6:15AM... Still playing HoMM 3. Its funny, the map we've been playing on (for ages it seems) looks like the North America, and even has towns and areas that are named after provinces, states, and cities, even.

Heroes of Might and Magic is a Turn-based Strategy game. Its rather fun and simply addicting to be honest. You own a town, which has an alignment of sorts which determines what type of unit and hero you will produce. Your units are your nitty-gritty fighters while your hero just kinda stands in the back and provides nifty bonuses and spells to the units under its command. Depending on your current hero's army strength, or overall power of the units under that hero's command, enemy monsters that guard precious resources will scatter just at the sight of your hero, or even, in awe, ask to join your cause, whatever it may be ;D.

It could be a faster paced game, to be honest, but all-in-all, it's pretty damn fun.
