game #1

Obviously the best game of all times.

Hint 1: This is the third installment of a once very popular strategy series, which involved building up armies through your cities that join your heroes and fight the enemies heroes and their armies or try to take over enemy cities.

#1 is Heroes of MIght and Magic 3
(A very awesome game in a very awesome series.  I put HoMM2 as my #5 game, but I can't fault anyone who prefers HoMM3.)

I agree, this is an awesome game.

This game is a great combination of resource building and tactical fights. It is so much fun to explore the map, find artifacts for your heroes, secure resources and build new buildings in your towns that help you to get more troops.

The strangest thing is that the thing I love most is setting up a random generated map and play it against computer-enemies. You can set your challenge regarding your abilities and mood (sometimes I feel like an casual game to dominate a map). This game also features multiplayer or single player campaigns.

The game had a HD-remake a few years ago. The original game runs with Wine (a Windows-emulator) on Linux (the way I play). A project named VCMI tries to make a new engine for the game, that allows more features and mods. So a lot of ways even today exist to play the game.
