Floating Across Water(Extended) - Heroes of Might and Magic IV

[You lose yourself in a trance-like day dreaming for a moment, and suddenly memories of childhood sprang to your mind] Exp + 5000.

[@fabioroppa3437]

A sudden blow of warm wind hits the back of your neck and you have a striking realization. - It's a trap! - you say, understanding the thought came too late. Before your bannermen can raise the flags, the horde of orcs have surrounded your army.

[@lucas.palhao]

You have no choice but to produce the Rod of Lightnining you got from the Northern Giants when you helped them with their inconvenience with the fairies and to summon a thunderstorm from the skies. After the orcs shot a first volley of arrows, they panic and start fleeing in all directions, half of their numbers falling dead to electrocution. Your army is mostly safe - you sigh in relief - when you feel increasing pain in the belly area - an orc arrow traverses you...

[@fabioroppa3437]

You wake up to a cold morning, feeling a salty humidity in your lips. The remaining of your army is scattered across a white sanded beach. The distant cries of pain and stench of fresh blood indicates that you haven't been out for too long. - Good! - you say to no one specifically while getting up, just to have the unbelievable pain in your stomach make you sit back again. - Stand still, m'Lord. You are lucky you are not feasting with the gods right now - you see your general approaching with a scout by his side, a lad younger than you were the first time your father presented you with a training sword - And your luck only seems to grow: Doravan here just told me the Lich's camp is close to our current position. We could reach them by the 'morrow. - The men are to be prepared when the sun hits that cliff. Leave a small garrison to protect those who are too weak to fight. Tomorrow we rid this land from that filthy bag of bones! - You say as you get up once again, the pain only making you feel more alive than ever in your life.

[@nowhere3600]

​@@fabioroppa3437 You walk for a short while speaking to the general, the gleaming sands and the gentle crash of the waves on the shore far more appreciated after your near death experience. Over the next dune, you notice a small hut standing in the sands, the waters of the sea seemingly parting around it, smoke billowing from the chimney. - Donovan reported no such hut, and he scouted this area not long ago my lord. This could be a trap? - The general says to you in a hushed tone, crouching low to the dune. Despite the pain in your stomach, you manage to match his level and ponder your position. You were just considering your options when the door to the hut opens and a silhouetted figure in the doorway beckons you over. - Well, our decision is made for us - You say to the general, standing with only a dull pain now.

Haha. I did the same thing. It's a shame that the most beautiful piece on the soundtrack "only" takes place at sea.

Здравствуйте, я фанат Homm 4 , поэтому я сделал ютуб-канал посвящённый этой игре. Но к сожалению, сейчас в Героев 4 играют не так много людей, поэтому аудитория набирается плохо). Вы не посмотрите мой канал? Ответьте пожалуйста. Если что - сразу прошу прощения за назойливость).

I Could never get bored of this masterpiece

[@womort1435]

I habe never played any Heroes of Might and Magic, and I don't recall anyone in my family playing Heroes 4, yet it's always like I know this music since I'm a kid.

[@MinecraftRick]

Paul Romero's music and Rob King's mastering does that to you.

[@kurou19]

hmm, similar music. The Wimshurst Machine - baysidewaltz juunikokki(anime) - fuushun I don't know original.

[@milat9287]

Certain Witcher melodies also use considerable chunks of Heroes 4 music as their base. I remember playing the Witcher event in Monster Hunter World, and the first cutscene I get where I play as Geralt was basically a Heroes 3 theme

[@Yann-xe2rg]

​@@milat9287 Heroes and the Witcher both used traditionnal songs as samples for their soundtrack

[@alexandrameas4436]

This is by far one of my favorite compositions of all the time. It is perfect both for work and relaxation. The only problem I have with it is that ot lasts on several minutes. It should be at least hour long ❤That is actuallly strange why so many people didn't like this game. I agree that it is not perfectly balanced, but it gave so much joy. There are many great melodies on heroes 4 but this one obviously the best.

[@blackthorne3004]

I like Heroes IV too. It has the most beautiful music of all parts (even if parts 2 + 3 also have beautiful pieces) and the stories of the campaigns are beautifully told - even if they are just text blends, they, together with the music, made an impression on me.

Nostalgia...

[@artoriasYT]

Никогда не был фаном героев, да и в общем в них особо не играл. Но именно саундтрек заставил меня познакомиться с серией! Большое спасибо Полу Ромеро за очень качественный саундтрек, и всей команде new world computing за гениальную серию игр!

[@user-kb4wl7bm7v]

этот саунд не Пол придумал. Я его даже в аниме (12 королевств и ещё какое-то) слышал. В других играх он тоже был (например, пираты карибского моря/корсары). Да и почти вся музыка из игры не авторская.. А вот темы городов, это оригинал, который сделан на крайне высоком уровне.

[@artoriasYT]

@@user-kb4wl7bm7v Чекнул инфу, вроде именно этот саунд, написал Пол Ромеро

[@user-kb4wl7bm7v]

@@artoriasYT тоже чекал, этот саунд написал Пол, но не Ромеро. Набри в яндексе "Мелодии, преследующие игроков: почему кельтские мотивы в играх часто звучат одинаково". Там подробно описано, что и как. И выдержки уже легко чекать на правдоподобность.

[@freyafanboy]

Easily one of my favorite tracks from my 2nd favorite game in the HOMM series (my number one favorite being 2) I know people trash 4 for being unbalanced and very brain-dead AI but this was easily one of the games of my childhood that I spent hours being lost in, just everything felt right to me with 4. If the AI just hadn't been so brain dead and units were a little better balanced, I feel that would have been in the top 3 easily. Ah well, something to listen to and relax with when I'm stressed out or just want to fall asleep.

@@Rizoof1 For me it worked "out of the box", I didn't have to do anything special to not have problems running it. I was thinking maybe you were running the game of of an old CD rom or something.
