Smarter than Solmyr

There's a nice guy named Jactari who, quite kindly, has built us all an amazing HOMMK information database and battle calculator.

Just thought you'd all want to know. ;)

North American Serves Launched

Hail friends and enemies! After 36 years in development, most of it secret and buried deep under ground with the truffles in France, Ubi has finally decided to unleash the mighty HOMM Kingdoms on North American shores. Amazing! We hope to dust off our old reference info and start keeping you up to d...

Re: What's up with HOMMK?

Hey Zen, good to see you again.

So just France still eh? Too bad. And is the GM going to be voluntary? I have the feeling Ubi is going to pull the plug on this game.

What's up with HOMMK?

Anyone have any idea what's happening with HOMMK these days? When I head to the official site all I see is an empty discussion forum and a message that the game isn't available in my country (Canada). All the other fan sites seem pretty dead -- no activity from The Dominion, nothing new at the HOMMK...

Civony makes a splash

It has only been around for a week, but browser-based strategy game Civony is already looking pretty good. At first blush, the game offers robust trading, questing, building, chat, tutorial and alliance systems. Armies are lead into combat by heroes who can be customized with a decent number of rewa...

26 Reasons HOMMK will kick browser-based ass

There's no doubt that HOMM:K will be better than the competition. Not just because it's HOMM, but because other browser-based massive online strategy games are not the most exciting games out there. Just consider the leading two examples: http://hommk.3deified.net/img/traviandude.png Travian: Lets p...

Editorial -- talking to a brick wall

As another three months have passed since our dear Yadien confirmed that HOMMK was in "technical beta testing" , gamers once again feel like they are talking to a brick wall. Enthusiastic acolytes of all things HOMM have run out of rumors and gossip, are tired of guessing at features, and ...

Will HOMM:K be mobile friendly?

Here is a topic that I thought deserved a poll . We've heard the developers claim that HOMM:K won't be tied to any specific platform or web browser because the entire game is being written in Java and Ajax (rather than Flash or Active X or otherwise). This is a beautiful thing because it allows perv...

Re: Welcome back to The Kingdom

Thanks Eru! Most everyone has given up on HOMM:K but I'm going to hang in there until they tell me to go home and never come back.

Stay tuned, I plan to keep working on this theme to make it more HOMM-ish.
