No. You can count all the M&M threads on one hand.

I don't think so. There are a lot of HOMM fans here, but there aren't many threads about it and Mark and Dan ask for quite a high level of participation for a new forum (witness the Story forum plea in Community).

If we get a couple of new HOMM threads every day then we should ask for a new forum. But we'll never get that many, so...

No but I think we're getting to the stage of needing to distinguish between 'Other PC games' and 'Games on Other Platforms'

I have just noticed most HoMM threads are silly polls, such as favourite spell, character type, or town type.

Pah.

No.

Where'd you get the idea that apolyton might need one?

I though about it... but there really isn't that much to talk about HOMM-wise In fact, we nearly have as many posts on HoMM III here as the boards at celestial heavens have (actually we have more ) but that's not much considering- sadly, there isn't too much to discuss, unless we want to organize a scenario-competition Like H3Trio had

...Anyone want to do that?

If we did that, then perhaps the amount of threads would warrant a fora

Exactly.
I loved the game, and I enjoyed the strategy/balance of it, but the strategy doesn't warrant discussion in the same way as, say, Civ2 or SMAC.

The forum would be one of those forums that you visit each day and are disappointed to find that nobody has found anything to post about. i.e: a waste of time. At least in Other Games you have an audience.

-Well, if we could organize something around the game,,, then perhaps there would be reason for a forum... Oh well, that's unlikely- since even the 'semi-official' fora- Celestial Heavens for example; fail to have much discussion on the subject anymore

At this point the only HOMM discussion going on is whether or not it needs a forum. I think it is probably a great game and something that I would love to discuss when I get it this Christmas but there is not enough traffic on this site to justify it.


Edit: Never mind, it appears you guys are going for the forum and have created a number of new discussions. I guess if there are enough responses to it, I would be in favor of it.

Not that bad an idea- we could create sort of a PBEM game and Demo/Game mix with people voting on which creature generators to build for a week- each day we'd play a week in a selected map then report at the end of the week!

Well, we have had about on average, for the past 3 months- 1 thread a week Therefore: we have about 12-15 threads on it within 3 months old (or so I estimate)...Almost enough, but not quite- If we could manage 10-40 active threads over 2 monhths- then we could possibly win a petition! (At least that's what I think it took Earth 2025 to get their fora )

or maybe we could get some kind of multiplayer thing going?

or a duel tournament. 2 players, 1 city each, nothing else on the map, wait for 2 months, buy everything and then fight. how about that? does it sound... öö... cool?
I'm sure that Darkcould can come up with a good map for it (well, in the matter of a fact I do allready have a good map for it.)

you just have to click nex turn - next turn - next turn.....
nothing else.
and then you can save it, and have so many rematches as you like.

you can use a empty map with only 2 towns.
or my Heroes 3 Arena.

Okay- I'll download it and try it when I return home

Yes I have ICQ... but I don't use it since my firewall usually erupts in errors when I use it allegedly someone tries to hack into my computer when I use ICQ... but AIM has no errors

=
At h3trio.com they have some battle maps. In fact, hte battle maps are quite famous... they had competitions for over a year- and over 50 people participated!

I like the idea of HoMM3 or HoMM3 AG multiplayer with other Apolytoners. May I join in?

Anyway, on the topic...

I voted "no" as I can't see any really good reason for a such forum.

Back on the forum thing, if you did choose to have a HOMM forum, you may as well make it HOMM/Warlords.
