Heroes of Might and Magic® 3: Complete

Теперь с русским языком — вот уж чего не ожидал. Перевод может показаться непривычным, но он вполне годный. В редакторе наконец-то можно вновь писать кириллицей, а не заморачиваться с транслитом.

Many older games are subject to accusations of being 'objectively obsolete'. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is one older game I can confidently say is straight up addictive. It's easy to learn and fun to play. Herores of Might and Magic 3 is unique because it combines 'questing' mechanics with turn-based strategy. Armies are all led by 'generals' who you will direct around the map looking for treasure, creatures, and hopefully an unclaimed city or two. Battles can automated or directed turn-by-turn at your leisure - every section of your army will be represented by one moving unit. The numbers of your army act like HP and cumulative damage increases. The battles themselves are simple. The real meat of the game is in directing your heroes to treasure, battles, rival generals, and improving and protecting your cities. You will level up your heroes as well, help them learn spells and carefully choose units that work well with the improvements of the general. You have nine 'factions' to pick from which all have their own music and themes, with each feeling very different from the other. If you like playing the 'Evil' side, there's three distinct options. I look forward to seeing different factions on the map, and I always want to collect 'city types' under my banner. Unless you're interested in gaming history for its own sake, the first two titles are just curiosities. Very playable curiosities, mind you. If you're familiar with strategy games, you won't be frustrated with Heroes 1 and 2 at all, and I highly recommend them for people who are casually interested in retro gaming. If you're just looking for a fun strategy game with unique mechanics, get the third.

Когда впервые попробовал Героев 3 мне было 10 лет. Сейчас, спустя 17 лет это до сих пор одна из моих любимых игр. Это игра - легенда, даже спустя многие годы приятно вернуться к ней в компании друзей. По поводу самой игры. Она достаточно хорошо сбалансирована. Для тех, кто любит идеальный баланс, есть список турнирных правил, который многое предусматривает. Игра весьма разнообразна - даже через сотни сыгранных партий бывают ситуации, в которых приходится пораскинуть мозгами, а не действовать по шаблону. Ну и вообще - игра просто волшебная. Ну а в остальном ... да кто не слышал про Героев?

Ну вот теперь можно и пятерку поставить. Огромное спасибо за русский язык. Не стареющая классика теперь и на великом и могучем.

I've first played this game on my friends PC soon after release. Now its almost 20 years after and I'm still playing it with my fiancée every few weeks. We are spending like whole evenings playing od random maps, listening to rock music from the internet radio, drinking beer and eating pizza. This game haven't aged one bit.
