Every player who loves games, there will be a few long-term saved games on the computer hard disk, whether it is moving or changing computers, even if the hard disk is broken and the system is reinstalled, it will be the first time to download the games that have been loved for many years. For the editor, "Heroes of Might and Magic 3" is such a game worth cherishing, although it is rarely opened now, but as long as you see it in the hard drive, you will feel very sure. So what is the magic of it, and it is still being "renewed" by the folk gods more than 20 years after it was released?
February 28, 1999 was a day to be remembered for a lifetime for fans of the Heroes series, because on this day the pinnacle of the Heroes series, Heroes 3, was released. Although the graphics of this generation are incomparable with the current games, they can only be described as exquisite compared to their predecessors, and compared with the games of the same era, they are also absolutely first-class standards, so that many players with low computer configurations can only sigh at it, worried that their old machines will not be able to bring such a sophisticated masterpiece.
"Erathia's Recovery" is the original version of "Heroes of Might and Magic 3", and many players started their contact with Heroes of Might and Magic from this work. There are eight races in the game (castles, towers, ramparts, fortresses, strongholds, hells, cemeteries, dungeons), 118 classes (each race has 7 levels of troops, each class can also be upgraded, 7*8*2=112, plus 6 neutral troops), 28 skills and more than 60 kinds of magic, and more than 120 kinds of treasures.
With such a wealth of game elements, players have plenty of room to explore, and the developers have made it easy for novice players to pick up with the clever design, but it has a very reasonable difficulty configuration. You must know that the strategy games of the 90s have always been known for their high difficulty, but "Erathia Recovery" allows players to easily enjoy the game without getting bored, and it is difficult for such a game not to become a classic.
In addition to the original game, Heroes of Might and Magic 3 also has two expansions, the "Blade of Doom" released on September 30, 1999, added a race element city to the original, but due to its power being too powerful, the game lost balance, and later versions canceled the race.
In addition, the game also adds 6 chapters of new campaigns, new heroes, new maps and random map editors, among which the new heroes are most famous for Gelu, who can upgrade the archers of the human race or the elven archers of the elves to "marksmen".
The last expansion pack of the three generations of orthodoxy is also the most popular version among players, it is the "Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Shadow of Death" released on March 31, 2000, it can be said that "Shadow of Death" is the childhood memories of many old players of the game Heroes Invincible, collecting treasures around the map and combining them, and it is also from this work that the gameplay began. At that time, I don't know how many people stayed up all night just to synthesize a set of favorite treasures, and since then, combining treasures has become the essence of the Heroes Invincible series.
Until now, many revisions of the Internet gods are also based on the creation of "Shadow of Death", the more well-known mods are "Follow the Miracle", "Puppet Master", "Battle of the Top of the God", "Legend of the Red Dragon", etc., and other unknown ones are countless, as long as you want to play, you can search for new mods every once in a while, which also reflects the vigorous vitality of "Heroes of Might and Magic 3".
For the editor, I have been deeply in love with "Heroes of Might and Magic 3" for so many years, not because of its almost perfect plot setting, nor because of its rich game elements and super high game balance, but the most unforgettable thing for me is the era when I was carefree and could play games with my friends after school every day. Perhaps only playing familiar old games in my spare time is the most affordable pastime for me, a middle-aged man who is not confused.
