PLayed the lst 1 ands was greatly depressed. no multiplay even 12 months after buying it. think that has changed now but the game was only half done when it came out.

<3 HOMM2. sooo good. 4 was alright. didn't play any of the others. looking forward to this one though ^^

Post 4

Post 5

i liked (and own) all of them but I really thought 4 could have been better. Still, I will buy 5 I guess.

#IV Sucked like really badly... I, II, & III Rocked! (II being my personal favourite)
But #V i have played the demo and its alot more like the Playstaion2 version (which is a remake of the original game "kings bounty") than #IV so it should be good

Post 7

I lost so many hours of my life on 2&3 :) Most time consuming game ever

Post 8

I loved #3, was excellent.
Looking forward tot his one as well.

Post 9

Man it looks kickass.

Might and Magic IX or is it XI cant recall - getting like Final Fantasy now - looks wicked too, like what Wheel of Time should've been.

from what I a have heard about it from the batera testers I know they say the demo that was realised was crap and had a heap of bugs (but said if the revert back too the prevous versions and inprove the few problems it had it will rock I have every test version that the batera tester tried and can say it will rock from the demo but thats just my belief i loved the prevous games.)\

Post 17

finished playing the demo - lots of fun well worth the download
there are some major bugs though it crashed a few times and all army on both sides disapeared while battling a couple of times. just make sure autosave is switched on and its all good

Post 18

The full version has been released too.
I noticed a few torrents floating around the other night.

Post 19

in an unrelated incident, i installed it last night, haven't played it yet tho.

Post 20

I also found this to be installed on my computer....somehow. Game is great - those who liked 3 should feel right at home with this one.

Post 21

does it still include your hero in the actual combat like 4 did? man that sucked as it didnt matter how powerful your army, the enemy force would ALWAYS sack the hero.

your hero still attacks, but cannot be retaliated/attacked

so pretty cool game

Post 23

It is much better than 4.
Quite addictive too which is another thing I liked about 3.
And SHINY!!

Post 31

have you tried disabling one of your vid cards?

Post 32

all working ok after reinstall of everything

Post 33

Mine would randomly turn off my copmuter in the middle of playing. Stopped doing it when I updated my vid card drivers, but it still does it if I leave the game idle for an hour or so.

Post 34

Holy mother of crap can anyone beat the inferno campaign mission 3 on normal difficulty?! it's impossible :(

Post 35

Good news

Post 36

im still stuck on that map, damn it that bloody elf just keeps comin back with more and more army :mad: sigh.....

Post 37

Yep I've given up. I've read walkthroughs on how to do it and I follow them to the letter and I still can't do it. I'm hoping they'll fix it in a patch or I quit ><

Post 39

me was stuck also.... but then i found a trainer helped me pass the level, then onto the next

Post 40

cheating is bad :P

patch 1.2 makes it alot easier, ahvent finished it yet but so far its heaps easier - dont take the towns till later makes the rest of the map easier

Post 41

lol i hav beaten all tha maps and gotten in the high scores all black dragons and i hav finished all campaigns on hero 2... :D i love it!

Post 42

man, what the hell is with the no easy option in the demo?
I cant even pass the first mission! Are you ment to rescue the girl and then not cap the town to prevent the dinosour guy from coming until you have done the rest of the map?
Does the full version have an easy setting?
