Might and Magic (Video Game)	comment	Might and Magic is a Science Fantasy cycle of first person party-based PC RPGs, later spawning some spinoffs such as the Heroes of Might and Magic Turn-Based Strategy games.Jon Van Caneghem created the first game in 1986, and it became the first series to seriously compete with the Wizardry and Ultima franchises amongst role-players. The first five games were introduced under his New World Computing company, before they were bought out by 3DO and Executive Meddling began.The games' definitive trait has always been Science Fiction elements beneath the surface of an otherwise Standard Fantasy Setting game.note Up until X, which, due to taking place in the same standard fantasy setting as Ubisoft's Heroes games, is by the developers' statements prohibited from veering from the canon by having science fiction elements. Usually, the climax reveals that ancient Precursors are responsible for lots of what is going on in the world, and the Big Bad is a robot or an alien. Indeed, as it overlaps with the Heroes of Might and Magic series, it turns out that Devils from Heroes III are actually aliens. How Unscientific!.In terms of gameplay, Might and Magic games are all centered around first-person party-based Dungeon Crawling in an open world. The games heavily emphasize combat and puzzle-solving over story and character interaction. Dialogue is kept to a minimum.The first game of the series had a rather non-linear plot for its time (though it lacked most elements of the modern Wide-Open Sandbox). Its maps were flat areas made of discrete tiles, and all movement happened in the four cardinal directions, one ten-foot "step" at a time. The engine used sprites to simulate a 3D view, and combat was turn based.In the first two games, the action was set on VARN (Vehicular Astropod Research Nacelle) and CRON (Central Research Observational Nacelle), flat, square worlds orbiting in space. The third moved the action to a "round" (actually toroidal) planet, Terra. M&M IV and V were set on XEEN (Xylonite Experimental Expansion Nacelle), another flat platform, with a twist: the world of M&M V was the Darkside of XEEN, literally the flip side of the world from number four. Installing both IV and V on a single computer combines both games into World of Xeen which allows your party to travel between the two sides of XEEN and complete an extra final quest to merge them into a round world. All these games have the player pitted against Sheltem, a Planetary Guardian constructed by the Ancients, who went rogue and decided to protect his homeworld by blowing up all other worlds. Sheltem is finally defeated in M&M V, bringing an end to that whole plot arc.M&M VI started a new story arc in the series. It switched to a different kind of graphics: instead of flat tiles it became a true 3D world, with 2D sprites for characters and monsters, and the option of real-time combat. (Think Doom, but with large outdoor areas.) The setting moved to the world Enroth, where Heroes I and Heroes II had taken place, joining the continuity more tightly with that of Heroes of Might and Magic.The plot of this one concerned an invasion of the world by Devils. Said Devils turn out to be alien enemies of the Ancients, and defeating them involved unearthing some of the Ancients' Lost Technology. Along the way this plot traded points back and forth with the Heroes games. For instance, Archibald Ironfist, an evil mage defeated in the canonical ending to Heroes II, was freed in Might and Magic VI, returned in Might and Magic VII and helped free a character who then showed up in an addon to Heroes III.Might and Magic VII was effectively more of the same (and was tied very closely to Heroes III and Might and Magic III). So was Might and Magic VIII, with a rapid scale-back to fantasy rather than science fiction and a nod to the pre Might and Magic VI games, making the party consist of on-the-road changeable crew members ranging from a single person to five, and the darker, more mysterious and exotic continent of Jadame as opposed to the knightly Enroth or light High Fantasy Erathia. But you could have dragons, vampires, trolls and minotaurs in the party in VIII, so this makes it cool.Might and Magic IX almost happened, but what we got instead was such that many fans wish they hadn't even bothered. The same goes for a number of failed spinoffs, such as the action-RPG Crusaders, the King's Bounty remake Quest for the Dragon Bone Staff, and the Counter-Strike clone Legends. It was set on Axeoth, the same planet as Heroes IV, but on a different continent with no story connections.Heroes of Might and Magic V represented a complete reboot of the series after Ubisoft bought the rights from the bankrupt 3DO, with a new developer (Nival Interactive), and taking place in a new, purely fantasy-based world called Ashan with no ties to previous games. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic is a first-person hack & slash action game that takes place in the same world as Heroes V.Heroes of Might and Magic V was eventually followed by the Gaiden Game Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes and Might & Magic Heroes VI, but there were no further RPG Might and Magic games in the new continuity in the style of Might and Magic I-IX...at least, until mid-March 2013, when Might and Magic X: Legacy, set on Ashan, was officially announced. The game was officially released in January 2014.Might and Magic: Duel of Champions, an Allegedly Free Trading Card Game that uses the mythos and factions, was released in 2012.The In Name Only online PvP game Might and Magic: Showdown was released on Steam Early Access on the January 20, 2017. After failing to attract a playerbase, it was cancelled and the servers were shut down six months later.Games (Main Series): Might and Magic I: The Secret of the Inner Sanctum (1986) Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World (1988) Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra (1990) Might and Magic IV: Clouds of Xeen (1993) Might and Magic V: Darkside of Xeen (1993) Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven (1998) Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor (1999) Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer (2000) Might and Magic IXnote its working subtitle was Writ of Fate, and as the subtitle was only removed for unknown reasons shortly before release, and every other game in the series has one, IX is occasionally still referred to with it (2001) Might and Magic X: Legacy (2014)

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_10f5b375	comment	"Get Back Here!" Boss: The Boss of the Battle of Karthal stage, the boss is Markus Wolf, who flees when he sees you. You have to fight your way past an army of Mooks and two other Bosses before you finally corner him; when he finally fights you, he'll collapse with one hit, and your mission is completed.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_1235f055	comment	Dirty Coward: Marcus Wolf spends most of his boss fight fleeing, leaving his guards to do the actual fighting. He then threatens to kill Ann Morgan once you have him cornered, however she manages to escape so he flees once more. When you finally catch him the battle is over after a single hit. If you have DLC installed and didn't finish him off there, you can take him away from his cell in Fort Laegaire as a hireling, but once Lev and Orna arrive to your help, he backstabs Rosalie and tries to escape with one of his griffins. It does not end well for him. Rosalie thankfully survives.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_127027b1	comment	Shop Fodder: In III, Jewelry, Ancient or otherwise. It's only purpose is to be sold. Because of a mechanics change in IV and Vnote unlike III, accessories in IV/V do not receive AC bonuses from their materials, so that Obsidian Belt you found does nothing but fill a slot, most accesories are completely worthless other than for a few dozen coins. Gems in the later games, from VI onward. They cost a fortune, take very little space in your inventory (usually only 1x1 square) and they cannot be enchanted, so the sole reason for their existence is to be sold for a quick buck (the games themselves even tend to lampshade it). Gems in the earlier games were used as currency and to power certain spells.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_137f2d7	comment	Card-Carrying Villain: Many Deyjan characters act like this, such as William Setag (the NPC who promotes Crusaders to Villains, quite fittingly), and, most surprisingly, Kastore. In III, Kastore had Neutral alignment (unlike Maximus and Dark Shade, who were labeled as Evil), but Kastore is the one who acts the most like a stereotypical villain, complete with Evil Laugh after you return from Colony Zod (and in the final cutscene).

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_13d7a65e	type	The Artifact
Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_13d7a65e	comment	The Artifact: In the previous game, you needed to have at least 50 Personality in order to unlock Grandmaster Merchant. Back then, it made gameplay sense because the only one who could reach that level was the Cleric, whose Personality was their main attribute. However, in this game, it is only the Dark Elf who can reach Grandmaster Merchant, but unlike the Cleric, the Dark Elf has no gameplay use for Personality (Personality determines spell points for Self casters like Clerics, whereas spell points for Elemental casters like Dark Elves are determined by Intellect; of course, storywise it makes sense that personal charm helps with haggling). Fortunately, this can be circumvented by equipping your Dark Elf with Personality-boosting items, getting the Grandmaster Merchant, then removing said items and replacing them with the previous gear. The Hammerhands spell. Since the Unarmed and Dodging skills were removed from the final product (or, rather, no class could learn it), the Hammerhands spell (which was only useful to those using Unarmed) was completely useless.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Not only is the party full of traditionally evil species like vampires, dark elves, trolls and minotaurs, and the Necromancer class is substituted for previous games' Sorcerer class, but also the Grey-and-Grey Morality is darker for "both" sides of The Alliance the player needs to set up. Even the "good" races and characters of the earlier games took a level in evil combined with Motive Decay. The towns and their surroundings are even more harmful than in VI. Charles Quixote, the harmless crazy kind paladin who rode along with you to kill a dragon and save an innocent woman, suddenly has become a downright murderous, sadistic dragon slayer with a financial interest in Garrote Gorge. He not only kills dragons for hides and other parts, but also to enslave their children and murders their parents before their eyes. Sandro is as Sandro does, though now he seems to be solely interested in destroying the Church of the Sun, he still mass murders innocents in the skeleton converter and clearly has sadistic plans for a prisoner youth. If he becomes a member of the alliance, he however provides valuable insight in your quests to avert world-ending disaster. The Church of the Sun is clearly implied to be corrupt, and quite evil in their own and committing vices behind closed doors. They also have a strong Knight Templar streak, which isn't actually new (it was flaw implied for them in VII) but makes for a darker and edgier setting with the Church of the Sun as the primary Light-aligned faith around instead of their more reasonable Path of Light offshoot like in VII. Two of the alliances you have to make to fight the Destroyer are choices between two mutually exclusive options: either the Priests of the Sun or the Necromancers, and either the Dragons or the Dragon Hunters. Thanks to this trope and Gray-and-Grey Morality, neither is explicitly designated the Good choice, though players trying to be as close to "Good" as possible generally side with the Priests of the Sun (since siding with the Necromancers means letting the skeleton transformer continue operation and making all the vampires able to walk in the day) and the Dragons (since the Dragon Hunters want to exterminate and enslave their entire species and kidnapped the dragon leader's egg, which you return to him for the alliance quest; the Dragons are brutal and merciless in their revenge, but it's hard to blame them). There is also the Cataclysm itself and the game doesn't refrain from showing or telling you it claimed many lives. Whether you trek through the flooded minotaur city Balthazar's Lair or visit the troll town of Rust where half the village was burned down, you can feel the hanging threat of world-ending disaster that was somewhat lacking in VI. The elemental planes are also extremely hostile, though their denizens say they're usually quite peaceful.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_16972b3c	comment	Peninsula of Power Leveling: II: The Black Bishop of Battle. With proper use of Disc-One Nuke technology such as the circus or the sewage fountain and skill potions, it's possible to beat the Black Ticket Triple Crown at a relatively low level. Once you've done that, releasing the Bishop from his prison in Luxus Palace Royale earns each party member several levels worth of XP each time he's released, which is a fast road to real power. Once the Black Bishop stops giving appreciable XP, you're probably ready for the Cuisinarts. There's a spot on the world map with a fixed encounter with three of these Optional Bosses in Mook Clothing, and if you're prepared to beat them, you can get millions of XP per battle. Combining this with the various methods of farming up your attributes, you'll rapidly ascend to the necessary level of godhood to finish the game.

