+WinTake Nope, Heroes IV sold pretty well. NWC had problems before H4, you can see that they wanted money quick just to dont get bancrupt (Heroes chronicles, which are just new campaigns, nice campaigns, but still), and Might&Magic IX which costed really great amount of money sold poorly, well mostly because it's compared to Might&Magic VI-VIII really bad game.
ahh heroes 2 and heroes 3 are awesome. The gameplay was awesome, the pictures, despite being cartoonish just fitted the best, and the music of Heroes 2 was mesmorising.
Been playing for only a few months and I love HOMM2 :) my favourite secondary skills are Diplomacy, Wisdom, Logistics, Pathfinding (assumingly I always play rough terrain), Leadership, Luck, Archery, and Ballistics. For me, Scouting is the worst skill and I will avoid it for as long as I can. My best troops are Dragons, Titans, Magi, Halflings, and Druids. Worst are the slow melees, they are so pathetic it’s sad to see them trying to kill anything :)) Best spell is undoubtedly Town Portals but I think you can never get it yourself; it’s given by the mapmaker.
This series of games seems to be very popular in eastern Europe countries and Russia. Especially Poland. I see it also in my videos´s statistics. Very bad use of your available spells in this first battle...
hehe, Heroes 2 and Drowning pool :) Well if I got your question right (it looks like you use spoken finnish, which is often difficult to understand for me :) ), the answer is, that you have to record the video in high quality to have the button available. If I remember I used the recording funciton of DosBox for this one...
@YinsShadow ITs the way the game is balanced . Humans are for fast rush early game, while let say wizards are for late game even the manual states that . Its not a balance flaw its just a design thing .If you are playng whit a human (castle) you need to rush your paladins and take some other strong towns for late game .As for the flying units - it kinds of make sence if they fly they are the fastes and most manuverable on the battlefield .
Not true, the speed of the animations are adjustable just like they are in Heroes 3. This guy simply set them to highest. Also the music is midi (meaning the guy is not using a sound-card for the game), the actual music of Heroes 2 is quite good (though heroes 3 has better music, agreed).
When i played the campaign mode, my last map wasn't this. It was another. Can you explain me that please. I'have never seen this map. ( sorry for my english i speak spanish ) From Peru
+PPatrick Nuñez In the second game, you have 2 campaigns. Good or Evil. If you choose good (humans, fairies or wizards), you fight evil (necromancers, barbarians and warlocks) and vice-versa if you pick evil, you fight the good. Each route had different maps including the final map. Technically you want to play and beat both campaigns and they're not too long either.
And when trying to match them up perfectly in battle, no realistic case goes "okay your 1st tier vs. mine, that's the only way to have this battle." If you think the knights are balanced, you're immensely skewed in your perception they have no advantage besides the extra one person per tier each week the barbarians also get. This is such a miniscule benefit that cannot compensate for a lack of stacks, and any other skill like conserving troops or rushing, is applied to other classes as well.
4:36 i loooooove the fight afterwards its so exciting to actually think all can happen and to last slash dont be sure who wins. although the gamer chose really bad strategy, when saw his spellbook to say the least ;) anyway fine movie cheers from Poland ;)
actually hom&m and m&m used to be very popular in poland back in the day, now prob younger brothers/sisters enjoy this game differently than we used to. and also GOG is the most amazing side on internets, which makes me cry whenever i see old tittle on sale. ;__;
Some gamer you are ... im sayng that thanks to the fact their units are cheap you can get paladins first or secound week (depending on the map and dificulity) and rush to your enemies while they still have low tier units and whit fewer numbers (lest say mummies fighting aganst paladins).And the secound worce archers in the game (we are talking about tier 2 ) are the orcs not the casles rangers whitch upgrated are preaty good since they shoot twice and are cheap.Upg swordmans are good to .
You could have very easily won the first fight. What possessed you to use low dmg spells in a battle with high army numbers ? Bless, Steel Skin and a few other spells deal A LOT of dmg, or absorb it.
