Hello, just passing by to shamelessly promote !homm@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Also, yeah, usual business when it comes to Ubisoft. Fun story: their first HoMM game, H5 from 2006, had its release date postponed because the fans protested and begged to have it released later. It was horribly buggy, according to the beta players, and the fans wanted the studio to have enough time to fix it.

Heroes 5 was actually a really solid entry, so I appreciate you 2006 fans!

They also buried the M&M sci-fi storyline there.

Well thanks for that. I had no idea it existed and I love HOMM.
