  • WTF

    

  • While in total...heroes 4 was not a good game...

    Yet,The story of Gauldoth Half-Dead was incredible in my opinion,and it made the entire shits of heroes 4 worth it!!!

    There are not many stories that show such a great necromancer!!!

  • too much grass I see there for this to be Necropolis... im sorry H4 :]

  • Everything but everything goes into the SkeletonTransformer!!!

    Now beat that Moeahahahahaha.!!!!!

  • DIES ILLA. DIES IRAE. CALAMITATIS ET MISERAE. Honest, it should be the Necro theme in allllllllllllllllllll the HOMMs'.

  • The heroes 4's superiority compared to 3 is the map editor and music.

  • listen to this song with best sound system or headphones at highest volume with your eyes closed (espacially the last part ! ) , and you will automatically imagine that the whole world is getting under your evil domination! and then you will find yourself making a silent evil laughter...

  • @Maidenofiron27

    It's a great game! The problem people have with HOMM4 is that it's the sequel to one of the best games EVER created (and for me who's been a gamer since NES times and played over 800 games it IS the best one). HOMM3 is just perfect and a lot of players just wanted more of the same.

    I personally enjoy innovation in games so I appreciated HOMM4 and judged it by it's own standards not as a sequel to HOMM3. And by the way you just have to try HOMM3 - it will blow you away

  • This is the first HOMM game I ever played, and at the time of writing, the only one. I was probably about 9 or 10 I reckon, and back then my dad still had the time to indulge in some Might and Magic, and the icon was on the desktop of the family computer, double-clicked it and never left the computer for WEEKS!

    I'm told it was terrible compared to other HOMM's, but I suppose the lack of knowledge of 'better' games made it better for me. Is this one really as bad as people say? Or just fanboys?

  • This is a Necropolis/Inferno = DEATH

  • HOMM4 had some interesting ideas, but in most cases weren't executed in the best way.

    The campaigns sucked for the most part with the exception of Galduan Half-Dead (or whatever his name was) and the town screens were pure vomit.

    Was it still a good game regardless? Yes, the music was great, the sprites were for the most part good, and all the new ideas they had mostly had the right idea. It's still my least favorite HOMM game, but it is underappreciated.

  • I really enjoyed 4, but I still felt like 2, 3, and 5's necromancers were more intimidating. They didn't need to mix with demonic troops, for one thing, and their undead warriors just had a more menacing look to them. I missed my dread knights, wraiths, and liches, dammit. D= Still. This theme was smashing, even if 3 and 5 were a titch more 'fitting'.

  • my favourite

  • I cant believe so many nay-sayers in here.

    As its been discussed countless times, H4 differs alot from the original setup of the others games, its a like-dislike situation, based on opinion. H4 has in my opinion one of the greatest game soundtrack ever created.

  • It doesn't fit to death. But still great. ;)

  • i agree that h3 necro theme is better than in 4. is just scaryiest:))

  • Heroes III były o niebo lepsze.... według mnie III to najlepsza wersja Heroes

  • Man, the Necropolis got nerfed in HOMM IV. =\

  • @ShabobaX this strategy. there is no nerfed or overpowered. all is by ur mind!

  • u can all hate ur mothers that gave birth to u imbecil homam 4 haters:) noob idiots fuck off with ur comments that noone gives a shit about

  • @matejaganja Hahahahahahahah I love it.

  • God thats a necromancy town ??? What a shitty job they did ? Go look at Heroes 3 and thats a necromancy town, you can feel it.

    This this is just a insult, why do games always need to change things drastically instead of improving on a great desgin.

  • Heroes 3 Towns are the best. Heroes 3 is the Win XP. Heroes 4 is Vista. Heroes 5 is Win 7.

  • @Plunder567 In fact, Heroes 3 is XP, heroes 5 is vista, and 4 is windows seven before the service pack came out :))

  • @Erg0lite your opinion ;)

  • Oh God, I hate Heroes 4 so goddamn much.

    Disgrace to the HOMM series.

  • @UshiromiyaReiji But the music in HOMM4 is extremely epic and awesome!

