  1. Thanks, I didn’t know about some of those.

    Conquerors of fate actually looks more like HoMM to me than Olden Era because of the realistic art style.

    I’ve tried the Broken Alliance demo before, but I remember the UI was very confusing to navigate. They also don’t plan to add a Map Editor so it’s only campaign-focused, which means once you complete it, there is no point in ever playing again.
