    Thank you for compiling the soundtrack of my childhood. 🙂
    Gotta love how the dungeon faction changes the most between the Heroes games in terms of theme and vibe. In Heroes 1, 2 & 4 I get the feeling of a Saruman-esque Wizard. Someone important and extremely knowledgeable yet callous, who keeps an eclectic zoo of magical creatures on his wealthy mansion grounds. Always loved how the music is highly operatic in these versions. Gives the vibe of a tragic misunderstood figure like the phantom of the opera, Faust, Pygmalion, etc. The references are there but it's subtle. Very artful.
    The other games seem to riff off the underdark from D&D a lot more, and wear their influences more heavily on their sleeve. 3rd game is your classic underground dungeon from the 80s - a collection of misbeggotten gribblies roaming through cyclopean halls, remnants of an ancient civilisation thought lost to time.
    5th & 6th game are straight up Menzoberranzan from modern D&D/ the forgotten realms. The elves in the 5th game are clearly a direct rip-off of Warhammer Fantasy's own Dark Elves. Someone in the design team clearly saw what Games Workshop were doing and said hey! "Let's steal everything 1-to-1 from them and not even hide it! Don't even pretend to ask for copyright permission! It'll be fine."
    It's so unabashedly, unashamedly obvious what they were doing 😂.
    As a Druchii enjoyer myself, I approve wholeheartedly 😋.

      @@In_Purple_Clad It really is so diverse and I love how the game actuallt keeps on evolving its factions. I don't follow the main Might & Magic series but they say stuff that happen there affects Heroes but either way I love how factions always evolve

      After V they regressed to those idle game looking towns. I have no idea why.

    Might and Magic Heroes 6 did have Dungeon faction! It's in the expansion Shade of Darkness!

    IV is my favourite theme, while II and III (obviously) are my favourite of the series.

    Hate H7 as much as you want, I can not tell anything bad about the Cities' background. It looks like painting that you are expanding more and more by building new updates. And the Dungeon looks like it's inspired by Warhammer's Dark Elfs, Which I adore.

      If you want to add dark elves to the game, you might as well make a new town for that, instead of using the dungeon.

    Dark elves were wrong turn for Dungeon imo
