I am very happy indeed!
Heroes of might and magic 2 is my fav but this looks like it could improve on three.!
It has to be the most time consumingly addictive game in the world however though so i think for my personal saftey i will restrict my self to buying this only in the holiday!

YES! I can't wait, I've spent countless hours playing HoMM3.

One of my friends and I usually play hot-seat once in a while, bloody cool game. Especially when you get to whack his greatest army

I don't know much about this game, but I know it's D&D based, but Sorcerers doesn't pay much attention to this game I suppose. Can I get some more info?

It seems like they changed the gameplay a bit now, but in Heroes 2 and 3 it was pretty much the same. You are king/ruler/armyleader, and you have one or more heroes with additional armies under your control. The armies consist of many different creatures, which you hire in your castles (many different castles which contain different races). You can only hire a limited number of creatures each week.

For pruchasing creatures, buildings in castle etc. you need gold and various resources. Most of the gold comes from the castles, but you also find it in mines. The resources comes from mines, which you controll (you can steal mines from eachother).

Other than that you just controll your heroes around, fighting independent and enemy castles, villages, creatures and heroes. The whole game is turn based, both every day movement, construction of buildings (only one in a castle each turn) and the combat itself.

Bleh, Heroes is just a Might and Magic rip-off, now that's a game series... Too bad heroes actually sells better then the real series, shows how little taste people have. (Now who wouldn't like the masochistical fun of getting ripped to shreds by twenty dragons?)
