DESCRIPTION

A fondly remembered 3DO series returns to fight another day in this Ubisoft debut. In Heroes of Might and Magic V, players are challenged to conquer a land of fantasy, using both wits and warfare. Elements of empire building, such as exploration and economy, play their roles in this game, but its greatest conflicts are ultimately resolved on the battlefield, through sophisticated turn-based combat similar that of a traditional console tactical RPG, but fought between large battalions that may each contain numerous different units.

The most immediately noticeable improvement over earlier games in the series come through Heroes of Might and Magic V's 3D graphics, but other enhancements have been made as well. The interface has been rebuilt to be more intuitive and accessible, while still offering sophisticated control. In online games, players can make use of ghost characters to spy and steal resources as their opponents take their turns. While influenced by the series' mythology, the game's setting and storyline were created anew, for this (and possible future) Might and Magic releases.

Heroes of Might and Magic V was developed for Ubisoft by European game-maker Nival Interactive, the creator of successful tactical combat computer games such as Blitzkrieg, Etherlords, and Silent Storm. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“For some reason the Heroes of Might and Magic series is difficult to me, mainly because the AI somehow becomes gods within 10 minutes while I'm still trying to collect enough resources. Kinda bs too when you run into someone at the beginning of the game and they are already 500 soldiers strong. And this is coming from a former online champ in AOE and member of the best clan ever in the history of that game.”

“Steam has had some serious temporal issues lately.”

“@Torinir I used to play a lot of the HOMM series back in the day. I wish they had kept a lot of the various races and such they had with HOMM3 and its expansion; seems they cut down on the options with IV and V.”
