Yay, Finally!
I remember playing the demo.....uh.....about (probably) 11 years ago and I liked it, so this is a no-brainer for me.

Very nice game here, I never could get the old one working on newer operating systems, so this is definitely worth the 5.99$ :)

I was just about to say the upcoming queue is empty, but I see others have already done this before me.
So, next week there will be a surprise release! (I *highly* doubt that there would be a blank week without GOG noticing us about it.)

Bolek: Um... RPG? :P
Gamecard says its turn-based strategy...

Some people say it's more of an RPG than a TBS, but it IS a strategy game, complete with resource collection and army mustering, with some roleplaying possibilities.

Ois: I remember the box graphic, of a hero character riding the dinosaur critter, but nothing else about this game.

What more do you need??

I own, I Love. I have bought three copies of this game over the years, all more than GOG. However I got smart and digitized it so right now I don't need GOGs version. However if anyone wants to hit me up for a MP game I'll play :D
Edit: Question; is this 3.0 or 3.01?

According to the Readme, it's 3.01.

GOG.com: Intended as a mix between Heroes of Might and Magic and Lords of the Realm, it combines the best qualities of both series and adds improved graphics and new features of its own.

Zeewolf: Well, I liked Lords of the Realm, and I liked Heroes of Might & Magic, so I guess I'll have to find my virtual wallet...

Exactly what I was thinking. Didn't heard about the game before but Lords and Heroes mix sounds good.
I will probably buy the game later today.

A note to those who buy it "because it's like HOMM": I think the only considerable trait in common in them is the fantasy setting, otherwise it plays quite differently. (Hmmm, of the Heroes games, it's most similar to HOMM 4, as in both games, alignments have their own set of spells.)
Still, I recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy TBS games.

Wow, mind posting the patch notes? I want to know if its the beta that was leaked or the full thing. There is a fan made 3.02 - [url=http://members.iinet.net.au/~peterykwong/lomse.htm] which you can take a look at here[/url].

Thats because it'd be more correct to say its Fantasy Lord of the Realms, considering it was made by the same people and plays quite similar. ;p

This looks very much like Master of Magic. How similiar does Lords of Magic play to Master of Magic??

It's a pretty long document, so I'd rather not post it here. If you post your e-mail address, though, I can send it to you.
(Or I can post the "What the patch fixes" section.)

I haven't played much Master of Magic, but what I recall, it's like a fantasy-themed Civilization. If it is so, then no, it's not that much like Master of Magic, as here there's not so much emphasis on building buildings (even though it's an important aspect of the game).

Hmmm, do you get to capture units and use them against an enemy??
Still, given the fact that it is turn-based, I might actually pick this title up once money allows for it....

OK, it's on the Pastebin now (for a day)! Thanks for the link!
(I hope it's not law infringement... If it is, please, someone from GOG let me know and I'll remove it.)
