Might and Magic IV: The Mandate of Heaven

[BillyBarktree]

Hey there

I don't know if anyone here is familiar with the old Might and Magic IV: The Mandate of Heaven, but I've started working on such a map.

I try to stay as close to the real game as possible, but still making it a 4 player team RPG map, so that you control 1 hero each. And of course make it possible for 1 player to play solo with 4 heroes . I've found a way to effectively fit all 15 maps/lands into the map, and I'm almost finished with New Sorpigal. If you find this interesting, have ideas or would like to help somehow in the map, please say so. I'm particularly interested in help with inventory/skills system, as I don't quite know what to do with that.

I've uploaded what I've done so far. (pretty much only New Sorpigal terrain)

I just started making the map, so... There's just a little bit of terrain (New Sorpigal), if you want to check it out.

Hahaha You can .. try make a map like that .. in Starcraft 2 maybe But meh, just started, and the point is, really, to create a Might and Magic 6 map in Warcraft, where you can play with friends.

- terrain is very empty
- you used crappiest tileset, lordaeron summer
- crates can't be interacted
- only one building has anything to sell, but you get nothing
- isn't Sorpigal one of names for towns in homm3?
- only 4 units to fight
- those people in inventory cannot be used

 

[BillyBarktree]

Hehe, I just posted this to show you the terrain so far, and to tell you that I had started working on this So yeah, nothing works yet, because I haven't started working on all that stuff I will post updates soon, when I make all the buildings interactive and stuff, working on it atm. But Sorpigal... Don't know, just know that the starting town in Might and Magic 1 was called Sorpigal and that the starting town in Might and Magic 6 is called New Sorpigal

But I don't know if I really want to add too many doodads, because I'm trying to get the feeling of Might and Magic 6 with as little difference as possible, but we'll see.

Haha No, they aren't alike at all in gameplay... But the story is connected. (Why do you think it's called Heroes of Might and Magic? ) Might and Magic 6-8 and Heroes of Might and Magic 1-3 all involve the same world, Enroth.

Lol.. i've always wondered why it was called Heroes of Might and Magic... when none of my heroes are in it lol jk.. but ya i guess that makes sense
