HoMM V, by Ubisoft and Nival, started out as a remake of III in 3D and takes place in a new setting called Ashan also used for all subsequent games.
The rights for the series eventually went to Ubisoft, with the new games serving as a Continuity Reboot. Might and Magic IX and Heroes IV take place on different landmasses of the planet Axeoth, where the survivors fled after Enroth got scorched by the meeting of Armageddon's Blade and the Sword of Frost.Īfter IV, 3DO went into hard times and NWC eventually ceased to exist. Enroth and Antagarich are continents of the same planet (also named Enroth), as is Might and Magic VIII's setting, Jadame. Might and Magic VII shares its setting (Antagarich) with Heroes III, and runs between III and its expansion pack Armageddon's Blade. There are occasional crossovers between the series: Might and Magic VI shares a setting (Enroth) with Heroes of Might and Magic I and II, and runs almost concurrently with Heroes III. You win (typically) by being the only player to control towns.Īccording to both That Other Wiki and the fansite Age of Heroes, the series was inspired when someone had the idea of combining the walk-around-the-map-trying-to-save-the-world strategy of the earlier NWC game King's Bounty with the Roleplaying Game aspects of Might and Magic. You play as a faction (based on various High Fantasy archetypes) and control towns which can be built to recruit units for your army among many other benefits, and heroes who can explore The Overworld and engage in combat with Neutrals, Critters, and Creeps and eventually other players. Heroes of Might and Magic is a series of turn-based strategy computer games created by New World Computing, spinning off from the RPG series Might and Magic.
