Phoebe 158 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Any fans of HOMM game series? If so, which installment is your favorite? I'm currently playing HOMM3 with my boyfriend for 2 reasons: the nostalgia and it's one of the rare games that doesn't make my laptop overheat. I've played every release except 1st & 2nd. 4th is most frowned upon among the fans and I only played it for a brief time, but I decided I'm gonna give it another chance. 5th, 6th and 7th are all alright. The graphics are really nice (not that I'm a gaming expert or anything). Which factions are your favorite? Do you have any favorite heroes or creatures? Any special tactics you use? Let's discuss!

Mister Gaga 22,656 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 OMG i can't believe it!! FINALLY! i've been addicted to this game since...idk, 2009? I can't quit it. I've played the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th, but i only bought the last two. The fifth one (with both expansions) it's obviously the best, and the sixth one it's really underrated. At first it was kinda messy, but with the expansion and patches, it's really enjoyable imo. Favorite faction? Necro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it weren't for my brother who's always been into games since early age I probably wouldn't even know about it. I find the 6th one really hard. I remember whenever I encountered AI it was always "deadly" to me no matter which tactics I used and how much army I had/how high my stats were. My brother had the same problem and he's much more of a gamer than I am. Maybe it was before all the patches and expansions? It felt really unbalanced. My brothers and I always joked whoever played "tears" is a "goody two shoes". Necro is an absolute overkill. "Oh I just lost some zombies, oh that's okay, I'll get a pack of skeleton archers back" My least favorite faction is Stronghold, but I do like the centaurs in the 5th and 6th.

Popo 3,768 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I played 3,5,6 & 7. Recently i started playing 3 again after watching a playthrough on youtube. I never realised how much of the game i didn't understand 6 was pretty good imo, despite all the flak it received. My favourite was probably the conversion of towns and the ease of recruiting your army. 7 seems fine, was glad to see tower return to the game but would honestly prefer sanctuary.

I'm same as you. I used to play it when I was younger, but just now in the past few years I've discovered there's so much more to the game. It's nice finding little gems and learning new things. What's your favorite faction in 3? I like all of them (except stronghold as mentioned above). I always try to make sure my hero starts with logistics (or at least pathfinding) or diplomacy and I'm set. If not then I'm praying the next witch hut I see will have either of those or the experience I gather will offer me the choice of one. Yeah, the conversion feature was pretty neat. What I liked in 6th is that it was an actual challenge to build up your city and upgrade the town. Oh and I liked the fact that you only have 3 resources.

Tower/Dungeon were probably my favourite because of the naga/medusa. I was so happy when medusa made a return in 7. i tried the diplomacy strat the other day on expert and things did not end well for me . i'm still divided on the upcoming H7 expansion.. Not sure if i'm gonna get it. Inferno would've been better than fortress Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
