O, да.
I am eager gamer.
Some time stupid and even...suicide.
ha ha ha
Do You know that i passed the whole M&M4 without equipped myself and reach Lord Xeen this way. Of course final battle was impossible. So, stupid Bulgarian, started the game 7 times, till one day, desperated, i asked the gentle Kmonster for help. He was so kind to receive my save file and simply told me - yoga, you are not equipped, not weapon, not armor, you son of the beach.
ha ha ha
Without last 5 words. He is very polite man.
Can You imagine?
Without equipment i reach the Lord.
Master, this fact shows how easy game is Clouds.
SS, if You played Clouds You will agree with me that there are countless passwords and riddles in MM3 till we have 4-5 passwords is MM4:
-rosebud, laboratory, therewolf-
Hy, вот
What turns everything around but does not move?

I reach 11 level for 5 members and 12 for 1 man.
Moreover in MM4 we have many deadly weapons. But not here.
I do not use WT here.
Maestro Capo said that the wise gamer uses WT only in extraordinary case.

Just to name a relatively easy to find teleporter on the roof, in starting city, which teleports you right into a horde of big dragons. 2 seconds, no actually 1.5 seconds - your 4 party members are toast, game over.
A bit too extreme boundaries without any hints as to where it will become moderately more difficult. That makes experience gathering and leveling up often quite a tactical, hard challenge for new players to the game(s).
Guess it's no different in previous games in the series.

Master, 4 party members?
In fact the areas around starting town are easy to colonize.
No matter it is Vertigo or F.Head.
But Lava area is not too far from Vertigo and Lava Golems and Acid Dragon are not easy at all.
Then Ice area is not very difficult but Desert area with Sand worms is terrible.
Anyway in MM4 at some stage i feel i may beat the game. No same feeling in MM3. Conrariwise, i feel like an animal in the case.
No, i dont weeping. Just speak about MM3.
Am i wrong to think the authors of M&M series are creators of Heroes of Might and Magic?
Wunderbar.

Good/Bad deal?
Caro Capo, mi scusi,
i do not ask for help Howto beat boss in Las Vegas or Texas but for ordinary deal only.
I hope this is not cheating.
But if You think this is cheating, the Q is invalid.
Si?


PS: 2 more Cyclops out.

4 party members in Might & Magic 6, I meant That's the maximum you can have there, maybe in earlier games of the series you can have more - I didn't play them yet so I don't know.

Heroes of Might & Magic series is the round-based Fantasy Strategy relative of the Might & Magic RPG series. They've been both made by the same company if I remember correctly, and continually shared the same world and story, more or less. For example, Might & Magic 6 plays approximately at the same story time, simultaneously, as Heroes of Might & Magic II - Succession Wars expansion, and Heroes of Might & Magic III continued from Might & Magic 6, respectively.
So they're all part of the same Fantasy world and story, with more or less the same monsters in either series.

OK.
To be fair, i do not like at all Heroes. Poor games.
It is MHO. No base for dispute. No.
Dear Kmonster,
i read a discussion between You and some guest for MM3, who weeps he lost 15 Millions gold. Really? I duno abour such danger. Soon i will go to nearest bank to deposit money.
ha ha ha
Wrong dig and voilaaaa...no money. Poor man.
But in Shangri-la he can obtain 2 millions.
Kidding of course.
...
Mates, i entered in big trouble.

Don't panic. Unnatural aging can be reversed later in the game just like in MM4 and MM5 and as long as your characters are younger than 75 years the aging effects are minimal.
So before you have 70 year old characters there's absolutely no need to ask for help.


About deal or no deal: I always made this deal but you don't have to, it's just an opportunity to trade gems for something else.

Bow before KMONSTER!
Respect!!
Thats why German is the motor of Europe.
Because the Germans are very good fighters, workers and Wizards.
Before 100 years he told me:
yoga, do saves of Yr game asap. And i follow this advice strictly.
My save file restores the game before aging phantoms. Sehr gut.

Details: 2 of my men were aged from 20 to 40 years, others - to 25 years.
I think that is better to loose 8 hours gaming instead of tremble every second if someone will die.
Yes, one member died. So i will restore the game before bad moment.
Long live of Kmonster!

Actually, I didn't play M&M4. At least, no longer than couple of hours.

I played World of Xeen at whole. And I cannot say that it have little of riddles.

Yes, both M&M and HoMM are the same world.

No, it's not exactly "same" (at least, from part 2 and on). They are fills the gaps into each other stories. 2nd part of HoMM happens right before part 6 of M&M, and 3rd - between 6 and 7. I didn't play HoMM4 unfortunately.
