if there is ever a zombie apocalypse it is good to know someone can still play Heroes 3.
We had not thought about that. Now we need a shelter with room for the game, table and chairs
eastern european preppers paradise!
Almost what I was thinking. I said to myself that this can be a good bargain if or probably when we finally lose our electricity.
@@mikkoainasoja5018 We recently experienced to be without internet in several days, and a big collection of Board games in indispensable.
20 years ago a did board game about HOMM by myself, but it took year to do, it contained 1 big map, 2-3 battlefields. New army of Japanese in it, with ninjas, shoguns, Dragons.
Sounds awesome, based on how the game is designed it is interesting why it have taken so long to make an adaptation.
@@DadsGamingDK First of all, I did not know how to do 'game engine' to play it, it took time to think. Then, it took time to draw all of units, portraits, castles, and I did not good at arts. A did many of board games, but in genre Beatemup, like streets of rage and golden axe.
After it, I did modern Heroes, about street wars between street gangs.
Holy Cows... I loved Heroes of Might and Magic III !!!!
Who would have imagined being to play a Boardgame based on that PC game!
Exactly, now we're grownups and doesn't play video games anymore, we play boardgames, much more sophisticated right?
@@DadsGamingDK i crating my own games for example.
Heck I probably played it for the first time (video game) like 6-8 years ago. I’m introducing my kids to board games so I would love to see a gameplay video of this tbh 😅
@@dontwanadisplaynameonutube2951 It is a actually a very well designed board game, and we think you could play it with "big" kids if you use the simple batlle system. For at video of how it play solo we made this video ruclips.net/video/5lytVVGpnQI/видео.html
Looking at this reminds me of the joy of physical games. Like when computer games were only sold in physical boxes in stores with manuals and everything. Used to enjoy opening it up and reading the manual.
Same for us, back in the days where you proudly showcased your game boxes on the shelves. A very nice tribute to this is the retro card pack for Resident Evil the Board game which is a copy of the original PC game box. You can check it out in our unboxing video here ruclips.net/video/dWmH1sXJHMk/видео.htmlsi=KAk1ROtTsRYPjxB_
Such a huge box. Nice to see that everything just fits right in 💪
We totally agree, all too often you need to go out and get a custom storage solution, would love to see more publishers offering these types of boxes.
Crazy that they managed to fit everything in a single box, or trunk! To have that out and on display for quick access would take up an entire bookshelf.
Yes it is an insane amounts of components in that big "trunk", and just the box alone take up 1,5 "Kallax" unit of top space.
Looks gorgeous. Hoping the gameplay is on par with the components.
It is an amazing looking game, and it really captures the feel of the original game. Based on our current plays it also have a really solid gameplay, at least for 2 player clash and solo campaign play.
It's incredibly cool! Thanks for the review, congratulations on such a purchase!
Thanks, it is a really cool game, and it seems like it also have a lot of potential gamewise.
It looks amazing, I cant wait to try it someday
It is indeed an amazing looking game, and it just captures the feel of the original game.
For all of you HoMM3 fans (one of my favorite games of all time), check out Age of Wonders 4. It will give you that warm fuzzy nostalgic feeling. They're still developing (quality) DLC for it.
We agree, Age of Wonders is a fantastic game series trying to continue some of the nostalgia around the Heroes of Might and Magic game formula.
WoW!!!! My Favorite game long time ago in youth!!!! I should buy this definitely! 🤩
We actually discussed this after unboxing the game, and talked about how many hours we played this hot seat and later over IPX network back in our youth. It is an awesome game, and still is today, and this is a great adaption of it
looks well put together. I almost backed this, I was going to be all in until I saw more on the gameplay, and then decided it wasn’t for me. I instead went with Adventure Tactics as my big box game, and so far I’m not regretting it. I hope you do end up enjoying this though.
Until now we have enjoyed it, but nice to hear you actually did some research and then decided it wasn't for you. This is an awesome looking game, with solid gameplay, but it is mostly an very good 1 player solo game, 2 player "skirmish" game, and maybe 4 players in alliance mode (we haven't tried that yet)
Brilliant video. Thank you for uploading.
Glad you liked it, and thanks for watching
Damm, that's a huge box.
It is, and heavy as well. So even though it is easier to bring it along, compared to all the individual boxes, it definetely requires some muscle.
