Heroes of Might and Magic is a series of turn based strategy games designed by New World Computing and published by 3DO.
It is freaking sweet and I am tired of stomping the shit out of the computer. Does anyone want to play some heroes over the internet?
I created a Hamachi network titled "PAHOMM" with a password of "wang". I'd be up for playing any heroes game, the ones I own are 1, 2 (plus price of loyalty), 3 (with shadow of death and armageddons blade), 4 (vanilla) and 5 (vanilla). I have no idea if Hamachi will work for the older games or not, but it is probably our best bet.

If you haven't played them, you should.
i might be interested in beating you down in HoMM3
3 is generally considered the best, with 4 being the worst, though of course the first two will feel dated next to 3. 5 is also very good, and generally refered to as 'almost as good as 3.'
I'd probably go for 5, if you can find it at a good price.
3 is still definitely by far the best.
Though 1 still holds some good memories for me. Getting the demo with M&M6, my friends and I played that tiny stage who knows how many times.

Should I get on that?

That probably makes me a terrible person.
Regardless, I've never played the HoMM games in multiplayer but I've heard the games can last a very, very long time so I'm not quite sure if I'm up for it.
check this out from last time I played a dude here on PA
yes, after a drawn out battle, I won by catching up to his main with this guy
I love even more, how that game just oozes charisma. Who could make playing the undead so fun? In fact the only unispiring town type is the overlord or underlord or what ever. The ones that get Harpies. It just isn't as cool as all the other ones.
goddamn it why do i have hydras in that army.
should have phoenix instead
edit: they probably weren't on the map
On the gametap front: I'd recommend playing 2, then three. 4 has a lot of neat features (heroes that fight, caravans, sea border guards) but I got it at release and it was VERY incomplete. I have no idea how it is now.
Anyway, any time I try to run it, I get a blue screen of death and my computer restarts. Fun.
*edit* even with the patch selecting CD music crashes the game
I dont think I have ever finished a campaign in any of the games, always just set it on a really huge maps with 4 ais and skirmished till I won. I attempted some of the campaigns and they were awesome though.
The day I found the original heroes of M&M in best buy for the game boy color, oh man that was fucking bought! I still have it.
I remember their definition of hard AI was it was only going to fight you if it had a 95% chance to kill you, so you knew if it started to come after you, you were in trouble, haha. I think 2 is the only game I bought the strategy guide for, and it was pretty amazing with the amount of stats it had.
also HoMM 3 was the best and I wish I still had it.
Anyways, starting heroes 3... now

So I lost 3 back in the day, and ended up getting a free copy recently then.
Hmm. Well, still as fun as it was back then.
