I forgot how much I liked the HoMM2 sprite work. I feel the dragons especially look probably more impressive than they turned out even in HoMM3.

This is my childhood.. Loved playing Heroes 2. Warlock with dragons/hydras were my favorite faction <3

Been waiting for a while for this, subbed after your FHoMM2 review, thanks for covering it!

wow, this really takes me back. Got this game for xmas 1996, like 10 days after I first got Internet. And it was all me and my friends played until 3 came along about 2 years later, a game we probably played equally as much.
I still think Heroes 3 was the better game, but know what... seeing this again, I remember why I fell in love with the series in the first place. Also I always prefered this colorful cartoonlike style over the more 3D prerendered look of 3.
I'm gonna install this. Still got my original disc somewhere...

Great video and an interesting watch! Btw there are some more QoL things you missed:
1. You can see your Hero's movement points by either right clicking them on the adventure map, their portrait to the right in the list, or anywhere you can view their portrait (castle, hero screen).
2. A really nice feature of fheroes2 is that you can pre-select a creature before moving the whole army by clicking on them before you move all - this will always leave that creature for last which is very convenient for chaining.
3. You can move all creatures in the castle to or from the garrison by using the up and down keys.

Hope this helps making the experience more enjoyable!

I'm loving the Homm2 content I hope to see more in the future!

there is a surprising lack of russian comments considering this is a heroes game.

Cool. This brings me back to the days before homm3. We had a lot of fun with homm2, but I still remember how stoked we all were about the rumors of homm3 improvements and all the beautiful early screenshots. And then, when it came out, how it actually delivered. Lost many a school night to this game.

Love your HoMM content, and I think it could be fun to see you show off more of 2 in the future! Cool to see how well this version of the game works.

I’m a HoMM3 fan but I haven’t seen much of HoMM2 tho so I’m hyped for this

[Arselpang]

HoMM 2 is the best of them all. The second installment just bring this fantasy world to life with it's lively coloring and the sprites which is phenomenal!

[theeraphatsunthornwit]

i still remember an event 20 years ago when i play this game versus my friend...

[KritoSkywaker]

You just literally awakening my childhood memories. Thank you so much. :)

[Cloud-dqmr]

Love all your Heroes content, please give us more.

I truly hope they fixed the AI by now, would love to see a new video with it. Abandoning their knight castle was a huge joke in this that would never happen in the original game.

not picking up last obelisk to see where treasure is triggers me

[zoltanpolgar]

Hi. Does it work on MAC os with an m1 chip? Which soundtracks are in the game the original ones or the new gold versions?

[Bayaz]

Have you considered playing Homm3 Succession Wars mod? Not technically finished but it’s in a pretty polished state

So, I popped open "The Clearing" in the _Heroes II Map Editor, _ and… I couldn't be more disappointed.
The Ultimate Artifact is one space to the left of the six Black Dragons. And I mean that. The "allowable radius from this location" was set to 0, so it's always *right there.*
