Mechanika

Mechanika gameplay in Heroes of Might and Magic is an extension of the solutions known from the aforementioned King's Bounty.

The second aspect of the game are the battles with creatures and other opponents, as well as conquering the castles of our rivals. Fighting also takes place in turn-based system, on minimaps/b> hexagons covered with mesh. On the side of each of the heroes can fight whole troops of warriors, among which there are units specific to each commander (e.g. archers, stallions, elves or dragons), as well as neutral units recruited during exploration. The heroes themselves don't take part in the skirmishes, but they can support their army with magic.

Game Modes

The main game mode in Heroes of Might and Magic is a single player campaign, consisting of a total of eight missions. The first half of them take place with the participation of all four commanders who fight together to achieve a common goal. In the scenarios from the fifth to the seventh player's goal is to conquer the castles belonging to the other three. In the climax scenario, all sides of the conflict meet again on one map, but this time the other characters no longer fight with each other, but only with the player.

In addition to the one-person campaign, Heroes of Might and Magic also allows for a quick skirmish with computer opponents in single scripts. Virtually unlimited possibilities are provided here by the included editor, with the help of which we can both create new maps and change the existing ones. In the game there is also a multiplayer option for max. 4 players, via the Internet or LAN.
