Heroes of Might and Magic 4 – a beautiful fantasy world. Yellow as the sun.

You won't believe it, but my favorite game is the fourth one. Amazing. So magical. And so unusual and new. Lots of experimentation. And a completely new graphic style. I loved it all.

I have the fourth game in GOG. And at the same time, I revived my GOG account. I played a little. Started playing. Watched the intro. A new world. We're playing in a new world. In a past world. Something irreparable has happened. Two heroes. Crossed their magic swords. And that was a thing, that never should have happen. The world was destroyed. Fire. Explosion. Cataclysms. Everyone had to leave for a new world.

And here's the new game – a new world. Just like in the final fantasy. I started playing the campaign. As usual – there are a lot of them. Right away, the first mission. I set the level to the easiest. And then they give me a lot of castles. I'm remembering how to play.

Very beautiful graphics. Such fantasy graphics. The game is visually very good. And new game themes and mechanics. Everything is truly new. I'm still riding these horses. Gaining experience. Immersing myself in the fantasy world.

I'm building structures in the city. Yes, you have to choose what to build. One or the other. And it's like that every time. Like in the game Disciples 2. A popular game back then. I like the way the city screen looks. It's somehow very unique. The fourth part has an interesting style in everything. New creatures. All the models are new. And on the battlefield, the hero can now walk too! And they can beat him up!

Here we have a human castle. And what's interesting is that there are several cities at once. Three. And many heroes. Three. One of them is kind of the main one. And with all these characters, we walk around and explore the world. Very colorful and beautiful. All the cities need to be rebuilt. There's a lot to do. Right away.

The first battles. I already beat someone with a sword there. Although there was a risk. There was a risk that my hero would get beaten too. Although the heroes are strong. But not immortal.

I prefer playing games like reading a fantasy book. Beautiful. With pictures. And a captivating plot. Not as a competitive game, but as a work of art.

Everything is so yellow here. Such a color. Like the color of paper. Like the color of the sun. The game's design is vibrant. I don't think I've seen anything like this in any other fantasy series!

I'm trying to evenly develop the three cities. Although I clearly emphasize the city with the main character. I build it first. And somehow it pulls ahead in development. I begin exploring the magic map. Adventure. A whole world. Magic. That's what it is! Horses roam the map. Let's see what's there. Everything here is so magical and beautiful!

For now, I'm more like an explorer, launching the game. I'll probably restart the mission. So I can start playing more normally. For now, I'm just trying to remember what's here and how. Do some reconnaissance.

More like an inquisitive artist, I guess. I'm such a kind reader. I'm just walking around and seeing where my horses can go. I'm wondering what kind of house I should visit. It's interesting to spend some time on that.

I visited this circular artifact. I chose experience. I chose some skills. There are a lot of them. I'm just reminiscing about the game. I'm mastering them. Luck in Battle is a hero skill. It's useful, of course. There are all sorts of buildings, like the sawmill. The game map is very beautiful. You just want to wander around and explore everything. I really like this part for its unusual, yet fantasy-like style. Everything is so different here. I really like it! So far, I've just launched it for a quick introduction! Admire the scenery! The most beautiful fantasy world is here. Yellow as the sun. It really sets the mood.

Playing little games. From time to time i like to play videogames. And write about it. Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.

Heroes of Might and Magic IV - Zanfas’ Challenge

When playing Heroes IV, I usually take on an explorer behavior and take my time with the quest. I made up some silly little stories while I played too. Behind the second screenshot was an epic story about five heroes and a haven that all fell to an efreet lich and his three black dragons. There was another story about a dejected thief who was ordered to man a necropolis, but I had no screenshot for it.

Heroes 4 website – a solar disk and magic

I'm continuing to practice hypertext markup language. That is, HTML. Simple HTML. And literally a pinch of salt from CSS and PHP. I've even developed a template of sorts. The site header. The end of the site. The menu on the left. And each site differs from the next – in content and style.

There's room for creativity and technique. Once I've figured out the technique, the creativity begins. This website. This. Another one. And off we go. This is a fan site about the video game Heroes of Might and Magic 4. How I remember that game. And how I perceive it.

I see the site as golden. Like sunlight. And like a sheet of paper. I took something from the cover art for the background. Part of the texture. Here on the site there are several menu elements. And everything is already similar. In theory. But it looks different. I'm practicing. I'm writing HTML code by hand.

This is version 0.1 of the website. It's a launch version. It shows the general idea. But I won't be publishing it yet. The starting version is in Russian. And starting with version 0.2, an English version will appear, and I'll start publishing the website itself online.

Since I've already come up with an idea, I'll tell you about it. I really love Heroes of Might and Magic 4. It has such a sunny style. I like the way the game looks. And everything new there is. The cities. The choice of creatures. My brother and I played a lot. We took turns making moves. For this new take on the fantasy world, I like it even more than Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

The website has several entries. This is the introduction. It's like a fantasy book in front of you. A work of fiction. A fan site. I learned how to do something technically and am making it. The introduction describes the mood of the site. It's like a work of fiction.

It describes how Heroes of Might and Magic 4 is like a fantasy book. And a bright sunny day in style. How I loved playing with my brother. My impressions. And my memories of this game. I played it on my second Pentium a long time ago. And I still remember it with joy.

Highlights. This is the longest part. Here I spend a long time describing my personal vision of this part of the game, as I see it. I recall the other parts. The first four parts are here. Of course, more about part 4.

I remember the first part of the game. How beautiful and magical everything was! There was no other game like it! Elves, knights, magic, and sword. I didn't even know about the Sword and Magic series of role-playing games back then. Everything was beautiful and captivating there.

The second part. I really love the autumn forest there. The second part is similar to the first, but still different. New characters. Sword and magic again. Then the third part. The most epic. It eclipsed all other similar games in popularity. There's white snow. A wintery castle tower.

A castle about a native swamp with lizards. A castle dungeon with boars or bulls with horns, and how the people there are such heroes. My brother and I used to chase each other all over the map in a multiplayer game. Right there on the same computer.

Then time passed. I forgot about Heroes of Might and Magic. Then I saw it on the store shelf. A disc. Heroes of Might and Magic 4. I grabbed it right away. I only confirmed it was version 1.0. And I ran off to play, absolutely thrilled. This part really captivated me and my brother. We played together, too. And I played on my own, too.

The castles are very diverse. And there's so much that's new. A completely different magical and isometric world. Everything is new. The graphic style is completely different. The developers weren't afraid to repeat the third game. They came up with a completely new visual style. Everything is so bright. Sunny. It became very interesting to explore the world. To run around as a druid on a zebra. Choosing vampires as if they were movie actors. Visiting a clearing with dancing men for good luck. Those green ones. Unicorns, cyclops. Some kind of completely new fantasy.

I'm describing it all in highlights. For me, it was like a sunny spring day. Bright and nice.

Two more quick points. Discs. Just pictures of the boxes themselves, and the disc is there. Nothing special, just a standard look. But again, women. Beautiful boxes. Beautiful pictures. Interesting design. I really like those circles too. A circle of the sun, I think. Slavic fantasy. There's also a circle when you choose a hero in the tavern. An interesting new visual design.

And the modifications section. It's just a picture. And what modifications are there? It's high resolution. I don't know about modifications yet. I just wanted to think of a menu item like that.

I thought for a long time about what to call the site. Equinox. Sort of like fantasy, to emphasize it. But I just left it as a placeholder name. Heroes 4 website. These heroes are like a solar disk and magic to me. That's what I wanted to capture here. On this small website. Equinox is something fantastic and cool yet to come.
