Heroes of Might and Magic® 3: Complete

The HOMM series drew me in with the 2nd game, and had me hooked from the very first demo map I played from my PC Gamer demo CD. When 3 came out, I wasn't sure I liked the more serious graphics and change of art style, but soon, I was playing it non-stop. I've owned at least four copies of this game, but finally when GOG released the DRM/CD-free version, I was onboard as quickly as I could type in my credit card number. I've played this game for 15 years now, on and off, and when I need a good game to put on a laptop and take with me for an airplane ride or a business trip, this is the game I go to. Now if only they would release a version for the Mac! My kids now play this game, they introduce it to their friends, play hotseat around the computer at home with them, and spread the joy. This is one of the few games my wife plays with me (she's not a gamer)! Forget the fancy 3D graphics of Heroes V or VI, save your CPU and GPU and just go for this one. It's got everything you need.

Compare with STEAM and GOG version = STEAM version= 1. Only one good thing is "HD Edition" 2. But do not have expansion pack 3. Do not have Cloud save 4. The worst is do not have RANDOM MAP GENERATOR = GOG version (This version) = 1. This is not "HD Edition" but classic (No problem, I very love classic) 2. Have all expansion pack 3. Have Cloud save 4. **The BEST is RANDOM MAP GENERATOR** I decide to buy "GOG version (This version)" because of RANDOM MAP GENERATOR not for expansion pack, not for cloud save, not price (I got this game for $ 2.49 (from $ 9.99)) "Random Map Generator" is the best. "Random Map Generator" rule the world.

This is one of my favorite games. The newer versions have better graphics, but I feel like they aren’t up to snuff. They game is by no means balanced, but there are a lot of mods out there that can balance things out. I usually play vanilla and still think it’s amazing.

I have been playing this game for at least 10 years and it is one of those games I just keep going back to. The main reason being is there is just so much content in the complete collection. Not to mention spin off campaigns and if you go to http://www.celestialheavens.com/ you will see the sheer vastness of user made content. Every game of heroes you play is different and if you have the chance to play this multilayer it is one of the best RTS for this. Many times have me and my friends have played a hot seat and then carried on the game later that night over the internet because we just want to keep playing one more turn. If you have never played this game before don't even think about buying it, just do it! I would pay $60 for this game easily so at $9.99 you are getting an absolute bargain!

... For the game that held my attention for 23 years and I still don't feel bored with it. Install these two mods: - HD Mod - Horn of the Abyss If you never played the game before, spend 1-2 months playing it modless, then install these two mods and appreciate how they increase the game's value hundred-fold. Thank me later.
