I've been listening to music from the second, third and fourth parts of Homm all evening and crying. I don’t know why, but when I see something absolutely beautiful, tears appear in my eyes. Your creativity especially affects me. thank you so much for all your work, you are one of the most wonderful neoclassicists

@@user-gi8pr6rs6v Thank you for your kind words. I'm very happy that my melodies can touch your heart.❤️🙏🏽

Me too men. Just crying out of nostalgia hitting hard. Beautiful, beautiful songs. Thank you so much. ❤

Thank you for "Floating Across Water"! Best of the best even after all this years

Did you take inspiration from some existing Irish/Celtic samples for the score? I recall running into a very similar track in The Witcher a few years ago. Regardless, thank you for your work. Your soundtrack was a sizeable part of my childhood. I always have the installers of III and IV installed on my computer and reinstall one or both of them once every several years. I just reinstalled III two weeks ago and have burnt so much time after work that I am already considering removing the game after this week .

It does y, sadly the game was so so, as a Homm-game the third is the master, but music wise nr4 has the best :)

@@Elchupanibres 4th heroes only downside was of unclear postion of your army with some bad model rest is soo good

good take

Entire HoMM series has fantastic music (more or less same 2 guys are to thank for that). I can't really put 1 ahead of the others.

How come I never played these games? The music seems very high quality.

Amen. Best fantasy campaigns i've ever seen

true that. HoMM 4 is heavily underrated

I agree

And the best of those tracks are just Irish music samples.

@@mitingant thank the goat paul anthony romero for that

"Rough gem" is undeserved praise. The only good thing about the game (but that part was VERY good) was the beautiful music. Heroes 5 was so much better at everything except the music and yet that game too had great music.

@@somedudeok1451 I hate the art direction past Heroes IV, which is the main reason Heroes V is the last one I've played, and I haven't really played that one too much either. :(

Speaking from my soul mate.

Couldn't agree more. That matches my whole HoMM experience as well. A more peaceful sojourn into a fantasy world that feels like an escape not...another stressful experience lol

@@direwolf00 You are so right. Spot on if I may say. I couldn't agree more.

💖

it has fairy tale vibes

Wanted wright the same. Thanks)

That’s so sweet, the music of these games would take me to so many places as a child…

@@tommyr5621 I know bro, the fact that this music had such effects on us as kids is very telling. Very powerful compositions.

Yes he arranged the samples like a genius. You can often hear songs that use the same samples on tv or in other games from that time, and they mostly suck

TBH it's kind of incredible make a soundtrack this memorable with an extremely limited timeframe to work and having to use existing samples by necessity. Romero is remarkably skilled as a composer to make it sound this good in those circumstances.

Ah so that's where the bagpipe sample from early Fairy Tail episodes comes from

this is a fair list but homm 4 is still 2nd best game in the series

that is an awesome idea...how to make this happen????

Heroes 3 OST is available on vinyl

@@MrLothlorien123 I have no clue 😔

@@patrickhatten8450 true, in fact I started playing H3 shortly before H4 came out. And during my campaign run for H3, I only opted for gold and never experience when stumbled on treasure chests. Because getting the unit earlier will allow u to win most battles which consequentially yield exp. I did the same strategy in H4 only to find that a level 20 fully combat skilled hero can solo 5 black dragons and an archmage can raid a castle all by herself. You will have to consider the resource and exp balance more and there's more to the game than building collecting and raiding.

I have never got to the point, why so many fans hate homm4... Comparing with homm 6,7 and even 5th part , homm4 are much better

@@epoch933 no

@@ElenaSin100 yes

@@epoch933 This stems from HOMM3 where the gameplay could be much more min-maxed, competitive and specialized, especially the battles. HOMM3 battles were 2D sprites on a grid, where if you knew what you were doing you could beat surmounting odds by tactics like 1-stacking. This is absent in HOMM4 due to an urge to introduce 3D and an isometric view, which looks OK (although every humanoid moves like it's about to take a dump) but introduces a lot of chaos and unpredictability into the battles. One might say - yeah, that's how battles look like, chaotic. But if you're used to HOMM3 surgical precision of battles HOMM4 is quite a shocker. And then there are some questionable decisions like - you have to choose between types of creatures after lvl 1 - units can roam the map without a hero but cannot capture buildings - hero can roam the map on his own and is an active participant of the battle, which means, towards lategame, a stack of black dragons will just munch on your carefully raised, painstakingly developed spellcasting hero and you're fkd. But overall I fell in love with the game, perhaps thanks to this beautiful music. I feel like a remaster, that uses the same music, map mechanics but updated 3D models and grid based combat could be potentially be a bestseller. Later installments felt too Warcrafty to me and I never played them.

@@XEyedN00b well, the diversity of creatures after the first level gives you some kind of chose to make according to your tactics. The same thing we see in 7th part and is pretty OK. hero, who takes part in battles - rather questionable perhaps, but interesting. War is war - heroes may die)) Actually, I found only one really big problem- the spell of creating an illusion. You can't do anything counter it - rather disbalansed thing. Roaming creatures are shocking, but... you know, I like some roaming every turn - the world lives no matter you do) And of course music. It is breathtaking. Sorry for my English, hope you understand me))

gra niestety nie ale jest dużo lepsza niż 6 i 7 ale soundtrack dominuje każdą inną gre w serii

@@bartoszkonopka1114 ja osobiście lubię 6, ale soundtrack z 4 jest naprawde wybitny

@@maksymmm0303 6 dla mnie ma jeden ogromny problem aby sprzedać lepiej dlc z kompletnie niczego dodali postaci Sandro i Craga którzy nie mają swojej prezencji z 3

Zdecydowanie najlepsze wspomnienia mam z gry w czwórkę. Piąta część była cudownym odnowieniem gry, wspaniały dobór aktorów głosowych w polskiej wersji, jednostki i miasta wszystkie wyglądały świetnie i kazda frakcja miala swoj wlasny styl. Trójkę doceniam ale może młody trochę jestem (01 rocznik), to aż tak mnie nie ciągnie do niej. Jesli sie przyczepic to w czworce miasta same w sobie sa bardzo niedorobione, kazdy model miasta to kwadrat, brakuje frakcji demonów. Księga zaklęć zdecydowanie najbardziej mi sie podoba w czworce jednak. O mojej opinii przeważa historia postaci w kampaniach, tak dużo czytania ale jak ktos chce sie wciagnac w gre to bardzo przyjemna jest droga praktycznie z kazda dostepna postacia. Czworka artystycznie troche odpada z tylu, ale najlepiej moim zdaniem wciaga w swiat fantastyki

Zgadzam się z Tobą w 100 poza faktem że można na każdym sprzęcie grać w 3 nie rozumiem kultu 3 wychowałem się na czwórce i uważam że 4 jest najlepsza zaraz później 5

some of these songs are based on famous irish folk songs and a lot of games/movies/etc have adopted them, so that is the explanation. I guess the originals date back hundreds of years, not sure, would have to do some digging to find the full details

it is also used in Lineage II

😂😂😂😂😢

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g-CchdZnmsfYqqs.html

Both used the same sound library. The Heroes devs didn't have time or money to do a completely original soundtrack :(

except this game precedes the Witcher by almost a decade.

Its a folk standard, I believe it appears in some other games and even movies. They are basically all "cover" versions of classic ballads. I think its Irish or something like that.

@@JaneXemylixa it have been taken from some celtic culture music

why not? :o

I think they're awesome

Some reptile vibe. Lion features are more classical
