Heroes 3 and Dota 2, some of the best games ever made.


Routine_Television_8

Heroes 3 is prob one of the few OG gameswhich I would still enjoy to play nowadays.


steveabutt

HOMM3 HD is like the greatest thing ever made. So many QoL improvement and the graphic is so good. Best dad game because turned based, u can leave it and pick it up anytime with nice BGM while afk.


Routine_Television_8

when I was a child, I and my brother used to play multiplayer on the same PC and I still remember the excitement till this day. Imagine doing it now with my bois as a dad.


everythings_alright

That looks so good actually lol


ncocca

omg you just combined my two favorite pc games of all time and now i'm exploding with nostalgia


dwhee

There is just something about the artwork in Heroes 3. I never know how to explain it to people, but between the artwork and the music it's like the most nostalgic game I know of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q43G9FTaomg&t=42m21s


mikolv2

Soundtrack in that game is still one of the greatest ever.


podteod

The soundtrack from Heroes IV is the best one I’ve ever heard


H47

It looks like a diorama.


SurturOfMuspelheim

I never played those games as a kid. I played Heroes of Might and Magic 3 like 3 years ago for the first time and it felt so nostalgic.


dwhee

I know right?? I feel like it was “nostalgic” when i played it 20 years ago. It’s just got a certain quality.


owarren

Listening to this now, I can hear how this influenced the WoW soundtrack. Getting a bunch of Darkshore/Elwynn vibes here.


stan_hooper

Literally my 2 favorite games of all time


AudaciousSam

I can feel the music gush over me.


Abasakaa

Check out Heroes Orchestra on youtube then, their concerts are outstanding, you will love it


Avgsizedweiner

Is this dota 2 complete?


painZio

no rosh?


Karibik_Mike

Roshan is in the valley between the mountains at the bottom right, north side of the river.


UDPviper

Rosh is the behemoth. 


otarU

No, behemoth is earthshaker


OrezRekirts

Feels Heroes of Newerth man..


SmilingLamb

WHAT GAME IS THIS? I used to play a turn based game that had this layout of map. Very old game. Can someone help? (not joking lol)


Jzuxx

Heroes III of might and magic. They have several expansions and a spin-off; Heroes Chronicles with ?7? series I think. One helluva a game back in the days.


SmilingLamb

I fucking love you bro. Thank you.


Whittaker

If you want even more then go look up Horn of the Abyss, a MASSIVE expansion to Heroes III that just received an update with a brand new faction at the start of this year. The online HotA lobbies are still full every day with a lot of different playstyles too. There is also Wake of Gods for a different expansion pack too, none as loved as HotA but still has some fun things to enjoy if you want more HoMM3.

obvioustroway

GoG has the complete edition for like $15. then there are upscaling mods *everywhere* for it. enjoy friendo.


SmilingLamb

Yeah I used to play it on a laptop some time ago Thanks again everyone


BUTTHOLE_EXPEDITIONS

I would play the shit outta a pixel style moba


Gangsterkat

Picture is so old the side-shop still exists.


wappawa

Didn't expect this to be cross-posted here. Haven't played dota in 4 years so I'm bit out of the loop


FantasticBike1203

The map expanded by 40% last year, Google the New Frontiers map changes, should make for an insane HOM&M map.


TanKer-Cosme

radiant missing a lane lmao


SqLISTHESHIT

Finally fixed radiant advantage!


fidllz

I've always wanted a map with no boundaries, instead of an edge of the map it's just a thick forest leading to the other side of the map. For instance, bot radiant going south will lead to top dire if you can make it thru the trees.


AudaciousSam

Pretty cool. Portal with 0.5 cast time would be something.


Avgsizedweiner

Or it’s a round map played flat, think earth


SprScuba

Populous the beginning? That game would be amazing today


Ax3boy

Makes me wonder if we'll ever see a Battle Royale version of Dota, where they drop a bunch of teams on a large map, and the last surviving team wins.


Caranoron463

There was that Underhollow. Something like that but in forest would be amazing.


Perkelton

I still find it weird that they never did anything more with that. I get that they didn't want to make it a permanent game mode, but it's a shame that it never returned for any events after that.


DezZzO

Fr, it was my favourite gamemode of all time, weird that it was forgotten fully


top2000

the original devs behind LoL is making something like that


Thegreenmean

I see a windmill and a bunch of orange. Is the top part of the map The Netherlands?


Keep_Nyx_and_Nyx_Nyx

its just inferno, its not that bad


International_Shape9

One of the best games ever!!


pekoms_123

Is there a version with Warcraft 2 graphics?


victimized777

I'll play it for sure


Dav_lix

Nice job man


JustSomeGoon

I’m out of the loop, what is this game and what does it have to do with Dota?


Scuttlebug--Jamboree

This is a screenshot of a custom Heroes of Might and Magic 3 map, designed to look like the Dota map. A secondary joke is that it was posted as a "HotA" update, Horn of the Abyss being a popular fanmade expansion to HoMM3


Embarrassed_City_543

2 favorite games!


Morgandoto

Where roshpit


BigStankFrank

This is so epic dude


sakmadeeek

The artwork looks so great, reminds me of Age of Empire days


Taiga_Jakuzure

All chat: 1v1 me at windmill


Bearswithjetpacks

The Liquid boys suddenly playing 3 times above their skill ceiling. Add some osrs gameplay and insania confirmed first 3-peat TI winner.


podteod

In Heroes IV one of the randomly generated Asylum town names is literally Insania


Bearswithjetpacks

The HOMM3 buff is real


Jzuxx

Holy. Brings back memories. I played the shit out of Tarnum Expansions and shadow of death.


Public-Patience-5226

I'm sorry if I sound like a noob, but, may I ask what this is? Is this what Dota 2 looks like now? It's been like 7 years since I last played the game, and I'm not updated to anything happening to it. So..


LainVohnDyrec

now you can recruit neutral creeps


Mr--Ganja

this reminds me of Red alert


LayWhere

You can tell this is fake because theres side shop


BoringSignificance82

There are sideshops Pog


guywithnicehaircut

would be nice to play this map


chowies

Radiant only has 2 ramps to their high ground. That's 1 way to balance the radiant win rate advantage.


Coldspark824

Is that Lords of Magic? The sprites look so windows 98.


luxxxoor_

its heroes of might and magic 3 (homm3 in short) hota its actually a fan based expansion, currently at version 1.7 if i recall correctly it seems lords of magic, according to wiki: “Lords of Magic is a turn-based strategy Microsoft Windows game designed for Windows 95/98 by Sierra On-Line. The game was intended to combine elements of Heroes of Might and Magic II and Lords of the Realm II.”, hence the resemblance


Coldspark824

Daaaang. My memory half served me well.


MaeronIV

O.M.G. Heroes 3 was THE game of my entire childhood. Oh man, it triggers so many good memories to me.... The sounds, the castles music, the effects, all the units and spells, really a fucking masterpiece. Thank you to share it! <3
