Game Reviews

If the phrase’Might và Magic’ seems familiar, it’s probably because it has been on the boxes of at least eight PC games to lớn date. Might và Magic I, II, III, Vand Wwere first-person hack-and-slash role-playing games, each mix in the same Dungeons & Dragons-style fantasy world. We didn’t think a lot of them -Might và Magic VI scored 59 per cent in – but it didn’t stop Ubi Soft coming up with Might and Magic VII, which is due for release soon.

Meanwhile, the other two games, Heroes Of Might & Magic I and II, are set in exactly the same fantasy universe, but the key here is strategy rather than role-playing. Combat is between armies, rather than individuals, và the trò chơi centres on exploring, recruiting armies, building improvements to lớn your towns and scouring the bản đồ for treasure, which belongs to lớn the first player to lớn snatch it.

Town buildings boost your armies or increase your gold or precious mineral resources; most can be upgraded at least once -often more. Treasure can be gold, crystals, gems, mercury, ore, sulphur or wood, or extra spells, skills và artefacts with which you can equip your heroes.

Shrine like A Star

There are dozens of shrines, temples & wandering characters on the map, many of which can add one of the game’s 64 spells khổng lồ your hero’s book, or train him instantly in one of the 28 secondary skills available, which come in basic, advanced và expert guises. Ballistics, for example, enables your heroes khổng lồ attack towns with catapults. Others boost spell power, earn additional gold and even recruit dead enemies from the battlefield to lớn serve as skeletons or zombies.

Routine movement & exploration in Heroes 3 is carried out on the two-dimensional overhead adventure map with an icon bar lớn the right. From here, you can access any anh hùng or town under your control. When the fighting starts, the game switches khổng lồ the combat screen, an abstract, hex-divided battlefield with more than just a passing resemblance to SSI’s masterpiece, Fantasy General.

Popping up in between are the town and anh hùng screens, where you actually make the decisions, swap troops and artefacts from one anh hùng to another, trade various items on the free market khổng lồ balance resource production, and địa chỉ cửa hàng town buildings. The screens are well-planned and neatly designed. A single click – never more than two – is all that’s usually required to lớn move from one screen khổng lồ any other.

Your objective in Heroes III is lớn build bigger and better armies so you can dominate the map, take over things like sawmills and gold mines, và wipe out the opposition. Disappointingly, there’s very little diplomacy or negotiation in this trò chơi – it’s kill or be killed.

We Can Be Heroes

Single-player mode gives you the choice of one of 42 predefined scenarios or one of three initial campaigns.If the bundled scenarios become a yawn, there’s a map editor, which enables you to lớn create maps and new scenarios for up khổng lồ eight players. You can multi-play over a network, by modem, over the Internet, hot-seat or linked by a null modem serial cable. Expect to bởi a lot of waiting, though. It’s a turn-based game, after all.

You start Heroes III with a town, a hero and a small army of creatures under your command. There are eight different town types, including castle, fortress, rampart, dungeon, inferno, tower, stronghold & necropolis, each producing seven different troop types from the 128 types available. Start with a rampart, for example, and you can recruit centaurs, dwarves, wood elves, dendroids, unicorns & green dragons. Dungeons are limited to troglodytes, beholders, harpies, medusas, minotaurs, manticores and red dragons.

Heroes come in 16 flavours & range from bog-standard fantasy fare, like knights and wizards, lớn more exotic characters, such as beastmasters & necromancers. Each town supports only two hero types: ramparts, for example, attract druids & rangers, while castles have knights & clerics. Not that you can’t recruit other anh hùng types – it’s just that they’re less likely to appear.

The most irritating feature is that you have khổng lồ choose one of the 100-odd pre-defined heroes in the single-player scenarios, rather than being able to lớn ‘roll your own’; in campaign mode, you get no choice at all. Whatever happened to lớn role-playing?

Let Battle Commence

If you move your hero on lớn an enemy, you immediately activate the battle screen. Your troops -seven units at most – are mix out on one side, witn the enemy on the other, & in the middle are randomly placed obstacles to lớn liven things up. The fastest troop types move first, và they can either fire ranged weapons or move close up for hand-to-hand combat. Unfortunately, that just about sums up the range of strategies on offer.

With seven a side & roughly equal forces, it’s virtually impossible to find a winning strategy. If you have more ranged fire units, lượt thích archers, you can stand off and whittle down the enemy, but that way you thua kém more of your own ranged fire units to lớn counter-fire, & these units tend to lớn be harder to lớn replace and recruit. A hero with good combat spells can make a small difference but, in the end, the battles rely on luck more than skill. As always, whatever gods there are in the Might và Magic world are on the side of the big battalions.

Finding the right strategy on the adventure maps isn’t easy, either. You can’t build new towns or fortresses, & once you’ve cleaned up the freebies you can only spread outwards.

There’s nothing groundbreaking about Heroes III. Okay, it features 16-bit colour at 800×600 resolution, but although there’s plenty of detail on the adventure bản đồ – and too much animation -it still looks somewhat dated. Mind you, it does have two levels the surface & the underworld which adds to the variety of the gameplay.

The big changes from Heroes 2 are lớn the trò chơi system itself, where there are bigger maps, more unit types, more spells and improved combat. Existing Heroes fans will be well chuffed. For many strategy gamers, it will seem inflexible và a bit too shallow, especially when compared lớn other games on the market.

And while it’s often compelling enough to force us into ‘one more turn’ mode, I just can’t for the life of me work out why.

Living In A Fantasy World

Three small steps for you, one giant leap towards success in the game

When you start a game, you usually find yourself with a hero, a town & some troops. The first thing to vì chưng is explore the area và grab whatever resources và buildings are within easy reach. Your hero, a knight, has 80 pikemen & 4I archers, so he’s well-equipped to take care of himself. Lưu ý the four ships, which can be used for transport.

When your nhân vật has finished moving, go straight to lớn the town screen. Each building in the town has a function, and is highlighted when you move the mouse over It You can hire a limited number of extra troops In the town, and another hero or two lớn lead them. The more the merrier, because each can explore and Hag’ mines and buildings.

Level One knight Christian starts with a balllsta & a healing tent But he’s weak In spells, so you need to send him off to earn experience & improve his performance Most treasure items can be turned into experience, & entering some buildings gives you extra skills or bonus experience It’s a good idea to lớn let only the main man enter buildings và interact with neutral creatures, as he then gains the points. Some heroes should be hired just for exploring at first You can always develop them later if needed.
