This game's music is the reason why I decided to become a music composer. I wish to become, one day, as good as Paul Anthony Romero. I owe him a lot, his music is my main source of inspiration (With Joe Hisaichi's). I play this game since I was a kid, and I ever will. Everything is so cool about it. Maybe I'm too emotional and certainly not objective, but it doesn't matter ;)
+Michael Ghelfi You are very talentful! I wish you all the luck in the future.... And I don´t think you´re too emotional, because I have it exactly the same way haha (Except that I can´t play anythng :P)
U described it well. It's amazing how music like this can awaken right feelings that u are suppose to feel. Just close your eyes and u will feel it. Paul Anthony Romero is a pure genius.
Best game ever created. So many memories, hours spent, sleepless nights and meetings with friends. This game has over 20 years and still has many fans all over the world. Greetings from Poland. Tower rules btw.
The nostalgia is strong here. I remember that i used to stop playing just to listen to the music. Or chose a town solely for their music. Games are not made with so much love now days.
+Hell is Sane 100% accurate comment. Real orchestra behind though, it's not the case of actual games, which use virtual orchestras. Virtual orchestras gives more freedom to the composer (and cost 1000 times less), but has less depth as well. (Video game music composer here).
+K_The_M Mhhhh, he possibly used a synthetizer for a few extra sounds, but when I look at his impressive classical music background, I doubt he did it for the towns themes. Especially according to the fact that the game was released in 1999, when the audio libraries were rare and had a terrible quality. I might be wrong though.^^
+Hell is Sane I agree! I remember going to specific castles and towns just to listen to this music too haha. Such good soundtracks in the Heroes of Might & Magic games (I used to have the Heroes of Might & Magic II Expansion Pack for the PC) I'd play it for hours back in the early 90's when I was a child. Is the third one even before than the second does anyone know as I would consider getting this game? :-)
Fortress :- Sneaky, cryptic music with sudden flashes of emergency. Intended to warn you of the ambushes that happen in the swamp. Plays when an unfortunate person is taken to a Hydra for sacrifice! Stronghold: - Epic music that plays when a war hero enters an arena, turns his face to the sun to call upon Krom, and readies his sword to face an Ancient Behemoth in hand to hand combat! Ending symbolises the victory of barbarian determination and strength over the power of the beast! Dungeon: - No nonsense, creepy music that plays when you are taken to meet the mastermind collect your reward for a job well done. In the way you meet lot of carnivorous plants, ugly beholders and slithering medusas who all stalk you to ensure your behaviour until you finally get to meet the Overlord with his pet Black Dragon in the inner sanctum! Necropolis: - Scary music that plays when you are walking through a graveyard to meet the lord and master of the dead. Seeing the death and desolation all around you forces you to contemplate the mysteries of life and constantly be on your guard until you meet the Master Necromancer himself riding his favoured Ghost Dragon and surrounded by his fearless Dread Knights and evil geniuses of the Liches. Ending really tells you that you don't have anything to live for and you should give your soul to the Dead. Inferno: - The swirling pits of HEll with boiling waters, tortured souls and hideous monsters. Demons bathing in lava and screaming maniacally to scare you into submission of the evil masters of the vice, the Devils. This music is truly the song that plays the end of the world....Armageddon at last! Tower: - Order dominates Chaos, Knowledge overcomes all barriers, patience and industry overcome all! Magical bursts of energy and mechanical workings of the gremlins all sounding together to kick chaos's ass! Peace finally settles in when you see your work in a beautiful surroundings of snow and crystal! Rampart:- The song of the Vedas, the ancients and the meditation of the perfect hermits. Life dominates death, patience and compassion but with a sword in hand will win in the end. Goodness has to be accepted because over the soft hands of the Hermits, lies the power of the gigantic gold dragon's sulfurous breath! Castle: -Justice and Strength! Marching through lines of Pikemen and Archers, we see the strenght of the army of the king. Always ready to punish the wickedoers and bless the righteous! Softness chimes in with the sisters and healing monks while the final ending symbolizes the glorious charge of the Champions and Archangels!
"..and readies his sword to face an Ancient Behemoth in hand to hand combat!". Who is the fool try to face an Ancient Behemoth in hand to hand combat? He will be waited at the hall of valhalla then.