If you talk to Nicolai, he says that his uncle - as in, Archibald - knows that spell, but releasing him from the curse that turned him to stone requires something called the Third Eye, and he doesn't know where it is. Fortunately, Roland's letter in the preface to the instruction manual mentions it's "in the well". (There are actually four wells around Castle Ironfist, but checking them all shouldn't take longer than five minutes. Note that the Third Eye isn't actually there until you ask Nicolai about it.)

The Temple of Bark in V, they have a temple where they kidnapped a woodland sprite in addition to other captives. They are a cult of orcs who worship a tree god who demands blood sacrifice. The Cult of Baa is the biggest example, an Apocalypse Cult apparently founded by the Kreegan to use as front, which plays a big role in VI, but becomes The Remnant in VII. In X there's the Cult of the Wrecker; according to one NPC, this cult worships a dark and twisted aspect of one of the Dragon of Water (most worshippers of that Dragon are benign).

You can still use scrolls or wands you've picked up to cast spells belonging to those schools in a more limited fashion on either path, however. Subverted with elemental magic schools and schools of self-magic. There are classes that can learn both, but they can't achieve Grandmastery in either, thus the Grandmaster spells or spells at Grandmaster potency from both subsets of schools are again mutally exclusive. For this reason it's better to have two specialist casters (Cleric and Sorcerer).

It probably helps that your involvement wasn't that central - the tensions between Kastore and Archibald was there before you showed up - especially not in the Light path, and that if one did the Dark path, one also helped arrange Archibald's back-up plan in case he was deposed.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_1994ba0b	comment	If you see a robot or computer in this game, rest assured it's an evil thing that's going to try to kill you. Unless its name is Corak. Or the Dragon Pharoah. Or Meliannote The apparent Guardian of Enroth. He is a stationary computer, and damaged when we meet him, so he is less active on the good front than Corak. Escaton plays around with it: he does exactly what his creators want him to do, and it's not a case of Gone Horribly Right — but due to the details of what that thing he is to do is, that makes your world collateral damage, and he can't go against that part of his programming no matter how much he wants to. A number of other, less sapient, robots met across the games are simply doing what they are meant to do — guarding places against persons without the proper security clearances (which you do not have, thus them trying to kill you).

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_1b7d59b6	comment	In VII the mosters in general get stronger the farther you get from Harmondale, but following the main questline can throw you into some rather nasty surprises. The very first quest requires you to go into a cave with a red dragon, one of strongest monsters there is. You don't have to fight it, though (you just need to survive to grab the quest item in its cave, which shouldn't be too troblesome unless you get distracted by gold laying there). Once you get to Castle Harmondale and clean it from goblins and rats, you're directed to the Barrow Downs, which are infested by spectres and gargoyles, and from there your next quest is in dungeon full of enemies immune to physical attacks (and if you take wrong path, you'll end up facing enemies immune to magic for a change, which can also cause paralysis and petrification). It's not until you complete this quest that you're pointed to much safer locations in Erathia and the Tularean Forest.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_1c8c34de	comment	Invulnerable Civilians: Monsters and townspeople simply ignored each other in Might & Magic VI. This was corrected in all later games, where the two would fight if they crossed paths. (This isn't always the case. In the Bracada Desert, the Griffins ignore the civilians and the Golems who act as the constabulary, but do attack the Player Characters, while in Deyja, the Harpies and Zombies leave the peasants alone, but not outsiders. Mt. Nighon is kind of a strange case. The Warlocks in the town act as the town watch and won't attack you unless you cause trouble, but the ones outside of town are more malignant.) Of course, this caused other issues. Namely that great fun could be had in VII by luring monsters back to town for the sole purpose of watching them slaughter the inhabitants. Not the sole purpose. If they killed the man trying to give you a fireball wand for a future favour, you could take the wand for free. Also, civilians have gold. Most of the time. Some civilians in Might and Magic 8 don't have gold. Although they tend to look quite ragged, so...

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_1ebbdddb	type	Power at a Price
Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_1ebbdddb	comment	Power at a Price: In VI, Artifacts were safe; Relics, however, had drawbacks. They usually raised one or more stats tremendously, at the cost of greatly reducing one or more others. In VII, the distinction becomes even more pronounced. There are unsellable rare items often obtained as parts of quests, Artifacts and Relics. Artifacts again do not have drawbacks, while rare items and Relics do. From the first category: The Cloak of the Sheep that you find in the Temple of Baa might be useful, but not to everyone (it renders the user immune to status conditions, at the cost of reducing his Intellect and Personality by 20). There's also Mash, a Relic mace that has drawbacks that might not even be worth the benefit. (It increases your Might by 150, but decreases your Intellect, Personality, and Speed by 40 apiece.) In VIII, the game no longer displays "Artifact" or "Relic" when you find a rare item, instead a regular class of the item is displayed, like "Longsword" or "Leather Armor", for example. There is still a distinction like in the previous games, though, with some items being priced at 15-20k and having no drawbacks and ones being priced at 30k and having drawbacks. There are also a few unsellable rares, but much less than in the previous games. In X, Relics have no drawbacks, but in order for them to reach their fullest potential, they have to gain levels, just like your characters do. This is done by your characters using them in battles. Also in X is a non-artifact example: Most of the Skill instructors who teach the Grandmaster rank require something else other than money. Some costs are very easy, like the Water Grandmaster teacher, who only requires you to walk a hundred steps on water. (If you have the Blessing of the Water Deity, you can do it in five minutes without leaving that town.) Others are a little debilitating; the Dark Grandmaster teacher is a vampire and will only teach you if you let her drink your blood (if you're brave enough to agree, each of your characters lose one point of Vitality, but she keeps her end) and the Dagger Grandmaster teacher is similar, demanding one point of each character's Spirit. (She's a dark elf who claims to collect such things.) Some are very difficult, like the Warfare Grandmaster teacher. (Once you agree to his terms, you have to fight three waves of monsters, goblins and plunderers first, dreamwalkers and jaguar warriors second, and finally, two cyclopes. Fortunately, you also get some XP for some of these tasks. The Arcane Discipline Grandmaster teacher is tricky, because she gives you a Secret Test of Character. If you ask for training, she tells you to come back the next day. If you do, she tells you she isn't ready, and tells you to come back in a week. If you do that, she says she still isn't ready, and tells you to come back in a month. (The narrative on the screen tells suggests she might be putting one over on you, but mentions that her mask and stoic voice make it impossible to tell.) If you do come back in a month, she agrees to train you, saying that the waiting was actually the first test: patience. Some spells are like this, most notably Divine Intervention (induces magical aging by 10 years, and here age does have effect on your stats) and Armageddon (hurts your party as well).

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_24224f64	comment	Guns Are Useless: Mostly averted. Ancient Weapons, a.k.a. blasters and blaster rifles, in VI and VII are pretty good endgame weapons. On the one hand, they do fairly low damage that cannot be increased by your Might score or your skill in Blasters. Also unlike other weapons, they cannot be enchanted. However, on the other hand, they do have an extremely high rate of fire, so you can deal Death of a Thousand Cuts with them, especially when you fight in the real-time mode. Another advantage they have is that they do Energy damage, a form of damage which most monsters don't have any resistance to, meaning a successful hit always does full damage.

If you use Hardware Accelerated 3D video setting, they don't appear to be of different colors. But if you change the video setting to Software 3D, the sprites are recolored much more realistically. In most games, here's how monsters work: Each monster has a small, medium, and large variety (in terms of how powerful they are) and the only real physical difference is color. (Of course, the three varieties of a monster tend to be found together.) Boss Monsters are sometimes exceptions, but many of them are just Palette Swaps of common monsters. In VII, Boss monsters are exactly the same as their strongest variety, for example Xenofex is just the Devil Captain named Xenofex.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_2804d516	comment	Master of None: The hybrid classes are sadly this due to not being able to reach the full potential of most of the weapon and armor skills they can learn, while the most specialized classes can. Though to balance this out, the hybrid classes often can reach higher levels in some non-combat oriented skills. The Paladin is a mix between the Knight and the Cleric, but isn't as strong as the former, and unlike the latter he cannot reach the Grand Master level in Self Magic nor Master in Light or Dark Magic, meaning no Power Cure, Resurrection, Hour of Power or Dragon Breath. The Archer (mix between Knight and Sorcerer) suffers from the same problem, though in its case Grandmaster Archery can be quite useful as well. The Druid is a mix between the Sorcerer and the Cleric and thus, able to access every school of magic. but again, only at Master level at most. However, it's the only class that can reach Grandmaster level in potion mixing, and it is the class that can have the most points to cast spells with (as it both benefits from Intellect and Personality, and is the only class that can reach Grandmaster in Meditation, the skill that directly adds magic points). And then there's the Ranger, a mix between the Druid and the Knight, whose skill in magic cannot go higher than Expert, nor can upgrade much the multitude of weapons and combat skills that make the Knight so powerful. Grandmaster in Identify Monster is not a fair trade.

