Heroes of Might and Magic 1-5

Jelly Sculptress · 07-04-2006, 04:49 PM

Amazon.co.uk (am I allowed to mention a company? sorry if not this isn't meant to be an ad!) are doing a Heroes Complete set which contains games I thru V, which they say is exclusive to them, but what they can't tell me is whether it contains the expansions for 3 and 4, does anyone here know? Apparently there are no phones in the Amazon because when I emailed to ask they just said (and I paraphrase), er, well, us customer service bods are not in the same place as the warehouse so we can't look at it for you. D'uh. It's only 5 quid more than Heroes V on its own so I'm tempted, but would like to know if I can get it and sell my Heroes 3 complete...

What expansions are out for 4?

Jelly Sculptress · 07-06-2006, 03:01 PM

Oh, sorry my bad, thought there were some for 4!

Betelgeuse · 07-06-2006, 10:15 PM

here's the list of what's out. http://www.mobygames.com/game_group/...meGroupId,212/
i see the collection you mention isn't there. and they describe it as an 'amazon exclusive'. this phrase is promsing though - "the entire versions of Heroes of Might and Magic 1 to 4." so its possible. reviewer said only homm5 has a manual but other than that there's no known complaints yet.
i guess if its not what you want you could always return it [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks Betelgeuse, I checked too and there are 2 expansions to number 4, namely The Gathering Storm and The Winds of War. If I buy the Amazon pack I'll post back here and let you know exactly what's in this collection.

Please do. I'd be very much interested in this too. Do they ship to Ireland?

Could you give price and link. Thanks!!

Jelly Sculptress · 07-08-2006, 03:34 PM

Hi ZFR,
well I've ordered it so I'll post back when I know if the expansions are included. It looks like they do ship to Ireland, they count it as Western Europe and a pc game is 4.98 GBP delivery I think. The link to the game is:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

and the link to the postage page is :

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...631722-5095066

I hope that's helpful. I just made my 100th post but I'm not sure about now being a bloke with bluey veins, lol.

ZFR · 07-08-2006, 03:49 PM

Cool. Thanks very much Jelly S!

I have bought HoMM3. Then I bought a collector edition HoMM1, HoMM2, HoMM2 expansion PoL, HoMM3 (no expansions for HoMM3).

If I'm going to pay for HoMM3 a third time I'd very much rather it was the complete set this time.

The expansions to HOMM3 are wicked, but are really hard esp Shadow of Death. I keep having to restart campaigns. I don't know why but I just can't stop playing it even though it takes forever and the other guys always seem to have 50 dread knights before I've barely started. There must be some subliminal messaging in this game to keep me playing it! If Heroes 4 and 5 are as good I'm sorted for life! I will post back here when I get the new pack so I can tell you ZFR, as like you I don't want to pay for the same game again if if doesn't have the expansions, in the meantime Heroes 3 complete (original plus expansions) and Heroes 4 complete can be found on ebay if anyone's desperate.

Back soon (depending on the snail mail).

I bought the DVD edition of HOMM V it comes with the Heroes III and IV Base games but no hint of the expansion modules..which I would love to have for III as I didn't get all of them. HOMM V is pretty good with the Patch in (ver. 1.1)
