These attributes increase the attack level of his troops, their defense level, the effect of the hero's spells, and the number of total spell points, respectively. When increasing levels, a hero also gains additional skills which help specialize the hero as a spell caster, explorer, siege master, sailor, or pure fighting machine.
Heroes, however, don't fight in battles directly, other than casting spells to aid their troops or damage the opposing side.
They lead troops of other creatures, up to seven different types per hero. When battle is begun, the view shifts from an overhead world view to the side view combat screen. Combat takes place on a hex grid and a single graphic represents a stack of each type of creature.
Stacks of creatures take turns moving according to their speed, and attack opposing units hand-to-hand, or with ranged weapons.
Battles take place on open terrain or against fortifications when attacking a city. Cities are the most important locations in the game, providing gold and places to recruit creatures as well as marketplaces and other special buildings. There are eight different types of towns, and each town has seven different buildings which allow you to recruit seven creature types.
Each of these buildings can be upgraded to provide an improved unit of that same basic type. So eight towns with seven creatures each gives fifty-six creatures with two power levels each. It will be a while before you even see all the creatures, let alone discover the best combinations of arms for your battles. The campaign game is composed of six multi-scenario parts detailing the war over Erathia from the point of view of the good, the bad, and the merely mercenary. The story isn't overdone and the scenarios are quite well made.
There are also many single scenarios included on the CD and an infinite number can be made with the included scenario editor. If you get tired of playing by yourself, multiplayer is also supported over nearly every kind of connection. The graphics are much improved from the previous versions of the game and eliminate much of the cartoony feel.
That games of this genre are generally more focused on gameplay than eye-catching graphics is, in my opinion, simply how it should be. However, it is a pleasure to see a great game where the graphics are as good as the gameplay. The cityscapes are especially impressive. The sound effects are fine, although they add little to the game itself. The audio track? Well, I left it on longer than I normally do with these types of games. I guess that says something. Without reservation, I recommend it to anyone with even a vague interest in strategy games who missed the previous versions.
My only real wish is that one day a game this well-done would be a first release rather than the fourth iteration of a series. A final note to New World Computing if you're still reading: Congratulations; well done. You've made an excellent game, the Heroes of Might and Magic that is everything we knew it could be.
