Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia is a turn-based strategy game and the third installment of the Heroes of Might and Magic series. The game's story is first referenced throughout Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven and takes place before Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor. The player can choose to play through six different campaigns telling the story, or play in a scenario against computer or human opponents.

Kit's verdict · 9.4/10
One more turn has never been so dangerous: a fantasy strategy game that still has no real rival.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Eight distinct factions
- Perfect hot-seat multiplayer
- Huge map editor and fan scene
Not so much
- The AI is easy to exploit
- Big maps drag in the late game
Play it if anyone who loves turn-based strategy with a fantasy coat of paint.
Skip it if players who want real-time action or a strong story.

Tips
Play it better
- Build a second, cheap hero early just to collect resources and ferry troops to your main hero.
- Rush the Town Hall and City Hall to fund everything else.
- Learn Wisdom early so your main hero can pick up Level 4 and 5 spells like Town Portal and Armageddon.
- Logistics and Pathfinding look boring but let your hero cover far more ground per turn.
- Visit stat-boosting map buildings like the Tree of Knowledge and Arena with your main hero only.
- Let weak creature stacks wait so your strong stacks act first in a turn.
- Use the Hill Fort to upgrade creatures away from home.
