Stronghold scenarios suffer from the old maxim "when the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail." Stronghold heroes hit things. This is what Sandor has gotta work with: a zebra-Katniss and a goblin that periodically gnaws on his own weapon and spits out the broken teeth.Sandor's Scenarios are Very Easy I confess, given my dislike of might factions, I started Sandor's campaign with quite a bit of apathy. But Sandor starts as a might hero, and you gotta work with what you're given. There's no real challenge.Īt least in HOMM6 Stronghold (might) heroes can learn and use magic. Can I defeat the enemy army in fewer hits than it will take them to defeat me? If yes, attack. Who cares when your troops die when their bodies only contribute your impending surprise victory? ![]() Especially some of the necromancer spells, where you can use the dead from both sides to reinforce your army. There's some spells that can make a magic hero almost invincible, even when your army is greatly outnumbered. There's something exciting about engaging in combat with a magic hero. I can't remember in later versions, probably because I didn't play the faction at all. Especially in HOMM3, when they couldn't use magic at all. I've never liked the might based factions in HOMM. I'm not so sure about the shoulder pads.Might is Right Boring He assures me the tassels he's attached to his loincloth are not compensating for anything. ![]() I think this is part of why is campaign is so tedious, especially when contrasted with the rest of the game. Very little of what happens to Sandor is new. Hey Sandor, remember when you saved your sister Irena from her rapey husband? Hey Sandor, remember when you met your sister Anastasia and she was undead? Hey Sandor, remember when your orc bro Kraal was buddies with your dad? Hey Sandor, remember that one time at band camp? Hey Sandor. His campaign actually reminds me of an episode of Hercules: The Legendary Journey (don't judge me) where Herc and Iolaus are walking through some big long cave and recount previous adventures to each other to pass the time. The fifth child, Sandor, is the main character of the last campaign although he does cameo in most of the previous campaigns.So for the sake of continuity most of Sandor's campaign rehashes what has already happened previously. The five main campaigns in HOMM6 follow the five children of Duke Slava, who each end up following a different path and leading a different faction. Why? Here's a breakdown to try and work out where the fun went. But Kiril's desire to live out his days alternating between his angel and succubus lovers was also quite amusing, as was Irena's resigned but eager violence (she reminded me a lot of Babylon 5's Ivanova).īut now I'm on the last scenario of the last campaign and I can barely bring myself to load the game. I think my favourite story moment was Antastasia's fury upon learning that Michael the Archangel had seduced her because he wanted her body to house the soul of the woman he truly loved. HOMM6 has some of the best scripted campaigns I've seen in the franchise and I've gotten huge enjoyment out of playing through the story as well as the scenarios themselves. I picked up Heroes of Might and Magic VI (which is now apparently called Might and Magic Heroes VI, but herewith will be called HOMM6) on a super sale and I've been playing through the campaigns. ![]()
