If you care about this - the developer Unfrozen is russian in origin (although they are trying to make everyone forget about it), one of the investors that funded their previous game (Iratus), GEM Capital, has ties with the russian gas and oil business.
I feel like that should be the default stance. One thing that gives me hope is the early access release - there’s a chance they’re approaching the game seriously and will use it to make something great.

Songs of Conquest hits 1.0 and suddenly Ubisoft is dusting off an old franchise? Maybe I’m too cynical, but I’ll wait for the reviews first

Wow, this looks great! So many memories of Heroes 3. I was never able to bring myself to try the others, but this may bring me back if reviews are ok.

Doesnt matter, there will always be HoMaM III to play.
