Autorun should start. If not, go to 'My Computer'. Start up the "cd", install the game and have fun! Unless you encounter the same music error...

o, wait, just skip the intro

Personally, I blame Ubisoft for the utter *edited word* that describes HoMM 4. They did buy out the title, look on the CD if you aren't sure...

The descriptions for spells and things were crap, gave no info and were often just gags!!! soetimes you could even see where the code fell through and where your hero's name was supposed to be there was %t instead... hehe, then again, I bought my copy out of a Fry's bargain bin for $4. However, 1, 2, and 3 were absolutely great.

<whew> all this typing has got me winded.

I don't think IV is bad. It is quite nice actually. Just like the older versions, only somewhat more advanced and elaborate. I don't know whether the even newer versions are nice. How many parts are there, actually?

:help:

After I mount the iso, I have a error message that says " C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. "

I am using window xp.

Thx!

By the way I love this site.

You're sure you mounted the correct iso?

With that, I mean: you mounted the iso in the zip, and not the zip itself?

That error's covered in the Troubleshooting Archive, possibly as a sticky - it certainly used to be a sticky in the Troubleshooting section. It's not game-specific, incidentally.

Currently, as of today and not counting expansions, there are four HoMM games, respectively labeled HoMM1, HoMM2, HoMM3, and HoMM 4. (In my own opinion, 2 and 3 were the very best, though it's difficult to pick either of the two as the best...)

Hm I get a CD MUSIC ERROR.
How far do you get?

Woot, i get far enough k: , in the beginning i also got an music error, but i got a message the musicquality or something had been altered, and then the game just runs fine :w00t:

However, sometimes it seems as if the game needs some time loading because it freezes up for a few seconds.

My dreams have come treu since i can create my own maps now, however, i expected the mapeditor to be more easy to use. Creating landscapes requires a lot of time. Also, impasseble mountains are hard to make, my first mountain had many loopholes and the enemy attacked me sooner then I expected :w00t:

Still, I'm very gratefull for this gift! :monkey_dance:

THe only one I played was HOMM3 Complete. It was a huge game. I probably only played a small fraction of it. It was cool though. Like an updated version of King's Bounty. But I just didn't get into it that much since I was busy with college. I loved the original M&M series. One of those great classic RPG series. And I thought World of Xeen (M&M4 + M&M5) was excellent. I have the entire M&M Collection on CD now. I tried VI but it just feels outdated now, although it seems to be a lot of people's favorites. I haven't tried the later ones yet.

HOMM2 is also good. it is better balanced than the first series. only the warlock is still quite strong if you don't have dragon slayer spell. but i liked sorceress a lot. dwarfes rule (in homm2 at least) & phoenix give you first strike.

Oh and offocurse necromancer with good necromancy can get you legions of skeletons fast. terror of the undead.

HOMM1 is also good. maybe the spells should be bought instread of automacally added into the book. on the other hand HOMM2 has mana system and i didn't use many high level spell just because of it. they are too "expencive" = usually you run out of many before you can use it. so lightning is by far most efficient spell in HOMM2. while in HOMM1 you can use magic for quite long time and evn low level spells prove worthy because of that sytsem.