When you play the game as a kid you don't even notice the music, but you know all the tunes. But hearing it now as an adult, these epic and beautiful music compositions opens my soul and my childhood memories reveals themselves before me. Nostalgic, beautiful and impressive. The gaming experiences I had as a kid are fantastic memories I will have for the rest of my life.
А ведь, казалось бы, все эти города - лишь двумерные картинки, но до чего они живые! Словно смотришь в волшебный кукольный ящик, где все живет своим чередом! Всегда мечтал быть художником, жаль что моя мечта не сбылась. Ради искусства создания таких дышащих жизнью картинок действительно стоит полжизни отдать!
I’m 29 now, been playing Heroes III since I was at least 8, and I easily have about 1,000 hours or more logged in this game. I still play it about every week on GOG. And I still have the discs.
Помню как в 4-5 лет смотрел за своим отцом на первой нашей даче, вечерами он сидел за столом проводя пару часов в этой игре, обожал его голос, истории, рассказы, ну а тут целая игра! ЦЕЛАЯ ИГРА! Про которую он может рассказать, если ты сядешь рядом с ним. Так с ним я провёл около недели вечеров и мне предложили сыграть свою первую игру; за ней последовала вторая- третья, дальше и дальше. Спустя пару недель я, поднабравшись опыта стал интересным оппонентом для своего папы, для него началось интересное противостояние, а у меня зависимость от этой игры) Каждый вечер, когда меня укладывали спать, я вспоминал музыку замка за который я играл и крутил у себя в голове различные его виды, его (ведь музыка отсюда очень хорошо помогала моему воображению тогда(да и сейчас тоже)) воинов, представлял боёвку персонажей, пейзажи оттуда, да и в целом любил пофантазировать на тему игры, пока нахожусь в обычном мире. Так у меня прошла где-то треть лета, пока я снова не уехал к себе в город и не увёз с собой прекрасное воспоминание со своим отцом, любимой игрой и начавшейся любовью к классической (если можно так её назвать) музыке
Ok , real talk: I'm listening to this while I'm pretty drunk and these songs just make me so happy... Thank you Paul Romero for creating not just this, but so many iconic songs. Bless your incredibly creative soul. Words can not describe how grateful I am for these songs to be an important part of my childhood
It was the castle town music in the demo back in 1999. Played the eff outta it, then learnt that this actually belongs to the Barbarian town. Was such a letdown :)
kohorta4ewer I love dungeon aswell, I always had some love for some of the worse towns aswell like Fortress and tower. But dungeon is no doubt my favorite. If one feel like win easy necropolis and conflux is the towns of choise though. I remember them often being banned when playing online.
mean berry Yeah, sure, I mean, played Conflux not long ago, Phoenix production is 4 every week. 4!! Every other is only 2 if I remember correctly + they are cheap
They are re-releasing it soon, reskinned with more details :D might-and-magic.ubi.com/universe/en-GB/games/all-games/might-and-magic-heroes-3-hd/index.aspx
There is not a single one lacking. I really am astounded at the fact that every single one is so perfect and represents their respective towns so perfectly. Even Cove, that was created so much later!
Loved the inferno theme, there is a flicker of magic among the river of lava and monsters. Tower - you can almost feel the snow flakes falling on the glistening magical crystals. Necropolis is also a master piece - when I was a child this sends chills down my spine! (With a beautiful serene finish at 9:25, probably symbolising serenity of death)
One of my top 5 games of all time. It's like an epic board game the way it plays. The music is second to none, and I've never had so much fun with a map editor.

+dokanyon Goddamn man, I think the same thing! For example rampart it's phenomenal, really fit with elf/unicorn theme, with that flute and calm melody. What an amazing soundtrack. I really love Fortress theme, how explode the music in some point.
Almost 20 years have passed since I was introduced to this Game... I was like 7 years old playing on my old Intel Pentium 2, I remember it was a cold winter, school was canceled due to heavy snow fall , and my brother installed this game, i got a chance to play with TOWER.... The moment I started playing this game lifes mysteries started coming, the Obelisks, the Good vs Evil philosophy of living,... The way the hero explored the map, uncovering great mysteries.... From that moment on, my life philosophy was to travel, explore the world, listening to oriental music, exploring various cultures... 20 YEARS later, today I am succesfull young Lawyer, with 40 countries 3 continents 10 seas and 3 oceans visited... Be a hero of your own life ... Cheers from Europe :) :)
The Necropolis theme is such a master piece! The end of it makes you believe even dead people used to have treasuable moments. When it closes to the end, it suddenly depicts lifeless no more, but also reminds people that they were mortal too. Maybe a lich persued ultimate magic power and scrificed all the time with his beloved one.The end brings out his regret. Or a skeleton being summoned fights against someone he didnt even know in his life, but one moment he saw a familiar face of another undead. He knows that they were companions in the last advanture when they were alive. Then, the end paints the melancholy of a lost soul.
