Be sure to install WoG (Wake of God) as well. They've made some really cool improvements

Atleast I don't think Ubisoft/Nival has a banktrupcy filing that forces them to release the game pre-mature like 3DO had :p

Even though it's a completely new development team instead of the HOMM 1 - 3 developers, at least it's someone new not the HOMM IV team. The development team is Nival (Blitzkrieg, Silent Storm, Etherlords).

I'm enjoying Silent Storm so far, though the mercs in Jagged Alliance 2 had more personality, and the inventory management / weapons progression was better in JA2.

Uhh, did they even bother to change the graphics? It looks WAAAAY too much like Etherlords.

Gameplay is all that matters, graphics is fun to start with but doesn't matter in the long run. Same with sound, specially because I always turn it off to listen to mp3's.

I only have the first game HoMM 3, none of the expansions.

oh, the expansions had some cool features like set items and a new town. But WoG has lots of tweaks you so can balance the game and vastly improve the bad skills. They also put in a commander unit that is a very strong unit fighting on the battlefield. Also new units and lvl 8 creatures has been added. And ofcourse creature stack experience. Tons of other mods as well.

I've never heard of Wake of God, only Armegeddon's Blade and Shadow of Death. I guess I haven't been following the industry as well as I should. :( Was WoG released as a free expansion or do you have pay for it, I don't ever recall seeing it on store shelves.

WoG

It requires that you have both expansions to work though.

A bit confusing site, but when you install the WoG you get a very nice htm overview of the extra features. If you would like to I can mail it. Unfortunetaly I can't host it on my homepage as my internet provider has cut my off at home.

It looks good, but I hope it does not have a braindead AI like Homm4. This time around, I will wait until it is reviewed before I purchase.

I can't wait. I was a huge fan of Kings Bounty/HOMM1/2/3, and while I enjoyed a lot of new ideas and features of HOMM4, the game just didn't play right, so it wound up not being very fun at all. I have a lot of hope for this game.