Remove the big creature tray from the box, small surprise underneath 😊
Thanks for the heads up, we somehow missed this in the unboxing, loved the small "surprise". A RUclips shorts video will get published soon with this.
what is it? As an big fans of HoMM i'm curious
@@mukagila2940 Take a look on this RUclips short as we discover it ourselves, after reading @hoflpeter comment ruclips.net/user/shortskxYApr3sdo8?feature=share
Crazy detailed! But do you need a table the size of a gymnasium to play it?
It takes up some table space, but actually a lot less than some other games. We have been able to play it comfortably 2 players on a extra folding table we use for recording. Also very soon another video will be published how to setup the game and this also shows the actual game footprint on table.
Спасибо за видео! Даже сама распаковка восхищает, очень круто всё выглядит. Если выйдет на русском обязательно куплю, а пока играем в hota)
Thanks for watching and the kind words
this looks amazing! i would never imagine that they made a board game out of it
It does look amazing, and we were also blown away. Also it captures almost all the different parts of the original game in a really nice way, when played on the tabletop.
@@DadsGamingDK i am assuming it costs a lot since the quality looks very good aswell but it is worth it if you can spend
@@chefmanou It it actually in the cheaper end for its size, around 180$ for this box with core game and all expansions.
It looks really well made! Hope it will play well too!
It is an Amazing looking game, and it plays really well too. Check out our solo play video to see actual gameplay ruclips.net/video/5lytVVGpnQI/видео.htmlsi=6TS570AFhhBog9tN
I wanna come over and play!
We can totally understand, it is a fantastic and awesome looking game.
Also! Underneath the last batch of Figures, on the very bottom - You also have a Secret card 🥰
Yep, we actually did a RUclips short of it ruclips.net/user/shorts1_sA3yAnhpo?si=lX0O_zeHezWp4Ouj
Brilliant ❤🎉
Thanks Richard ❤️
Video is about Heroes III but the music sounds like old Sid Meier's Colonization. :D
The music is from a music pack called Medievel Fantasy Music
At this point game designers are just making them as big as they can assuming people will just never play them.
It sometimes looks like it, though a lot of the big games are actually real solid gamewise. As of right now one of our favourite games is actually Otahsworn into the Deepwood, and is an even bigger box than HoMM 3, but it hits the table almost weekly. So if the game is good enough people will play them, the most important thing, at least for us, is the setup and teardown time.
Overwhelming indeed 😂
Kinda like axis and allies
Got my Game in march and WE played it. The Game is so nice.
@@1988Beeni It really is, looks awesome both on the sshelf and on the table, and plays really well too.
Воу, прекрасная идея, хотелось бы иметь такое...
Thanks, it is an amazing game.
This looks a thousand times more elaborate than the video game
Nahh, a lot of things have been simplified for the Boardgame. It just feels that way because you have to remember all of the things yourself, instead of the computer doing it for you.
Dang this is a huge box
It definitely is, and if you wondered whether it will fit in a Kallax, it will not (on top maybe) 😀
Gosh! Where to get and how much does it cost?
I found only a cut version on their web-site with 3 or 4 factions...
This is a special collectors edition, but it wouldn't surprise us if another version of it comes along as they release the next 3 expansions.
Hello there, thx for the video. I am thinking to buy the game as well. I would like to have all the expansions and if they make another bigpack version soon, I would rather have that one. Sadly I didn't see the kickstarter. Would have loved to have your version.
Hi and thanks for watching. We understand why these complete boxes are the ones people want, but unfortunately we don't know for sure, wheter they will make a new complete box. Our thought is they will come with a complete big box when the last factions are released to finish of the series.
Awesome
Glad you liked it, it was really awesome to see all the final components for the first time.
After all, every day here is some kind of battle. Sometimes big, sometimes small. With a crazy werewolf, with a Dark Magician, with all the forces of Darkness at once. Tension of forces, protruding chins, bulging eyes, readiness to jump with your chest on an embrasure or bare ass on a hedgehog.
This is very true for this game
@@DadsGamingDK Everyone has their own destiny. For someone - to play in other people's lives IN the GAME or to break OTHER PEOPLE's empires in the game. For someone, it's easy to live!!! AND DON'T PLAY. BUT TO LIVE!!!! Americans are like CHILDREN!!!!
P. S. AND YES, CHILDREN PLAY games!!!
Looks unbelievably great. Same pictures as we remember, but redone better. Hope gameplay will be decent too.
Yeah, the redrawn graphics but with the original source material as reference is awesome. Also it is a pretty good game as well, for an example how it plays check out this video ruclips.net/video/5lytVVGpnQI/видео.htmlsi=zgqUpwBpBDrN7UxZ
Great set. But is it a kickstarter kit. Because it is different from the basic store one.
