i think they differ a great deal from HOMM. Majesty and Age of Empires are
real-time strategy games, if i am not mistaken... they are more like
Starcraft or Warcraft. HOMM is not real-time, it is a pure strategy game, a
bit like Civilization or Master of Orion.

>Anyone want to comment on HOMM2 vs. HOMM3?

i found HOMM3 to simply be better than HOMM2 on every front. better
graphics, more critters, more spells, more towns... pretty sweet.