Столько косяков! Слил бой персонажем, который спокойно рвал весь гарнизон! Кривой выбор спелов! А так просрать фениксов - это надо уметь. Короче, учись парень. Пока очень слабенько
The only complaints I had with this game, were it's uneven classes, and the fact that any flying creature could move anywhere on the map in 1 turn. Other than that, it's not my favorite, but the one that has the highest nostalgia rating for me, and the last one that more like a classic game since number 3, though better overall, didn't have that fairytale look to it. But I will still love playing the knights against the other classes on hard mode to give myself a challenge.
hehe ite uppasin just roland campaignin vikan battlen :D ilmestyykö sulla heti toi high quality näppäin ku oot upannu? mul meni tos yhes videos tunti et tuli :\
I was watching the video and then automatically right-clicked Roland to see his stats. When the options 'Copy video URL etc' popped out instead I realised what I was doing :D.
Is it possible to play homm2 online against a friend? I know DOSBox has some kind of old protocol emulation but haven't tried it. I keep trying to convince him to play HOMM3 but he refuses to let go of HOMM2 :)
Hmmmm.... I am watching this game first time.... I see this game first time! And for me: this game is nice, but I wouldn't play it. I just love Heroes III, and 3rd game will be my favourite one from HoMM series. Nice m8, nice.
Yes, the fourth was bad, but not as bad as 5th and 6th. I would really love to see a remake of the third with better graphics. Heroes 2 was released for smartphones but the UI did suck, buttons too small to press etc.
What a shame for you first hero. You should have cast mass haste and bless in the first place... Try to figure out how many damages 120 crusaders can inflict to the titans with 20 damages each...
Haha ok I must've mistaken your avatar for an Eye of the Beholder char. It's a fabulously difficult 90s "3D" dungeon RPG. But now I realise your avatar is a dude from HoMM III, cool too!
+Ahmet Bayirli No but they were close, roughly put there is a true distinction between might and magic in 3 whereas in 2 the character skills were pretty much a preselection of an optimal path. 3 had a wider variety and each hero had specialisations.
Best Heroes game, I hope someone upgrade it onto android. Someone did the android version, but it was terrible port. Graphic stylistic of H2 is so cool
I must say sir, you are brainless. Why, for the sake of those guys who invented "Disrupting ray" do you spam that fcking lightning? To kill 1 titan every round? 5 Disrupting rays, and those 124 crusaders would have killed 10+ more titans with a single hit.........
i swear that first battle against archibald was horrible,...with right spell usage and minion movement there would be almost next to none damage for the entire group of yours.
Why is this video suddenly recommended to me after 13 years??? :/
I dunno. Same here but this game (and homm3) had a certain kind of magic
2:07 I never noticed before how the heroes do a facepalm when one of their armies die
That one skeleton you got after battle was roland :)
avajpl but he was alive in the cutscene
I think that is the plotline with lich king Gryphonheart in Heroes III :D
Your spelluse is poor.
Useing dmg spells that does little dmg, rather then ressurect and dmg buff spells.
I uploaded it to share the nostalgy, not the show off my skills. And it's the last battle, so who cares how many units I lose :)
Rob Z. Oh well, fair enough.
Saurucow on this game, it depends on the players power (damage on spells/duration on spells) ,knowledge (spell point total)
+Rob Z. True true... But still, that's some poor skill :-P And also what happened to the music???
How can you say that? He won the final battle by just using a single spell. 6:38 Kappa
I absolutely loved the video but when you kept using the lightning instead of resurrecting someone I was virtually crying!
My first videogame.Oh the memories
Heroes of Might and Magic 2 ! What a nostalgy :) I used to play it when I was five, now I am 22 and waiting for the 7th part :)
good work and amazing game, I remember playing it with my dad when I was a child, good old days :-)
well, Fraps for example. But this one was recorded directly by DosBox (as far as I remember)
WHERE IS NEW WORLD COMPUTING OR 3DO ? PLEASE BRING THEM BACK !
+80BCCAVEMAN
They died because the fans hated what they did in Heroes IV
+WinTake The only thing i hate about 4 is that i can't mod it.
Weigazod agree
WinTake Good music, good story. It's what a fantasy game would feel like.
+WinTake Nope, Heroes IV sold pretty well. NWC had problems before H4, you can see that they wanted money quick just to dont get bancrupt (Heroes chronicles, which are just new campaigns, nice campaigns, but still), and Might&Magic IX which costed really great amount of money sold poorly, well mostly because it's compared to Might&Magic VI-VIII really bad game.
who else tried to click "okay" after the battle was over???
Heroes 2 still rules in 2018!
Agreed, most people like 3 however i'm with ya bud 2 ftw.
yeah!! and please try playing heroes 2 resurrection!!! it improves the whole game on several ways 😃😃😃 (And the IA of the enemies is really good!!)
ahh heroes 2 and heroes 3 are awesome. The gameplay was awesome, the pictures, despite being cartoonish just fitted the best, and the music of Heroes 2 was mesmorising.
omg.. I still remember playing this like it was yestrday :')
This annotation at start warmed my heart a bit.
Thank you for polish text :)
Holly shit you are bad at Heroes.
true!
Where you?
I was VERY dissapointed that 16 cyclopses can not kill a sinlge titan and die instantly....:P
mark hoogerwaard yeah Cyclopes are useless. The barbarian is the strongest in early game but the weakest at end game in my opinion.

My mum loves this game.
Вторая часть намного лучше третьей и всех последующих.
Именно потому что там нет чрезмерно огромных армий и слишком мощных заклинаний.
This series of games seems to be very popular in eastern Europe countries and Russia. Especially Poland. I see it also in my videos´s statistics.
Very bad use of your available spells in this first battle...
I like H2 more then H3 )
Than* mate, me too mate.

I just watched video. It was good video.
Thank you for video.
The instruments played are different on this one.
Different "sound fonts".

Szkoda że nie masz tego więcej np całej Kampanii. Pozdrowienia z Polski :)
This game is amazing I play it all the time I also played it all the time when I was a kid.
someone tell me the most archibald part of this plz
Wow im a huge fan of heroes 3 but never played 2. Looks quite different
+Иво Георгиев the battle actions are so much faster than heroes 3, heroes 3 gives you enough time to enjoy the music ;)

"Third of Polish viewers are below 18 years old"
I FUCKING LOVE YOU GOG
Heroes 2 cool games ❗🆒💻🖥️🕹️🎮👍👍👍👍
You can't record with dosbox and fraps at the same time. Try using dosbox only.
Still playing in 2018
Where are the diplomacy heroes? Or did you just not count them?
Some gamer you are ... im sayng that thanks to the fact their units are cheap you can get paladins first or secound week (depending on the map and dificulity) and rush to your enemies while they still have low tier units and whit fewer numbers (lest say mummies fighting aganst paladins).And the secound worce archers in the game (we are talking about tier 2 ) are the orcs not the casles rangers whitch upgrated are preaty good since they shoot twice and are cheap.Upg swordmans are good to .

i know it's not canon but I've chosen Archibald
he respects you more as his general than Roland
I thought I was bad at this game...
Столько косяков! Слил бой персонажем, который спокойно рвал весь гарнизон! Кривой выбор спелов! А так просрать фениксов - это надо уметь. Короче, учись парень. Пока очень слабенько
Алексей Бакаринов Do u know English dude?
Согласен. Сердце кровью обливается от этого боя.
Прям обидно за компа, чуть-чуть ламера не дожал;)
Алексей Бакаринов, нормальный игрок даже комментировать этот бой бы не стал, а ты стал, значит ты сам нуб еще тот))) ломоть плешивый))
Giovanni Bertocci spaghetti pepperoni bitch
Still rules in 2015
Hilarious how you won with a single Armageddon in the final battle.
The only complaints I had with this game, were it's uneven classes, and the fact that any flying creature could move anywhere on the map in 1 turn. Other than that, it's not my favorite, but the one that has the highest nostalgia rating for me, and the last one that more like a classic game since number 3, though better overall, didn't have that fairytale look to it.

Wow, it was pretty something :) Even with twice luck on crusaders attacker managed to lose.
I'd like to see how to play last round in roland good campaign! its impossible for me :/ jinak jsem z ceska :)
liked, greetings form Poland :)
the main menu is exactly like Age of Empires 2 menu :O
why do all the heroes have same units, is it so hard to come up with something new?
hehe ite uppasin just roland campaignin vikan battlen :D ilmestyykö sulla heti toi high quality näppäin ku oot upannu? mul meni tos yhes videos tunti et tuli :\
Cos o polsce bylo na poczatku nie?
I was watching the video and then automatically right-clicked Roland to see his stats. When the options 'Copy video URL etc' popped out instead I realised what I was doing :D.
i remember playing this very long ago with my brothers 1 always kept going for black dragons he said that they were the best in the game
mind you not to forget about Slovakia..? :) Thanks for the video! ;)
Is it possible to play homm2 online against a friend? I know DOSBox has some kind of old protocol emulation but haven't tried it. I keep trying to convince him to play HOMM3 but he refuses to let go of HOMM2 :)
how strong I wanted computer to beat this noob!!!
This fucking game man.. it was the shit. Once those Crusaders get close stuff just die.
Hmmmm.... I am watching this game first time.... I see this game first time! And for me: this game is nice, but I wouldn't play it. I just love Heroes III, and 3rd game will be my favourite one from HoMM series. Nice m8, nice.
i love this game i thought i was the only one that played it
such a great game. Brings back memories :)
But you miss the fact thet due to resource managment i will have mine tier X before your tier X .
The hero with the Dragons probably had high defense
the best game i’ve ever played
still the graphics are better than the 6 and 7 versions
proc pl?
Хм, а почему титаны такие слабые против черных драконов здесь?
Yes, the fourth was bad, but not as bad as 5th and 6th. I would really love to see a remake of the third with better graphics. Heroes 2 was released for smartphones but the UI did suck, buttons too small to press etc.
Oh the good memories from this!!
According the numbers of troups in your team and Roland's team you spend at leat 4 month in this campain =) :D not so good, but thanks for the video !
I know right!
Such a classic game...
This is a best game of all the world.
Hey, man, Poles aren't the only ones watching!
where is the fucking use of the resurrection spell here
The teams were sooo unbalanced in Heroes 2.
this game awesome getting 5 from amazon actually did it today amazing game though
What a shame for you first hero.
You should have cast mass haste and bless in the first place...
Try to figure out how many damages 120 crusaders can inflict to the titans with 20 damages each...
u go gurl!
+the reSident waSkian You're the dude from Eye of the Beholder, right? Is that really you??
What is Eye of the Beholder?
Haha ok I must've mistaken your avatar for an Eye of the Beholder char. It's a fabulously difficult 90s "3D" dungeon RPG.
But now I realise your avatar is a dude from HoMM III, cool too!
Oh, the humanity!
czech females?
pics pls now!!!!!
What "Czech females"? Where?
Бомбическая игрушка.
nope! the ballistas from the enemy castle would destroy the mirror image
It seems the only difference between homm2 and 3 is graphic quality. Game play is same
+Ahmet Bayirli No but they were close, roughly put there is a true distinction between might and magic in 3 whereas in 2 the character skills were pretty much a preselection of an optimal path. 3 had a wider variety and each hero had specialisations.
Yeah, the main menu is kinda same :D
Best Heroes game, I hope someone upgrade it onto android. Someone did the android version, but it was terrible port. Graphic stylistic of H2 is so cool
Backseating in the comments is priceless, thks for uploading I started and ended my Heroes of Might and Magic on the 3rd.
This game is my youth!
Take 30-35 black dragons.Get 20+ spell power.Use armegeddon only.Congratulations !
damn i miss this game!!!!
You've never played against humans, there's no way you have if you think you'll have your paladins weeks before I can get pheonixes or bone dragons.
I must say sir, you are brainless. Why, for the sake of those guys who invented "Disrupting ray" do you spam that fcking lightning? To kill 1 titan every round? 5 Disrupting rays, and those 124 crusaders would have killed 10+ more titans with a single hit.........
I uploaded it to share the nostalgy, not the show off my skills. And it's the last battle, so who cares how many units I lose :)
He should also bless the saders
Капец мне 12 лет, а это видео вышло когда мне было 2 года пипееееееец ахринеть просто!!!!!!!
i swear that first battle against archibald was horrible,...with right spell usage and minion movement there would be almost next to none damage for the entire group of yours.
Oh the memories
Haha dziekuje :)