This is a special "Big Box" that was offered as part of the fufillment of the KS campaign, it wasn't part of the initial campaign.
ofcource it fits when you dont punch anything. after punching try again. its a strange insert when it comes to all the small parts..
We have punched everything out and played the game several times. The worst part was the missing guide to how everything should be stored in the compartments (especially with sleeved cards), but after reaching out we got a pretty good idea of how to pack everything without any problems.
If you're interested we can do a short video about it?
@@DadsGamingDK ye its my friends game but we had some trouble trying to fit all the punch stuff and not blend it allThe plastic chips also made it hard. Im no fan of the big all in one plastic inserts. Hard to get stuff out without either picking it one by one or tipping it all att once.
I’m definitely struggling on getting all the tokens into the box. A video on it would be fantastic
@@timrusk1916 We will note it down in our video idea list, and thanks for commenting.
Thats insane
Yes it is, and then with the confirmation of three more of the factions already being designed for this game as well it just makes it incredible.
thank you very much for the upload. enjoy
Thanks for watching
Damn I play Homm3 to this day, it has the best gameplay loop and balance from all Homm games.
And this is maybe the first board game I'm going to play, but I guess it costs a fortune lmao
We also still play HoMM3 though mostly single player. This game is actually in the cheaper end of "Big Box" games, at around 180$ (still a lot for a boardgame though)
Super cool.
It really is, and so many memories from the original game.
Хочу такие же наборы по всем героям с 3 по 5 часть)
Yeah a complete set of faction would be awesome.
I've always wanted to get into a board game with 9000 pieces and a 1200 page manual on how to play it, but I never had the time.
Interesting enough, most of the big games have dome of the smallest rulebooks. An interesting set of big games is are the ones with simple rules, where more rules is added through additional components as you progress. Oathsworn is an amazing game which uses this principle.
How much does this charm cost? And is it possible to buy in other countries?
It was around 180$ and it was as far as we know sold world wide, it isn't available at the moment, but we guess an updated version will be available as more expansions is released.
@@DadsGamingDK Thanks for the clarifications.
where can you buy this?? everywhere i look they sell only core version
Unfortunately this is a special edition with all the expansions from the KS campaign (minus Stronghold). So as of right now you can only buy the core game and the different faction expansion as individual boxes. But we hope to see a revised version of this box as the next three expansions are released.
How many weeks does it take to play this game?
Depends on what you're thinking of. For a single scenario 2 players is around 2 hours, same goes for solo. We don't have the experience for 3-4 player games, so can't give a valid time for that. If you're thinking of the whole campaign/campaigns it's quite hard to say. You have 5 mission books, with a total of 21 campaign missions, so given the average time we have experience until now, you're probably looking at around 42-50 hors of campaign.
Map, city boars, battleboard upgrade boards, okej this games playtime is like 2 weeks?
You're pretty close, it captures the original feeling of waiting 2 hours for the other players to take their turns 😛 All jokes a side the game playes pretty fluid and takes around two hours for 2 players, not using the battlefield expansion
I will most likely split the game up between the game I am playing and leave the rest of the components in the original box. The fact that you cannot sleeve the cards and store them in the box makes using a seperate box necessary.
There is a lot of components such as the miniatures which is not used unless you play clash or alliance. On the topic of sleeved cards, it is possible to store all the cards sleeved in the box, you just have to use sleeves of 60 microns or less. We have all ours sleeved with sleeve kings.
Man, I wish I had some friends.
We wish we had more time 😄
завидую тебе, белой завистью.
We understand, it is an amazing game.
Is this like an All In big box of the kickstarter Campaing?
When the KS campaign got its pledge manager launched, Archon Studio came out with an offer of either the individual boxes or one big box. Also the offered plan miniatures or pre-shaded miniatures.
impressive 😃😃😃😃
It is indeed
I still have all my copies and expansions of HOMM !!!
Amazing, most of us lost or sold our copies, when moving and settling as a family.
@@DadsGamingDK I still have my special editions of Aliens Vs Predator too!!
Soooooo, these guys can make all the artwork from scratch for some limited sales of a board game, but Ubisoft can't find the money to pay for a remake or even a proper remaster of the game and just upscales it...
Yeah seems odd, we know the guys at Archon spend a lot of time talking to Ubisoft to get permission to use the IP. Which then resulted in a rather successful KS campaign, maybe Ubisoft should try the same 😝😎
Спасибо за обзор, на мой взгляд игра в настольном варианте очень даже не плоха. С какой тщательностью выполнена игра, она однозначно достойно всякой похвалы!
