I liked the elves because druids were cheap and entangle let you level heroes easily.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

There better be a HOTT blonde elf babe, and not just that stuffy bunch of lifeless theocrats.  :mad:

Otherwise, it looks fantastic.  What appears to be an improved graphical/gameplay augmentation of the original, and not a jarring overhaul that takes away the original charm.

Yeah but they were easy enough to pick up as one of the neutral races.

I also always edited my hero to have dominate.

Wow, can't believe it has almost been a year already. Just saw on steam this is now available for pre-order / coming out at the end of next month.

I'll play it, will be interesting to see if it's good. I liked both 1 / 2 but I do agree with the consensus that 1 was the stronger gamer. Interestingly I think both came far closer to MoM than Elemental which the CEO of Stardock personally started solely out of his desire to remake the perfect MoM game for the modern era, and we all know how that turned out. (Well, I guess I don't, I never played the free expansion he gave out to people dumb enough to buy his game early on but I doubt anything other than a complete ground up rewrite of the game could have made it any good.)

Everything has been very quiet around this title. I will wait for consumer feedback and reviews before I move in on this one.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I preordered. I like living on the edge.

quill18 has a bunch of gameplay videos for this (campaign and random world).

I'm a sucker for games with random maps, and since those fell out of fashion around 10 years ago not buying a reasonably major game that has them isn't an option.

Didn't Eador, Warlock, HoMM5 etc. all have random maps?

How do you know I didn't buy those?
