Regarding Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era
I was going to write something about the new Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era game, but Reddit user Gandalf169 outdid me and I agree with him on everything. I firmly believe that the Unfrozen studio will do a great job, even though their employer is UbiSoft…

2. Castle will look better without these gold portal on it
