 The only TBS games I'm familiar with are the Total War series, which I love very much. Never played any of the HOMM games, so how familiar/unfamiliar would I be with this?

The strategic level is quite similar to Total War, in terms of developing your provinces - the combat is completely different. Instead of an RTS, it's a turn based hex grid tactical combat affair.

If you've played something like that and you like it/don't mind it (preferably like, there's a lot of combat in this game), give it a shot.

This is without a doubt one of the best TBS games I've played in a long time. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and find something I hate, but it hasn't happened. And the AI beat me, repeatedly, on a low difficulty setting, which is a plus in my book :v:

Also if you've never played HoMM, get your rear end over to gog.com and buy Heroes 2 and 3. If you really can't stomach the old art (I still wouldn't pass up H3 for that, it's so drat good), you could try Heroes 5 or the recent King's Bounty remake, which have a similar experience.

Awesome. I dig the Total War series for it's strategic gameplay, the actual battles were very meh to me and I would probably auto-resolve them all if I didn't get such a better result from playing them out myself.

I've never given HoMM a second glance when seeing it around, but if it's as loved as everyone indicates and has cool strategy gameplay then I'll get on it.
