No, where the real joy of
Heroes III: Complete lies is in the gameplay. And it has a ton of it. In fact, technically there’s a near-infinite amount of gameplay, as
H3C comes with a random level generator.
But I get ahead of myself. When you start up Heroes III: Complete, you’re presented with a few different options. You can play a single mission, of which there are a ton (~150), or play a campaign. There are three campaigns that come with H3C -- Restoration of Erathia (the original title), Armageddon’s Blade (the expansion pack), and The Shadow of Death, a campaign that was added to a re-release of the original. Each of these campaigns has groups of missions for another ton of levels.
And if you wear all -that- out, there’s a highly-configurable random map generator.
And if you wear all THAT out, you can use the included Level Editor and Campaign Editor to make your own scenarios and campaigns.
Yes, this is simply a repackaging of older goods. It doesn’t matter, really. With this much gameplay in a box, it’s worth it.
The gameplay itself, of course, is the same thing that all Heroes fans have come to know and love. The missions range from short to day-long (and that’s in our time, not game time), and from easy to hard. There are tons of different “sides” you can be on, and you can take over cities from the other sides to get those troop types. It’s all highly entertaining, and it’s kept me amused since the original title.
