A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Everyone always praises 3 but I grew up playing 2. I have nothing against HoMM 3 and enjoy it quite a bit, I just prefer HoMM 2 when I wanna get that nostalgia kick.
Still, amazing games.

It's the open source reimplementation of HoMM2. It's fully playable, although the reimplemented AI plays much, much smarter than the original, which can be an upside or a downside for you.
There is also an android version, it works great on a tablet!
There is Songs of Conquest which I think most HoMM players will appreciate. A modern wink to the series.

2 and 3 are both the best, and still going hard with fheroes2 and vcmi if anyone hasn’t chomped into them in a while.
For me too, the pixel art style of it I really love. I’ve even tried one because I was perhaps that feels closer to two than three, but it’s just too unpolished and primitive vs two.
Three may very well be the superior game. Same with AOE. For most people the love is for two; which is the better game, but I’ve always reached back to 1.
(Now with the DE editions of those, those are the better games, get 2 with the Rome expansion)

Perhaps a DE version of HoMM will be released as well.
Gotta love the music and SFX. Total nostalgia.
