I always like the sprites in homm 2 and those multi colored trees. The music in this game was so good. Homm 3 might have been better but homm 2 was right near it.
Same! I don't know why, but there's just something about the art aesthetic of HoMM 2 (from the towns to the maps to the units) that just feels SO much more unique and special compared to the art styles of later games. HoMM 3 is definitely a lot more interesting/fun from a strategic and gameplay perspective, but HoMM 2 will always hold a special place in my heart.
@@Zaxares Homm2 I thought was much better, Homm 3 felt like choice didn't matter nearly as much with every creature having an upgrade very similar power levels, resources etc. It felt like all towns in 3 more or less play the same. More strategies can be used undeniably in 3 but the towns don't feel too different mechanic wise. Plus the art style and theme in Homm2 make so much more sense to me, Warlock is mythological monsters and hybrids, Sorceress is Celtic/German folklore fey, Wizard clearly Tolkien inspired etc. Homm2 art Style is beautiful and crisp with its contrast even to this day.
I never played this game or even listened to the original. But I knew this track via NWC which is all midi. Only today I was revisiting NWC and this theme and wondered what the original sounded like. I was surprised that it sounds almost exactly the same.
@@ahellicopter1396 True, a chicken move to be sure. However, it is after all more tolling on their own resources given that a hero costs 2500 gold, which is usually more than the damages incurred by a lightning bolt / cold ray etc. That being said, I agree 100%.
Legendary theme.
So true bro💪
Paul Anthony Romero made this game immortal with his work.
Sir P.A. Romero is a true genius and mastermind.
For anyone who is curious, the bird chirping throughout the song is a warbling vireo, a songbird native to North America.
Information?
@streamx3m in midwestern america we have the common loon. Give it a listen if you haven't, it's haunting.
It's warble, not warbling.
@@fcuk_x Sorry, but no. Look it up.
Comment that I had not expected...
This music will never leave you once you've heard it, even 24 years later. I still remember my epic campaigns in HOMMII, such a classic.
@@OfficerHotpants TRUTH! Hahaha
So true
roland...for campaign titan...hihi
Thanks for this comment, as lyrical as the song.
Glad im not the only one that has this theme stuck in my head for 25+ years. My mind just randomly plays it for me sometimes
I cried when the music started. What a memory.
I want to cry and I didn't even play Heroes 2. Only heard remake of this music in heroes 6
Such a beautiful piece of music, I recorded it off the CD onto a cassette
I searched for this because I randomly started crying when it played in my head
The best homm soundtrack ever, that's why they kept using it on future releases.
Me wondering where the last 25 years have gone.
This is the song of life!
Goosebumps! Every. single. time...

Did you heard about homm3: The succession wars project?
@@teddyjerk777 Ah yes, the mod that freezes my PC and forces me to restart it.
the best music homm 2

We all listened to this for uninterrupted stretches of 10 hours, and it never got old.
This is from heaven
can't image homam ii without this grass-theme. it is the face of homam ii. the beautiful face
Да, эта тема, несомненно, прекрасна, но мне очень нравится снежная тема.
Really love how this track and Heroes V's grass theme returned in VI.
I KNEW IT !!! I have heard it somewhere recently, I knew it sounded familiar to sth!!!
Sometimes i come back here.
We all do, Iggy.
We are always back for lands, where the grass was green (
@@Anthony-rq2dn And oh how green it used to be.
I came back here once and got so wistful a few years back. Then I got a new laptop and went to Gog. Now I’m playing again in 2020.
Magic feelings aren’t they
My childhood
god damn this takes me back
I found it! Thank you for posting, I have been searching for years!
LOL.

Real classic!

Hey hey people.
Zero dislikes! Damn, you good!
Sir, extreme measures would have been issued...
theres one damn dislike now
@@ahellicopter1396 why do you put a number around the word "dislike"? those don't go together at all!
Thank you for the extended version. However, I wish the pause in between loops was the same amount of time as in-game. Seems rushed, the way it is.
preach!
For a longer pause, you can just look at a non-extended version and put it on a loop by right-clicking.
the 1 dislike are the annyoing retreating ai
Haha, you mean the AI who will go into battle, cast lightning bolt, and then flee, I take it? Damn right.
@@taggebagge yep its pretty annoying when they hit and run esepcially on your recoures

HHAHAA. Can't believe it. Who taught us to be chicken since boy?
@@taggebagge Armageddon spell, on the other hand...
This is a map from compaign called Voyage Home, I believe
I see what you did here
It's very grassy!
Best thirty minutes in my entire life 🥲
First game ever circa 1999/00 random faction/broken alliance (vatawna/sorceress and 14 sprites lol)
Это божественно !
Thumbs up if you heard this music for the first time on the Broken Alliance map. :)
Ah..........nostalgia
Broken Alliance!! Soooo much time!!
God!! It was the only map on the demo and it was so good and deep to explore I've never played the complete game for years
No it's fine really, I'm happy here in the year 1287.
1287 A.S.?
@@GreatEmerald Good question. I think it'd be BC.
Time of Wonders
Romero is almost on J.S.Bach's level.
😍😍😍
Heroes series music :
Heroes 4 no1.
Heroes 2 no2.
Heroes 3 no 3.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiwan2di
Is it just me, or does this sound a bit like the guitar solo from the middle of Bohemian Rhapsody?
luckily, it's just you
@@Chunti Why "luckily"?
