![]() Most of the console games are eye candy with a utter hollow, boring gameplay that can't hook me up for even 10 minutes. All my friends have Playsations 2, now 3 soon I go to their houses and I am sure I am not missing anything. let me keep it short First, even nowadays I will play old games on emulators because after years of playing half-done, and badly done eye candy games, it's just not what I look for. I could go on and make a long rant about 3d graphics vs. I remember playing AoW 1 demo many years ago and got hooked up instantly. I played HoMM 5 demo and got bored after 10 minutes. Well, first of all, HoMM 5 was just released. I think HoMM5 is better than AoW2 SM, plz don't flame. I feel bored playing the hero that knows he's not gonna get any different skills/ultimates from the other ones. If your hero levels up, then he gets random skills. The heroes in this game also level up through fighting and get new skills/abilities, but there isn't a tech tree or anything. Global spells also have upkeep, and you also need casting points.If you don't find gold mines or mana nodes then pretty much you're dead. Your creatures have upkeeps that you have to pay every turn. I think that the game is harder than HoMM5. All the spells are different and fun to play with, if you have the mana. There are 6 main magic schools and 2 special ones(Cosmos, Chaos). I enjoyed the global spells in AoW2 SM, it is really cool to see when somebody get burn every turn in your domain. In this game, your main character is a wizard that doesn't fight in the frontier but stay deep inside your capital and cast global spells. The 3D graphic is okay in my opinion but HoMM5 is way better. The Frostlings are from the Frozen North, and the Archons are holy fanatics.etc. Each race has a theme that sticks with itself. Most of them seem to be copies of certain creatures with only some new abilities. Ghosts of each race can perform different task like possesion, haunt mines.etc.ĪoW2 SM has 15 different races. ![]() The longer the opponents take in their turn, the longer you can use your ghosts. HoMM5 supports a 'Ghost mode' that help hasten the game. They are all in the 'tactic' mode when heroes fight in combat.There are only 4 adventure spells, so it's very boring when no cool spell can be use in adventure mode. The new race, Fortress in the expansion, has a nwe type of magic called runes. All these catergories and perks leads up to an ultimate skill.There are 4 magic schools : destructive, summon, dark, light. The wizards have Knowledge as primary and Spellpower as secondary. The skills and perks of the catergories in each attribute are different than the Academy's wizards. The Haven's heroes, humans that follow the dragon of light, has the Defense as a primary attribute and Attack as the secondary. The skill system of the heroes is very dynamic and special to each race. The tax system from town and newtral buildings to get money, neutral creeping for resources and heroes level up. There are only 6(7 with the new expansion)races. There are 14 creatures for each race, but 7 is unupgrade version and the other 7 is the upgrade version, so actually there isn't much differences. The Sylvan, wood elves live on an island with a gigantic tree in the middle.etc. Those that don't know this game should try to look at the towns of each race. Okay, I really want to know which game is better, HoMM5 or AoW2 SM.
