Also, such videos as this also are not a limit of human capabilities. Offline tournaments often are won by players with even a higher skill.

Tout à fait bienvenue !

Happy to see you here.

The 33 days on archibald campaign... it's with price of loyalty? what version?

The "pyramid map" video on youtube is great.

Not exactly 33 I think. Watch the thread link

Wow that's clearly impressive and well beyond what I thought to be possible.
I'm not that interested in making the speedrun now that I know it have already be done. I'm just disapointed by the fact that there's no video ; plus the best players seems to all speak Russian (that doesn't help for getting details on their performances).
The only thing that could be new would be a RTA speedrun, but it doesn't feel very appropriate for this game.

Tout à fait, What do you mean by RTA? (en français. ^^)
I hope you did a video, whatever it's. And I would like to see it!

Hi everybody. Sir Albe here joining the lovely place for the passion of Heroes of Might and Magic!!!


When did you played Heroes of Might and Magic for the first time?
It must have been around 2002-2003 when I first discovered Heroes of Might and Magic in form of the third installment. We were visiting some of my parent's friends and their children played this mysterious game on the computer. I only saw it this one time and didn't even know its name or hardly anything about it. Even so I manged to explain how the game looked to a shopkeeper at a book and media store. He manged to gives me the Heroes of Might and Magic Platinum Edition with the first three games and their expansions. I am still amazed today how he found out what game I at the age of 7 or 8 years was talking about. I only remember I talked about sailing in a boat on the ocean (It was the classic Arrogance map that I had seen the other children playing ) Since then I have also played the newer games (IV, V, VI and latest VII), but they don't reach the same level of beauty to me as the three first games.
What HoMM you discovered first?
III and then I and II, since they were in the Platinum Edition as I said above
What HoMM community you frequently visit?
I often visit HC, but the other sites are for the Succession Wars Mod. We both have the official site, the modDB site, our Facebook page, our Twitter account, a page at VK and sometimes the DF2 forum goes crazy and a lot of things happen over there. I do though hope this site will give us a new platform to work on and by now it looks very promising, so great job on that
Have you ever made maps for HoMM?
I have made my own maps mostly for own fun (I made my country as a H3 map ), but I have also help create several maps for The Succession Wars Mod.
What others old games do you play?
I actually play all the HoMM games from time to time (and of course mods as HotA and TSWM). Other than that I play games like Age of Mythology, Starcraft II, Stronghold Crusader and Star Wars Battlefront II. I have also made my own small games in the past with a tool called Game Maker. It gave me some experience in graphics which I try to use in my work for TSWM.
What do you hope to see / to do on this forum?
I hope to have a good platform for working on TSWM with my fellow team members, but I also look forward to read interesting stuff about H2, since it is a game very close to my heart.
What languages do you speak?
I speak danish as my native language, but I am also experienced in the English language. I can understand a little German, but I prefer English

Welcome in the Forums of Enroth, Sir Albe :cheers:

HoMM2, of course. It was illegal version, huh.
What HoMM community you frequently visit?
Russian: DF2, Handbook. Sometimes i appears on HC, Celestial Heavens. I also tried to contact with Chinese community but it became too hard for me.
Have you ever made maps for HoMM?
When i was a child, i liked to create experimental maps... in HoMM4 editor but no one has saved until now.
What others old games do you play?
I'm TBS-fan. Disciples, AoW is always installed on my PC. Also i like Westwood games such as Red Alert 2 or Nox. There are also some DOS-related games which i played...
And there are some old-style modern TBS - Eador, Battle for Wesnoth - which are totally addictive.

Very cool to meet you here, dear e-lysander! I of course remember you and I'm glad that you are with us. Take a seat and feel yourself comfortable.

We are currently developing this forum further in terms of web design and filling the sections. This forum has become an official home for both Project Ironfist and H3SW modding projects so I hope you won't be disappointed. I also plan to develop the H1-H2-and-mods tournament branch and fan creativity board as well in future. Together we can do everything

Strangely enough, I don't remember any portraits. Could you re-send them on orzieorzie@gmail.com?

I must note that we have all our portraits stocked in this topic.
Also, the main development directions (for new H3SW team recruits or contributors who sympathize the project) are listed here.

Enjoy your stay on Forums of Enroth

Welcome to Forums of Enroth, djenic!

Thanks for your energy!! But I hope we will never need to moderate anybody; it's a peaceful place here.

Q: When did you play Heroes of Might and Magic for the first time?

A: When the H2 demo was released and I played Broken Alliance a million times, then got involved in the Astral Wizard website and my first internet community.


Q: What HoMM did you discover first?

A: HOMM2: The Succession Wars, starting with the excellent Broken Alliance demo.


Q: What HoMM community do you frequently visit?

A: Took a break for a while recently, but I have recently been back on Celestial Heavens playing a fair bit of H4, which is quite a good game once Equilibris made some welcome improvements. =)  But I have a special place in my heart for good old HOMM2.  Originally involved in the Astral Wizard community as The Western Wizard, and also at one stage was a script writer for the WOG Team esp. (especially) in 3.58f version.


Q: Have you ever made maps for HoMM?

A: Yes, and I have helped others make maps for H2 and H3 and WOG (and now even H4).


Q: What other old games do you play?

Not an old game, but I have had some fun with Lords of Xulima, a turn-based game in the old-school style.  However I have had heaps of fun recently with HOMM4, and recently found a really cool LOTR themed map released in February 2015 by Yurian Stonebow.  He has made some Tolkien maps for H3 too.

http://www.celestialheavens.com/search2.php??map_name=Tolkien&...&submit=Search

Yes, that 10/10 rating for the HOMM4 map is mine. =)  It is a really great "heroes in combat" LOTR-themed romp based on Christopher Tolkien's maps he released after JRR passed.

