PAULanthonyROMERO fantastic work! I have a question - were you inspired by the melody that can be found in Ingmar Bergman's "the seventh seal" from the flagellants march scene? :) ua-cam.com/video/55_fSw0xxOs/v-deo.html Best regards
This melody was also used now in Westworld Season 3 Episode 5: (44:41) I'm sure Ramin Djawadi played Heroes 5 too:) (I guess he knows this melody from it)
@@dreadknight0 Problem actually seems to be that they did not put enough effort in to the sequels after this. So it became forgotten because they did not squeeze enough out of it. For some reason people simply did not want to but a subpar experience of the previous game. Weird huh? Personally I like some of the directions they were going with in 6. I like that the art direction was less cartoony. And there were some interesting aspect on gameplay. I really disliked them pushing in some dumb meta progressions that made it seem like you had to work to unlock stuff. Urgh...

On the bright side, Ubisoft is reportedly hiring people to discuss making a new triple A might and magic game. Just hope that they manage to get it right like Heroes V.
@@orklord6568 I hope so too. I was disheartened when people kept asking if there's going to be more Heroes games but the only answers were "franchise is dead after M&M VIII botched it's sales".
I recently learned that the main motif of this track is known as "dies irae", which has been used for over 800 years to signify death in church symphonies. It has been used in various film soundtracks to underline death or unease. There's a fantastic video on this topic here on youtube. As soon as I learned about this, this amazing game and this specific song popped in my head after years of not thinking about it.
For me this game is on the same level as HoMM3... so much epicness in the art and music - great gameplay and so much creativity... brings a tear to my eye thinking we will never get a masterpiece like this ever again...
Personally, I only played with Heroes 3(including AB, SoD, WoG -->I found so much fun in WoG), Heroes 5 (with both expansions), and now playing Heroes 6. I still have all of them on my PC and have already made all the campaigns at least once(with 3 and 6 once, with 5 like ~5 times and I just finished with 6) and I must say I fell in love with all of them. I don't know how you can easily say that this and this one piece of this gem is better than the others when all of them were so unique and different and enjoyable on its own, even though the fact that all has their mistakes, too. Just gotta love the series, peace

Despite the similar title of Dies irae, the lyrical segments are entirely from Roman Catholic responsory "Libera me" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libera_me ): (...) Dies illa, dies iræ, calamitatis et miseriæ (...) Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine (...) (background accompanying choir)
Those sounds from City of Glory and Sunshine of Hope...The Songs of High Empire of Light with All Us... The Wisdom of your Pure Prosperity and Divinity... We're in all... All is in us!
Seems like good place to ask, does anyone know what's written on various swords throughout the game, for example Godric's sword and so on ? Thanks upfront if anyone answer. :)
@svacar "Dies illa Dies Irae Calamitatis et Miseriae" translates roughly as "this day of judgement and wrath will bring calamity and misery." It's part of a poem called Libera Me and can be found in the wiki.
While You are right about the circumstances of when the song would be performed, the title's translation, from latin, is 'Day of wrath' or 'Ire Day', if You may
Matter of fact, that's a knight and, judging by the armor, he might be Godrik. I take it, you meant the guy on the ingame menu screen, not the one in the video.
The lyrics go: "Dies illa, dies irae, calamitatis et miseriae Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, dona eis Domine" from 2:08 it's the second line in the background, while the main voices (male and female) in the foreground repeat the first line (without 'calamitatis et miseriae', just 'dies illa, dies irae') in some 'crisscross' manner...

Best Song in the 2nd to best Might and Magic game ever... Loved this franchise but VI was a minor letdown (Except for the music!) and VII was a tragedy.
I remember staying on the main menu for this song and to see that Inquistor battling the Archdevil, good times.

2.Heroes 5
3.Heroes 4
4.Heroes 2
5.Heroes 1
6.Yellow Starburst
7.Mosquito Bites
8.New Jersey
9.Heroes 6 and 7
1. Homm3 2. Homm5, rest is shit and not worth play
Heroes 4 is good game, it's just difrent.

While You are right about the circumstances of when the song would be performed, the title's translation, from latin, is 'Day of wrath' or 'Ire Day', if You may

Do they repeat the same line over and over again all the time? Because I don't understand what it says after 2:08
The lyrics go:
"Dies illa, dies irae, calamitatis et miseriae
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, dona eis Domine"
from 2:08 it's the second line in the background, while the main voices (male and female) in the foreground repeat the first line (without 'calamitatis et miseriae', just 'dies illa, dies irae') in some 'crisscross' manner...