    The game itself isn't very good though, compared to HOMM3 I agree with you on that.. :P

  • @Destruction3402

    True, the fact a game is bad does not mean the music is bad, you are absolutely right.

    I never said it is.It's great, like all the HOMM soundtracks.

  • way to win is get 30 vampires grandmaster necromancy

    then fite and later u will have 100 vamps then 200 they can kill 10 black dragons in one hit !!!

  • for some reason I never really liked IV, and V just made me sad to see how much it have all changed as Im a player from back to the first version HOMM I.

    and I am now stuck at playing HOMM III. which was the best version if you ask me.

    and with all the developers around HOMM III. there are now some unofficial versions which made the game even better.

  • @h0vding Problem with HOMM III is that it's extremely unstable and I'm running it on XP Home edition. I wonder if I need some kind of patch to make it more stable.

  • @DonF72 I never had a problem with that :O

    Im now running Windows 7 ultimate, but I run it as XP.

  • @h0vding Would you say Windows 7's worth buying? Over Vista, and over XP?

  • @Northorseman windows 7 took me with a blast...

    windows vista is a failure product if you ask me.. which is why they made windows 7.

    which is in my opinion the best OS my laptop came with vista when I bought it.. changed it to windows 7 and it made my laptop 3x faster.

    XP is not bad at all, but Windows 7 kinda beats it :D

  • @DonF72 problem is not the game but the system, XP Home edition is only good for working on MS-Office and a few other programs, it can't work good with graphics and internet

  • @h0vding You're not alone there :)

    And yeah, they are some usermade 'expansions' out there that look really good.

    Videos can be found of them here on YouTube ...

  • @Northorseman well Im really looking forward to Horn Of The Abyss.

    which have been a project now for over two years..

    and they are expecting to be finished this year.

    But Wake Of Gods was an amazing expansion, which changed the fun of the game a lot, but made playing against some other players quite harder as well.

  • 4 was just down right BS.

  • 3 was better than 1,2,4 and 5. Because the towns where balanced and the gameplay were good and it wouldn't stop being fun and you couldn't predict it as much as you could predict the others.

    Still I have made up a foolproof plan to beat every map with any castle. And the easiest to grasp was actually the weakest town of all but it's even the town that is most unbalanced. Necropolis infact.

  • @livedandletdie No ... The most unbalanced would be Conflux (if you play with the expansion), don't you agree?

  • My favourite race

  • HoMM IV has the most beautiful soundtrack of all games I've been playing!

  • What a horrid game, HoMM II was the best.

  • my friend, thank you for this wonderful music and for making it possible for me to download!

  • Perhaps, but this is not a professional movie is it? :P

  • hey do you guys know how to get that building or structure or whatever right at your left hand side at the corner.......that statue.......

  • @enigmatologist

    Or you could do a cheat, press tab and type: nwcCityOfTroy

    or find a grail, w/e that is

  • Thanks for uploading...but the intro is annoying and unncececairly, we can read the title

  • good music in homm4 too but too bad they just got it from an external source instead of making it themselves.

    the credits theme is just wonderful! But overall homm3 had the best themes (necro especially)

  • I actually think it's better that they took it from oriental and trditional places. I assume 3DO wants to give the gamer the ultimate experience and enjoy the game as much as possible. So you get the feeling as being there. I personally don't think it would even have got half as good if they produced their music themselves. The game becomes a whole with this incredible music :)

  • I'm not sure what you mean by "external source". Don't most studios outsource the sound production?

  • homm 3 still has best necro theme

  • all town themes from homm3 are the best in the series for me

  • @RedSHARK6 AGREE!!!!!!!

  • @RedSHARK6 agree !!! x2 ! but in HOMM4 is nice too ;)

  • this theme sucks compared to inferno and necropolis themes from HoMM3 and 5

  • 5!?

  • The problem with Heroes IV is that 3DO was running out of money and they rushed the release of the game. NWC, the developers, wanted at least a few more months to work on it. 3DO did the same thing to Might and Magic IX. In fact, it was 3DO that pretty much brought down the franchise. They were the ones who forced NWC to make all those expansions to heroes 3 rather than work on Heroes IV. 3DO favored quantity over quality. It's just too bad that no one was able to buy NWC when 3DO went bankrupt.

