I tried Might and Magic 6, 7, and 8 for the first time after seeing people talk about how great they were for years.

Didn't get past the first area in any of them, but I'm not super impressed by any aspect of these games. They're OK, but I just don't think the gameplay is for me? I'll definitely put some more time into them, and I can't say I dislike anything about them (except maybe the combat to a minor degree), but yeah, not really blown away by any of them.

Anyone have any recommendations for getting the maximum amount of fun out of them?

This awesome old dude.

Bottom 9: Phantom Menace Liam Neeson
Bottom 13 is strong too
third row, 3 is quite interesting as is 8th row, 15

Get away with what?

>>5937105

jews versus niggers would be my guess

Get bows before anything else in the game. Yes they are that important. Once you get water and air magic going the game is a lot more fun because traveling becomes trivial.

The bottom half of the /homm/ pastebin is about Might and Magic. http://pastebin.com/6G9B1cMA

My other run.

I played a LOT of MM7 when I was a kid, but I could NEVER beat it. This was before the internet was really widespread in homes, and I didn't know ANYONE at school who was playing. But fuck me did I give that game a REALLY THOROUGH go.

I always got to the bit where you choose the Arbiter, picked light side cause I liked Celeste, then the quests got too hard.

I played it through properly this last 2 years (One of each run, as depicted). I've come to realise how much you can break that game with Fly and Invisibility. I tend to rush an Invis scroll and a Fly scroll, bum rush my way to Titan's Stronghold, loot the ever loving SHIT out of it, then I can play a lot of the game sensibly after that.

Someone help put my mind to rest though. Does the game expect you to "cheese" it with Invisibility like I did? Because when you get to say, the Nighon tunnels, it takes fucking AGES to kill one enemy, and you have like 50 in front of you at any one time. Before you get 2 people with Scrapmetal, I think the combat is fucking bonkers

Thanks for the tips. I'll check out that pastebin, too.

>>5937658
close combat is really hard

>>5936985

Bows are handy early game, but melee is strong as shit providing you at least Bless your team for +Attack (hit rate)
