Get Ready For Heroes of Might and Magic Olden Era (Ep.38)

Before Olden Era, there was Heroes of Might and Magic, the series that defined turn-based strategy for an entire generation.

In this episode, we unpack what made HoMM so addictive: the layered overworld maps, the chess-like battles, the base-building loop, and the sheer variety of factions and creatures. We trace its rise from the early days through the glory of Heroes III and the missteps that followed, setting the stage for what Olden Era now tries to revive.

If you're trying to understand the legacy behind the new game (like Al!), or just wondering why people are still talking about this decades later, this is your starting point.
