| Quote: |
The Griffin Empire is getting ready for a celebration — the marriage of the young Emperor Nicolai to his sweetheart Isabel. The festivities are interrupted, however, by the emergence of Demons! Like his father twenty years before, Nicolai leads his army to war. Isabel, however, is banished to the safety of the Summer Palace.
But Isabel cannot sit still when she could be helping.
The war appears to be going badly, so she convinces her escorts, Beatrice and Godric, to seek help.
Godric leaves to solicit aid from the powerful mages of the Shining Cities. Beatrice volunteers to seek help from the Elven armies of Irollan. Isabel takes to horseback, scouring the countryside to raise a militia.
But other powers are also at work--older and darker ones that have been plotting for ages…

Oh yes. I hope the final version will have a difficulty setting that allows me to finish the campaign, would be a shame to get the collectors edition and then fail horribly...

For those that have already tried the demo: does the game play more like HOMM3, or HOMM4?

HOMM3.
I enjoyed both HOMM3 and HOMM4 but HOMM4 got a bit lame since you always ended up with an army of 5 heroes and two tier 4 creatures. Or the old favourite 7 heroes

Yeah was a couple of bugs/bummers in the demo. For example in the haven scenario if you did a melee attack with Isabel it was Godric who attacked.

If you unhide the building tree you can see what you need to build.

I like the demo because it reminds me alot of HOMM2 which was the best in the series in my view

First of all, when i fisrt heard that the devellopers are Nival i said- "oh no, another etherlords" Then there was the first alpha version- it was horrible and almost unplayable. I didn't had a chance to feel the game.., then there was the beta, the things wern't different- but now in this demo... i must say this is really a good sequel to the heroes universe. It's really close to heroes III (my favorite). The 3d graphics are good, and even with my old radeon 9000pro i can get max details. I'm really looking forward. But still i think there are some bugs to work.. (like the missing corpses on the battlefield when you pass them with another unit, or the different charge animation of hevan female hero, and i think that the heroes themselfs are quite a weak even at level 24)

I think they didn't want to make heroes overpowered, like in HOMM4 (which I really enjoyed, BTW). Great demo, although campaign mission was a little bit too hardcore for me (don't laugh, please).

....I've waited for this game since Fabrice himself came to Celestialheavens in 2003 to ask us of our opinions and now it's finally DONE! YES!!!
I won the Haven campaign scenario on Heroic (took me 5-6 tries though). I tell you, you gotta play perfectly. No screwups whatsoever. (Probably helps that I'm a hardcore fan of the series though :/ )
The factions are:
- Haven
- Sylvan
- Academy
- Inferno
- Necropolis
- Dungeon
Rainyday: Zoom out and pan* the view so you can see far. It hacks on my Radeon 9700 Pro @351/321 if I do that and I can't use AA at all so I find it very strange that it works perfect on your system
* = Not sure about this word.

Heroic, damn I get my ass nailed! I haven't really played much M&M so maybe thats why, but you must be real good.

from my point of view, this is far the best game in years. i enjoyed homm2 and 3, but the 4 was awfull. the gameplay in the demo is highly addictive. and the graphic is nice, besides some problems -sometimes- by placing the cursor in the right spot without the need of zooming in, and some minor bugs. great game. a must play for every gamer.