Thanks for watching, we fully agree this is a beautiful and actually really good adaptation of the original game.
amazing!
Any idea where can I buy it from?
Thank you!
You can buy the game directly from Archon Studio archon-studio.com/shop/games-1/heroes-of-might-and-magic-iii/heroes-of-might-magic-iii-1 but the big box is not available at the moment. You might be lucky someone wants to sell their copy or a company have bought a couple of copies for resale.
There's absolutely no way sleeved cards will fit in that card holder.
We have tried different sleeves, and as also stated on the games FB group and Discord channel, a maximum of 60 micron sleeves can be used. We have successfully stored all the cards in the insert by using Sleeve Kings sleeves 63,5x88mm in 60 microns.
Just give me a PM if you want to play. I think that takes a couple of days to play. Great video.
How long it takes to play depends on the number of games you play before you fall asleep over the game 😄
@@DadsGamingDK That sounds like advanced civilization the board game. I fell a sleep watching 4 guys playing the game. :D
What's wrong with good old 386sx and hot seat?
Nothing, and it is still being played, there is a tournament coming up soon actually for original HoMM3
I got my testeterone levels going to 0 just by looking at the preview
Thanks for watching anyway
where did you get this ?
This edition is a special box that was offered as part of the KS pledge manager. But the individual boxes are available for pre order at Archon Studio or your local game store
I like your German sense of excitement... 🤣😉
Vielen dank 😝😃
I’m ready for the apocalypse now.
Erathia shall persist!!!
Looks nice.
Wanted to buy it, but the price was to high for me:)
Probably wouldn't have time (or find people) to play :D
It is an amazing looking game, and the price was fair compared to the size of the game and the amount of components. But again if you don't have the time to play it, then no game is worth the price.
@@DadsGamingDK oh for sure the price was right for the quality and quantity of the work :)
this is so cool
It is indeed 😎
Фигурки классные, жаль что не покрашены
They are, and yes they would like even more epic painted. The only option provided by Archon Studio was plain colored plastic as shown in this video or a pre-shaded version
@@DadsGamingDK мало детализации на фигурках, игра дорогая?
@@_nexagonit_76 This box with core game, battle expansion and all the available faction expansions was around 180$
How many days does it need to start playing??
Keep an eye on the channel and you're gonna find out 😝

@@DadsGamingDK thx, started watching yesterday. Make it today ti the end. You are making great job))
@@user-hg4nd4pv8x Thanks we're doing the best we can, but we're still learning with every single video.
Can we have a link where to get it?
or how to get it :(
You can order the game directly from Archon Studio archon-studio.com/shop/games-1/heroes-of-might-and-magic-iii/heroes-of-might-magic-iii-1 or else preorder it from your local game store.
I do not understand why there is no remake for this game. Everything can be as before with minor upgrades (graphics, artifacts, powers, creatures, castles etc). It would be great
They tried with their HD versions, but it was not done with the needed respect to the original, but agreed a actual remake, where everything stays as is would be awesome.
@@DadsGamingDK Did you try the Horn of the Abyss? I heard about this release but never found the official game
@@sergeydukman5832 We have heard of it, but never tried it.
Tree!? I am no tree, I am an ent 😅
Is it you Treebeard 😃
They are missing the Stronghold (orcs, cyclops, rocs, behemoths)
And Elemental Complex (elements, fey dragons)
Ye, they are working on Stronghold at the moment, and also last week confirmed Conflux, so only Forge is unknown at the moment.
@@DadsGamingDKhow about content from HoTA?
@@Excvositorum Cove is confirmed, and it is official coop of Archon, Ubisoft and Hota crew.
I know what I want for my birthday.
We totally understand that wish.
Zounds!
Glad you liked the video, it was also a blast for us seing all the content for the first time.
Еще бы навести камеру телефона на игровое поле, чтоб увидеть 3D анимацию.
You're absolutely right
There is a board game of this!?!?!?🎉🎉🎉
Yes there is and Archon Studio is still developing more factions to it. Lets go 💪💪
Such a big box, and not enough space for 100-micron sleeved cards?
Yeah, this is kind of a bummer. Hopefully they learn for future releases. On the upside we're seing some amazing custom inserts for both the individual boxes and the big box, which allow for premium sleeves.
how much is this set cost?
This box was around 180$
Is there a board game available in dnd style and based on this game universe?
