Heroes of Might and Magic® 4: Complete

I grew up playing HOMM 2 & 3, and Heroes 4 just blew me away. There are some major changes in factions as well as the worldview, and the fact that the creatures have a small area of movement. I had only played the original so I'm pumped to dig into the expansions and check out these campaigns. The music in this game is also just lovely. Jon Van Caneghem!!!! Make another PC game!!!!!

I like this game but not as much as Heroes 3. This game installs and runs well on Linux. I am using Ubuntu 18.04.1 with wine staging installed ( I have not tested it with the default wine on Ubuntu). I used Playonlinux to install the game. it runs fine but I needed to lower the resolution and uncheck fullscreen after you do this you can raise the resolution back up but do not check full screen character will be off screem play in window mode.

This was my introduction to Heroes. Played this before HOMM III, and they are both great. This on the other hand has the best soundtrack from almost any game ever

It has some nice ideas but most of the time execusion is bad. Campaign is uterlly unbalanced, so are units and factions. Especially expansions are really rushed. Really disapointed that they didnt had more time to spend on polishing the game.

HOMM IV often gets shunned by heroes community for being too different from its unversally beloved predecessor. But if taken on its own merits, it's an amazing, charming game with gorgeous music and unique take on heroes leveling.