  • I liked the hero system in HoMM IV, you know, you could move the hero on battlefield and use it as footman or an archer..It was cool.

    I agree with people, who think that there is a big difference between necropolis and inferno.

    I like HoMM III and HoMM IV equally much, sometimes I prefer HoMM III, sometimes I don't..The gameplay is different in those games.. A couple wrong castles mixed in HoMM IV doesn't make it a piece of s***, actually the castle mixes make it more tactical.

  • c'mon don't complain abt homm4 or 5 or 3 whatever .. i think in every homm part there are thngs making the games worth playing.

    and .. well the music is just epic .. mysterious and really good for death.

    !

  • haha, as you said, each has it's good points. 4 less than 3 or 5. after all, if 4 was so bad, we'd probably have for the most part forgotten it, like 1 and 2 which are so old only hardline fans play them. but do you really think even this music is good? i mean, listen to necropolis theme for 3. much better. and i think 5's is probs better too but i can't remember lol.

  • meh. i take back sayin 5's might have been better. although there is one necropolis theme from 5 i really like. it's not the town theme tho.

  • Give to the HOMM IV a second chance! It is a very good game!

    You must just keep in mind: the HOMM 3 strategy does not work in this game. Both the micro- and macromanagment are different!

  • III HoMM is good old type of HoMM. They tried to make something else with HoMM IV and tehy did vell too. Dont compare HoMM IV with HoMM III becouse these are two different games.

  • I agree. Although HOMAM3 was my 'first' homam, I can say that HOMAM4 leads a tiny bit before HOMAM3 in my chart. I think 4 has the most suitable graphic for this kind of game.

    Sometimes I wish to take good things from 3 and 4 and combine them together.

  • Well guys the music on this game is good but homm 1 2 and 3 song and game is FAR better than the new games!

  • never played V, i think the IV is the worst being the 3rd the very best followed by the 2nd.

  • the soundtrack is fine but this was probably the worst HOMM.

  • Yes, the gameplay and the castles sucked balls. And that they intergrated the Inferno with Necropolis town really sucked big balls, and some units didn´t fit some castles.

  • dude the mix between necropolis and inferno was the biggest dump ever hahahaha! totally agree on that point.

    the buiding alternatives were quite an interesting thing on varying strategy but they reduce the number of units avaible per town.

  • @Nefus2 Thats the HOMM 3 fanboy talking. HOMM 4 has great gameplay of its own, it's just not the same game as its predecessor. Also this castle(the death castle) might look a little incoherent and ugly but there are other great ones.

  • @Nefus2 They were on a new world. Only the angels and zealots fit the Castles. LOL

    I admit I hated the demons in NEcropolis, but this was because of the half dead's story about his vampire lord who aided the demons of a dead realm, to kill "the living world".

    The demons were being sent to aid the vampires in fucking shit up.

  • That is not fixing, dude. That is a "new game and castles" this one is called Chaos and there live demons and also other bad creatures. It did not have a part in heroes 3

  • im sorry but combining inferno and necropolis wasnt a good thing to do i mean yes they both are evil but in a different kind of way

  • yea, the inferno whants to basicly turn the whole earth to a fiery... shit hole, while the necromancers just whant to become accepeted and gain a spot in the world :S

  • yeah :D but dont necromancers have a thing obout taking over the world WITH GIANT UNSTOPABLE ARMY'S OF LIVING DEAD NONE SHALL SURVIVE ALL WILL BOW BEFORE THE UNDYING LEGIONS ORE WILL BE SENT TO A REALM OF UN ENDING SUFFERING MWAHAHHAHAH... oops :S i got carried away a lil bit :P

  • it's easy.......inferno doesnt give a crap about anything and crush all and are dead evil

    necropolis does give a crap - are tricky and strategic and have the stench of death.... not exactly evil

  • wait i got it!

    inferno are chaotic evil that want to destroy everything and necropolis are lawfull evil that would like to conquer not destroy the world but they just do it in the evil way

  • well the latter of your points, about necropolis not necessarily being evil, is a concept much easier to understand when you get into the whole background for HOMM5.

    lol, i almost forgot how shit 4 was. the only thing i remembered was the good thing. multiple heroes in an army. the rest sucked.