As far as we know this is the only board game set in the Might and Magic universe. But maybe someone in the comments know of older board game adaptations.
This would be great as a computer game, as a board game i think its too advanced.
It is a fantastic computer game, and one of the absolute classics. As a boardgame it actually works out really well. It seems like Archon have striked out a really nice balance between being true to the source material, and still simplify enough to make it playable. If you wan't to see how it plays out, then check out our two playercClash video ruclips.net/video/uXDnwHFtWBk/видео.html
It's a shame they didn't include Stronghold
Stronghold is the next expansion, they even teased it in this box ruclips.net/user/shortskxYApr3sdo8?si=7xHjoBe2aJk1h_Aj
Is not possible to buy this big box anymore?
As of right now it is not possible to buy the big box unless you can find someone who wants to sell their copy. But we don't know wheter this will come on market later or maybe as a Con only item.
@@DadsGamingDK oh I see. Thank for quick reply. I would have loved to back this up but I didn't know about this campaign 😞 I hope it come to market even without the few extras. I have seen the base game is very very very basic in comparison....
@@nan_eol We're working on our review video, and the comparison of the base game compared to the full game, is one of the topics we discuss. A small teaser we on't agree with most of the other reviews when it comes to expansions.
OMG OMG OMG
Indeed ❤️❤️
Boardgames are getting massive do you honestly have time to complete them?
It depends a lot on the game, so an example of an even bigger game is Oathsworn, which we actually completed the first time in around 4 months. So if the gameplay is good and the game is fun, yes we complete it (and luckily most of our games are worth playing, the rest are in detention at the back of the cabinet)
Великая игра
Thanks
This looks epic as fuck though 😂 Even though you might never played it but it's a collectible.
It look amazing, both the box and the components. Luckily we already played in solo campaign and clash mode, Else it's hard to give an honest review.
How much does it cost?
This box was 180$ or 234€
@@DadsGamingDK thank you a lot!
This looks like it would take weeks to learn.
The rules is actually pretty straight forward, but to be honest the official rulebook is kind of a mess. Luckily the player community have made a revised version, which the developers at Archon Studio is looking into for an official updated version of the rules. Here is the link to the community rulebooks if interested github.com/Heegu-sama/Homm3BG
Where can i buy this?
The core game and battlefield expansion is on pre-order in most shops, and think the release date is in July 2024.
@@DadsGamingDK the way it is shown here won't exist? I assume each faction has its own set? very disappointing. Then I'll have to wait and see what happens. probably only in English at first?

I got mine. I sent an email to them to complain that their autographs ruined that black dragon picture. They should at least give another black dragon picture with no autographs. 🙂
We really loved the autographed picture, nice to have something a bit more unique as we have very little wall space to hang it on (Allowed to by wives) but yeah would have been nice with a plain version of the picture in addition
ух ты, вау!
Wow indeed, it is an amazing game!
price?
The big box has not gone into retail yet, so can't give an actual price for it. The KS campaign price was 180$ for the Big Box with Core Game, all Expansions an KS bonuses.
@@DadsGamingDK Thats not too bad.
@@DadsGamingDK Any info how can i found something about this box? Big game of my childhood!! I dont care about the price this box looks like a master piece.

@@imrelovei6874 So of right now this box is not available but the core game and at least the battlefield expansion is. We do know the studio is working on some of the "missing" factions, so maybe another complete edition will be available later.

The retail version is in pre-order right now and should come in stores this July as far as we know.
И сколько этот сундук будет стоить? Почку продавать? )))
You can keep you kidney, this box was sold for around 180$
too few models, this should be sprew city.
Well it has models for all the different creatures in the game, and most of them is nicely sculpted. Also the game doesn't really focus on the miniatures, they are mostly there for the full-out tactical combat experience brought in by the battlefield expansion.
The only Downside is, you need 3 people for transport.
Other than it's unhandy due to the volume it's actually ok to lift. 🏋
about 20 years too late or they could have made big bucks by releasing it back in the early 2000s
No doubt there was a much bigger player base back then, but it seems like a lot of people still remember the game and wants this adaptation for the nostalgia.
WANT
We definitely understand ❤❤
Looks pretty promising may even be as cool as warhammer pieces if painted. Shame Unisoft got the franchise and fucked it up. I own every single game of heroes series feels very sad when the series went downhill.
It is an Amazing looking game, though the miniatures are not as detailed as the ones Games Workshop produce for Warhammer. Yeah as we already wrote in another comment, HoMm3 is the last really good game in the series.
