Heroes 3 campaign series#

I can confirm at least that Heroes 2 had some good allied single player maps that came with excellent stories.

I'm not really interested in the newer games since their quality doesn't seem as good as Heroes 4, let alone the exceptionally high quality of Heroes 2 or 3. I just thought it would be fun to play with a friend. Temps: Playing a campaign, due to the story and unique or novel circumstances of the campaign, not to mention the cinematics, atmosphere, and story that typically accompany it is typically more interesting to me than simply playing a random skirmish map that allows for allied factions. I also suggest poking around Celestial Heavens to see if you can find anything that looks appealing. Some of the scenarios do have more than just a single pop-up text box after you start the map, like random events you may stumble across while playing, or events based on time triggers, but you won't find cinematics in any of them. I haven't played all the scenarios that ship with H2-4, but H3 is probably your best bet for what you're looking for. The first 'Neutral' campaign in H3 is about being a mercenary leader in a time of trouble the first two maps are working for two different sides, while the third map is picking one of those sides to support in a land grab. For example, the first 'Good' campaign in H3 has the theme 'Recover from the surprise Demon attack', where the first map is all about establishing a beach head, the second map is gathering allies, and the third map is gathering the troop production you need.

Heroes 3 campaign series#

Most of the Heroes 2-4 campaigns are simply a series of scenarios that have an overarching theme. Some single scenario maps do have elements of story (but not all), though generally a more involved story is achieved via a map designed for a single player experience because there are fewer variables that the map maker has to deal with, like victory conditions. I wanted to check whether it was more story aspects or 'play with a friend' aspect that you cared about more, or if you were really looking for 'lets play through a series of missions together'.

Playing a campaign, due to the story and unique or novel circumstances of the campaign, not to mention the cinematics, atmosphere, and story that typically accompany it is typically more interesting to me than simply playing a random skirmish map that allows for allied factions. H5 is also going to be similar, though in this one the campaigns have all sorts of triggers and trying to insert an allied player will likely break the thing in half.Дo you explicitly want a coop campaign? What precisely are you looking to do or accomplish? With some details I might be better able to point you in the right direction. There might be a few ally oriented scenario maps? I don't remember. The campaigns are very explicitly single player (generally revolving around a particular hero).
