King's Bounty was amazing. I thought this was an expansion. Looks like it is and isn't. I have no clue what's going on. It's $35.99. PURCHASING.
Edit: Oh balls, they're calling it a sequel. I thought it was an expansion. :( Never finished King's Bounty :(

That princess doesn't look all that armored at all.

KB was kind of a mess, I thought. It did make me want to replay HOMM3 again though.

Too... many... games.
I never played KB but I heard lots of good things about it, do I need to play the first to get this one?
Edit: By "get" I mean story or mechanics-wise.

She's an NPC in the first one but I doubt you'll miss much story-wise as this game is set in a different world. |

Is there any difference between the original and Armored Princess? I'm already bored of Armored Princess and I doubt I'll play it again once I've finished it.

If you like Heroes of Might and Magic-style turned-based combat get it.

That's why I got it, haven't fired either up yet, though. The art style is on the border of what I can deal with. I did grab a couple Disciples 2 games, because I love the art style. Now it's a toss-up which to play after I finish off HoMaMV (got the expansions from the steam sale).

Yeah, I've been fighting them with the original game since I bought it last week. Crashes at anywhere from 1 to 15 minutes, but it's a hard crash to desktop. Tried running in XP compat mode, all kinds of display tweaks... nothing. Forums seem to indicate rolling back drivers to May of 2009 seem to work.  |

If you can't get your game to even function on my computer that was built in December 09, you've massively failed as a developer. I'll eat the $11, and never buy anything they ever make again. |

On the flip side, I've never had one single crash from either of these games. They're both quite good.

Is this Kings Bounty the same kings bounty that was on the Sega Genesis way back when?

I am not really sure you can blame a company for incompatibility with a driver that comes out after the game was released. Sounds more like ATI or Nvidia screwed up if it worked with an older driver.
This is not the same Kings Bounty that was on the Sega Genesis, but its successor.

HoMaM seemed cluttered and dirty to me, after 3. This looks like the kind of thing I wished HoMaM was, and I liked the Genesis version back in the day.

I tried setting this up again with the new DirectX February update and reloading all the NVIDIA drivers. It still crashed on higher settings, but when I dropped the resolution one step down and got rid of anti-aliasing, it runs without breaking now. I get slowdowns on looting gold and banners though for some reason.
I have been having fun with the game, although it is pretty much like Heroes. However, it doesn't include some of the ridiculous boring flaws in that system (ie - turns).

How does this compare to HOMM?

Its Homm without city management and static mob spawns instead of AI enemy kingdoms.
Basically its a roleplaying game instead of a Turn based strategy game, with the same tactical fight screen.

Yep, that's pretty much it. You run around killing things for xp, grabbing gold and buying soldiers. You level up after the turn-based tactical fights, and you get quests from everybody. |
