魔法门之英雄无敌3：完整版

This version of the game is the true version, and people should only play this - The HD version releassed later is not compatible with the mods, that have been made. and has reinvigorated this old masterpiece. Also, the HD version does not have the expansions, which are crucial to the game, as you will miss out on the Conflux faction. Also has to modding community made two new playable factions, which is played by the majority of the Heroes III community. This game has had change of life improvements, nerfs and buffs to make skills more balanced, but the core game is still intact, which is a testament to the sheer brilliance of this game. It offers life long mastery with its deceivingly easy combat system, that have great depths. Positioning is key to achieve victory, both in the combat system, but also on the map, where cleraing objectives, gathering ressources and expand the fastest. while building your town, is crucial. The heroes, that controls the army, are where the game gets its character, as different classes levels up in different skills. Skills are rolled, so in theory every class can learn some skills - however, barbarian classes of the stronghold faction can't roll water magic, but have a higher chance of rolling water and earth magic skills, which are two great schools of magic. But what they get in skill, they have a harder time levelling up in knowlegde, which is on of the four key stats - knowlegde is the stat that determines how much mana a hero has. So even if a barbarian can have access to great schools of magic, they struggle by having lower mana, and in early levels a barbarian must choose when to cast. As a long term fan, and have play this game for over 20 years, it is a big recommendation, although getting into PVP as a nwebie is hard, and not for the faint of heart. Luckily, there is sprawling a youtube community of english user, that are speaking english, where strategies can be watched, and therefore it has never been easier to join the PV

So glad I can reexperience the procrastination of my youth!

The title says it all. Absolute must buy.

The best in its class and one of the best games of all times. Bought it when it was initially released and re-buying it now in its complete edition. Thank you GOG for bringing us this diamond in such a nice price!

HOMM 3, was a great sequel to the second one, which showed how grand this kind of game could be, the third is more or less known as the HOMM on steroids, pretty much improving on what that was so great about the one before, without many changes, which isn't a bad thing either. It is showed how good this game was after the 4th one came out with so many changes, many thought were too many, while others loved it still, the fifth instalment showed just how great this game was, going back to it's time when the series was the best, and simply improving upon that. But simply improving GFX isn't always enough though, expand upon it, no need for a HOMM 4 change, just more of the good. :) HOMM 2 and 3, are among my all-time greatest games.
