      HOMM clones.
      Songs of Conquest and Hero's Hour.

      Thanks.

      HOMM5 was great

      I agree but """"""soul"""""" of 3 is supreme, I enjoy 4 as well.

      Bear riders alone put homm 5 in the top tier. Endlessly slapping initiative out of slow units was funny as frick.

      AoW > HoMM. Much more complex and strategic. I still like HoMM.

        Thanks for the tip! Why isn’t it recommended, though?

          Inferno is the weakest town on paper but it's still not as bad as people on the internet will make you think it is. If you're a noob and you play against the AI it won't really matter, you can play with inferno just fine.

            Yeah the game isn't really balanced and you can easily break it with any nation against normal AIs, kid me played it just fine by only picking the nations, units and spells he thought looked cool. It's only against other players or versus 6 insane AIs that you need to start worrying about what your stacks are.

          the city has a lot of disadvantages with a few advantages that can only be used if you have advanced knowledge of mechanics and can ruin your first impression of the game

    years ago my friend made me play this game and the experience was so boring and sluggish, he already knew the game well so he just destroyed me so now i sadly have a negative look on this game and honestly this whole 'genre'

      King's bounty 2 is 2021 and bad.
      Kingf's bounty 1 is 2008 and 15 years old.

      We have no good new games in the genre.

      Age of Wonders is average at best.
      Planetfall is below average.

    The encounters play like a SRPG while the rest is like a turn based strategy game. The series peaked hard with 3.

    Is there a game like HoMM3, but without the combat? I know that's a weird request but I just like riding around, getting cool relics and building my city.

      Wouldn't that be an RTS?

      I'm sure there are fantasy city builders, but then most likely they won't be turn based, because turns exists to give the enemy time to act.
      If you mean the tactical battles, there are fantasy 4X games where the combat is just stacks bumping into each other on the main map a'la Civ.

      Maybe Against the Storm but not sure how close is that to what you're looking for. You don't ride around but you collect resources, boons, new blueprints, etc. No combat.

    New Spellforce game came out recently that is turn-based for a change. /vst/ claims it's legit.

      Devs are moronic.
      In Fantasy General II they said one faction with 30 units (core units being all generic humans) is the same as 3 factions with 10 units.
      Then in the game you mentioned they said dwarves and halflings is enough for fantasy people, no need for elves or dark elves or lizards or anything like that, be happy that they give you the ugliest shit and buy the game. They only had goblins as a base unit no matter what type of mage you played (can only play mages btw) because they "can't make 1000 units to please everybody". Literally mentally handicapped. AFAIK they had to change the goblin only thing because there were many threads of people baffled about it but they have an ass taste, I'm never giving them money.

      And judging by the general standards of the thread nobody will find what they're looking for in that game either. There's nothing close to HoMM series but maybe WH:TW like someone mentioned and if that's dumbed down then any other game mentioned is shilling because all fantasy TBS and even RTS are a dumbed down product with better graphics (sometimes not even, like SoC).
