[@PAULanthonyROMERO]

Thank you for posting our music. Rob King and I are happy that people still listen to this OST. Paul Romero

[@1239the]

Thank you so much for your work! The fact people still listen to these scores years and years after release are testament to your skills.

[@craffaele]

@paulanthonyromero is such an amazing man!

[@TheGielnik]

I love you Paul.

[@PAULanthonyROMERO]

Gielnik Thank you so very very much. And I really really appreciate that you take the time to write and you share the love. Love is what saves the world

[@meh23p]

Thanks for the memories. The Heroes 2 soundtrack is one of the best video game soundtracks of all time. The HoMM soundtracks made the games into what they are.

[@pepelaugh4091]

Still relaxing to this in 2023. Phenomenal soundtrack.

[@FanaticalRanger]

Anyone else miss the good old Heroes days?

[@SooZoodimp]

why? :D I am still playing since I was child and I will till I die!

[@FanaticalRanger]

i cant really play Heroes 3 and 4 atm because it doesnt like my PC and refuses to work in anything more than like 480x480 or something akin to that

Did the same bro, now I have Heroes III, IV and VII installed lol. And I am keeping the first two :)

[@JeanBaptisteEmanuelZorg]

Deinstalling it is better tho.

[@NinjaSushi2]

Good man.

[@NinjaSushi2]

Why would you want to uninstall Heroes 4? It was supposed to be the greatest Heroes made but 3DO ran out of money and went under. 3DO forced New World Computing to push out an unfinished project in hopes of floating revenu and keeping the company from going under. For an unfinished project it's damn amazing. I keep hoping some community mod will go in and complete it to make it what it was once supposed to be.

[@tumertansu]

HOMM series (2-3-4) is why I have become a game composer myself and this theme might be the best of all... This is my childhood here that's still alive hopefully somewhere in my music. Bless you Paul Romero!

[@mikfhan]

Back when Elder Scrolls Oblivion was still new, I made a custom mod replacing the music with Heroes IV. If the music can compete with Jeremy Soule and Elder Scrolls, it can compete with anything! Just riding along on the horse, listening to 7:51 in my dorm room. So many years ago now. The very best.

[@alinclaudiu4754]

Wow, that's amazing! It must have been a great experience. I tried the same "trick" with HoMM 5 music while playing Elden Ring. And while I felt that the music was far superior than Elden's, it somehow didn't fit :(

[@kirilllemazin9872]

I think 12:10 is missing. This is the beginning of some other song. That is not Mountain Song

[@Standrdrog]

Highly arguable. HoMM 3 was a GREAT game and probably the best game in it's years but HoMM 4 was also a great game! Best soundtrack in the series, even gameplay was refreshingly great! Whenever I met someone that thought HoMM 4 sucks, I wanted to punch his eyes out. It has it's charms without a doubt. Spent as much hours playing it as I did on HoMM 3.

[@Popebug]

HoMM 4 was too busy trying to fix everything that wasn't even broken, it feels more like a weird experimental mod than an actual Heroes game.

[@dzamija922]

I prefer 4 lol

[@79grendel]

I always loved HOMM4 more than HOMM3. Mostly due to the soundtrack. The best in the history of a video games.

[@Sk0lzky]

I loved the core idea with novel mechanics, it's a shame they botched the realisation. The music though - definitely the best in the series!

[@Acacius1992]

Unpopular Opinion... but i realy could not warm up with HoMM3 I tried it back then on steam a long time but simply... i dont know it was not my gusto. Maybe i simply have played way to much of 2 and 4, the games i still love to this day

[@hristaquis]

There is literally no way to put to words how much I love this music. I shed a tear each time I listen to this. Thank you.

[@Standrdrog]

Exactly! I think Heroes 4 had it's own way of winning our gaming hearts, starting with soundtrack.

[@capcom23]

i hated the limited castle upgrade. most of the scenarios didn't have the full upgrade. You were limited in your choice

[@alienc]

rest now my old and young and tired warriors.. :( for the rest of the day and tomorrow will come! and then we will bathe in the glory that is our childhood ^^ love this soundtrack it was truly one of the most beautiful :(

Wspomnienia... teraz to tylko Majnkrafty a klasyki są zapominane... Stare pokolenie, wyeleminujmy gimbusów i pokażmy im prawdziwe KLASYKI z wyśmienitą muzyką...

[@frostburn195]

Magda Kowalska Osobiście grywam w Minecrafta, głównie dla zabawy z przyjaciółmi i trybu kreatywnego, gdzie można zawsze coś fajnego pobudować :) Ale kij z nim. Heroes of Might and Magic, tak jak Age of Empires czy Diablo, to dla mnie gry dzieciństwa. Wychowałem się na tym, a ta muzyka budzi we mnie nostalgię i tęsknotę za tamtymi czasami. Jest po prostu piękna, od razu przywodzi na myśl kampanie, które były chyba drugim najlepszym elementem czwartej części - historie Emilii Nighthaven, Gauldotha Pół-martwego czy Lorda Lysandera na zawsze pozostaną mi w pamięci. Nie mam co ukrywac, czwóreczka to moja ulubiona część Heroes'ów i gram w nią do dziś, to po prostu cudo.

[@ylaya5566]

Kero Ciiii, ładna jest :) moja ulubiona AP

Takie same komentarze będą padały za kilka lat z ust tych gimbusów. Świat się zmienia w którym świat gier zmienia się naprawdę szybko a co za tym idzie trendy. Kiedyś też były chujowe gry, dzisiaj są i będą chujowe gry co nie zmienia faktu że muzyczka a nawet sam heroes IV bardzo mi się podobał :P

This soundtrack reminds me of The Witcher 3 soundtracks. Simply beautiful.

[@Standrdrog]

I agree with the heroes balance part as well as the lack of creature upgrades. That was the biggest slap in the face for all those HoMM fans. Nonetheless, the game still kicked ass in a whole lot of other things. Might as well say it had its hidden charms. :)

[@sziklamester1244]

I liked all heroes games and from the 2 the music vastly improved. Nostalgic, romantic and catchy. I like many game themes and usually the 1990-2015 game songs were great usually the old era games. It brings a lot of memories and still there are games in 2021 with great musics but I do prefer the ones what made my childhood. Sad to see how many games were forgotten or just not popular enough when there had masterpieces in all genres. Still there are few person who bashing me for listening video game music because in their eyes this is just kid's stuff and not real music.... Luckily these musics catch my sould and in some bad days it brigthen me. Wish long long live to this song and hopefully still some plays the game aswell. :)

Right. Let's settle this. Not too long ago me and my girlfriend played H5 together. I have arrived at the conclusion that it doesn't matter which game you play, it's all about who you play it WITH. All the games are fantastic masterpieces, we just prefer certain games bacause of what gave us our individual good memories. I can reminice about playing H3 with my neighbor when i was seven all I want, but someone else has probably had the same experience with H4, and that's fine. All of 'em are good