Did anyone else notice the Dies Irae counter-melody playing in the Necropolis theme? I'm still amazed at how intricate this soundtrack was for its time. Even now! There are times when the music sounds like it was composed by Stravinsky.
Fortress: "Let us live peaceful in our swamps, or you will pay with your life, tasting the power of poison and venom burning your blood... you are adviced... get out of here and nobody will be hurt" Stronghold: "We are a strong and passionate community that cooperate with the other and live in the great mountains... always together fighting for the ours. Our hearts are filled by bravery and we will do everything to defend our nation" Dungeon: "We are horrible for the others... But we can't see nothing under earth, so... what does horrible mean for you?" Necropolis: "Don't worry... you are already dead, nothing will happen... it is just the end, that is all... death is cold... but nobody cares what you feel... it is scarying, i know... but someday you will accept it" Inferno: "You will feel what pain really is... do you see this?? it's nothing but a very big chain to put in your feet like a slave. You will be here forever... oh look at this, a burning iron bar... let's start with the funniest part..." Tower: "Fantasy is our main word!! Mystic, intelligence, we are fantastic creatures in a magic world! Disney looks so small, isn't it? Feel the knowledge of a powerful wonderland" Rampart: "Welcome to our place, where you will feel confortable forever. Feel the nature and peace in your heart, and enjoy it with all of us. We will help you whenever you need, and nobody will interrupt our quite life" Castle: "We are humans. We are you. And you know it, cause you are reading this... and yes, we are good... but only if you do your best. We are one, you and me. Let's go!"
I like how the good and evil factions are reflections of each other: Castle: A grand and beautiful landscape that inspires hope. Inferno: A sinister and forsaken wasteland that seeds despair. Rampart: A vibrant forest glen that teems with life. Necropolis: A cold, desolate valley that is surrounded by death. Tower: A sanctuary for the wise high up on the white mountains where the sun always shine. Dungeon: A refuge for the wretched down below in the dark caves where no light can shine. Of course, that’s not including the neutral factions: Stronghold, Fortress, and Conflux.
@@patinho5589 not a specific one. It's an old medieval hymn which main theme has been used by thousand other composers throughout history until this date.
I love all of these themes equally, theyre pure masterpieces. Fortress is just amazing though, with the intensity it builds up. You dont see that kind of composing in videogames anymore :(
Fortress is good early-game. They all have high defence, and nearly each creature has some effect to it. The dragon flies cast weakness and dispel, Basilisks petrify, Mighty Gorgons can kill extra units, Wyvern Monarchs can poison units, and the chaos hydra is a ramped up version of the Cerberus.
Adam Williams dragon flies are also insane fast, makes sure fortress heroes get the jump on others with their spells. Now if only they were good at spells...
ТО чувство, когда батя привез тебе диск с игрой, пахнущий свежей лицензионной краской, ты закачиваешь игру в комп на шумящем резаке-сидюке? и эта божественная пилорама дарит тебе незабвенные вечера
Once upon a time, I memorized the Conflux music. Once upon a time, I played this game every day. Once upon a time, I got at least 100 of all creatures and won the game. Once upon a time, this was all in elementary school
Once upon a time, in early secondary school, while the other kids were playing ball over recess, I would run outside in the courtyard and play pretend prancing around on my horse picking up treasure, resources and fighting epic battles. Happened many more times than once.
wow... just WOW, all these town themes LITERALLY gave me goosebumps !! I just cant describe the AMAZING feeling I get from such GREAT ART !! BRAVO PAUL ANTHONY ROMERO !!!!
Thank you Heroes 3. You made my childhood VERY VERY COLORFUL. I get cried to listening Stronghold's music. The best. Thank you for the childhood Heroes 3!
Good old times when life was simple and full of joy. We run from school to friend´s house and play this epic game for hours. Great game, memories, friendship, btw Castle rules :))))
I can't believe how people aren't commenting about Stronghold, it may not have been my favourite faction but the theme song is just the best hands down.