However, he gives you three questions the correct answers to which compose a hint where the elemental lords are imprisoned, and he rewards you for the correct answers by giving you an item, stating the only reason why he is giving it to you is that you don't know how to use it. Said item is the keys for the above prisons.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: The more food you can buy at once at an inn, the more it will cost. You can get 60 days' worth of food in Dragonsand, but for over 1,000 gold; most inns offer 20 days' worth of food for only a few hundred gold. The Relics have even better stat bonuses than the Artifacts, but also have significant drawbacks. Mastering a skill can provide significant benefits, from tripling the bonus that you get to adding other perks (e.g. letting you fire two shots in a row with a bow). However, fulfilling the requirements is often prohibitively expensive in terms of skill points; most Expert skills require Rank 4 (a total of 9 skill points, while Master skills require skill ranks of 7-12(27 to 77 points), as well as high stat values and/or a Prestige Class, so you'll have to think carefully about which skills are worth the investment. Some of the more powerful spells. Armageddon does powerful damage to everyone in the zone- monsters, innocent bystanders and even the player's party. It can also only be used outside. Likewise, Meteor is another powerful Fire spell with a chance of hurting your party that can only be used outdoors. The same goes for Starburst, which is the Air spell equivalent and is even stronger than Meteor. Divine Intervention, the ultimate Light magic, restores all party members' health and mana and cures all adverse conditions. However, it can only be cast at dawn or dusk and ages the caster ten years for each casting.

She knows her sons are criminals, actually, having been kidnapped years ago and corrupted into such a life, but as their mother, she can't bring herself to make the decision whether they deserve forgiveness or death; she wants you to make the decision after finding them. It's up to the player what the Raiders do when they encounter each, but it's clear that each of the three brothers have different attitudes towards what they are. Luke is the only one who genuinely seems sorry for everyone he's hurt, and there is one witness who can back that up; Kirk admits to being a murderer, and while he is sorry for the fate of his victims, he is not sorry he had to do so. Ripley, on the other hand, is a cruel man with a great deal of blood on his hands. (Even the Narrator says "He deserved to die" in the epilogue should you choose not to spare him.) While the choices of fates of Luke and Kirk won't affect much besides the conclusion, if you leave Ripley alive he will kill Eileen and get killed anyway in epilogue.

It probably helps that his own position as King of Deyja was usurped by Kastore by the time you get around to rescuing Roland. The fact your quest to finish off Xenofex is there as well on the Dark Path may count as well, since the Kreegans are Eviler than Thou. Also overlaps with Pragmatic Villainy since it is not cool to rule the world when everyone is dead. A fairly subtle example, but when you complete the Villain and Assassin promotion quests, your reputation in Deyja gets worse. The people of Deyja may be necromancers, but they apparently don't like villainy or assassination. (Maybe the fact that the Villain promotion quest requires you to kidnap a defenseless maiden while the Assassin one involves killing one has something to do with it; that is kind of rotten.)

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_323f135b	type	Sorting Algorithm of Evil
Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_323f135b	comment	Sorting Algorithm of Evil: The games from III usually play this straight with some subversions in the form of a Beef Gate. Usually justified since you start in towns where the monsters would be weak so settlements would not get immediately slaughtered by local wildlife, but once you abandon civilisation and reach wilderness the monsters get nastier. In VI you actually start in the location where the final quest takes place... during a cutscene, as you hightail out of there during the Alien Invasion. Then you meet a warlock who teleports you as far as he can from there on purpose. Said alien invasion also creates the surge of monsters, justifying the sorting algorithm. In VII the mosters in general get stronger the farther you get from Harmondale, but following the main questline can throw you into some rather nasty surprises. The very first quest requires you to go into a cave with a red dragon, one of strongest monsters there is. You don't have to fight it, though (you just need to survive to grab the quest item in its cave, which shouldn't be too troblesome unless you get distracted by gold laying there). Once you get to Castle Harmondale and clean it from goblins and rats, you're directed to the Barrow Downs, which are infested by spectres and gargoyles, and from there your next quest is in dungeon full of enemies immune to physical attacks (and if you take wrong path, you'll end up facing enemies immune to magic for a change, which can also cause paralysis and petrification). It's not until you complete this quest that you're pointed to much safer locations in Erathia and the Tularean Forest. In VIII one of portals toward an item requiring to access The Very Definitely Final Dungeon is on the starting map, though thankfully on an island inaccessible without Water Walk or Fly. The game world is also rather small this time and Ravenshore, the second region you visit, is in its center, so it is really easy to visit most of regions in short span of time. Story-wise the game tends to put you against weaker foes first though, and some regions such as Regna are inaccessible at first.

Failing to do so won't get you attacked, but even trying (whether you are successful or not) will lower your reputation, and require you to pay a fine in the town where you shoplifted. (A successful act of theft incurs a bigger fine than one where you fail and get caught. Possibly justified because you don't have to give the item back.) The craziest part is, the fine you have to pay for shoplifting is in most cases more than the one you have to pay for killing a peasant. (Meaning they consider stealing worse than murder.)

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_34bd7be2	comment	Super Drowning Skills: In most of the 3-D games, water acts as little more than a flat surface that drains your life when you stand on it without the aid of a Water Walk spell or potion. This is particularly jarring, as it is entirely possible to walk on water without the aforementioned spell - your only penalty is listening to your characters yell "ow! that hurts!" repeatedly while the water slowly eats away at their health. IX was the first (and only, unless you count that one stage from VII) in the series to give characters the ability to actually swim (i.e., to go down beneath the surface of the water instead of treating it like solid ground). Due to other issues, however, this ability was completely worthless for a lack of any reason whatsoever to go swimming. There's also the 'plane of water' from VIII, where you can swim freely without losing health. And use Fire magic.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_34dd5f3	comment	La RÃ©sistance: This seems to have caused the crisis in X, and it's a villainous example. After the chaos that Uriel caused in the war prior to the events, the young Empress Gwendolyn Falcon of the Agyn Peninsula introduced a set of reforms to stem the unrest (first and foremost, separating the authority of the church from that of the state, seeing as blindly following an angel was a mistake that caused the war) that many of "the more conservative" nobles objected to, causing political upheaval and threats of succession, possibly leading to outright insurrection judging from the state of things currently. (In Sorpigal, you hear both sides of the issue, some citizens supporting the Empress, and others supporting the dissidents.) As it turns out, the resistance is a side effect of the true threat, and there are two separate resistance movements, both led by an Unwitting Pawn of the true threat. The leader of the first, less potent one is an officer who was driven mad by witnessing the true evil behind the plot, and believes that Gwendolyn has been replaced by a demon and that the Faceless are ruling the Peninsula; he even thinks your characters are demons when you confront him. His dying words when defeated and a journal you find give you a hint at the true evil behind it. The second, more organized revolutionary is Markus Wolfe, the leader of the Blackguards; by the time you get to Karthal, he will have control of the city, and the heroes' mission will be to ally themselves with loyalists and liberate it before focusing on the true evil behind it.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_3687d605	comment	Rapid Aging: A staple of the series from the very beginning, every game has traps or enemies that would cause the player characters to age rapidly. After reaching 50, physical stats would decrease, and if a stat ever hit zero, a character could randomly die with every step. In the first two games, aging could be reversed with the Rejuvenate spell, although it was just as likely to age your characters even further than it was to actually rejuvenate them. Starting with III, the game began to differentiate between natural and magical aging, with natural aging being permanent, while reversing magical aging required completing side quests or, in later games, acquiring rare items: Terra required drinking from Narayah's fountain after raising it from the ocean floor, Clouds required completing the Druid's seasonal ritual, and Darkside required restoring the fountain by Venom Lake. Starting with VI, magical aging could also be reversed by drinking a Rejuvenation Potion.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_36e63b81	comment	You can do this in an early part of VII. Outside of Harmondale, there's an open-air goblin outpost with some magical cannons that shoot powerful fireballs. If you manage to get onto it (the goblins sometime fry themselves by accident by aiming at targets that are too close) about two dozen more goblins surround the place, at which point you can commandeer the cannons and use them yourself. (It's not only an easy way to get rid of them, it's downright fun. So long as you don't aim at a target that's too close, like the ones in the fortress who were already dead when you got there did...) If one looks into the chests there, one can find a letter that says the goblins having the outpost is itself a result of this — apparently, it was originally built by Harmondalians, but was overrun by goblins some time ago.

In VI every class can master Body Building which adds HP directly, meaning Sorcerers can increase their HP as well.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_3af6f8ba	comment	Karl Marx Hates Your Guts: Played straight, but avoidable. The rule applies, but if the character you use to deal with a merchant has ranks in the Merchant skill, you get a better deal both when buying and selling, and the better the character is in the skill, the better the deal. When the character gets the highest rank in the skill, he both buys and sells at the fixed price. (Naturally, it's best to max out this skill on the character who can use it best, and have him deal with merchants exclusively.)

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_3cb6468e	comment	Bad Liar: In the opening sequence of VII, the story is told by the point to both Archibald - by his Mooks - and to Gavin Magnus by the elves who fought Archibald's mooks. Archibald's men are clearly lying about their version (they claim they bravely slaughtered the elven soldiers who ran in fear, when it's obvious that the opposite is true) but Archibald obviously doesn't believe them anyway. Adira (a Justicar angel) in X (with the The Falcon and the Unicorn DLC) strictly speaking can't lie, but falls here by just how bad she is at using Exact Words and metaphorical truths, not only presenting an obvious evasion when asked a question by the Empress, but having to struggle to produce even that. This is in stark contrast with her angel colleagues in Heroes VI, who smoothly manipulated everyone using those two methods, and almost got away with it. The Narrator says in the beginning that Uriel was notorious for doing this too, saying "Angels cannot lie, but no one every said they always have to tell the complete truth."

