FYI y'all should check out Age of Wonders 4/Planetfall too.

It's not the same, but it's adjacent. Most of the game is moving your heroes around the map to explore, clear ruins, fight in hell and such, and the point if the civ-like part of the game is essentially to supply said heroes with units for the turn-based clashes.

Does it have better ai than homm?

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

You'd hope so, and reviews suggest it's better but takes a while for each turn. And to be fair, HoMM3 was decades ago, back then they'd compensate for bad AI by giving them considerably more resources per turn. That was just the standard at the time for any turn taking game though.

I got this a day or so ago I've only played a few hours of the campaign. It feels pretty difficult like homm style. Gonna put some hours in this weekend. It seems promising so far.