I loved the "City management" in this game. The music really sets the tone for the different citites. I remember leaving the computer running while I did other things just to hear the great music in the background. ❤
I've been playing too much DnD recently and thought about this: Lawful Good - Castle Neutral Good - Rampart Chaotic Good - Stronghold Lawful Neutral - Tower True Neutral - Conflux Chaotic Neutral - Fortress Lawful Evil - Dungeon Neutral Evil - Inferno Chaotic Evil - Necropolis
Technically tower is a good aligned town and Stronghold is neutral, so I would make Castle chaotic good, Tower lawful good, stronghold chaotic neutral, fortress true neutral and conflux lawful neutral but otherwise I agree with you!
Great comment of you and very accurate. I would just change places between necropolis and inferno..the dead have to play by rules in the world of the living right? While inferno wants to destroy everyone and everything. I comment with respect and to discuss no bad intentions🙏
Same!! As a child I was always watching my dad play, the necropolis always scared me!! (And one day i heard the beautiful finish at the end and fell in love with the music)
The Necropolis theme is very interesting and awesome! Music makes me think about a group of skeletons leading me to their town and introducing places, but in the end they go insane and start to dance with some unexplainable moves..
I'm playing this game at the moment on necropolis - Shit load of Dread knights, lots of vampire lords and they heal theirselves all the time. No ghost dragons because they look stupid :D Loads of zombies, skeletons and liches too
Thank you for uploading a piece of nostalgia from one of the greatest games ever created! I have very fond memories of my Nan , my dad and my brother and I playing this game in my childhood years. I miss those good old days, I will cherish them forever.

AAAAAAA *yes*
This game's music is the reason why I decided to become a music composer. I wish to become, one day, as good as Paul Anthony Romero. I owe him a lot, his music is my main source of inspiration (With Joe Hisaichi's).
I play this game since I was a kid, and I ever will. Everything is so cool about it. Maybe I'm too emotional and certainly not objective, but it doesn't matter ;)

+Suppaz +Frederic Gates Thanks so much! Your comments really mean a lot to me. Thanks for subscribing as well, you can except new songs frequently!
All of these themes are mini-masterpieces in their own right. The each exude the atmosphere perfectly.
oh yeah, bro
Absolutely
Even if I stretch it really hard to pick 3 favorites,
it's still ALL OF THEM.
@@tehokotkat For sure! Me personally are the Fortress, Tower, and Rampart
Fortress theme - Mysterious, Chaotic
Stronghold theme - Harsh Conditions, Mighty
Dungeon theme - Forgotten, Dangerous
Necropolis theme - Death, Horrific
Inferno theme - Evil, Pain
Tower theme - Intelligence, Innovation
Rampart theme - Peaceful, Wild
Castle theme - Order, Militaristic
Conflux theme - Unforgiving, Unknown
And then there's Cove...
@@Shinkaizen Yeah, Cove - Deceptive, Cunning
U described it well. It's amazing how music like this can awaken right feelings that u are suppose to feel. Just close your eyes and u will feel it. Paul Anthony Romero is a pure genius.
Don't forget Forge.
Also I disagree on the descriptive of Necropolis.
More mysterious I find it to be than horrific.
Brilliant!
Best game ever created. So many memories, hours spent, sleepless nights and meetings with friends. This game has over 20 years and still has many fans all over the world. Greetings from Poland. Tower rules btw.

PS. I'm from Poland too.
Same 💕
Некрополис вертел всех и всегда, а вечная неделя беса (импа) - лучший подарок войску предвечной невесты!
I'm playing this game also since the late 90. And I still love it to this day, especially tower

Stronghold theme
It is easily the most impactfull and emotional theme of them all!

I'm a Necromancer player through and through, but I agree that Stronghold and Rampart are the two best tracks for all the towns. :)

So powerful, so timeless, I personally can never get tired of these masterpieces.
This is the greatest fantasy strategy game ever!
It's so magical, inspiring, epic, strategically sound!
Incredible!
Almost 20 years have passed since I was introduced to this Game... I was like 7 years old playing on my old Intel Pentium 2, I remember it was a cold winter, school was canceled due to heavy snow fall , and my brother installed this game, i got a chance to play with TOWER.... The moment I started playing this game lifes mysteries started coming, the Obelisks, the Good vs Evil philosophy of living,... The way the hero explored the map, uncovering great mysteries.... From that moment on, my life philosophy was to travel, explore the world, listening to oriental music, exploring various cultures... 20 YEARS later, today I am succesfull young Lawyer, with 40 countries 3 continents 10 seas and 3 oceans visited...
