King's Bounty has better combat.

Yes. It has not been topped yet.

Master of Magic is better.

How compare Age of Wonders and Disciples to HoMM series?

What makes King's Bounty so great other than tits?
>>
>>342838648
It's hard to say. Each series has really solid games. Just avoid Disciples III, that game was dog shit. If you like HoMM, you'd definitely like Age of Wonders and Disciples.

>>342834028

Warlords Battlecry 3 was pretty good too

The only bullshit part of the game comes from the AI's constant need to flee from combat at the moment it begins to lose.

Is Kings Bounty better for people who don't want to do that base building shit?
>>
>>342840527
I guess. There is no building whatsoever, you're traveling as a knight, recruit guys and doing quests and shit, it's not typical strategy campaign or missions, more like rpg adventure.
>>
>>342840527
Yes. It's just combat and roaming with a hero in real time

>>342838808
Lot's of units. Lot's of spells and abilities to play around with.
You can build in 3 ways: might, army size, magic. I don't ever see a reason to go anything than magic because see below
Also, I think this game has the most ways to cheese out fights using units, abilities, spells and game mechanics I've ever seen in a single game.

It does get somewhat old if you play all the games in a row because they are basically copies with different maps and a couple new units.

I'm inclined to agree, though original AoW is up there for nostalgia value alone.

Both of those introduced me to fantasy as a genre.

How do we restore the HOMM series to its former glory?
>>
Are all of the modern Kings Bounty games good? I played the first when it came out and I liked it, but barely remember it now.

IIRC, Armored Princess was well received but the other ones didn't do so well?
>>
>>342841829
we cant and they cant and wont
>>
>>342841829
Take the IP off Ubisoft and give it to a studio who actually respects it. Since that's not going to happen, the second best thing you can do is make a Not-Heroes series.

king bounty games are on sale on steam atm aren't they?