However, he underestimated the world's defenders and now the world is slated for destruction even though the Kreegans are already destroyed.

The game begins with the party winning the castle and its surrounding lands in a contest, only to find out that said castle is a ruin overrun by goblins, rats and bats. After cleaning the castle and ask the Dwarven King help to repair it (for which you need to do a pretty rough quest first), monarchs from other nations will start to show interest in your lands and will seek alliances. Once its fully repaired and upgraded, the castle has its own blacksmith, armorsmith, magic shop, healers, a golem to defend it from attackers note if you complete the Wizard promotion quest, you can return to it via Town Portal, and you use the Throne Room to meet with the ambassadors from various countries (Erathia and Avlee at first, the Wizards of Bracada and the Necromancers of Dejya later).

Most have at least a small mob of normal monsters helping them, and a few have dozens. III never has a boss that isn't surrounded by minions, although the Vampire Lord has no minions in his coffin so he technically can be fought alone. This doesn't seem to be the case as much in X, however. A few bosses have minions, but many fight alone. Of course, the bosses in this game are tough; a monster even has a special benefit simply for being a Boss that seems to make it immune to status effects or attacks that don't damage it directly. Tolberti/Robert The Wise in VII avert it as well, as they fight you alone, not that they need help, like in X.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_420c50b7	comment	A.I. Is a Crapshoot: If you see a robot or computer in this game, rest assured it's an evil thing that's going to try to kill you. Unless its name is Corak. Or the Dragon Pharoah. Or Meliannote The apparent Guardian of Enroth. He is a stationary computer, and damaged when we meet him, so he is less active on the good front than Corak. Escaton plays around with it: he does exactly what his creators want him to do, and it's not a case of Gone Horribly Right — but due to the details of what that thing he is to do is, that makes your world collateral damage, and he can't go against that part of his programming no matter how much he wants to. A number of other, less sapient, robots met across the games are simply doing what they are meant to do — guarding places against persons without the proper security clearances (which you do not have, thus them trying to kill you). Sheltem zigzags it. He was given two directives - protect Terra, and obey the Ancients. But he was removed from his post for unauthorized experimentation, and he determined that if the Ancients gave him an order to shut down, it would interfere with protecting Terra. So he stopped listening for Ancient orders until he could get rid of the obedience directive. That's just faulty programming, but aside from that, he's out for bloody revenge against the Ancients and all their creations, and considers the deaths he'll cause in his attempts to return to Terra a bonus, and that has nothing to do with his program.

VII actually allows you to summon Light Elementals if you've chosen the Light Path. The frenzy of elementals also kickstarts the plot of VIII, where Elemental Planes themselves appear as well. VIII also complements them by various Crystal Monsters in Great Crystals. X has an important (side)quest involving the original quartet plus light and dark elementals and their lords.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_42846e90	comment	Elemental Powers: Magic in these games is divided into schools based on elements. The basics are Air, Water, Fire, and Earth, while Dark and Light are more advanced magic (which, in later games, can only be used by players that are Evil and Good, respectively). Each player also has six Resistance scores, measuring how well he can resist each form of magic. (It starts at zero, but magic and items can increase it.) Monsters use attacks based on these elements too, and also often have Resistances (some have two, and some very powerful ones have several). Energy is a special seventh form that usually only comes into play late in the games; this cannot be resisted. Blaster weapons cause Energy damage, and so do some of the most powerful monsters. X adds another type of magic called Primordial, which also seems to be a type of advanced magic.

You do confront him, however, the final true enemy of the game, Owen's partner the Justicar Angel Adira leaps to defend him, and while you do fight her as a Boss Battle (and a rather difficult one) it isn't finished; when you reduce her to about half her health, Falcon orders her to stop so that she can hear what you and Rosalie have to say.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_4aa5b8be	type	Resting Recovery
Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_4aa5b8be	comment	Resting Recovery: Played with from VI onward. Resting in Trauma Inn costed you a bit of gold and the rest always lasted to 5:00 AM, healing some of lesser statuses such as Asleep (obviously) or Fear and restoring HP and MP to full unless struck with some of more serious afflictions, such as Poison or Disease. Rather realistic. You could also pitch a tent in open, which always lasted 8 hours and consumed your supplies instead. The cost of supplies depended on type of terrain you slept on, consuming more of your rations for inhospitable landscapes such sa swamp or desert. This allowed for some really weird optimisation, since the road always counted for barren terrain, meaning you could move few feet from desert to road and consume 3 less rations. The resting was rather logically impossible in middle of battle or with enemies nearby and even if safe you could be ambushed by monsters. This gets simplified in X, where resting outside always consumes 1 ration and you cannot get ambushed ever even if the monsters know about your presence, and resting in inn temporarily raises stats.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_4c709317	type	Useless Useful Spell
Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_4c709317	comment	Useless Useful Spell: Varies from the game to game. Usually the utility and buffing spells are incredibly useful (Fly, Town Portal, Feather Fall), as well as spells that hit single target (Implosion, Incinerate) or do splash damage (Dragon Breath, Starburst). Status effects rarely work (The only one that is decently successful is Dragon Sleep, and that only works on dragons, and even then, not all the time), spells that hit everything on sight have usually so low damage it is not worth it (Inferno, Prismatic Light), and spells that scale with Level (Energy Burst, Cold Ray, Lightning Bolt, Fire Ball) can be incredibly powerful, but their SP cost also scales with level, so they are usually Awesome, but Impractical until the player gets really high levelled. In VI, various magic arrows and the like that hit for single digit of damage will fall wayside very quickly, since their damage does not scale up with the skill at all or only very slowly. Sparks avert this because of their damage scaling plus their total number raising for higher mastery and remain good spell from the start until the very end of the game that can be cast cheaply and with low recovery time. This is also true for the sequels. Self-Magic schools are extremely important when it comes to patching your team with Power Cure or Resurrection, but trying to attack with them is asking to fail. The strongest monsters seem almost always be immune against Mind Magic, so trying to Charm a Behemoth is a waste of time and MP. Dark Containment from VI costs 200 MP to cast random status ailments on the target, which may not even work. To top it off, it cannot be even bought and only single guaranteed copy can be found once you solve the obelisk puzzle. For that price you may just shot Dragon Breath twice to disintegrate an entire group of enemies that are not outright immune to Poison damage. Maybe for this reason the spell was dropped afterwards. Golden Touch of VI is usually treated like this, especially since anyone can become master Merchant in this game and the spell gives you 80% of value of item at most (and that's only at Master Light Magic, which is way harder to get than to master Merchant). However, if you can't be bothered to abandon the dungeon in the middle because your inventory is full, you can get some mileage of it. Armageddon deals average damage to everything on map, but if you don't want to kill every pedestrian there you're restricted to use it in zones such as Eofol, Paradise Valley or The Plane Between the Planes, and against monsters in there the damage is but a drop in a bucket. On the other hand, Paralyze seems to be working even against Behemots, since the immunity against Light Magic is rare. The problem is it might take few tries - and Behemoths are rarely alone. Aversion with Mass Distortion, which is Percent Damage Attack (and percentage raises with the skill), and consequently would be heavily resisted by monsters in basically any other game, but not here. Things change significantly in X, as it ditches all self-magic schools and adds Primordial Magic instead. This newly added school gets important/utility buff spells as Hour of Power, Identify Item and Spirit Beacon (former Lloyd's Beacon), making it essential if you don't want to blow a fortune for services. Fire Magic is best on offense due to low overall resistance of enemies to it, with Air Magic close behind because while enemies are quite resistent to it, lot of its spells have gimmicks to offset it (for example Chain Lightning multiplies damage by number of enemies on tile, very useful when you get swarmed). Light magic gets healings and resurrection as well as this game's equivalent of Souldrinker, making it probably most important of the lot. Dark magic as a whole gets nerfed to the point it clumps mostly useless status effects and only Purge and Whispering Shadows may get some use, and the latter becomes obsolete if you get Spike as a companion or the Blessing of Malassa.

(Quite possibly, this is why they are more approachable than the other "dark" folks in the game.)