Be a hero of your own life ...

Do you remember your first defeat, when the horrific execution scene came? 😂
The Necropolis theme is such a master piece! The end of it makes you believe even dead people used to have treasuable moments. When it closes to the end, it suddenly depicts lifeless no more, but also reminds people that they were mortal too. Maybe a lich persued ultimate magic power and scrificed all the time with his beloved one.The end brings out his regret. Or a skeleton being summoned fights against someone he didnt even know in his life, but one moment he saw a familiar face of another undead. He knows that they were companions in the last advanture when they were alive. Then, the end paints the melancholy of a lost soul.
Beautifully said.

That's just Dies irae. Look into it and be welcome.

thanks for watching
@@naitsirk32 cheers
That Stronghold music. Chills every time I hear it.
Did anyone else notice the Dies Irae counter-melody playing in the Necropolis theme? I'm still amazed at how intricate this soundtrack was for its time. Even now! There are times when the music sounds like it was composed by Stravinsky.
i love rampart music
Dies irae you say, then check this out ruclips.net/video/u7VMEW2MByo/видео.html
All towns with Grail structures, nice touch!
My personal favorite is Tower. So airy, so wintery, so fitting. Beautiful!
How I miss olden days when I was young and played countlessly lot hours with this masterpiece.
Stronghold's music, is definitely the best sound track of all towns !
And tower ! ^^
All themes !!!
Fortress: "Let us live peaceful in our swamps, or you will pay with your life, tasting the power of poison and venom burning your blood... you are adviced... get out of here and nobody will be hurt"
Stronghold: "We are a strong and passionate community that cooperate with the other and live in the great mountains... always together fighting for the ours. Our hearts are filled by bravery and we will do everything to defend our nation"
Dungeon: "We are horrible for the others... But we can't see nothing under earth, so... what does horrible mean for you?"
Necropolis: "Don't worry... you are already dead, nothing will happen... it is just the end, that is all... death is cold... but nobody cares what you feel... it is scarying, i know... but someday you will accept it"
Inferno: "You will feel what pain really is... do you see this?? it's nothing but a very big chain to put in your feet like a slave. You will be here forever... oh look at this, a burning iron bar... let's start with the funniest part..."
Tower: "Fantasy is our main word!! Mystic, intelligence, we are fantastic creatures in a magic world! Disney looks so small, isn't it? Feel the knowledge of a powerful wonderland"
Rampart: "Welcome to our place, where you will feel confortable forever. Feel the nature and peace in your heart, and enjoy it with all of us. We will help you whenever you need, and nobody will interrupt our quite life"
Castle: "We are humans. We are you. And you know it, cause you are reading this... and yes, we are good... but only if you do your best. We are one, you and me. Let's go!"
Conflux?
Wtf xd
Best game music in history.
Thank you Paul Anthony for unforgettable gaming memories!
best game ever !!! sound, music, gameplay ... THA BEST
I like how the good and evil factions are reflections of each other:
Castle: A grand and beautiful landscape that inspires hope.
Inferno: A sinister and forsaken wasteland that seeds despair.
Rampart: A vibrant forest glen that teems with life.
Necropolis: A cold, desolate valley that is surrounded by death.
Tower: A sanctuary for the wise high up on the white mountains where the sun always shine.
Dungeon: A refuge for the wretched down below in the dark caves where no light can shine.
Of course, that’s not including the neutral factions: Stronghold, Fortress, and Conflux.
I can't count how many times I heard it throughout the years, but the Fortress theme still gives me goosbumps.
im 24 now,and im about to cry to this.
the good time ;)
Soundtrack of my childhood. It was a good childhood.
I AM 40 years old and still love this game so much, music is just universal and incredible, I always have shivers when I listen IT💓💓💓💓💓💓💓😍😍😍😍
This is what created the awesome athmosphere!!
02:20 Stronghold the best music)
best music for you**
For me too it's by far the best music, a real EPIC soundtrack ! Remembers me of Conan the barbarian !
I am skipping it. Best is fortress, then necropolis.
Confirm :)
mrwombator yeeeea fortress is the best
I wish they made a movie about this game! Imagine all the epic battles 😳
The last notes of necropolis town revealed all it's melancolia 💔
Last notes in Necropolis feels like: "You died... R.I.P"
The whole theme is actually based on the "dies irae" motif.
