Narga_Rocks Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yeah, I know it's 5 or so years old. I just got it a few months ago and disappeared playing it on heroic. Beat it plus the expansions on heroic. Anyone else play this fun thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Anouleth does, and he told me that I need to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nflchamp Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yes? Don't have the expansions though. Cause I'm lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excellen Browning Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 HoMM 4 is the only HoMM game. What is this HoMM 5 you're speaking of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Heroes 4 is objectively the worst Heroes. That means you're objectively the worst person, Llen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anouleth Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) I am a fan. I think it has issues in comparison to other Heroes games: -Anemic single player with not many scenarios to pick from. -Lame campaign with too many cutscenes and too linear (if you're wondering, 4 had six campaigns that could be done in any order and 3 had even more campaigns iirc). Plus a forced tutorial! I'm also pretty sure that the Stronghold campaign is broken. -Many spelling mistakes. That being said, I think the graphics, music, and combat system are all amazing, as are the hero-building choices. Going back to other Heroes games where you can't view turn order or how much damage you'll deal is really difficult!

That's part of why Heroes 3 was the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anouleth Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) oh I should ask what your favourite town is! I do like how the town themes were a bit more flavourful and fleshed out than in previous games, especially for Dungeon. uh yeah if you beat the entire game on heroic you're probably a lot better at it then I am since I mainly just fucked around in the campaigns.

Try it on heroic. Good times. But definitely play with at least a map of each scenario. The walkthroughs at celestial heavens are decent enough and I partly followed them sometimes, but I had more fun when I just looked at the map at the top of the walkthrough page and decided what to do on my own. Not using a map can cost precious days of travel or whatever, so it can be pretty helpful if you don't know the maps from playing on lower difficulties. I played on a lower difficulty until the second part of Raelag's scenario, got pissed about failing the secondary objective and then restarted the whole thing on heroic. So everything after Raelag's second map I did on heroic first playthrough. I like Academy. The mini-artifacts are just too much fun. Without enough resources to play with them, though, I'd have to say my favourite town is either the Orcs or Sylvan. Not that playing with Orcs against dark magic isn't a major pain or anything, it's not that I think they are the best they are just so much fun to use.
