Because that doesn't include the expansions.

drat i guess you would have to settle for the remastered incredibly good original game, or the unremastered gog version that does have everything

Remastered or not, gameplay is more important then ACH-DEE GRAPHIXS.

Keep grinding,
I hope you level up! :)
My favorite HoMM was 2, but perhaps that is just because it was the one I first played.

I did play 3, but thought it was too crowded. I also didn't like the realistic graphics.

I think 2 had each faction pared down to essentials. 3 introduced gameplay innovations that, while interesting, also didn't really add to the basic strategy of the game.

Homm3 is my favorite game of all time and its sad that Ubisoft has the rights to it, in this gamers humble opinion. Mayhaps 7 will be good by some fluke

As mentioned earlier, 5 wasn't bad. I mean it is certainly better than 4. It's all about being cautiously optimistic for 7.

My main hope is that they keep the key ideas from 2 & 3 and some of the class system stuff from 4 & 5.

One thing I wonder about is would they benefit from having like a leadership system like in King's Bounty, in order to limit Death Stacks and make multiple heroes more viable?

That could be cool but it would be super difficult to do it correctly, also how would you level up low leadership heros when all the mobs on the map are legions of dragons and poo poo?

The battlefield needs to go back to hexes, what the gently caress in this squares poo poo?

Yeah there would need to be some major balancing to make that poo poo work. But as it is, it feels like the current dynamic of 1 megahero, doesn't really feel that good. Might be able to solve it with the whole tutor style skills which give x% of XP to lower level heroes.

Most excited about new necropolis faction. Although that faction has had really weird balancing issues through the years with necromancy.

Kind of bad in 2, because what am I going to do with all these skeletons.

Same in 3

4 fixed it kind of but maybe in an overpowered way with the ability to get higher level things from higher necro skill

5 had the balance of a necro energy budget, which I thought was pretty cool.

No idea on 6.

Heroes 6 was ok. It wasn't amazing but I did have fun based entirely on nostalgia for HOMM3

didn't like it enough to get any of the DLC

I might get HOMM3 HD on iPad, so I can play it on planes and remember my childhood

Also lol if you ever got the necromancer combination artifact, you would get powerliches after every combat. In the necromancer campaign my army consisted of 7 stacks of 1000+ Powerliches.
