Stretch Reviews - Heroes of Might and Magic III



3 down, 2 to go.

Now this one I have proud of.  I'm really starting to use effects and typography is becoming a big part of the whole series now.  If the Bioshock review was the first step, this video is the second.

Excellent job. However, Conflux was introduced in the first expansion, Armageddon's Blade.

Hey hey! I've been looking into your stuff around Heroes 6, whether it's been the music, introduction of the races, and town screens who I felt was a disappointment, considering it's epic authentic view in Heroes V.

Bout this review. I loved Heroes 3, made dozens of maps through the only functional map editor in my opinion, so that probably made me play this for hours after another when I first was introduced to the series. Quite accidentally, after all I didn't know what to expect.

Also the last expansion package, the Armageddon was so immense, bringing so many more hours of gameplay to it.

And considering the music, I liked the battle themes, even if most of them involved drums, and some of the town themes I liked as well.
Fortress town view was extraordinary, and ha ha! I introduced the series to my dad. And ever since he loved it.

Nevertheless, even without any fancy gameplay videos, I like your way of expressing your thoughts, contextual and variation.
Loved the battle sequence, and the repetitive cut scene addition.

I'll eagerly await your review on Heroes 6, after all, I've only played the demo so far. Hopefully you'll pick up a video card for it.

Thank you very much for the fantastic review! You look good on screen, good writing and acting, the whole video is very well made with all the nice little details. Excellent coverage of the game and the magical atmosphere it creates. The only nitpick - you didn't mention custom maps.

Also, you probably know, but, just in case - there is a mod HoMM 3.5 WOG (In the Wake of Gods), and there is Era II.
