Important message for all H3SW followers

Hello everyone.

With the recent geopolitical events which are indeed going to change the world forever, I must make some kind of a statement.

I suppose that it will be appropriate to speak for all Russian H3SW Team members with whom I am currently in touch.

We are completely and absolutely devastated by the decisions of our government and currently are still trying to understand what is going on and what will happen next. We never wanted anything like this, and have always wished for the better future of everyone. I personally donated for the victims of Ukrainian crisis in 2014, and will do that again.

With the impending chaos of anti-Russian sanctions by the Western world, there is a possibility that we may lose contact, at least until we find a workaround. The future of H3SW is currently under discussion. I have been contacted by Sir Albe with a set of questions and I suppose it will be alright to post my answers to the general public. See H3SW General Discussion for details.

When I was invited by GodRage to start a community here, I intended to create a fairy-tale place where people could dive into the fantasy world of Might and Magic, feeling themselves united by love of atmosphere and vibe of these games. I am deeply sorry for ruining this by this message.

You're not ruining it, Orzie, thank you for your words and your perspective, it means a lot in current situation. Thank you all for building this community. Heroes was always the game most important to Russian and Polish people so thank you very much for making this fairy tale place. Hope we will all meet here again when situation will got more stable - all healthy and ready to discuss and play in our favourite game together

Thanks a lot. The post in the Discussion thread is on. I hope it clarifies something for people who are still around and waiting for news.

Thanks for making this thread.

My heart goes out to all Russian people who not only have to live under a shitty government but now also have to face global backlash.

All the best in these dark times, I still hope this will somehow end sooner than expected.

I want to say that political (and army) decisions from governments differ from civilian wishes/points of view.


Orzie, your post do not ruin our community, and even tell us that our community can be important to permit people to "evade" reality to the world of Enroth.


I know that Chinese people use VPN to bypass their China restrictions.

We are going to buy vpn too. No idea how we are going to pay for it though because of the sanctions on most Russian banks.

Anyhow, seems that I’m making some sort of a comeback. Can’t do music effectively right now.

Thank you Orzie. Hope the project can survive all this.

Had to finally come out from lurking. I hope all will end soon. I was always amazed by the ingenuity behind Succession Wars.
