*yawn* Was up all night playing it... Took me 6 hours to capture 'Deathgate' on easy level tongue Could have done it earlier mind you, but I was having too much fun building up the army - 96 Titans grin

It's excellent :E

I'm starting the campaign tonight - I tried it about a month ago, but after ages playing it the other armies were too strong - on the first level! Which is odd, as I'd completed that level a couple of years before at a friends...

Anyway, I've practiced a lot more now smile

Think it will be my next purchase too smile Played HOMM1 on the PC years ago and it was fabulous. According to the RComp site, it comes with a second CD of levels - are these any good?

Haven't got that CD with me at uni - but I recall that the AA review said they were good smile

I also left the proper CD at home; which means I can't listen to the gorgeous music unhappy

I liked it so much I brought it for my brother and my dad as birthday presents smile

But it does tend to eat up the time.

this is what has always put me off buying it - the time to play it!
TEK took long enough, especially the last level - probably about 5 hours! Luckily I could just keep saving.

Well, I tried the first level of the Good campaign yesterday; and green came down after a couple of weeks with a huge army! I could defeat him; but I lost so many of my own troops, it hardly seemed worth it unhappy

Bah!

Well, I sat down last night and completed the first five scenarios of the Good campaign grin Including 'Save the Dwarves' - which is bloody useful...

I'll try to do some more tonight smile