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9	type	Early-Installment Weirdness
Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: While not the first game in the series, as the first 3D game and the first of the trilogy set on Enroth it has some strange quirks regarding the mechanics: Your party members can only be human. Every subsequent (and prior) game offers a choice of races. Related to this, there are no towns with non-human peasants and no non-human hirelings, lords or skill teachers. Every skill that characters can learn can be also mastered. Related to this, there is no Grandmastery level. This has created some bizarre things like the Archer supposedly being a master marksman when every class can learn and master Bow. The sequels introduced maximum learnable expertise per skill depending on the class. All spells from a given magic school can be learned as long as the user knows that school. Nothing prevents a Sorcerer from learning "Lloyd's Beacon" at normal level. Consequently, some spells work differently at low skill expertise: "Town Portal" for example will only teleport you to a nearby fountain and only if outside on normal skill level. In sequels, you can only cast "Town Portal" after mastering Water Magic. Alchemy as a skill does not even exist, and anyone can create black potions right off bat. However, the potions generally have a smaller effect; notably stat-increasing black potions only increase one stat by 15 while decreasing another by 5 instead of raising one by flat 50 points. Instead of basic elemental resistances, they are divided into Fire/Cold/Electricity/Magic/Poison and spells deal one type of this magic (or physical); for example "Toxic Cloud" deals Poison damage, instead of Dark damage like in sequels. Enemy NPCs ignore townspeople and other neutral or friendly NPCs and go directly for the player characters. From the next game onwards, this is averted. In order to learn weapon, armor and miscellaneous skills, you need to become a member of certain specialized guilds. These guilds will be removed in the next games, where you'll learn such skills at the weaponsmith, armorsmith, temple and tavern. Clerics and Sorcerers can learn both Light Magic and Dark Magic. In VII, they (or rather, their second promotions) can learn only one or the other, depending on whether you choose the good or evil path. In VIII, Clerics can learn only Light Magic and Necromancers (which serve the role of Sorcerers) can learn only Dark Magic. There is no Arcomage minigame at the taverns.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_537dd8fe	comment	Affably Evil: Archibald in Might and Magic VII. It probably helps that he does something approximating a Heelâ€“Face Turn: personally helping free his brother from the Kreegans and bringing him back to his wife, despite the fact that Archibald knows full well that Catherine Ironfist wants him deadnote He was probably - and correctly - gambling on Roland interceding in his behalf... but, of course, if he hadn't brought Roland back himself he wouldn't have been in a position to be executed by Catherine in the first place, and that the last interaction the two brothers had was Roland sentencing Archibald to be transformed to stone for some future generation to take mercy on. He ends up promising to stay peaceably on his little island off the coast of Avlee, and apparently kept that promise, as that is the last we heard of him. And judging that Sandro left for Jadame, it is apparent that he gave up on evil. The Warlocks of Nighon are pretty friendly too, even to those who choose the Light path. Their leader even apologizes for not being able to train you if you ask for a Warlock promotion while on the Path of Light (other Dark promoters tend to insult you instead). Assuming they're truly evil at all, despite being creepy; when you travel from Stone City to Nighon through Thunderfist Mountain, you encounter a large battle between a horde of Gogs and the dwarves of Stone City and the Warlocks, where the dwarves and Warlocks are clearly allies. (They only attack the Gogs, not each other and not you, unless you attack them.) Actually just because they team up with dwarves once doesn't give a free pass. They clearly invaded Erathia to murder and enslave along with demons. Politeness to the victor after Erathian military went to town over their island does not equal Dark Is Not Evil. Their cloaks have a clear description of hordes of slave labor. Seknet Undershadow, the Assassin trainer in VII, is most definitely evil and will send you to murder an innocent woman in cold blood to qualify as an Assassin. But if you have chosen the path of Light, he will politely tell you that you need to speak to the Spy, not him; and no matter when you visit him, there is tea available which, if you are brave enough to drink an Assassin's tea, is very good for you. Tor Anwyn, the Warlock you need to consult for the Warlock promotion quest, has similar qualities. What really makes these two gentlemen stand out as Affably Evil is the fact that some of the instructors even on the path of Light are very acidic towards those following the path of Darkness. Steagal Snick is pretty much Jerkass to your characters and does indirectly call you a crybabies when you're Path of Light, but his first quest involves fixing Dwarves' Dug Too Deep mistake so Medusae won't get out and attack innocent civilians. Bonus points for the quest being done deep in enemy's territory. His second quest is also the only second promotion quest that doesn't change between paths, the only difference being the quest giver.

The second-to-last mission requires you to go to the Control Center to get the Blasters and the even stronger Blaster Rifles to use to destroy the Hive in the Final Battle. The strongest monsters in this dungeon are Terminator Units, and they not only have over a thousand HP, high defense, and powerful attacks, their attacks have a change of Eradicating your character if they hit. Usually, these things are found alone, or occasionally in pairs, but in one room, there's a dozen, along with a lot of other robots. Trying to get past them is probably a bad idea, and you really don't have to (the Blaster Rifles are elsewhere, and you could easily destroy the Hive with three Rifles and one normal Blaster even if you never found all four; all you will find here is a bunch of Memory Crystals and Control Cubes that are no use whatever) but if you actually manage to do it, there's a scroll that gives each member of your party the title of "Super Goober". This even shows up with your list of Awards and completed tasks. This dubious title doesn't bestow any benefit or cost you anything, but it does signify that you won what was likely the hardest battle in the game.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_5989e3b6	comment	Enemy Mine: In X, the Blackfang Marauders are a group of brutal highwaymen who ambush and rob travelers, and you'll likely grow to hate them before you get to Karthal. However, once you do get there, they prove the lesser evil, and you have to form an alliance with them to liberate the city from the revolutionaries. They help you again (well four of them go) in the Falcon and the Unicorn scenario, where four Blackfangs with almost as much influence in the prison as the guards sell you supplies and tell you where to find Rosalie, so long as you do them a favor by getting rid of an inmate they don't like. The same place has also Marcus Wolf (if you let him live, that is) who you can free to get a second hireling besides Rosalie, resulting in this kind of scenario. However, this bites you back later (well, almost). Also in X, there's a small group of Dark Elves whom you meet in the Tomb of a Thousand Terrors who is willing to help you - one of whom is an assassin who claims she would kill you if someone had paid her too - because they have an enemy in common.

To disable the trap and unlock the doors you must push 8 buttons in the corners.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d	comment	Disc-One Nuke: It's possible to recruit a Dragon very early in the game, if you know where to look. Having a Dragon in your party makes the rest of the game MUCH easier - if you have spare horseshoes and gold you can master his Dragon skill right there and then, which gives you access to Flame Burst (great and relatively cheap crowd controlling spell) and notably the ever-so broken Flying. This is probably the reason they're the only race you can't choose for your starter character. There are two quests to rescue level 50 characters. Once you have access to any form of flight and invisibility these both become just a matter of knowing where to go. Once rescued they become recruitable. On Ravenshore there is one hollow tree near the river that contains random artifact. That may help you greatly at the beginning of the game.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_5c18d958	comment	Video Game Flight: Mostly averted in the Enrothian trilogy, as once you learn "Fly" you can basically go wherever you want to, a few really scarce exceptions aside (such as the central volcano in Nighon in VII, which requires hotkeying the "Jump" spell to get to the top, or the Plane of Fire in VIII, which has paths suspended over lava so high that you can't fly above it most of the time). It is as broken as it sounds. Played straight, however, in dungeons, where the spell doesn't work at all for some reason, mostly to prevent Sequence Breaking. This also makes trekking through bigger dungeons a hassle. X plays this straight, as the Blessing of Ylath, which allows you to leap mountains, just allows you to use portals that teleport you to higher altitude at specific points.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_5cfeb43f	type	Save Scumming
Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_5cfeb43f	comment	Save Scumming: The games make it very easy, for the most part. Land a good hit, save, opponent misses, save, something bad happens reload, and with patience you can beat things you have no business trying to fight. There are a few exceptions, though - for example, saving in the Arena in M&M7 actually saves you to outside the Harmondale stables on Monday, so you have to win on one try. This was particularly abuseable when it came to looting, as there is a bug in VI through VIII that will occasionally cause a just-looted corpse to remain in the game where you can loot it again with exactly the same loot tables. By repeatedly saving and loading every time the bug causes the corpse to remain, you can outfit your party several times over (with Artifacts and Relics, too, if you're looting a strong enough enemy) and get a ton of gold as a bonus (especially if combined with periodic trips to town and back to the corpse when your inventory fills). Of course, this is really only worth doing on enemies that drop good loot in the first place, like the dragon on the starting island in VII that you can beat by running around it in circles so that its fire breath never hits you... This is also very useful when you have to deal with monsters like Ghosts that cause magical aging. Simply put, this is something that's hard to reverse, and you're going to have to deal with things like this sooner or later. For example, in VI, you have to go to Corlagan's Estate to do the Wizard to Archmage promotion quest (not required, but highly recommended if you have a Wizard) and it has lots of Ghosts. The only ways to reverse magical aging in that game is a black potion (which permanently reduces all of your stats in the process) and a magical fountain on Hermit's Isle which you won't be able to access until much later. So save often when you go to this place. Averted in X, which doesn't let you save during battle.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_5d1eb74d	type	Dump Stat
Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_5d1eb74d	comment	Dump Stat: In III and IV/V it can depend on your class. Intellect is useless to non arcane casters (Sorcerer, Archer and some Druid/Ranger spells) except for some skill books in V, and even then, someone who uses arcane casting can read them. Personality is useless to someone who doesn't use divine spells like a Cleric, Paladin, Druid or Ranger. Accuracy and Strength are less useful to a Sorcerer or any class that uses spells to do damage. The only non dump stats are Speed (when the player goes in a round), Endurance (grants HP), and Luck (prevents status effects) VI has Intellect/Intelligence (the name varies from one game to the next) has no effect on classes lacking arcane/elemental spellcasting abilities (or learn Master Learning starting with VI, which requires 50 Intellect in addition to the usual prerequisites), while Personality is useless for classes that can't cast clerical/Self magic (or learn Master Merchant starting with VI). This makes at least one of the two a dump stat for every class except Druids and Rangers. In fact, this also means that the Insane condition (which increases Strength but cripples Intelligence) is actually a benefit to some classes, like the Knight. Averted in Might and Magic VII and VIII, as each outdoor region has a Game, Contest, Test, or Challenge that rewards characters with extra skill points for having a certain stat above a certain threshold. Even Knights can benefit from having Intellect of 200 or higher, as they can then gain 10 skill points from a Challenge of Intellect. You can bypass it with temporary boosts though.

He ends up promising to stay peaceably on his little island off the coast of Avlee, and apparently kept that promise, as that is the last we heard of him. And judging that Sandro left for Jadame, it is apparent that he gave up on evil.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_6320eced	comment	Gameplay and Story Segregation: In general, downplayed with the Blaster weapons. They are hailed as amazing weapons from the time of Ancients. Gameplay-wise they are pretty good, as they do good damage, they are fast and their damage, being Energy type, cannot be resisted, but at the time you get access to them you usually have multiple artifacts or relics and those are still much better than blasters, and the damage output of Dark Magic leaves blasters in the dust, resistances or no. In VII: If you manage to kill the dragon on Emerald Isle, nobody will reflect on it and Lord Markham will still state that he'll issue a warning not to go there. The Breeding Zone and The Walls of Mist in The Pit and The Celeste respectively are stated to be the training grounds for the factions of Necromancers and Wizards. In reality, monsters here don't give any experience, so good luck doing any actual training there. In fact it's much closer to the Rite of Passage as you need to pass them to be fully accepted by given faction, so consequently, you'll visit each of these dungeons at most once (to pass the initiation test and to retrieve a promotion quest item) and then you'll forget about them. Celeste is stated to be located partially in the clouds, partially in mountains. If you fall out of Celeste by not-so Bottom Less Pit, you'll always fall near stables, with no mountains nearby. In VIII the ending shows the destruction of the crystal, the gateways to the Elemental Planes and of the Plane between the Planes. Gameplay-wise, only the crystal is destroyed, and even its interior can be accessed if you made Lloyd's Beacon mark in it or the Plane between the Planes (the crystal there is still intact). You can even exit it to Ravenshore, seemingly exiting from the void. In X, some blessings are especially guilty of this. For example The Blessing of Ylath is stated to allow you to climb mountains. In reality, it allows you to teleport at specific point into more elevated zone. The Blessing of Shalassa says it allows you to walk on water, and it does ... in shallows. Kinda disappointing, isn't it?

