I don`t know where to start, but i`m not lying if I say that this game is a lifestyle. When it appears sometimes in 1999 I have a 80486 system at 66 MHz with 20 MB of ram and it tooks weeks to finish a medium sized map (imagine that I`ve finished the restoration of erathia campaign on it), but I was happy to play this game after I played heroes 2 day and night, this one was the best sequel ever made with thousands of improovments compared to it`s predecessor heroes 2.
It`s map creator (editor) simply stunned me, the only thing that I missed from it, was the random map generator but this "issue" was fixed later in Armageddon`s Blade. So when AB comes out I was stunned again. By the way many people don`t call this an expansion but I did, I loved the AB artifact the new heroes, the new conflux town and the 4 new dragons, especially when I have diplomacy and 100 azure dragons join me in custom scenarios :) Finally, I`m sure that many people do not agree with me, but the greatest step to improove this game was the release of THE SHADOW OF DEATH !! The artifact combos (set items) were great and many bugs were fixed in it!! So I played, I played and I played, over and over again, and I do even now in 2006 when Heroes 5 is here!
The conclusion is that Heroes 3 still rulezz and will do so for so many years in the future, if ubisoft do not improove their bad, buggy and lacky copy heroes 3, called Heroes of might and magic 5.

    The best Heroes game ever made, period! HOMM3:SOD in my opinion represents the pinnacle of the HOMM series. It had the best maps, enemies, heroes, and campaign of any of the HOMM games, and I've played them all. If you a... Read Full Review
