Humans aren’t much different. 99.9% of what we create is just a remix of existing parts/ideas. It’s why people spend 12-20 years pre-training on all the existing knowledge in the field they’re going to work in.

I know GOG has a launcher, but I haven’t seen it in a long time. The links on my desktop just go straight to the game executables.

If you’re going to buy HOMM3, get it from GOG. The steam version only has the base game, the GOG version has all the expansions. I’d also recommend downloading the HD Mod - it’s still being updated with new features. And there’s Horn of the Abyss - a fan-made expansion complete with new town types and some things that were started but never made it into the official expansions.

Heroes (of Might and Magic) is a turn-based strategy game. You start with a hero and a castle, and you objective is usually to take over all the castles on the map. The computer, or other players, will be trying to do the same.

One of the craziest things, is that the game is almost 25 years old, but through the “HD Mod” it’s still getting regular updates, and there’s still annual world championships.