Also the case with the lower floor of Red Dwarf Mines of the same game, once you sabotage the elevator. This is a bit harsher since the Medusa Queen here holds an unique artifact. In VIII, once you destroy the Great Crystal, you cannot access the Plane between the Planes if you didn't place Lloyd's Beacon there. This sucks because there are few optional dungeons in there. Seriously played straight in The Falcon and the Unicorn DLC. Your gear is all confiscated when you're arrested, and you can't get it back until you defeat the boss at the top of the Fortress and get the Storeroom Key; if you don't get it, you can't. note Fortunately, the guy who arrives to rescue you warns you that he can't take you back and recommends that you take one last quick look around.

They like living in volcanic areas purely for comfort and prefer to raise volcanoes with magic before expanding. In the RPG series they are anything but that: initial spaceships make well-planned hard landings to the most fertile areas and start draining the soil nutrients to feed their population and hive queens and aggravate roaming creatures. Their initial technology is biotechnological with modern hydraulics on doors, and their expansion "cities" are nothing but Organic Technology hives like Colony Zod which also drain nutrients from the soil but have rudimentary force fields and elevators. There are zero human underlings living with them (though they do make use of human underlings, just not directly in their own settlements) and they attack anything that comes near and are straight out of the Alien franchise.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_681077c5	comment	Wide-Open Sandbox: The first three games don't really tell you where to go. You're expected to explore the game until you pick up enough clues to stumble into the real final quest. Most egregious in II, where the backstory in the game manual is almost entirely a Red Herring and the real villain is a Giant Space Flea from Nowhere unless you've played I. In all games, there's far more material in the sidequests than in the main quest, and often, the difference between sidequest and main quest can only be determined in hindsight. The exception is X, where the game is pretty linear, and even divided into four Acts. (There are still a few sidequest you can do at any time, however.)

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_693cabaf	comment	Gladiator Games: Most games in the series have an Arena you can go to where you can fight monsters to win gold (and in some cases, experience). The rules vary depending on which game, and the monsters are chosen at random, although you can usually pick the level of difficulty. (Although the difficulty levels often get more difficult overall as your own experience levels get higher.) Sometimes you have to pay a fee to enter, and other times you can only go on certain days. In at least one game, a promotion quest depends on going there.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_6a696742	comment	The Power of Love: III has something like this. Visiting the nymph in Thorn Blossom Orchard "inflicts" a status condition on all male characters in your party called In Love that increases all his stats by 1, and then continues to increase it as time goes on. Unfortunately, the nymph never reciprocates the love, and if the bonus ever reaches a +10 bonus, it turns into a negative aliment called Heartbroken, which is like Weakness, except it cannot be cured except from a Temple. A sidequest for Princess Trueberry near Swamp Town can only be completed with the power of love: You must speak to her with a group of adventurers who have the "In Love" condition, whom she will promptly "cure" of their love. Repeat the process until she has cured ten people to lift her curse and get a ton of experience and the Golden Alicorn to get a ton more.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_6b781076	comment	Still happens in X at plenty of other points, given that you are handed free reign of the land eventually, although most over world enemies are weaker than dungeon enemies, and regions are still closed off until you access the elemental shards. For example, just around the bend from a plot-important dungeon is a group of enemies that, unless your characters come prepared or you're not a first time player, is likely to stomp you. It doesn't help that they're holding a recruit-able dog captive. In fact, the whole Act II (where most of the game world opens up) is like this and worse - you must follow one exact trail, otherwise the enemies will kill you. The Lost City is also nasty example: while its 1st, 2nd and 4th floors are pretty manageable by the time you get there, a pair of monsters from 3rd floor (which also guard the entrances to it on other floors) is enough to wipe out your party, forcing you to come back later.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_6dc206c9	comment	Marathon Level: VI: This game in general has much bigger dungeons than later games. The very first dungeon, Abandoned Temple, is extremely long. Thankfully one of three quest items is near the entrance. The other two? Not so much. Tomb of VARN is giant and unlike most other dungeons, you have to sweep it all in order to find codes that give you the access to the reactor room that contains mainline quest item. Castle Darkmoor and Castle Alamos also stand out and likewise you'll have to explore them entirely to get to required quest items there because of rather convoluted puzzles. VII: Walls of Mist and The Breeding Zone. Made worse you cannot leave without all monsters respawning, so you need to stock up on mana potions and food to stay there. The Breeding Zone is relatively small, but the tough enemies here will slow your progress down a lot. Eeofol Tunnels, a Space-Filling Path which you need to completely traverse in order to access Eeofol. Thankfully you need to do this once, since you can activate Door to Before once in Eeofol. Titan's Stronghold, like the name would suggest. Made worse by the fact that it consists mostly of looong corridors that seem to go on forever. VIII: Balthazar's Lair, mainly due to overly long puzzle involving switching water levels. Think Water Temple. The Very Definitely Final Dungeon also qualifies and it stands out when compared to the rather short dungeons in this game. It does make for nice grand finale though. X: The Tomb of Thousand Terrors and Ker-Thal. Worse in that you cannot leave either until you complete them.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	comment	Guide Dang It!: The identity of the "missing brother" in Might & Magic III could be one of these, or else an example of Viewers Are Geniuses. (Hint: The other brothers are named Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Zeta.) (Answer: Epsilon.) That's actually a Bilingual Bonus. If you know the Greek alphabet and have met the other brothers, the solution is pretty obvious, since the missing brother is the letter between Delta and Zeta. When holding the Element Orb in II, all entrances to the dungeon are sealed and you are unable to use any teleport spells. The only way to successfully remove the Orb from the dungeon is to actively abuse game mechanics: Give the Orb to a hireling and dismiss them, instantly sending the hireling and Orb to the nearest inn. The location of the replacement arbiters in VII. They make it perfectly clear in the game itself that Judge Fairweather is in Bracada and Judge Sleen is in Deyja, but not where in Bracada and Deyja. They're in the taverns. The obelisk puzzle in VII is probably this. "Pirates five, one survive, hide the gold under the sand. White flower, witching hour, bloom upon a haunted land." There are several haunted lands in Might and Magic VII, although the only one with any connection to pirates is Evenmorn Island. And there IS a patch of sand on that island... but that's not where the white flower appears at midnight. So where is the buried treasure? In a stone circle that isn't anywhere close to any sand. Ditto for some promotion quests. The Ninja promotion quest from VII gets the most infamy, though the Wizard promotion quest from the same game is just as bad.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_70d8269d	comment	Excuse Plot: The earlier games didn't have much of a plot: I has heroes from Sorpigal on the world of VARN traveling to find the source of the chaos on their world, discovering it's King Alamar, finding out Alamar is Sheltem, then defeating him while he gets away in the struggle. II has the same heroes traveling through the magical gates to CRON, utilizing Time Travel and the magic gates to stop Sheltem from flinging CRON into the sun. III has unrelated heroes from Fountain Head on Terra adventuring across the land. They aren't even given a reason why they go on their adventure. But they eventually end the chaos of the monsters around the world and find Sheltem engaged with Corak, who uses the distraction to flee. Corak and the adventurers pursue. IV has a very sparse plot as well. Not only does it seemingly have nothing to do with the Sheltem story arc that began in I and ended in V, it is little more than "Go kill the bad guy Lord Xeen and bring me his Macguffin". The game reveals absolutely nothing about who Lord Xeen, the main antagonist, is, until literally the end of the game, where The Stinger reveals Xeen was Sheltem's henchman. V has the most plot: The dragon orb finds its way to the players, who are tasked with bringing it to Dragon Pharaoh. To do this, they must restore Kalindra's castle and restore her to health. Then, find Corak and sneak him to Sheltem. World of Xeen has a final quest which is: "Complete these puzzles and restore the world because the Dragon Pharaoh told you to."

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_727b944e	comment	Plot Tunnel: A situation like this arises in VI. The first time you speak to Roland's son, Nicolai, in Castle Ironfist, he joins your party (you do not get a say in this) and the first time you rest, he runs off (again, there's nothing you can do to stop him). Unfortunately, this means you cannot enter Castle Ironfist until you find him, because it is put on emergency shutdown, because they think he's been kidnapped (and it's probably for the best that you don't enter, because technically, you kidnapped him). Because this means you can't complete any important quests, you really have to find him. The worst part is, it's kind of hard. His constant begging to go to the circus should tell you where he is, but the circus only appears on certain months and in only three locations, and one of those locations is a place you really shouldn't go, given your likely current level. So this could take a while. Frustratingly, Nicolai doesn't give you any tangible reward for this, except that he owes you a favor, which comes in very useful much later (you get an XP reward for it in the 2.0 version). If you never talk to him about "Boredom", the problem doesn't arise, and he still helps later. To a smaller degree, VI forces you to visit Free Haven afoot as all stable/ship transport to Free Haven is unavailable at first. This also means that you can't get easily to the northern/western locations, as Free Haven is a hub connecting New Sorpigal and surroundings with those (not that it is a good idea to go there with a low-level party). Once you reach Free Haven and presumably talk with the Council there, you can fetch a ride to the northern/western cities. Happens in both VII and VIII at the start. In VII you are stranded on Emerald Isle until you complete the tournament - you can explore the Isle at your leisure, but it is quite small and there is nothing interesting not related to the main quest. The single sidequest is still related to the tournament and will be possibly completed with the main quest as the items required to both are literally laying on the ground next to each other. In VIII your main quest is in fact to leave Dagger Wound island, and most of the sidequests are related to the objective. This happens a lot in X, where the plot is very linear. For example, after foiling the attack on the governor's castle, he asks you to go to the Elemental Forge to investigate an elf raid, and until you do that, you can't progress to Seahaven.