Melancholy*
@@MagierMondMax which dies irae? From which composer?
@@patinho5589 not a specific one. It's an old medieval hymn which main theme has been used by thousand other composers throughout history until this date.
To think about it. This game is soo old but is still like the soundtrack and listen to it and play the game itself. A true masterpiece !
+Chamelion Miller P.S. I loved the other HOMM games but they somehow lacked the "soul" of HOMM 3.
+Chamelion Miller I liked HOMM 2 almost as much.
The composer deserve an Oscar. He/she delivered the feel perfectly for every town
Najlepsze wspomnienia z dzieciństwa, aż się łezka w oku kręci...
I love all of these themes equally, theyre pure masterpieces. Fortress is just amazing though, with the intensity it builds up.
You dont see that kind of composing in videogames anymore :(
Totally nostalgic bullshit.
Or maybe you dont play modern games.
Fortress is good early-game. They all have high defence, and nearly each creature has some effect to it. The dragon flies cast weakness and dispel, Basilisks petrify, Mighty Gorgons can kill extra units, Wyvern Monarchs can poison units, and the chaos hydra is a ramped up version of the Cerberus.
Adam Williams dragon flies are also insane fast, makes sure fortress heroes get the jump on others with their spells. Now if only they were good at spells...
They're fast, but don't deal too much damage. They're essentially a weaker version of a Phoenix or Thunderbird.
HOM&M3... Just the best video game music i've ever heard since all this years
i'm crying! this is so beautiful... I had such a great time playing this game!
ТО чувство, когда батя привез тебе диск с игрой, пахнущий свежей лицензионной краской, ты закачиваешь игру в комп на шумящем резаке-сидюке? и эта божественная пилорама дарит тебе незабвенные вечера
А мне Батя запрещал играть, поэтому диск с Героями я спиздил с компьютерного клуба и играл дома по ночам 😄
Once upon a time, I memorized the Conflux music.
Once upon a time, I played this game every day.
Once upon a time, I got at least 100 of all creatures and won the game.
Once upon a time, this was all in elementary school
Wise words
Once upon a time, in early secondary school, while the other kids were playing ball over recess, I would run outside in the courtyard and play pretend prancing around on my horse picking up treasure, resources and fighting epic battles.
Happened many more times than once.
Ofc it was in elementary school Conflux teaches in it's university about the elements. :))
This game made my childhood :3. Right now redownloading the game xD
25 years later its stull brilliant. And in another 25 years, it still will be.
This game will always stood up in the test of time..forever
im suprised how not a single comment is about tower as the favourite. that music is a masterpiece and those titans + nagas are freaking awesome
I love tower aswell for cuddlefactor when playing easyer levels, but unforunaly I find it to be one of the worse town.
Tower is good for magic casters. They're too slow, though. The Dungeon and Castle are my personal preferences.
Khealim Inferno and castle is the shit bro
lexxisful Inferno was objectively speaking the weakest faction if I remember right.
Adam Williams Mass haste would fix the problem.
1. Necropolis
2. Inferno
3. Rampart
wow... just WOW, all these town themes LITERALLY gave me goosebumps !! I just cant describe the AMAZING feeling I get from such GREAT ART !! BRAVO PAUL ANTHONY ROMERO !!!!
The memory of my childhood gives me gooesbomps.every time i play this game i remember.something special there!!
музыка моего детства, прям тепло-тепло на душе.
I absolutely loved this game - as for me, Necro Town
The first few notes of the first song hit me by surprise and touched me so much that I started to tear up. Thank you for this masterpiece.
Stronghold and Rampart are my favourite tunes from this game. :)
Best music is Fortress and Dungeon by far i still hear them in my sleep :D
Just one more round...
Next minute I glanced down at my watch (no cell in 1999) and its 2:00am
Thank you Heroes 3. You made my childhood VERY VERY COLORFUL. I get cried to listening Stronghold's music. The best. Thank you for the childhood Heroes 3!
Inferno may be trash, but it has amazing music.
Doctor:You have just 23 minuntes to live
Me:Heroes of Might and Magic 3 ALL Town Themes
Necropolis quoted Liszt's most famous melody for death which makes it even better!
When i played the knight and entered my castle, the music made me feel safe
12:25 Аж всплакнул замечательная композиция
I've spent hunderds of hours on this game and still play it.
