Originally posted by Osweld Increasing the eye candy? No, I don't think so. HoMM2 looks a hell of alot better then any of the ones that came after it, even if it is in a low resolution. HoMM2 was the highpoint of the series, and I really doubt the fifth will be able to recover it.
Each to their own. I thought 3 and 4 did an okay job of prettying up the game (which includes upping the resolution) but fell flat on the gameplay. The poor AI just couldnt cope with all these new buildings and would drift aimlessly between them instead of persuing a long term strategy.
My favourite game in the series is HoMM 3. It had great graphics and cool gameplay. I didn't particularly care for the isometric view in 4 but othervise I thought that it looked great.
I hope that the developers of HoMM 5 (whomever they are) will pay more attention to developing a strong AI without cheats.

Originally posted by vovan Ah, the good ol' days. I played HoMM2 "multiplayer" with a friend of mine, too. We didn't have the Internet, so, we'd call each other on the phone and then start the same scenario on the same settings as different factions and then tell each other what we were doing. That was even fun. For some time...
I still like HoMM2 most... Any way, I'll keep an eye on this fifth installment.
Question: so, Ubisoft is the publisher? Who's the developer then?
that's just like what I did with the original Civ

Age of Wonders was nice (but just didn't catch me the same)
Lords of Magic was a disappointment
I am trying Shadow Magic (Age of Wonders 2 addon) now

I did the same thing with a good friend of mine. We'd conquer the world and then go at each other. Quite fun.
I'd settle for finding a copy of Heroes Millennium edition since my new computer is now fast enough to run Heroes 3, rather than a Heroes 5.
Now if they made it so that it could run off a Pentium 2.

Shadow Magic is what Age of Wonders should been like in the first place to be honest... They're asking the full price for this new title, while it's just been updated (Okay I have to admit, a lot of things have been improved, such as the 2 gates/wall etc, but nevertheless, it should be a simple expansion pack instead of a standalone product)
