Oh, and Dragonlord...

If you like HoM&M, you might like the Age of Wonders series.

I've got Age of Wonders....

Lords of Magic too....

I like them, but I could never quite get into them as much. Part of my love of HoM&M is probably because I've been playing since the original....(you tend to be preferential when you grow up with something)

Yeah, you're right about turn-based. I just termed it as a SRPG because of the battle element and everyone knows what a SRPG is.

IGN classifies it as a Strategy Turn-based. Definitely along the lines of D&D RPG's though...it's a hit point/attack/defense wizard which is what an RPG is (for us old schoolers---many of the young ones won't know better).

I have Lords of Magic as well, never liked that game though. It just lacked polish.

And yeah, I played HoM&M a long long time ago as well. HoM&M IV was the one I liked the best. I preferred the Infernal and Dungeon castles IIRC. Early game Gogs/Magogs and Beholders were very very nice.

 Yep, I agree.  The old games actually got fairly valuable--$80+ when 3DO went under.  

Ubisoft definitely left a lot to be desired on V, but oh well....

I liked the fact that the Heores were so powerful in IV and could travel on their own, etc.

I always like the Wizards because of the Titans and Genies....but damn it took resources to get them.