  • that's necropolis? WTF? 0_o? nothing compared to homm 3 :/

  • well this is necropolis/inferno, some parts here remind me of homm3 inferno actually

  • there is nothing that looks like inferno/necropolis.... : /

  • I agree. HOMM3 had it DOWN. This game made necropolis look too clean

  • I LOVE the Dark messiah/Heroes of might and magic stories, the ''legacy'', its so awesome.

  • Unfitting music and town is just ugly like most things in Heroes 4. :( Sad. Curse designers for fusing unholy and undead!

  • paul romero - absolute top in game music and music ever!

  • the music is fine. At least he knows to make a music. Basically heroes series are universal and it attracts the children to play it.

  • Not a particularly good Necropolis song. However, that being said, I think it fits perfectly for the character of Gauldoth Half-dead. It has its evil brass motifs, but also hints of heroic motifs; sort of encapsulating the character's duality.

  • adolfvonheidrich

    first you cant spell and hydras champions thunderbirds mage and elf sucks like hell

  • Elf does sucks like hell when it is being played to someone like you.

    IMO, all races are really cool. It is entirely depend on how you play it.

  • if you wanna have a good team in heroes

    then choose these

    death: cerberi, venom spawn, devil

    life: ballista, crusader , angel

    might: nomads , cyclops, behemoth

    nature: tiger, griffin, farie dragon

    chaos: medusa/minotaur,nightmare, dragons

    order: golem, genie, titan

  • every units are good, if i know my enemies, that determines what do i choose. however, here is my favourite random-match teams:

    death: cerberi, vampire, dragon

    life: ballista, crusader, champion

    might: nomad, cyclops, thunderbhird

    nature: archer, griff, faire dragon

    chaos: medusa, nightmare, hydra

    order: mage, genie, titan

  • The Necropolis campaign was really well written. I love how Gauldoth wasn't the stereotypical evil power hungry necromancer. He understood the need to maintain a balance between life and death. He understood that he couldn't just oppress people like all the other necromancers who came before him. His goal of creating an empire that would endure while all others crumble into dust was truly visionary.

  • His story was so well written. I love how when his master demands him to kill a vampire that holds a certain artifact his response is like, "Umm, are you sure, he's a good ally?" It's not something you'd expect an undead character to say, but his character had so much personality it was entertaining.

  • yeah, because Gauldoth was only half-dead

  • just cant compare heroes 3 with 4.

    theyre both great.

    3 you can build alot more creatures and i liked the towns more, but 4 you can pimp your hero wayyyy better, spells are far more usefull and powerful and overall I thought the campaign were alot better in 4 alswell.

    with 4 i really wanted to know what happened next, in 3 it was just ... meh lets beat these guys and hope the story gets better

  • Yeah man, I like it how most people got fucked over in Gauldoth Half-dead's campaign.

  • @spiritronin the heroes 3 campaigns were good,but they were kinda dull and vague.

    the journal entries in HOMM IV are so great,they kept me playing!

    i truly enjoyed gauldoth's campaign

  • @spiritronin I fucking agree with you.

  • FOR NEKROSS!

  • Vampires were way too overpowered. I loved vampires, loved playing Necros (still do in HoMM V) but they were so nigh-on indestructible when amassed that it wasn't even funny.

  • raaaaaaanged creatures and every debuff you can come up with! XD

  • I was surprised my vamps would revive their own fallen ones with the lifedrain. Awesome.

  • Heroes 4 is the best game in the series in my opinion.

  • The music isn't that good? Are you kidding?

  • HOMM 4 is not good... they made a big mistake they fuse inferno and necropolis ;(

  • Homm4 IS GOOD,but you are right.Necropolis and Kreegan demons? Bah! Nonsense!

  • That they made a hybrid of Necrotown and Infernotown etc was the greatest mistake they did. And the music isn´t that good either.