Normally the rune is placed with one tile space from you in the direction you're looking, so you're safe. However, if you have enemies right in front of you, it will place the rune directly under them... meaning that you're within its range and with its damage it can quite likely spell Total Party Kill.

The latter might be justified by avoiding confusion why the light elementals don't have any relation to the plot despite being, well, elementals.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_7a0b9d67	comment	Redemption Demotion: Sadly, Minotaurs. When they appeared in the previous games as Always Chaotic Evil enemies, they were a nightmare to deal with, having high HP, brutal physical attack, and the Minotaur Lords could easily one-hit kill one of your characters by casting "Finger of Death". As playable characters in this game, they're by far the worst class, being only good as Crutch Characters in the early levels.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_7ae4d273	type	Point of No Return
Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_7ae4d273	comment	Point of No Return: X has three situations like this; fortunately, in two of them, you get a warning first: The first time is when You enter the Tomb of Ten Thousand Terrors, an action that starts Act IV of the story. The entrance locks behind you, and there's no way out until you find the exit. (The storyline implies that this was a trap.) The second time Is before the Battle of Karthul stage. Once it starts, you cannot return to the Ayran Peninsula until you complete this stage and the next, in which you defeat Erebos. Fortunately, an NPC gives you a warning first, and there is a merchant you can buy supplies from after the battle. The third and most brutal time is the final part of the Falcon and the Unicorn DLC, where Rosalie takes you to Empress Falcon's Summer Palace to warn her. She does tell you that you won't be able to return once you leave, but there are no merchants, healers, or any other facilities here; other than what you bring, you have to rely on treasure you find to heal yourself.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_7b21ef92	type	Later-Installment Weirdness
Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_7b21ef92	comment	Later-Installment Weirdness: This game makes a lot of changes regarding its precedessors: You start with just one character rather than a full party, and you have to fill the remaining slots by hiring adventurers at taverns and houses. Said people can be fired at any point if you wish to replace them with somebody else, and to complete certain mandatory quests, you need to have certain characters in your party. This game has a maximum party size of five as opposed to four, and not all slots have to be filled, so your party can range from one to five characters. In the previous games you had the same full party of characters from beginning to end. There are no hirelings (of the non-fighting townsperson variety from earlier games, as opposed to the new recruitable adventurers), though townspeople still exist. Rather than every character being identified by their class, only human characters are identified by their class (Knight, Cleric or Necromancer) while non-human characters are identified by their race instead (Dark Elf, Vampire, Troll, Minotaur or Dragon)note behind the scenes, the game does still keep track of race and class separately, but the UI only shows the class. Vampires more-or-less replace Paladins, Minotaurs more-or-less replace Monks, and Dark Elves more-or-less replace Archers, with Trolls as a second all-Might class in addition to Knights. Dragons are a special class that can only be recruited and not made at startup. Sorcerers are renamed/replaced with Necromancers. This game does away with the separated Elemental and Self Magic Guilds, as well as the need to pay a fee to become a member. Instead, spells of all four schools of Elemental Magic (Earth, Air, Fire and Water) and all three schools of Self Magic (Body, Mind and Spirit) are sold together in a single magic shop each. Light and Dark Magic spells still have their own specialized shops. There's only one promotion for each class instead of two. In addition to Elemental, Self, Light and Dark Magic, this game introduces three new schools of magic that are exclusive to a certain class (Dark Elf, Vampire and Dragon), representing their inherent racial abilities. They each only have four spells (one for each level of skill) as opposed to ten or eleven, and these spells are learned automatically when the magic skill in question is upgraded rather than needing to be learned from a book. In the previous two games, both Clerics and Sorcerers could learn Light and Dark Magic (although in VII, you had to choose one or the other). In VIII, only Clerics can learn Light and only Necromancers (the equivalent of Sorcerers) can learn Dark. VI and VII had equal numbers of classes that could learn Self or Elemental Magic, but VIII has one more class than can learn Self (Cleric, Minotaur and Vampire) than Elemental (Necromancer and Dark Elf). And there are also no classes that can learn both in this game. The skill teachers will also tell you where to find a teacher of lower expertise if you're not advanced enough for the one you're talking to yet, unlike the previous game. There is also only a single expert teacher for each skill while previous games had two, a few exceptions aside.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_7b7965dd	comment	Boss in Mook Clothing: Any time a Gold Dragon appears in one of the later games, it qualifies. These things are tough, and they'd likely qualify as actual Bosses if not for the fact that they weren't unique. Terminator units from VI. One exception aside, they show in pairs at most, have over 1k HP (just about 200 HP lower than actual Final Boss) and most importantly, their regular attacks have a chance to cause an Eradication. Fighting off these things is more difficult than anything else. In X, you can access two "Dangerous Caves" very early in the game; most Dangerous Caves in the game have actual Bosses, but one of the two you can access early (the one which has a convenient warning outside telling you that there's a grumpy cyclops inside) just has a very powerful monster that might just count as an Elite Mook. Nonetheless, it really best not to go in and fight it until you're Level 17 or so. In III the bosses of various temples are skinned exactly like the mooks inside, they just have an extra attack a round, more HP, and a different name. Only the Dragon Emperor is different. It also has the Eradicators in the final dungeon, who are immune to physical damage and can eradicate your party.

This is in stark contrast with her angel colleagues in Heroes VI, who smoothly manipulated everyone using those two methods, and almost got away with it.

Few exceptions aside (such as the Fly scroll in New Sorpigal in IV or Bracada in VII), there is no shop, monster drop or chest that guarantees access to certain scrolls. Consequently, you will save the best scrolls with the spells you can't get other way until you really need them, and weaker scrolls will be sold off. Better magic wands with stronger spells. While VII and VIII have a spell that allows you to recharge them, it has the drawback of reducing the number of charges every time it is used, and to fully negate that, you must have Grandmastery of Water Magic at level at least 20. Therefore better wands will end up collecting dust like the better scrolls.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_812ee32b	comment	Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards: Despite the title of the game the Magic part seems to play a more important part in most of modern-era games: In VI the difference is so big it's absurd. Play the your cards right and a group of pure casters (Clerics and Sorcerers) can be deadlier than hybrid classes or Knight at the beginning of the game already. A Sorcerer with Sparks spell can clean enemies more efficiently than Knight with his sword and all classes can learn bow, the most useful weapon for when mana runs out, anyway. The gap widens even more when you get to Dark and Light magic, as the former has spells like "Shrapmetal" with potential of dealing huge physical damage or the "Armageddon" spell that deals about 50 points of damage to an entire map, something with what Knights and hybrid classes will only hardly keep up with. The latter has powerful spells that raise stats, reduce damage and completely heal the party, meaning with enough skill points and equipment boosting it even Squishy Wizard can punch out a minotaur. Toned down in VII where now spells are tied to magic mastery, so they are not so easy to get, therefore power curve for pure casters is slower. Knights and fighting hybrid classes also get some new skills to keep up, notably Armsmaster for Knight and the Dodging and Unarmed skills for Monk. They can't still keep up with the damage output of Dark Magic however. Both previous games also contain Ancient Weapon skill - essentially Blasters that deal damage that cannot be resisted by anything. This skill can be learned by anyone, however, and magic is still more useful in general. VIII plays with this. While there are Knight, Cleric and Necromancer (= Sorcerer in this game) classes, the strongest are Dragons, Dark Elves and Trolls, who are mostly hybrid classes with special quirks. X plays this straight and it becomes apparent if you have DLC installed and you get to play first of its dungeons. Then you find out that mages are much less dependent on equipment than fighters are.

However, in games where you can choose a Dark path, Wizards in your party actually become Liches after completing the second Promotion Quest, complete with the Soul Jars that liches tend to use. This grants a few immunities along with enhanced stats, but it actually does not grant them any special form of immortality. How about a lich temptress? The villain - and Boss - of the Fortress of Crows is just that, and when you confront her in the Boss Battle and show her the amulet of her two victims, her fake beautiful face is cast aside, forcing her to show her true, horrid, undead form.

When you actually meet him - two quests require this - he seems to be a borderline case who likes playing jokes on mortals, but is more-or-less harmless.

You can get one early in the game, though the last portal near the docks still needs to be activated from the other end.

The dwarves broke into a lair of medusas who petrified most of them, and as part of the main quest you have to rescue the dwarves.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_895ec17	comment	The heroes play this part in X, being Raiders, a type of shady adventurer which many folk believe are lawless folk who refuse to pledge loyalty to any formal authority (both the government or the Dragons), and are Only in It for the Money. This is true to a certain extent - the eighth rule of their ten-part code is "Treasure is treasure", meaning that if something is valuable, you should take it, and not judge what it was used for. However, a lot of the code does deal with honor among allies and comrades, the first rule being "Life is worth more than gold", meaning that nothing is so valuable that you should risk the lives of your companions to get it. (The second rule is, if a Raider violates the first rule and lets a comrade die to gain wealth, he is a traitor who deserves death, and a true Raider's duty is to deliver that punishment.)

