For discussing tactical and strategy games. What's the difference between tactics and strategy anyways?

Are you ******** or just want to act like a tough oldfag? Why would I "remember" this game when it's more alive than anyone else? Every day there are streams or some kind of tournaments. Mods are made (HoTa, WoG, VCMI). I've been in the Heroes 3 community for a while now. And I understand more about it than you ever will.
I liked this reply. And I think it's probably the only type of reply that will "save" you from Millennial faggotry. Although some Millennials should probably stop being *******, but anyway... I agree: it doesn't matter if you were there in 1999, if you love the game.

Make sure you introduce it to your kids. Shame if you didn't. :heart:

Mediocre or bad games can still have parts that are good.

Personally, I've never played the Might & Magic series, except Dark Messiah, which may not count. As a kid I loved HoMM 2 & 3. However, I've been burned on EA too many times, so unless they release map-making as part of EA, I won't buy it 'til 1.0. Creating intricate maps (and downloading other people's maps) was a big part of why I enjoyed it. All in all, I do hope this game gets a full release.

Positive review after positive review and I'm left wondering: do these people not have eyes? The art looks so bad, mobile slop and covered in gay unicorn cum. How can you enjoy the game mechanics when you're constantly distracted by ****** zoomer zingers in every paragraph?

It looks like a ****** phone game. My first reaction to this was to look for the button that opens up the premium currency store. Now compare this to either the sheer beauty of homm 3 or the charming simplicity of homm V and it doesn't hold a candle to either. It was even more jarring given that I was expecting the art to be at least decent, given that iratus had very good assets (basically its only quality).

I fully agree with @Eyestabber regarding it looking like mobile. It is just too eerie.
It is on sale right now, but I wouldn't buy it even for a tenner.

Funnily enough, if you go to their job section: https://unfrozen.studio/jobs/#jobs-list
You see "If you like making beautiful and challenging games, come join us"
Lol.

They gave me tremendous Pole vibes (Poles==crap), and guess what: https://unfrozen.studio/about/
"a team of 50 people and has representatives in Limassol, Cyprus; Tarragona, Spain; Belgrade, Serbia; Tashkent, Uzbekistan; Poznań and Prudnik, Poland and Iasi, Romania."

Total Pole Death. Put ACK in PolACK.

Unfrozen is a Russian company that moved to cyprus in 2021 to avoid sanctions related to the war. It's probably a pozzed transnational company by now.