  • Ehhh, Heroes V is made by americans.. .___.''

  • Heroes V is developed by Nival Interactive wich is a Russian company.

  • Homm5 sucks balls to look at, really.

  • Koteban this remark shows just how ignorant you really are.

  • imo 4th beats 3 and 5 easy. got em all three.

    3 is great. 5th is a bad remake of it. but 4 is the best.

  • ehh i dont know why people hate 4th part so much.... it was good game :] i rly enjoyed playing that part (not as much as 3rd but still i rly liked 4th)

  • I felt the same way after playing through some campaigns in HOMM IV. I was thinking why would people hate this game and I came to the conclusion that it's because in HOMM IV you have to actually think a little of what you are doing when in HOMM III you usually survive on creature strength alone.

  • agree! i played 4 before 3 so maybe thats why my mind wasnt corrupted in knowing that HOMM 4 was actually a really great game!!

  • I love HOMM IV, and I can't understand either why people hate it. Maybe they're just jealous X'D

  • About what?

  • compared to the other games in the series it was rushed and, i mean, no multiplayer in vanilla?!?

  • I got homm3&4 complete. Its awesome.

  • If Heroes IV didn't came as one of Might and Magic games, it would be a pretty good game. Comparing to previous games, it's not so good.

    Pretty music either.

  • HOMM 4 is way better than HOMM 5 but i like the towns more in HOMM5

  • yah prety they ruined HOMM 4 but they fixed it at V :D

  • I think that this theme should be darker

  • Didn't think the Dead were particularly concerned with Cellos.

  • 10,000.

  • Cool song, but really HoMM4 sucks ^^

  • Doesn't suck. If it came out on it's own- i.e. it was called Heroes of Might and Magic, and didn't have the awesomeness of II and III behind it, it would be an amazing game.

    Otherwise, it is compared unfavorably to the previous games.

  • HOMM4 is very disappointing =/

  • inferior to HOMM3 and HOOM5....yes (imo not that much) but then again it's hard to compare them because they changed a lot in 4 (good changes like the caravans...bad changes like a dwelling excludes the other creature type) but i have to say that the soundtrack is really good!

  • I suspect the series peaked at HOMM3 (although I far prefer the 2D sprites and operatic solos of HOMM2).

    The next HOMM game needs to be a touch more inventive, but not in a way which dilutes or dumbs the current formula.

    I still preferred the 2D sprites.

  • necropolis is my favorite faction in homm4. all u need is demonology given by death & nature (if i remember well).

    having demonology u dont need any troops. just cast summon imps, cerberi, slimes(?) or devils and most battles are won.

    it was so fun and op too ;P

  • Yeah they should have made Dungeon an under ground lizard race or something.... still a great game though

  • Nah... Lizardmen should have been Fortress! I don't say that Dwarves don't deserve the right to be Fortress but Lizardmen is more oldschool Homm3!

  • But Homm5 is the most bizzare cuz: Dungeon is a fuckin Dark Elf city! it´s not a Dark elves! It should be Warlocks, Chaotic magic and tons after tons of Monsters that´s serves the Warlocks! that´s Dungeon, one of my favorite towns!

  • Know why that happened? Because it's Ubisoft. Ubisoft fucks game up. HoMM5 may be a decent game in its own right, but it does not deserve to be known as the rightful successor to the HOMM series.

  • well it was 3DO that fucked the fourth game up after all...

  • I can say this! It´s not the better game of the Homm series! but the music and the new world of Axeroth is awesome! i like that why! when it´s goes to the playing and towns! they just took some cretures and put them in other towns and created new ones! i didn't liked that really!

  • this music stinks, Homm3 has the best Soundtrack ever, its legendery!

  • I like these soundtracks! but Homm V music gives me not the Old feel! An' Homm III is the best!!

  • Personly i ilke homm 3 better than homm 4. Because in homm 4 they´ve changed to much, if u comparing the other Homm games. The graphic standard in this game; is just not right. And why combine Necro and Inforno? But as allways they´ve dunn a flawless job, when comes to the soundtrack:) Good Theme!

