Of which you should play the maps by Timothy Duncan first. Goldheart & Sander's Folly are incredible maps.

All syllogisms have three parts.
Therefore this is not a syllogism. -
Duncan's maps are simply too hard for me
and for some reason, I get impatient with maps that have a lot of text and just do click through- thereby missing hints to how to play
The best maps are scrowe's... Hail to the King is one of my favorite maps.
Cattleman/fiery phenix also made an amazing map in "Pen and the Sword" though I still have yet to beat it (despite playing it 3 times... I just have no idea how to beat it)
"Time of Testing" is also pretty neat. You get massive armies... If you have trouble escaping the chasing heroes, don't worry- it is possible to win- it took me about 20-30 tries to get it right, but it IS possible!

The Heroes of Might & Magic III collection (with the expansions) is surely one of the best gaming buys available today.
For sheer gameplay value (17 campaigns; 125 scenarios; random map generator; editors; plus all the user scenarios available), it is a must buy.
If you like turn-based fantasy games that will give you limitless gameplay for years to come, then this is a game to own.
The game has strategy, personality, great music, unique-looking cities, and chess-like battles that you control. . .
And best of all?
The collection has low computer system requirements and can be bought at a very low price. . .

Timothy Duncan, YAY. He made Last Hope and all of It's sequels for HOMMII, probably one of the best map makers. I was reading some ones top ten maps list, Goldheart was number 2 and Sander's Folly was number 1. I really need to get HOMMIII... maybe my friend will let me have his so I only have to buy the expansion(s)... Is the expansion SOD worth getting or should I only get AB? But if I can't get my friend's copy I will just get the HOMMIII Complete, so I won't have to worry about that...
What you talking bout the collection at very low price? when I checked amazon it was the price of a new game... though if I find it somewhere cheaper (I only use amazon to check prices, best buy or gamestop for buying) I'd definatly buy it and not ste... I mean "Borrow" my friend.
Edit: Wow it has really good graphics, I have forgotten since the last time I played it with my friend, though the creatures don't seem to have as much personality as in HOMMII.Last edited by Gamecube64; June 23, 2004, 11:59.I changed my signatureComment

Amazon has only ONE new copy left. Other sites such as Chips & Bits have NO copies left.
I fear if people don't grab the complete series now, it simply won't be available anywhere soon (especially since 3DO closed its doors).

Over the years two games that have never left my hard drive are Heroes of Might & Magic III collection and Civ2 MGE.
They have become true game classics. . .
There is just something unique about both games, which few newer games seem to be able to capture. . .
Have fun!Last edited by Leonidas; June 23, 2004, 14:25.Comment

Here are some sites that have some great information as well as strategy guides for the HoM&MIII games:

Honstly, you need AB to play the best scenarios.Is the expansion SOD worth getting or should I only get AB?
and if you want to make scenarios, get SOD...
and if you get SOD, you can play my scenarios
if we have enough apolyton HOMM players, I could make an apolyton forum adventure

Ubisoft is reissuing HOMM III Complete, I believe... at least in Europe (Scandinavia, France) so far.
-
HOMM III and Civ II are two of the best games ever made... I can only wish that I had purchased HOMM II back in 1994 when I first saw it, instead of waiting until dec 2002 to puchase HOMMIII! It was well worth it. I played all the heroes chronices games and beat them all, then purchased the game!

So I assume Ubisoft is going to publish HOMMV, is NWC still developing it, or did they go down with 3DO?I changed my signatureComment

NWC went down with 3DO.. I fear for Heroes V... but then again 3DO's screenshots of HV looked trashy anyway, so how much worse can Ubisoft do... I mean really?

So far I think the Heroes III series of games is still the best of the bunch in almost all categories.
And the AI is definitely no slouch. It has whupped my butt on many occasions. . .
Hard to believe how 3DO, et al could ruin such a beloved game series. . .Comment

My daughter and I have been playing HOMM3, no expansions. but she isn't that good of a player and when we played a game with the AI controlling the third player, he came along and kicked her but on the All For One map.
I was wondering if there's any good two player maps out there we can play on. there was on;ly one with vanilla HOMM3.Any man can be a Father, but it takes someone special to be a BEAST
I was just about to point out that Horsie is simply making excuses in advance for why he will suck at Civ III...

I remember THUNK!Timothy Duncan, YAY. He made Last Hope and all of It's sequels for HOMMII,
Last Hope was not hard, but THUNK! was the best scenario I have yet to play.
There is only one other map that has given me an equivalent amount of trouble, and that is the Jester in HOMM 1.
How many times did the Jester laugh at me...
Another scenario that I found hard is Pyramid. You start with one city against an opponent with 1, and opponent with 2, and opponent with 4, and a secluded Dragon wizard with 8 :eek cities, if I remember correctly. You could lose just at the end even if playing everything else correctly.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Over here it's just come out, or perhaps its a new release ...
Australia is generally a little backward but not that much ... ?
and
Both released on the 30th of last month so its hardly coincidental.
