Those New Heroes4 Creatures

Andemagne · January 30, 2003, 19:27

box of the Gathering Storm (Heroes 4 expansion) says that the xp contains 4 new creatures. what are they?
just want to know is the xp worth the price (32€).

and does anybody know, if the second expansion, winds of war, is going to include new creatures?

I picked up the box and thought about buying it but all it seemed to add was some new scenarios and multi play which is in the patch.

As Andemagne asks has anyone bought this and is it worth the price (about £19.99 when i saw it in Game in Edinburgh) ?

Andemagne · January 30, 2003, 20:01

well, actually I allready know its not worth it 'cos multiplayer came in a patch a while ago.
but those creatures, what are they?

...will answer all your questions.

Goblin Knight...lvl 3
Sorceroress... lvl 4
gargantuan... lvl 4
dark champion... lvl 4

...none of them worth the expansion pack

especially when you consider how much H3's expansions added to the game

But I think a 2nd expansion is planned for HIV

don't know what it adds.

Watch your abbreviations!

It looks like HIV is getting an expansion - HIV as in the virus

Personally I'd go with H4.

DarkCloud: do you know what aligments these creatures represent?

DarkCloud · February 2, 2003, 16:02

just visit the website.

IIRC-

2 are order
1 is nature
and 1 is death...

Sorceress is order- I think.
Gargauntuan is natrue
GK might be death or order... cant remember correctly.
DC is death.

It's all under the H4 subsection on H3 trio- they have the full stats printed out.

Andemagne · February 2, 2003, 17:34

DC: now I found it. that site is just so d@mn hard to navigate.

have you played H4? what do you think of it?

DarkCloud · February 3, 2003, 22:40

Never played it.
Never will.
I plan to avoid it, Moo III and Civ III like the plague because they are all downgrades

The expansion pack received 2 out of 4 stars in CGM

They said that it didnt' deliver what they expected...

I wouldn't reccomend purhcasing it- I would wait until the second is packaged with it, if I was interested in the series, or not buy it at all

...but, it's your decision

civ 2 had expansoins which were just scenarios

that was the worst (And I bought it)

Hey, CiC and FW rock. The event macro language is worth the purchase price.

Ben Kenobi · February 4, 2003, 19:43

I bought CiC as well. I still enjoy playing some of the scenarios, and trying to beat each one with the weakest civ.

Two thumbs from me.

yes, H4 was a down grade, but what do you expect after such game as H3?
