PAULanthonyROMERO fantastic work! I have a question - were you inspired by the melody that can be found in Ingmar Bergman's "the seventh seal" from the flagellants march scene? :) ruclips.net/video/55_fSw0xxOs/видео.html Best regards
This melody was also used now in Westworld Season 3 Episode 5: (44:41) I'm sure Ramin Djawadi played Heroes 5 too:) (I guess he knows this melody from it)
@@dreadknight0 Problem actually seems to be that they did not put enough effort in to the sequels after this. So it became forgotten because they did not squeeze enough out of it. For some reason people simply did not want to but a subpar experience of the previous game. Weird huh? Personally I like some of the directions they were going with in 6. I like that the art direction was less cartoony. And there were some interesting aspect on gameplay. I really disliked them pushing in some dumb meta progressions that made it seem like you had to work to unlock stuff. Urgh...
I recently learned that the main motif of this track is known as "dies irae", which has been used for over 800 years to signify death in church symphonies. It has been used in various film soundtracks to underline death or unease. There's a fantastic video on this topic here on youtube. As soon as I learned about this, this amazing game and this specific song popped in my head after years of not thinking about it.
On the bright side, Ubisoft is reportedly hiring people to discuss making a new triple A might and magic game. Just hope that they manage to get it right like Heroes V.
@@orklord6568 I hope so too. I was disheartened when people kept asking if there's going to be more Heroes games but the only answers were "franchise is dead after M&M VIII botched it's sales".

This game blew my mind. I wanted HOMMIV because that was my first and i missed that game alot. The new strategies confused me because i didnt understand the skills, abilities, stats, hero combat vs unit combat, res management, growth vs upgrading, faction strats, etc.
Seems like good place to ask, does anyone know what's written on various swords throughout the game, for example Godric's sword and so on ? Thanks upfront if anyone answer. :)
For me this game is on the same level as HoMM3... so much epicness in the art and music - great gameplay and so much creativity... brings a tear to my eye thinking we will never get a masterpiece like this ever again...
Personally, I only played with Heroes 3(including AB, SoD, WoG -->I found so much fun in WoG), Heroes 5 (with both expansions), and now playing Heroes 6. I still have all of them on my PC and have already made all the campaigns at least once(with 3 and 6 once, with 5 like ~5 times and I just finished with 6) and I must say I fell in love with all of them. I don't know how you can easily say that this and this one piece of this gem is better than the others when all of them were so unique and different and enjoyable on its own, even though the fact that all has their mistakes, too. Just gotta love the series, peace
Despite the similar title of Dies irae, the lyrical segments are entirely from Roman Catholic responsory "Libera me" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libera_me ): (...) Dies illa, dies iræ, calamitatis et miseriæ (...) Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine (...) (background accompanying choir)
Matter of fact, that's a knight and, judging by the armor, he might be Godrik. I take it, you meant the guy on the ingame menu screen, not the one in the video.

@svacar "Dies illa Dies Irae Calamitatis et Miseriae" translates roughly as "this day of judgement and wrath will bring calamity and misery." It's part of a poem called Libera Me and can be found in the wiki.
While You are right about the circumstances of when the song would be performed, the title's translation, from latin, is 'Day of wrath' or 'Ire Day', if You may
Best Song in the 2nd to best Might and Magic game ever... Loved this franchise but VI was a minor letdown (Except for the music!) and VII was a tragedy.
The lyrics go: "Dies illa, dies irae, calamitatis et miseriae Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, dona eis Domine" from 2:08 it's the second line in the background, while the main voices (male and female) in the foreground repeat the first line (without 'calamitatis et miseriae', just 'dies illa, dies irae') in some 'crisscross' manner...
If by stolen you are referring to the vocal part of the song then the answer is no, its not stolen. At least not stolen from Liszt, it's originally performed by Gregorian chant, song title Dies Irae (Days of Wrath), it goes way back into the 13th century.
yes i have heard of those games and played most of them but still i like HoMM series.. don´t get me wrong because i like all the games you mentioned but HoMM series are the ones still likr the most :D
Heroes V are developed by a Russian developer team, Nival Entertainment (they took some style from Etherlords). My favorite heroes, though Heroes of M&M 3 is kinda better (well, it's perfect). These are definitely WAY better than the 4th part. It's the same universe as Might&Magic games but it is still a TBS.
Dies illa, dies irae, calamitatis et miseriae, That day, the day of anger, of calamity, of misery, Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine Eternal rest grant them, o Lord
i have heroes 4,5 and 6 and deem i still play those because they are so good so much beter then those shooting games😄 i have played almost 7 years, its so funny that i cant beat my dad in heroes 4 i have try so many times but hes so good in h4 like holy shiiiit 😂
@Bertj852 you're damn right about the translation, but i'm not really sure that they have the proper intonation, cuz u know i've studied Latin and know a thing or two:P
I remember staying on the main menu for this song and to see that Inquistor battling the Archdevil, good times.

"Dies illa Dies Irae Calamitatis et Miseriae" translates roughly as "this day of judgement and wrath will bring calamity and misery."
It's part of a poem called Libera Me and can be found in the wiki.
The song is actually called "Líbera Me", or, "Deliver Me", sung at at the absolution of the dead, right before the burial of someone.
While You are right about the circumstances of when the song would be performed, the title's translation, from latin, is 'Day of wrath' or 'Ire Day', if You may
Heroes of might and magic is not only the first turn based strategy game, it is the best:D
Play this at my funerals.
are you planning to have more than one?
It is actauuyl a piece played at funerals in the Medieval times :D
if someone is wondering what the chanting in the background is, it is:
