Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era

About the game

Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is the newest entry in the long-running series, combining empire building, turn-based tactical battles and RPG systems in a world of mythical creatures, spellcasters and champions. There is a story campaign, plus procedurally generated and hand-made maps, including ones built by players in the in-game map editor, with several classic and new modes to play solo or online with friends. Six factions are on offer, among them the knights of the Temple, the elemental spirits of the Grove, the dragons of the Dungeon and the undead of the Necropolis. On the strategic map you start with one town, construct buildings, recruit and upgrade units and hire heroes, then spend limited movement points each turn to claim resources, treasure and guarded landmarks. More than a hundred heroes bring their own armies, skills and spells, and artifacts can turn a weak army into a strong one. Battles are turn-based, with four schools of magic and a Focus resource earned by dealing and taking damage, spent on unit abilities such as the Graverobber summoning Skeletons.
