It still had the stack of doom problem but the solution added in Civ5 (one unit per hex and hexes were also new) I found to be just annoying as it forced a dance to get units placed. They just added isometric view and even more micro-management (IMHO).īut that all changed with Civ4. I didn't really play Civ2 and Civ3 as much. I can literally recall waking up at noon, starting up Civ1 and then looking out and it was dark. The other two games of this genre I played a ton were Civ1 and Civ4. I loved the tactical combat and that resource management didn't get out of hand. I played HoMM2 and (even moreso) 3 a ton. I yearn for the days of turn-based strategy games. To this day I play roughly 4-5 games: Dota 2, Civilization 5, Baldur's Gate 1&2 EE and Heroes 3. Heroes 5 is the closest to Heroes 3 as mechanics and gameplay, and I enjoyed it a lot. Honorable mentions besides Heroes of Might and Magic 3 - Heroes of Might and Magic 4 (with all expansions) and Heroes of Might and Magic 5 (all expansions - Tribes of the east). I play heroes 3 complete edition with HD Mod to this day, a pretty awesome game, and still has an excellent, thriving community. This was a fan-made extension of the game that fixed some stuff ( like Eagle Eye being useful, fishing for artifacts in mana well's, having commanders ala heroes 4, having a bank from which you can loan money, etc.). Then in university, I discovered Wake of Gods. Then 1999, I got ahold of Heroes 3, then the expansions - Armageddon's Blade, Shadow of Death - so much fun and unforgettable memories.
I remember the first time I encountered the game in some obscure Italian magazine that had a disc and on the disc a demo of HoMM 2.
