Wait! I came to see some random guy play a childhood game and I find my favourite historical voice! Great to see!

[@Amonimus]

Truly the game of all time, that's still withstanding to this very day

[@chadmagnus5850]

The HMM series got me into turn based strategy and combat games.

[@talanab7785]

Fabulous ! Love this game ! 🙏🤩

[@chadmagnus5850]

I loved Heroes of Might and Magick as a kid I had Heroes 2, 3, and 4. But 2 was my favorite, due to it's visuals.

[@eduardoferreiradesa5716]

Great stream. I hope one day you play the Caesar III and stream it. I would like to see how you handle some of the military scenarios :)

[@Ren_Brands]

Would love to watch more Streams of you playing this game.

[@Rastrelly]

Y play the HD edition when you can grab the Complete Edition on GOG and slap the HD engine on it. It looks better and has quite a lot of QoL improvements, plus natively supports HoTA.

Hello Metatron! Have you ever played the regular Might and Magic? I stumbled on part 2 at the video library of the townI lifed at that time. It was the SNES version. As I only knew such games for machines like Amiga or the PC I was very interested in that game, as I had no Amiga or PC at that time. So I borrowed it over the weekend. And mand was I bad. I think I didn'teven manage to accomplish a single quest. You could walk arround like in games like "D&D: Eye of the Beholder" but there was still a lot of text. But what I liked most was that every area had it's own music and I think the music was pretty good and was spot on for every situation and place. So even if I su**ed in that game I kept trying it over and over again. Years later I found out it was considered to be a difficult game, to begin with. You got punished for every mistake you did, pretty fast. 😂 Can't say I ever had so much fun with a game I wasn't good in playing.

*Outrageous again, YT deleted my very useful, totally harmless comment!* I will try again with ridiculous self-censoring. ... I did something in my webcammed videos that I might be the pioneer of, because to this day I have not seen anyone else do it: Because I primarily care about presenting the subject footage, I always ran my webcam overlay with reduced opacity so that the footage underneath could be seen. The webcam image is just me talking into the camera anyway, so it is of lesser importance, and with reduced opacity it was still visible well enough. I also doubled down on this approach and added an erase mask so that the irrelevant webcam background would be subtracted. Examples: Terraria content. The only possible downside but which depends on hardware means available is that encoding and data rate efficiency might drop a bit with such translucency effects. (But there are also people who simply use green screen, leaving only their persona visible as a crisp cutout.)

[@Dowlphin]

When you said that overlay is probably not animated because it is a PNG ... Did you know what PNG actually offers an animated subformat? It overcomes GIFs 256-color depth shortcoming.

[@supposedlygreg]

I wonder if Metatron do like games like Medieval Dynasty and Bellwright :)

[@Mackeriv]

Hey Metatron, was this supposed to be live? Or did you stream on Twitch? Nice one either way! EDIT: I haven't played this before, but it looks very reminiscent of Settlers.

[@player1_fanatic]

Yes, this was live.

[@Mackeriv]

​@@player1_fanatic Gotcha. I asked because there was no notification for it going live, only for a video being posted. That's how KZbin treated it.

[@sandrios]

as someone who has played 3 4 and 5 and infrequently watch pros play 3, it was painful to watch you play, not that it wasn't entertaining, oh, it was!

[@rickardspaghetti]

Hey, hey, Metatron. If you're interested in checking out Songs of Conquest, as someone mentioned in chat, might I recommend you to watch SsethTzeentatch's review of the game?

[@wellgaroa]

so, what ubisoft did wrong with the series?

[@player1_fanatic]

Any chance of going totally old school and playing the original King's Bounty?

[@TheProtectorate-yq7vi]

As long as I can figure out a way to stream it for sure! I only have it physical for my Sega Mega Drive.

[@player1_fanatic]

@@TheProtectorate-yq7vi Dos version through DOSBox would also work. Unfortunately, it can't be bought through GoG, so it would need to be obtained somewhere else.

[@player1_fanatic]

@@TheProtectorate-yq7vi I think the original diskette version for PC could still be found on eBay or similar. You would still need to play with DOSBox, of course.

[@MartinTowell]

There are cheap RCA and HDMI capture dongles out there. Plug it into a free USB port, plug the console into the dongle, then add the video source to OBS in the same way you add your webcam.