  • god why does every1 hack dowm on HOMMIV?! if you dont like, then dont watch the vid, dont play the game and keep all your bad thought for yourself!! HOMMIV ftw!!

  • man,they tottaly fucked the series with this game.this town looks like a combination of Conflux,Inferno and Rampart(WTF?????).HOMM3 series is the best of them all,all of the fans are saying that

  • well, if you think thar HOMMIII is better, then dont watch any HOMMIV movies and keep you bad thoughts for yourself you asshole. i personally think HOMMIV kick the ass of the other HOMM games, and all other games in the world for that matter. great theme, thx for the upload, and if any1 feels lake playing online, just pm me!! great game and great vid

  • you are right.i apologize for creating any disturbances,but hear me out.if this is a Necro town,where is the big masive graveyard,the sinister castle on a black mountain?this town is as grassy as any rampart or castle,and the buildings are far from sinister.if the title wouldn't have said Necropolis theme,i wouldn't have known what this town is this

  • In HOMM4...if there is snow around the castle you're also gonna have snow in the castle! if the Necro town is in the middle of a grassy plain it also means you have grass in the town! I agree with the rest though! Imo necropolis is the best designed in HOMM5! They're really look scary there!

  • Homm3 is the best!! but i cant see Conflux in Necro! but i say the same about these cominations! it gives me not the Homm feel! but the soundtracks is rather good!!

  • wait a second man.that blue portal in the right looks like an Altar of Thought(conflux lvl 6)and this town has GRASS!!!grass in necropolis?what the hell?

  • there you got a point with the altar! but grass is just for in the Homm4: where ever your town is in what sort of landscape, it´s the same terrain! like if the Necro town is in snow, when you get into the town, there will be snow there aswell! more realistic!

  • I wonder why they didn't make that in the fifth. Like fortress in HOMM V, It's always snowy terrain! No matter the terrain outside

  • Can it be?

    It doesn't feel like the other HoMM games, which is EXACTLY right! But if it was released separately, not compared to HoMMIII, I'm sure this game would have gotten excellent marks.

  • HoMM3 has the best soundtrack, And this Necropolis suck, Is a fucion of necropolis and inferno with mosnters. The real Necropolis is in the HoMM3 and HoMM5.

  • LIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIFFFFFFFFffff­ffffFFFFFFFffffffFFFFFFFFfffff­feeeeeeEEEEEEEeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEE­E

  • HOMM III has better soundtrack

  • No, HOMM III has the BEST soundtrack :D

  • Not realy... Look at some of H5 soundtracks and H4 nature sound track

  • Well, it's your opinion... I think the 3 is the best HoMM game ever... 4 sucks, 5 has a very sloooooow gameplay...

  • Czy my się znamy? Nie wiedziałem, że wrzucałeś takie szlachetne filmiki, jak ten.

  • znamy sie głównie z paru wymian zdań xD

    a co rozumiesz przez pojęcie szlachetne filmiki?

  • Że jest to pierwszy Twój filmik, jaki przyciągnął moją uwagę.

  • aha rozumiem xD

  • The soundtrack was so much better in HIII. They made Necropolis less scary, which I don't like.

  • This theme is so black and fiery! Are there any classical compositions that match this feeling? Did any composer want to sound "evil" centuries back?

    Thanks in advance.

  • i had this game but my brother took a chew in the disc and not playable anymore. so now i only play heroes of might and magic III restoration of erathia+ armageddon's blade what is the last part shadow something the necro theme in III is better

  • For all you guys that aren't pleased with the balance in the game, try the EQUILIBRIS mod, or at least read the changelog so that you would see what was made better (genies, vamps, ogres and other stuffs got balanced).

    There are better themes in the game by my opinion but this one is prety good also. I still can't fight the dark feeling I get.

  • where i can get this mod?

  • Write Equilibris in google, the first site is your answer

  • Yeah Death! Nice whit nearly all units here.. except I hate facing vamps they are really too overpowered :/ But it's fun to have them xD

    And I prefer Bone Dragons over Devils.. at least in Heroes 3. Nice Necromancer hero, but the Death knight ain't so good..
