Laari, you need to complete those missions quickly! In missions 4 and 7, speed is the key: gather about 10 green creatures (dragonlings) and rush to defeat the enemy, otherwise, they will overwhelm you. In the seventh mission, don't build a castle; instead, construct a town hall and an archer tower to train archers with Tarnum. The final mission is quite easy if you engage Mutara early and defeat her.
P.S. Chronicles was my first experience with the Heroes series, so I consider myself an expert on it.

Right now, I'm playing through Clash of Heroes, but I don't remember what I voted for... I think it was for Ice Blade, because it has the most interesting storyline, although Antagarich's death was, in my opinion, the death of 3DO; Chronicles and Heroes 4 were less successful financially, The Coming Storm and Warriors of the North were even more of a failure, and M&M9 completed the agony, although 3DO had problems even without NWC.

There are two more Chronicles, but they can't be considered canon because they are non-commercial and contradict the Might & Magic universe. Of the Chronicles, I liked Uprising, Lords of the Elements, and Ice Crown the most, as they are the most interesting and don't contradict the Might & Magic universe. The Underworld is just awful. I do consider it canon for the Might & Magic universe, but why invent some kind of Underworld with demons (!)? We know that Might & Magic demons (except for the demons from the Brood armies) are not really demons, but a small army of Krygann cosmic conquerors (very similar to demons), which suffered heavy losses due to the ancient weapons that remained on Enroth, were weakened, and only established the demon kingdom of Eofol, which fell. The remnants of the Krygann army were destroyed, the survivors hid, and during the Reckoning, taking advantage of the situation, fled to another world conquered by their brethren. A small but strong group of them moved to Axeoth, where they joined the forces of Goldot the Undead, who came to that world.

Rebellion and Armageddon's Blade are the best, both in terms of storyline and gameplay....
As for Elemental Guardians, it's not very interesting to play, it's too easy.

The existence of gods on Axia (which causes all the plot inconsistencies) in M&M and HoMM4 (with expansions) is explained in two books by Jerry Gravelle about M&M, which explain that the gods of Axia are people who rebelled against the Ancients and, with great effort, overthrew the Guardian, disrupting the energy network of Axia. However, inconsistencies remain in the Chronicles. Moreover, these are the most unpleasant inconsistencies because they were the last ones that NWC or the authors working with them either corrected or failed to correct. There are two such inconsistencies: the existence of the Ancestors – the gods of the barbarians – and the existence of the Underworld (it would be understandable if there was at least a war with the Ancestors of the Nogits, but no, demons are also found there). These last inconsistencies are the only thing that spoils the excellent M&M universe created by John Van Caneghem.

rebellion and the blade are the best in terms of both plot and gameplay...
but Elemental Lords is a weak game, it's very easy to play.

I'm not arguing:) But Elemental Lords has a good plot.

And in terms of gameplay, all the Chronicles have significantly degraded compared to the rest of the third Heroes games.

All the Chronicles are great... it's not Heroes 3, it's a story-driven game where you understand the meaning of the Chronicles by delving into the details... and if you want to fight, wield a sword, then Heroes 3 is for that:smile13:

I personally liked Clash of Dragons - well, there are dragons, and I just can't understand what's so bad about Jellu?

All Chronicles are magnificent... this isn't Heroes 3, it's a story-driven game for a Walkthrough, where by delving into the essence you understand the meaning of the Chronicles... and if you want to fight or swing a sword, that's what Heroes 3 is for:smile13:

As for me, I liked Dragon Skirmishes — they are dragons, after all, and kill me now but I don't understand what's so bad about Jelu?

AND HEROES HAS NO PLOT???? Yes, the plot in Heroes and Might and Magic is five hundred times better; I wrote above about the inconsistencies with the M&M universe in Chronicles. The plot of Chronicles is good, but the existence of the World Tree in the world of Enroth (for the Ancestors and the Underworld, if you think logically for a couple of minutes, a logical explanation appears) — no, that's something I won't forgive the H3 players for:)
