Disciples 3

[Metroplex]

I actually tried Heroes V but didn't like it at all, hoping Disciples 3 is more like KB but with more 'realistic' looking graphics. (I love KB graphics too)

I used to love heroes 3 (I use the term 'used' simply because I've not played it in years) however I tried heroes V and disciples 2 this past year and disliked both of them; found them very boring and simplistic (single player campaign for both). No clue what disciples 3 will be like but given how much I dlsliked 2 I'm not holding my fingers crossed.

I should probably go back and play homm 3 again and see if I still like it; just to see if i've changed or the above mentioned games are really soured. Anyways if you are looking for an interesting TBS game you might take a peak at elemental war (to be released in august). This game is looking wickedly good to me.

Fyi: comparing homm v to KB - I played KB-L and KB-AP both more than 10 full games (that's a huge number of hours) where as HOMM V I had to struggle to finish the campaign and one day I might try the two add ons (it was a steam bundle over christimas for the fullset).

Another game you might consider is Eschalon book 2 (indie game). Anyways hopefully crossroads will come out soon. I plan to go back and play KBL again one of these days when time permits; had sort of hoped the editor would work with both games as I like the spell tweaks in KB-Ap but sort of prefer the rage chest and story as a whole in KB-L.

i agree. HOMM3 has almost the exact same style of fighting. Its pretty much the exact same game. The only difference is the movement on the map is not real time. the KB games are pretty much a direct root of HOMM3.
