Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is a masterpiece and is probably one of the best, if not the best, strategy games of all times.Thats game simply gets every single thing right.

Its such a shame that Ubisoft squandered the franchise to the ground, burned it and pissed over it.Well, Heros of Might and Magic 4 wasnt that great either, so it was probably the lack of talent to begin with.

But yeah, HMM 3 is an unique game.As far as I know, its an one of a kind that no one ever done anything like that before and after.A shame really.Such an amazing concept.

I recently discovered there is an Open-Source-Engine (vcmi) that allows to play HMM3 on Linux, if you have the game to provide the assets - and well my last weekend was gone. It's a long time since I played it, but it felt great instantly in the moment I started it up. I was fast back in the game and have so much fun. This is indeed a really great game, the age doesn't matter.

Yeah, completely agree with this.And I dont know, there is something appealing in the game art style.Dont know if its the nostalgia talking, but I just love it.The same works for Starcraft.SC2 artstyle is mediocre in my opinion, for SC is simply great, even to this day, with horrible resolution and all.
