Alright, a bit mixed feelings, but overall alright. Working on Charas Doom some more before I start working on college homework.

Last class, I told him I was "busy," and he left me alone after that.

I think if I do the same tomorrow, he'll get the signal.

Hey Drak. Long time no speak. You working on any projects lately? I always love your projects.

I'm working with a friend on making a game like Portal/Warioware/Paper Mario/Final Fantasy 10 which probably sounds
absolutely insane. I have BIG plans for this one. I'm doing all the programming and he's spriting everything. Gonna make
my own music, sound effects, menu, CBS, CMS... basically it's 100% made by us except for the 2k3 engine. :D

Sup Zuhane. Yeah, I posted new classes on Asiyla just the other night.  I'm working on my XP project.  Your project sounds pretty sweet.

Good for you.  Some guys are pretty hard-headed.  It must suck pretty hard being a chick sometimes because of all the guys hitting on you 24/7 and about 90% of them being ignorant perverts.

I'm listining to Three Days Grace Run and Reading Bleach Manga on another site, so i'm pretty much entertained. When I get home i'm thinking about firing up spore. Although I would love to play a good Rp right about now.

Watching Canadian shows. Playing Heroes of might and magic V; the tribes of the east. Getting ready for some marathons and trying to get back into the spriting business.

Is HoMM V any good? I've heard some unpleasant things.

I'm working on my latest RM project. Doubt it'll get anywhere, but it's keeping me busy.

Is HoMM V any good? I've heard some unpleasant things.

It's like the sequel HoMM III never had.

HoMM IV is forever the black sheep of hereos games.
The 5th takes back the old concepts of creature levels and factions.

But the latest expansions offers the "alternative uppgrade" meaning that every unit have two different units to be upgraded into. And if you upgrade it to one kind you can reupgrade it fro half the cost to the other.
The differences between the alternative upgrades is just a matter of taste.  Like Sylvan(rampart)'s hunters. They can either be Master Hunters with double shot and a chance to stun opponents. Or Arcane Hunters with No range penalty and a chance to knock back. The stats are also a bit different but otherwise pretty much the same. A matter of taste.

The game have 4 good factions and 4 evil factions. Fortress and Stronghold were neutral to begin with but where placed into one group each after complains from fans.
There are 7 creature levels like the good old days instead of 5 like in HoMM IV.

The heroes have turns in battle where they can use spells now. A compromise between the old way and HoMM IV. The creatures could invoke the hero's spells during their turns in earlier games while the hero was a unit that could attack, move and die in HoMM IV.
Now, the hero's turn come, he can either use his Attack stat to attack a unit(like a spell, but non-magical damage) or open up that spellbook and send some spells at them. The hero cannot die in battle since it's standing outside the battlefield. And defeat is like defeat in HoMMIII, all units are dead.

Other than that, I think it's more or less an upgraded and updated version of HoMMIII.

Yeah? That's good. I loved HoMM III but dodged out on HoMM IV when all the bad reivews to the changes started pouring in.

The optional upgrades sound really interesting. One of the things I love about the HoMM series was that almost every unit has some special ability so it's a bit more than just a numbers game.

Back on the HoMM topic. I'm getting them mixed up. I think I played 4. It was a 3D sprite one, not a FPS/RPG one.
Anyway, I loved it!

Big difference between "Heroes of might and magic" and "might and magic".
Title: Re: I'm bored How are you?
Post by: Darkfox on April 10, 2009, 12:22:32 AM
Might and Magic was a dungeon crawler like game. Heroes of Might and Magic is a turn based strategy game I believe.

It's all downhill after Heroes of Might and Magic 2.

I've been, oddly enough, playing Might and Magic 6 most of the week.  Damn close to finishing, too.  Just have to do Castle Alamos, the Supreme Temple of Baa, the Derelict Spaceship, the Command Center and the Hive and I've finished the game.

And that has to do with what in the topic?


We been playing a lot of Heroes V in school. And what can I say it's supreme. I didn't like it at first without the expansion sets but with them installed it's gold.

There's no way you actually believe this.
HOMM3 is the best in the series. It's the best in a lot of series it isn't even a part of.

I have to agree. Heroes 2 is the best in the series.

The best(funniest) part about Heroes V is that you can install the latest(Tribes of the east) and get all the contents from the earlier games(except the campaigns).
TotE includes the dwarves, all the previous multiplayer maps. And then all the new stuff. And you don't need a CD to play it once it's installed, so you can just let your buddies borrow it and install. Download hamachi and then play it LAN... but online-LAN.
You only need a CD of your own if you want to play online on their servers and get ranking and such.