Anyway, here's a thread you might want to take part in, and perhaps download and rate the map:

http://www.celestialheavens.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=15193


Q: What do you hope to see / to do on this forum?

A: Contribute ideas, talk and discuss with the community, and have fun.


Q: What languages do you speak?

A: English only, though in my high school days I dabbled in French through distance education (correspondence) and even got an award for it one year. =)

Welcome to Forums of Enroth, Steven Aus!
Bienvenue !

When did you played Heroes of Might and Magic for the first time?


Back in about 1997(?) or whenever the Heroes of Might and Magic II demo was released. I got one of those discs/CDs of a bunch of demo-games that came with a magazine and it had the Heroes II demo. I must have played that "Broken Alliances" (or whatever it was called) map 3 dozen times before I was able to buy the game.


What HoMM you discovered first?


Heroes II



What HoMM community you frequently visit?

None too frequently but I do keep an eye on those Heroes of M&M Community boards where the HotA guys post.


Have you ever made maps for HoMM?


Yes but nothing worth releasing on the public.


What others old games do you play?


A LOT.

Heroes 3 w/ Horn of the Abyss and older version of HD mod.
Might and Magic V/World of Xeen (not to often on this one because of oldschool UI and lack of automap)
Might and Magic VII (I have them all through Gog but VII is the one I play most)
Baldur's Gate (all of them w/select mods & add-ons and patches through Gog)
Icewin Dale and in fact all the Infinity Engine games through Gog. Though I hate the (A)D&D system.
Various 'Roguelikes'
Nahlakh, Natuk and Pirates of the Western Sea by Tom Proudfoot (old school turn based, top down CRPGs)
Helherron (another old school TB & top down CRPG)
Wizardry VII and 8
Warlords III: Darklords Rising
Civilization II: Test of Time
various others....


What do you hope to see / to do on this forum?

Exchange ideas and learn of new things.


What languages do you speak?

English only, sadly.

Finally, someone knowing World of Xeen! You will definitely recognize our alternative smileys

Great to see you, SkeleTony. We hope that you will find some nice spots to check out here.

Hey guys just dropping in before answering the questions, you did kickass work with these mods and this forum, can't wait to play the next succession wars beta which is looking great, bravo

Hey Verriker! Nice to see such a dedicated HoMM fan here

Well, this is going to be long because I have many things to talk about.

When did you played Heroes of Might and Magic for the first time?

Everything started when one of my father's workmate brang me a birthday gift which was a Windows 95 catalog disk with many game demos. One of his workmate visited us and brang a gift for me which was a blue DCCD windows 95 game catalog disk. Heroes of Might and Magic 2 appeared there as a demo version. I have tried out the tutorial map which was awesome. After that the very first initial Broken Alliance map with my well-beloved faction, the Sorceress. (Feel the same love about Rampart in Homm3)

What HoMM you discovered first?

The Heroes of Might and Magic 2 - The Succession Wars when I was 7 years old. (1998)

What HoMM community you frequently visit?

There are 3 communities what I visit which is about the Homm 2 modification:

• Heroes3mod.webs.com
  

• DF2 (I'm not a member on this one cause of it's russian but I observe posts under google translator so I know what exactly is going on)
  

• This Forums of Enroth one from now on

Have you ever made maps for HoMM?

Yes, many times I tried to make only a few was really detailed and balanced. In my opinion, most of the maps should be balanced to all heroes and if a special operation kind of map I make then every single hero should have different advantages at the beginning of a game. Unfortunately neither of them were uploaded by me. I don't feel like I have much skill but I really try hard when I do. Some of the maps I made still exist in my directories. Anyone of you wish to take a look at them or play with them just ask me for them.

What others old games do you play?

There are so many of them.

Diablo 1, The Neverhood, MDK 1 & 2, Lords of the Realm II, Ecstatica II, Helicop Investigates of Words and Numbers, Time Commando, Scarab, Trophy Bass 2 & 4, Army Men Air Tactics, Sudden Attack (MMOFPS), Rayman 2 The Great Escape, Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc, Rayman Gold, Rayman M, Earth Empire II, Need for Speed III Hot Pursuit, Civilization III, Harry Potter first 3 episodes, Dino Crisis, Carmageddon 2000, Cosmi games like Frog Frenzy, Arabian Nights from Silmarils, Tux Racer, Jedi Knight series, Hellbender, Tarzan Activity Centre, Timon and Pumbaa's Jungle Games, The Gift from Cryo, Star Trek Deep Space 9 The Fallen, Space Arcade Collection games from eGames, The Adventures of Lomax, Dune 2000, Akimbo Kung-Fu Hero, Toonstruck, Waterslide Island, 3D Battle Chess, Humongous Entertainment games like Putt-Putt series, Deadly Tide, Kao the Kangaroo 1.

What do you hope to see / to do on this forum?

No kind of ambition I have in extra just the discussion about the well-beloved Homm 2 and it's mod built into Homm 3.

What languages do you speak?

Hungarian and English only. I'm still inspired to learn Japanese.

What else should we ask you?

Maybe about favourite food or animals. I love owls, especially the Uhu and white owls. My favourite food is Gyros.

Very nice Tibor. It is very interesting that so many discover HoMM through the HoMM II demo... It certainly did its job well
