After playing EU3 with Austria and getting bored way too fast (too easy), I started with Wallachia. :p I had 2 provinces when I started (Wallachia, Oltenia), 16 ducats and was a vassal of the Ottomans.

But look what this 1 king did:

Some of the early history was removed though... it was too long I guess. :lol:

He's in his 52nd year of reigning right now! :D He fought in every single big battle I had, as a general.
 
I demand a screenshot of your empire! :hammer:
 
Ok here's a screenshot. :)

I originally planned to move into Italy and then into the Balkans, but Lithuania inherited Poland and formed a superstate right at my north, which declared war on me at some point. So I needed to focus on that area much more than I planned to (I planned to leave them alone for probably around 100 years more :p).

From the order in which the provinces are shown in that first screenshot, you can easily guess how the game went. :) A quick write-up would be:
Spoiler :

First I unified Romania, starting with Moldova as soon as I could, then I conquered Hungary, except for Szolnok - capital (I was lucky Austria went at war with them in the same time, otherwise I don't think I would have won). Then Austria declared war on me. :(

While I stood absolutely no chance against Austria (probably 2nd most powerful in the world at the time), they were at war with France at the same time (probably 1st most powerful in the world :p). So I managed to occupy 4-5 of their provinces before they had the chance to bring troops back from the low countries. This got me the provinces of Ersekujvar (old Hungarian province, the one they got after the war) and Krain.

Once I had Krain, I had access at the Adriatic Sea, and I started conquering Italy. This was probably the easiest part of the game, as they were all fragmented, usually 1-province countries with armies of usually 2000-3000 people, constantly fighting each other.

I was super annoyed at Castille getting 1 province in eastern Italy and Aragon getting Calabria, Apulia, and the island of Sicily, but there was really nothing I could do about it.

Then the HUGE Lithuania declared war on me (probably because of a high BB-rating) and so I conquered them. This was a looong and painful process but they were at war with Muscovy too so it could have been much harder. They still have 2 provinces left... And there's also a bug! You can see 1 province "occupied" by the Russians, but Muscovy is at peace with them now. :lol:

The 3 states in the Balkans are not taken from the Ottomans, they are taken from Venice, which somehow managed to get those from them though they were pretty strong in the time. I had only 1 open war with Venice, only 2 years after a 30-year alliance and great relations. They gave up 2 of the provinces, and I forced the independence of Bosnia, which I conquered later.

Now I'm going to start moving into Germany... :D I'd love to take the Balkans from the Ottos (especially since they are already my religion!), but Germany is so much easier, with their fragmented states.

Seeing your screens enticed me to try out the B&W2 demo. Pretty cool, controlls still suck, and lack of miracles was a disappointment, but otherwise it's cool, although conquest was a bit too easy, just stomp the enemy troops with my creature and send in mine to capture the town center. I just spent the rest of the time seperating the nords that migrated early on to my main city from there back to where they came from, made them all breeders and watched them start popping them out like rabbits.

I took a few survivors from other nord towns and put them there, but mostly they just died off because they're too stupid to breed themselves, and so I just went completely evil smashing old people's homes with rocks and then flinging them into things and enjoying the lovely cracking sounds they made. I smashed every building outside the nord ghetto and my main town.

It seemed pretty fun, I can't remember what I heard bad about it but it seems alright, bit more structured feel than the first but still very similar other than the lack of anything that's really godly. Maybe if I see it for cheap I'll get it, still gonna miss sacrificing children and ignoring my towns until they die off from me sacrificing people faster than they reproduce while flinging fireballs at people.
 
actually I find the hardest way to play is by using the millitary, I'm used to peacefully taking over other cities and just defending one huge capital from the enemy.

since a friend of mine has my black and white 2 disk I'm using Battle of the gods, my only troops tend to be archers on my walls but then the first army I made I decided to take a screenshot of, it didn't go well

my creature ran up to the enemy base and broke through the gate, killed the archers that were doing an impressive amount of damage and destroyed the troops guarding the closest city, my troops moved in then to capture the city, just as that happened I noticed that my people were starving due to the food upkeep of my army, I went back to my town and cast life on my resources hopefully saving a large amount of my population

when I checked back on my army and my creature? I found my creature dead and a giant wolf smashing the last of my army, after that I focused more on my city and its roads

I personally thought Heroes 2 was the best of the bunch.

I didn't catch the golden days of 2 - i only played it a little. It's the massive amounts of units and creature abilities that made like 3 more.
By comparison, having halved the number of creatures, Heroes4 was doomed from the start in my eyes.
5 + TotE got the number of units, abilities and hero developement right. But there is something wrong about it. It lacks a Heroes of Might & Magic soul. It's not a Heroes game - it's a different, but GREAT game.
 
Processor wise its pretty heavy P4 2.0 gHz would be good to have. Gfx card is less needed until the final stage since the gfx are almost the same thing. Im sure if turned down to low you could run it decently.

That game looked really cool. How demanding is it of your computer?

It's not too demanding of your computer as there's rarely much actually going on at any one time, it's focused on the puzzles which are pretty sedate so your screen isn't going to be spammed up with explosions or anything, though the graphics themselves are pretty advanced (Source engine). You should be able to run it fine on a mid-low specish machine.
 
Have the Ashes of Al'ar?


Tempest Keep is the best looking TBC instance. We'll see Kael in Sunwell Plateu, can't wait!