"That's rookie numbers" 😏
Good old times when life was simple and full of joy. We run from school to friend´s house and play this epic game for hours. Great game, memories, friendship, btw Castle rules :))))
Favorite Towns are Castle and Rampart. But considering music, Fortress and Stronghold.
Jurica Kovačević Murlocks & Lizardwarriors! - Orcs & Goblins!
+Jurica Kovačević Yes, yes and more YES
+Vrenusdeathstar 45, gief Murlocs in WoW or Nagas, ffs why didnt blizzard add more races into WoW instead of fucked up classes
+Elchupanibres Lmao what
+Vrenusdeathstar 45 just Went a Little WoW-mode i wished they had added murloc
agas to the game as playable race
So many good memories. This was one of the top games of my childhood. Still playing it and still loving every Minute of it.
I can't believe how people aren't commenting about Stronghold, it may not have been my favourite faction but the theme song is just the best hands down.
Visiškai sutinku!
I loved the "City management" in this game. The music really sets the tone for the different citites. I remember leaving the computer running while I did other things just to hear the great music in the background. ❤
same with full intro on Turrican II on atari 1040 STE back in the days ^^
Every single one is epic.
Пол Ромеро гений. Потрясающе, сколько людей в России и СНГ очарованы его талантом.
Sleepless times and still will be!
I remember playing it until 5am, and wake up early morning to play again, the good old days
9:23 the best part is when the necropolis ends the symphony is so awesome !!! ♥
I've been playing too much DnD recently and thought about this:
Lawful Good - Castle
Neutral Good - Rampart
Chaotic Good - Stronghold
Lawful Neutral - Tower
True Neutral - Conflux
Chaotic Neutral - Fortress
Lawful Evil - Dungeon
Neutral Evil - Inferno
Chaotic Evil - Necropolis
Technically tower is a good aligned town and Stronghold is neutral, so I would make Castle chaotic good, Tower lawful good, stronghold chaotic neutral, fortress true neutral and conflux lawful neutral but otherwise I agree with you!
I'd go a little differently:
Castle = Lawful Good
Rampart = Neutral Good
Tower = Chaotic Good
Fortress = Lawful Neutral
Conflux = True Neutral
Stronghold = Chaotic Neutral
Necropolis = Lawful Evil
Dungeon = Neutral Evil
Inferno = Chaotic Evil
You know what, that is kinda true. They really match!
Great comment of you and very accurate. I would just change places between necropolis and inferno..the dead have to play by rules in the world of the living right? While inferno wants to destroy everyone and everything. I comment with respect and to discuss no bad intentions🙏
Upgrading a town was one of the most satisfying things ever...
Playing a fully upgraded Inferno or Tower was unreasonably fun
Brings back so many memories.... Fortress
I could listen to this all day.. its that peaceful
Thank you for this awesome video. A great tribute to an amazing game
Back when this came out, I was 7. The Necropolis theme scared me so bad as a kid. If I ever had to enter a Necropolis town, I turned off the volume.
OMG SAMEEEEE, I WAS SO SCARED WHEN MY MOM'S EX BF PLAYED WITH NECROPOLIS 😭😭
Y'all so stupid lol, when i was a kid i was far more intellectual than you all
Hahahaha this is so pure 😂
Same!! As a child I was always watching my dad play, the necropolis always scared me!! (And one day i heard the beautiful finish at the end and fell in love with the music)
I was scared of losing, since there was this horrific game over scene. 😂
The Necropolis theme is very interesting and awesome! Music makes me think about a group of skeletons leading me to their town and introducing places, but in the end they go insane and start to dance with some unexplainable moves..
I'm playing this game at the moment on necropolis - Shit load of Dread knights, lots of vampire lords and they heal theirselves all the time. No ghost dragons because they look stupid :D Loads of zombies, skeletons and liches too
***** Battle moin Dragons armada I lack the red dragon thou but still!
HMM III, Shadow of death is my childhood. The gameplay, the fantasy, the music, the magic,...all is just wonderful.
Oh, that necropolis
One_love 🐾
Thank you for uploading a piece of nostalgia from one of the greatest games ever created!
I have very fond memories of my Nan , my dad and my brother and I playing this game in my childhood years. I miss those good old days, I will cherish them forever.
Just Tower Town
The soundtrack is so perfect for every Town each.... The most perfect game i ever played and playing today
