      Did you take inspiration from some existing Irish/Celtic samples for the score? I recall running into a very similar track in The Witcher a few years ago.
      Regardless, thank you for your work. Your soundtrack was a sizeable part of my childhood. I always have the installers of III and IV installed on my computer and reinstall one or both of them once every several years. I just reinstalled III two weeks ago and have burnt so much time after work that I am already considering removing the game after this week .

    The great thing about HoMM music 1-4 is that it encapsulates the air of classic fantasy that truly feels like a world away.
    Alot of modern fantasy osts are loud and booming and too much of a spectacle, they miss the quietness of what makes fantasy special.

    Heroes 4 are definitely unpolished gem with so much potential they could have been easily best HOMM game ever if someone would reboot it with biggest problem fixed such as:
    1) Heroes would gain +1 attack and defence every 2 levels making combat not manatory skill.
    2) Useless class would be rebooted into something better (such as beastmaster and beastlord speciality).
    3) Each hero would have its unique speciality based on lore/previous heroes game and description.
    4) More units.
    5) More items, sets and option to sell items.
    6) Fix of useless skill (such as summoning from nature to be level based).
    7) More spells and effects that are and aren't already in game (e.g. protection from life, terror, protection from might, ice circle, freeze) and fixing of some spell abuse.
    Those are some changes I find HOMM4 needs.

      @@epoch933 This stems from HOMM3 where the gameplay could be much more min-maxed, competitive and specialized, especially the battles. HOMM3 battles were 2D sprites on a grid, where if you knew what you were doing you could beat surmounting odds by tactics like 1-stacking.
      This is absent in HOMM4 due to an urge to introduce 3D and an isometric view, which looks OK (although every humanoid moves like it's about to take a dump) but introduces a lot of chaos and unpredictability into the battles.
      One might say - yeah, that's how battles look like, chaotic. But if you're used to HOMM3 surgical precision of battles HOMM4 is quite a shocker.
      And then there are some questionable decisions like
      - you have to choose between types of creatures after lvl 1
      - units can roam the map without a hero but cannot capture buildings
      - hero can roam the map on his own and is an active participant of the battle, which means, towards lategame, a stack of black dragons will just munch on your carefully raised, painstakingly developed spellcasting hero and you're fkd.
      But overall I fell in love with the game, perhaps thanks to this beautiful music.
      I feel like a remaster, that uses the same music, map mechanics but updated 3D models and grid based combat could be potentially be a bestseller.
      Later installments felt too Warcrafty to me and I never played them.

      Actually, I found only one really big problem- the spell of creating an illusion. You can't do anything counter it - rather disbalansed thing. Roaming creatures are shocking, but... you know, I like some roaming every turn - the world lives no matter you do)

Piąta część była cudownym odnowieniem gry, wspaniały dobór aktorów głosowych w polskiej wersji, jednostki i miasta wszystkie wyglądały świetnie i kazda frakcja miala swoj wlasny styl. Trójkę doceniam ale może młody trochę jestem (01 rocznik), to aż tak mnie nie ciągnie do niej. Jesli sie przyczepic to w czworce miasta same w sobie sa bardzo niedorobione, kazdy model miasta to kwadrat, brakuje frakcji demonów. Księga zaklęć zdecydowanie najbardziej mi sie podoba w czworce jednak. O mojej opinii przeważa historia postaci w kampaniach, tak dużo czytania ale jak ktos chce sie wciagnac w gre to bardzo przyjemna jest droga praktycznie z kazda dostepna postacia. Czworka artystycznie troche odpada z tylu, ale najlepiej moim zdaniem wciaga w swiat fantastyki

    To those who claimed that H4 isn't as good as H3, I have 1 point for you: all the other series a hero would require at least 1 unit to run an army. In H4 you can have AN ARMY FULL OF HEROES. If that's not epic and unique, what is?

      @@patrickhatten8450 true, in fact I started playing H3 shortly before H4 came out. And during my campaign run for H3, I only opted for gold and never experience when stumbled on treasure chests. Because getting the unit earlier will allow u to win most battles which consequentially yield exp. I did the same strategy in H4 only to find that a level 20 fully combat skilled hero can solo 5 black dragons and an archmage can raid a castle all by herself. You will have to consider the resource and exp balance more and there's more to the game than building collecting and raiding.

    "Wandering" clearly was an inspiration for The Witcher 3 "The fields of Art Skellige" ost. Its the same thing ! ua-cam.com/video/NknjE2SBPxw/v-deo.htmlsi=oSGoZSY2GxWEv2Zp at 0:38

      Both used the same sound library. The Heroes devs didn't have time or money to do a completely original soundtrack :(

      Its a folk standard, I believe it appears in some other games and even movies. They are basically all "cover" versions of classic ballads. I think its Irish or something like that.
