You know what?
Adding a trailer/gameplay video via a youtube window in each game's page would be really awesome!
Watchya think?

I noticed they have that for a few games, but I wish there were more.

Agreed, as long as it doesn't take up much space. Perhaps it could be in the same area as the screenshots, perhaps as the third page?

Would you buy it over Arcanum?

I wouldn't, but that's because I prefer Arcanum's style. Both solid games though. You can't go wrong either way.

What about HoM&M 3 vs Age?
I remember HoM&M 5 as being awesome - but i also heard Fantasy Wars is quite a solid alternative.
What do you think?
P.S.: Sorry for the OT..

HoMM 3 is more or less universally praised. I myself prefer 2 over 3, but that's just my weird taste. Generally you can't go wrong with HoMM 3.

I'm glad you asked! Off-Topics are fine, it's how conversations progress so I don't have a problem with it.

For HOMM 3 vs Age I'd choose HOMM 3, but that's because of nostalgia. It's a great game and if you like the series you'll definitely like this, but if you want to try something new you should choose Age. I can't remember much of the HOMMs after 3 though, so I don't know how 5 compares to 3. I'm also pretty sure I haven't played Fantasy Wars so I can't say anything about that unfortunately, except that it doesn't look bad from what I've seen.

Have you played Heroes 4? Age of Wonders is more like that battle-wise (for example, your hero is an active participant in battles).
Regarding town development, AoW is not as complex as the HoMM series; it's more straightforward, yet is a bit more like Civilization.

5 and 3 are pretty much the same game, except 5 has 3D environments and a square grid as opposed to hexes.

Also, for HoMM vs. AoW Age of Wonders is more complex, so if you like that sort of thing....

ah, good to know! I don't recall the HOMMs being drastically different from each other.
UHM!
You're right, HoMM3 looks a lot like the 5 - wich is not necessarly a bad thing, if i've not lost my memories.
I'm inclined to AoW, though- of course , HoMM3 will go into the wishlist ASAP! >:3
Thanks, everyone!
