    David Mullich should really someday join up with some of the modders and create a new heroes-like game. Ubisoft is certainly not doing anything great with the IP.

    In the future, even though I am 60 years old I will still play this game.
    This game is the game I love the most.
    A lot of memory...Nostalgia

    I was about seven when I first played HoMM III. It was like a new world had opened itself to me. Whenever I would take a walk in the forest, I'd imagine wood elves, unicorns and centaurs hiding behind the trees. Whenever I visited the snowy hill tops, I imagined great blue capped towers looking over the lands, with gargoyes flying about and magi practicing wizardry. Now, almost 20 years later, I still play it time to time, even after having finished all the campaigns at the highest difficulty. I love introducing it to friends, and never have they been disappointed. It is a true masterpiece, that will go on living for as long as I do, and hopefully, most likely, ages after that. Thank you, all who made it a reality.

    Italian player here, I started playing in 1999 because of a friend of my father. They used to play chess and strategy games and one day he comes with this CD of a new game. I remember being behind the screen with my family trying to understand how to play. It was love from the beginning bc it's an instant classic: the music is amazing, the creatures are perfectly designed and it's clever. It felt like a virtual and realistic version of Magic the gathering, which I loved, but couldn't really appreciate. Heroes III should be way more popular, yet the community around this game is amazing.

    I have Heroes collectors edition on my shelf, all games in a big beautiful box and I'm waiting for my all in edition of Heroes 3 board game... and played the game again today. Horn of the Abyss and Heroes HD mod are amazing!

    • @colinyoung3685
      @colinyoung3685 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I bought Heroes 3 many times over the years, starting with the base game then complete edition, then various bundles and digital versions, I even had all the chronicles. I wish I'd kept my originals but moved country and left a lot behind.
      I've also gone all in on the board game, but have it sat in its box at the moment. Have you played yet? How did you find it? I was always a Gunnar main so wanted to try and homebrew him in.

    Love heroes 3. My first experience with the game was when I was about 6 or 7 years old. I remember seeing my friend play it on his computer. I described it to my dad as some kind of space game, since the fog of war kind of looks like stars. Anyways I got the game not long after and I've been playing it since. Me and a couple IRL buddies still game sometimes on it. Long live the online community!

    I really love the Heroes Chronicles (which is Heroes 3 essentially).
    The story of Tarnum led me to Heroes 4 and it is my favorite game, though I do cherish them all.

    I played this game at 6 years old on my dad's pc, I still love it and it's community to this day, and I'm American, it takes a lot of effort to keep my attention, if that doesn't speak volumes about how beautiful and replayable it is.

    Awesome interview, I remember playing it first as a demo from a pc magazine which featured one of the scenario "dead and buried" it was wa too hard for me as a kid at first but I got it eventually with my parents in a big media store I was happy the game run on our pc so flawlessly. I still enjoy it until today! The soundtrack and overall design is in my opinion unsurpassed in the series.

    2:19 Heroes 3 był wymagającą grą w 1999 roku. 2-letni komputer nie dawał rady a i ten był nadal bardzo drogi w Polsce. Ludzie wtedy musieli grać w HOMM1 albo HOMM2.

    HOMM2 for me. Mostly 'cause I really have an allergy to HOMM3 unit graphics and animation.

      You have no idea how much you're losing. I was same, played H2 for years, in competitions and all, then when H3 came out I was shocked and skeptical about changes, be it graphical or technical. But if you put a little effort in it, it is SOOO much superior to H2, while keeping the spirit and all.

  • @wildwest1832
    @wildwest1832 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think its just new games fail to capture the same magic and originality the older ones had. Graphics are not everything, and realizing that you know HOMM 3 gameplay is nearly perfect
