Hey SB, longtime subscriber here, I just wanted to take a minute to say that you do a good job. I enjoy learning new games with you without jump skips. You don’t try to sell us a VPNs or merchandise. Keep up the good work!
knights, swamp monsters, and undead are three very iconic vibes from HoMM tbh
Everyone who has played mutiplayer against an experienced Necro player has PTSD to this day...
@@GrandElemental only in homs 3 though...5 did fix the raise dead stack issue. % solved it by haveing x necromancy points per week depending on heroes, townbuildings etc and raising units costed thos epoints. The more advanced the higher the cost and only 1 per corpse.
I did have 4 but main faction were nature so don't recall how they handled undead. Heroes being units on the battlefield changed ALOT though. You could cancel spells by killing the mage or use stealth troops that were invisible to suprice attack etc
6:00 A world where a Baroness can't afford her own dagger!
Whoa! This looks so much like one of my favourite games of all time, Heroes of Might and Magic 3! Looking forward to seeing more of this playthrough!
Try heros hour its very fun
I absolutely love the Heroes of Might and Magic series. And this game inherits the spirit and gameplay of the original really well, so I´m excited to see your first dive into this "genre" (for lack of a better word). And yea, Cecilia is quite nasty. I think character wise you will enjoy the swamp factions campaign more.
I’m excited to see you play this, SB!
I love this game! Barya, in particular, is awesome fun to play.
This Cecilia Stoutheart seems like a bad egg!
9:55 King's Bounty is the game the Heroes of Might & Magic series is based on, and then this game is based on HOMM, so you are not wrong there.
There are a surprising number of people who are absolutely committed to the idea that humans must be the best in any setting
I also think human faction gameplay is often treated as sort of tutorial
@@ostelaymetaule It frequently is because its easiest to start with the most familiar, then introduce the variance once a player has an established baseline. Starting with the crazy nonsense isn't as impactful if the player doesn't know what the baseline is.
Let's go! Game's very good, easy to get into and with a very high skill ceiling as well!
One should not underestimate the power of minstrel spam.
Heck yeah! Hoping for whole campain
Comment for the algorithm.
Man I haven't heard SBs voice in years
The original King's Bounty game was the birthplace of the HoMM formula, with HoMM 1 following soon after.
If you will find the overall subgenre enjoable, the modern remakes of KB games are pretty good, although tgey suffer from an accessive amount of DLC campaigns and semi-sequels getting made.
Hey hey people, SB here
This comment is financed by the merchant guild.
are you going to do all the campagins?
More!
Hey hey people, SB here
I have played more of Songs of Conquest than I care to admit. It's a great game but it definitely has some rough spots.
Yo, King's Bounty mentioned.
Maybe useful information: in in-ear headphones at least, sometimes the music get almost painfully loud and overwhelming at the volume I need to play the video at to hear your commentary.
Maybe you could lower the in-game music just a little bit? It is very uneven in how loud and enthusiastic it get.
to be honest these sorts of stories are impossible to care about
RPG stories are a good war, spoiled.
Maybe up the difficulty?
2:00 "I don't know why developers feel the need to do this" [referring to the first campaign being the "normal" human one, and the later ones possibly having more interesting factions]
I can tell you why. When Baldur's Gate 3 released most people created a custom character. However, the majority of those people played a Human Paladin, followed by Elves and Half-Elves. Class wise people played paladins, warriors, wizards and rogues. The game has Dragonborn and Tiefling and Dwarves and Orcs and Githyanki and Gnomes and, and, and;
and the overwhelming majority of players chose a some varaint of a human warrior who believes in a monotheistic god.
People don't actually want unique factions or characters or choices. For some reason.
Also this looks very fun. Another game added to the long list of stuff I might pick up :D
Depends on the game probably, me and most people I know who played any Elder Scrolls games chose Khajiit first.
@@denismayak I strongly doubt that's representative of the wider audience. Skyrim was played by a lot of people, there is bound to be a lot of variance locally.
Also, given this channel specifically, I would hope that SBs audience is more in the camp of expressing themselves playing more varied characters ;)
Specifically I'd say that many people (myself included) enjoy a familiar base for their own faction/character/etc in humanity, and then to go out and explore a wide wacky world of other races, factions, planets, whatever the setting is. Like in Star Control 2, you're a human aboard an alien ship sure, going off to adventure involving aliens and nothing but, but your first stop is humanity, getting a base of operations, and a familiar face to guide you before you head out. I don't think that's exactly unreasonable.
Great game but ai is weeeeak
It got better since the ea release, tbh... also you can change the difficulty level, which I believe it also change the computer behaviour
