I was wondering if you (GOG) have any plans to bring these games to linux. I don't mind if it is in the near future or not if any person of the GOG team at least say they have plans but don't know when will the linux version released I will buy the bundle instantly. I can wait but I want a linux version.

PS: I have bought all of them in the past and I still have them, so one of the main reasons to purchase them again would be a future linux version. I can think about it like a pre-purchase of a linux version.

PD: You can vote here to bring them to linux -> http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/heroes_of_might_and_magic_iv_for_linux

The first two games of the series could be brought to Linux through the miracle that is DOSBox. Unfortunately as the other games were made for Windows only and source code is not available, it's highly unlikely that there will ever be a supported linux version released.

I think your best bet is to use Wine to run them.

Heroes 3 had a linux version made by Loky and there's a sorceforge project for the Heroes 2 engine (http://sourceforge.net/projects/fheroes2/) so I think it won't be so difficult. Maybe the difficuties would come for the rights of the games and things like that.

I know that I could try wine or dosbox, but I want support from GOG if something just don't work properly, so I want a linux version of them. As I said I already own them, so it wouldn't be any reason of purchasing them again. I know that could be some difficulties and I can wait for it, but I (and for sure many people) want that to be done.

I really like how GOG is doing their stuff and I know they are not as big as steam and things require time and money, so I for sure support them. Only want my humble request to be done some day. ;)

Sadly Loki closed down before bringing up all the expansions.
They were ahead of their time ;) 1 & 2 work great with DOSBox 0.74, while 3, 4, 5 & 5TotE work nearly flawlessly with WINE 1.6.2. 5HoE is the only one I didn’t manage to get working on Debian yet.
I still need to try extensively the free re-implementations for 2 & 3. Can’t blame you for this. If it gets done, it will be through DOSBox and WINE wrappers, guaranteed. So you could as well save yourself some time and doing it without waiting for GOG.com ;)
You’ll still be able to switch to the GOG.com when it gets eventually done.

Well I'm buying it, but still hope GOG consider to do this. I would be really glad if they do so, don't mind if a have to wait (I know they have plenty of stuff to do like Gallaxy).

Agreed. I just set up HOMM3 under Mint 17.1 after installing Wine and PlayOnLinux.

Mint 17.1 offers only the latest stable 1.6.2 Wine version. HOMM3 did not run under this version.

This is why it is best to install PlayOnLinux to use as the Wine graphical front end to install the game. It allows any game to run under any version of Wine.

Telling PlayOnLinux to run HOMM3 under the earlier stable Wine version 1.4.1 made HOMM3 run perfectly.

Since PlayOnLinux creates a separate virtual machine for each game with its own settings, future changes to Wine installed on the system should never create problems with games already running correctly.

I have been so successful with this approach that most of my games are now running under Linux, and I may soon have little reason to use Windows. Not proven yet, but looking good so far.