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_8aebbc74	type	Evil Pays Better
Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_8aebbc74	comment	Evil Pays Better: The choice of path determines whether you will get to use Light or Dark Magic. Thing is, while Dark Magic has some very strong nukes (and even basic Toxic Cloud does more damage than Grandmaster Elemental spells), Light Magic has mainly buff magic of spells packed together which barring Day of Gods can be gotten from other magic schools, which you have probably upgraded higher (and Light Magic doesn't include Protection from Magic anyway). Its strongest offensive spell targets only one monster (while Dragon Breath from Dark magic nukes an entire group) and can be used only outside and during the day. To add insult to injury, its grandmaster spell must be found in The Pit first, and it has serious drawbacks. The promotion to Lich for the Dark Path comes with neat change to your avatar but most notably offers immunity to Body and Mind magic, something that cannot be achieved in any other way. There is no equivalent advantage for the promotion to the Archmage. The promotion to Warlock for the Dark Path gives you a pet dragon whelp which gives all your Warlocks mana regeneration and +3 to all magic skills. The Light Path counterpart, the Archdruid, has no such bonus. Though, in order to compensate, the promotion quest to Archdruid is one of the easiest of the games (involving finding an item on a mid-level dungeon and taking it to a low level dungeon) while the promotion to Warlock involves going to the Land of the Giants, the very last zone of the game, and find an item inside a cave with a very powerful Super Boss Dragon.

At various parts of the game, you have to visit the Elemental Forge and solve puzzles to gain the blessings of each Dragon, giving you abilities that let you access areas you weren't able to before. There is also a seventh Dragon named Asha, the Dragon of Order, worshipped as a Creator Goddess and believed to be the mother of the other six. There are altars depicting her three incarnations (the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone) dotted around the Agyn Peninsula. If the Player Characters pray before the Maiden, their Stats and offensive scores improve; the Mother increases their Destiny Scores; and the Crone cures all negative status ailments.

But he was removed from his post for unauthorized experimentation, and he determined that if the Ancients gave him an order to shut down, it would interfere with protecting Terra. So he stopped listening for Ancient orders until he could get rid of the obedience directive. That's just faulty programming, but aside from that, he's out for bloody revenge against the Ancients and all their creations, and considers the deaths he'll cause in his attempts to return to Terra a bonus, and that has nothing to do with his program.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_9183215d	comment	Last Disc Magic: In some games, some magic schools or last mastery levels can be obtained only way into the game. VII: You can get Light or Dark magic only after you choose path and complete an initiation test, which happens into the second half of the game. Even then you need to complete second promotion for either Cleric or Sorcerer to be able to even learn it. Likewise, since second promotion is only available after the choice of path and is a requirement for Grandmastery of magic schools, the ultimate spells of each magic school such as Power Cure or Lloyd's Beacon can't be used until then. VIII: Both Light and Dark magic can be learned from the start, but their Grandmasters are located at Regna, which is made accessible only quite late into the story. Consequently the ultimate spells in both schools won't be used until then and some spells of lower mastery are far less potent. Averted with Elemental schools - their Grandmaster teachers are located in their respective Elemental Planes, but you can access them and in the case of Plane of Air it shouldn't be much trouble with Invisibility (which you most likely have when you're trying to Grandmaster Air Magic).

However, he has to get rid of "complications" first, like the ones who got rid of Erebos... This is actually a back-up plan. The original plan was to take advantage of the situation in the Agyn Peninsula to discredit the Empress politically (Duke Owen is the leader of the nobles opposing the Empress's reform plans, which is how he intends to make her marry him — by framing it as a reconciliation move), with some minor help to one of the bandit groups in the Peninsula to help keep the situation unstable, but then a certain group went and managed to get the situation resolved, and the Empress turned out to have arranged it...

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_9b54d536	comment	Evil Counterpart: In the games where you have to choose the Dark or Light Path, your party seems to be an Evil Counterpart (or Good Counterpart) to what your party would be had you chosen the other path, and the reasons become obvious when you compare the quests in each path. While the plot is changed in a big way, there are many instances where the Quests you take are only different in terms of cosmetics and what your motives are. One example: If you're on the Light Path in VII, your superior is Robert the Wise, and an enemy you have to kill near the end is a guy named Tolberti. If you're on the Dark Path, the opposite it true. As far as the actual Boss Battle goes, the two are the same character in every way except cosmetically. Another good example: For the Crusader to Villain Promotion Quest (which is recommended for Paladins on the Dark Path) you have to kidnap a maiden named Alice; for the Promotion Quest that Paladins take on the Light Path, you have to rescue her - from the guy who would have told you to kidnap her, had you chosen the Dark Path.

The irony is, to defeat him you have to read the discarded notes from the commanders of Michael's army, gather the pieces of the Solar Sigil and use them to activate the ancient weapon that Michael intended to use against Erebos. In a way, Michael does help vanquish him, at least in spirit.

In MMVII, the devils are long-armed spiky alien things. In HoMM3, which takes place at the same timenote specifically, Might and Magic VII takes place in the gap between base Heroes III and the Armageddon's Blade expansion, the devils are... pretty much your standard red-skinned black-robed horned humanoid devils. There is no explanation even attempted for this - at least, not in VII or Heroes III. VI (which also takes place at the same time as Heroes IIInote parallel to the base game) implies 'caste system' is the answer for some discrepancies (it also features — prominently in the intro movie — devils that are long-armed spiky alien things with horns and red skin). In this game, Tatalia is just a duchy of Erathia, ruled by Lord Markham, and populated by humans. In HoMM3, Tatalia is an independent nation ruled by the lizardman King Tralossk and full of swamp-dwelling monsters such as gnolls and wyverns as well as humans.

Especially notable since there are items such as halberds or tridents that take the entire vertical space in your inventory, but the items are automatically added in the inventory in horizontal manner, meaning that you can grab a ton of gems or rings, which all occupy 1x1 space in your inventory, with all your party members, and then be unable to grab a trident even though about 3/4th of your space is free. Since in some cases it is hard to know what enemy will drop, the only solution is the application of this trope.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_b2226c2f	comment	Sheathe Your Sword: If you choose the Light Path, the first mainline quest you have to do (in order to gain Light Magic) is one where you have to enter the front door of the Walls of Mist and exit the back door - without harming any of the monsters inside even once. Unfortunately, they will attack you, they are very powerful, and the Walls of Mist is a complex maze that requires finding three keys to complete. (And it you leave out the front door, you have to start over... unless you keep the keys in your inventory, in which case they stay there even after you leave a dungeon. You can therefore retrieve keys one at a time then use them on pedestal and leave through back doors.) Turning yourself invisible is probably the best idea. This strategy is not mandatory but highly recommended for a few other situations in the same game. For example, any time you got to the Pit (if you're on the Path of Light) or Celeste (if you're on the Path of Dark) it's best to turn yourself invisible and sneak your way through, seeing as the monsters in the city will be hostile and some of them can summon other monsters, meaning you'd be facing a huge army in a matter of seconds if you try. Also, when you approach Colony Zod late in the game (which you have to do regardless of the Path you're on) it's best to both turn invisible and fly to get there, unless you can fight your way past the army of over a hundred Kreegan surrounding it. (Many of which can drain your SP if you try.)

Even though Dark Is Evil in this game, most of the healing and curing spells belong to the Self schools (Body, Mind, and Spirit), which are neutral and can be learned by the Cleric, Paladin, Ranger, Monk (starting with their first promotion, the Initiate) and Druid classes on either path. The only exception is the Light magic spell Divine Intervention, which, although very powerful, is only meant to be used in emergencies. The Dark magic has also spells that heal in Soul Drinker, though in its case it functions as Life Drain, and is less potent than Divine Intervention.

Uriel actually is dead, so far as the game indicates, and the main villain wasn't exactly inspired by him, but does indeed use (relatively, and on a smaller scale) similar methods and espouses similar beliefs. Both of them want the Elder Wars between Angels and Faceless to begin anew, and both manipulate human politics towards that end — Erebos just happens to be one of the few Faceless with that goal.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_b38b6147	comment	Science Fantasy: M&M games commonly start out as apparently pure fantasy world, but towards the end it is revealed the world is actually a Lost Colony, and Lost Technology is brought into the plot. However, the magic is still very real and the Ancients brought elves, dwarves, orcs, halflings, etc. over on the vessels that colonized these planets as well as humans, and themselves seem to have practiced an advanced synthesis of technology and magic. Later games would introduce the Science Fiction elements earlier; Might & Magic VI and VII, for example, allowed you to mow down Liches with your blaster pistols. Or be a Lich. With a laser pistol, and scuba gear, and infiltrating a spaceship to steal technology. IX never got around to having any explicit Science Fiction elements, leaving them to a few references that people that played the older games would recognize as not actually being fantasy after all. X isn't allowed to have explicit Science Fiction elements, being set in Ubisoft's Ashan setting... "explicit" being the key word there. Two quests heavily imply that Ashan is in the old setting after all, one of them featuring what appears to be a character from the mid-90s novels... a character that happened to have been an undercover operative for a post-Silence interstellar state.

(If you have the Blessing of the Water Deity, you can do it in five minutes without leaving that town.) Others are a little debilitating; the Dark Grandmaster teacher is a vampire and will only teach you if you let her drink your blood (if you're brave enough to agree, each of your characters lose one point of Vitality, but she keeps her end) and the Dagger Grandmaster teacher is similar, demanding one point of each character's Spirit. (She's a dark elf who claims to collect such things.) Some are very difficult, like the Warfare Grandmaster teacher. (Once you agree to his terms, you have to fight three waves of monsters, goblins and plunderers first, dreamwalkers and jaguar warriors second, and finally, two cyclopes.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_c5f0119c	comment	Insane Troll Logic: There's a troll who tells us how he traveled to Ravage Roaming and talked to Zog in hopes of finding a clue as to where the ancient troll home can possibly be. Zog kicked him out and nearly killed him, but still ended up giving the troll a clue by complete accident - namely, he mentioned that he's going to feed the troll to his basilisk. Since basilisks live in Murmurwoods, the troll concludes that the home must be in Murmurwoods. What's amazing is that this train of logic is actually true.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_c5f23623	comment	Broken Bridge: VII won't let you access the place with The Very Definitely Final Dungeon until you reach almost the end of the game, as you need special equipment to get it. Evermorn Islands are also off limits at first, because they're supposedly shrouded by fog and require a map to get to them that you have to find first in a related quest. Regna in VIII is not accessible because the Pirate Outpost and the means of transport there don't exist at the beginning of the game (you can even check for yourself - the island is empty at first). Once you reach specific point of the game, said outpost suddenly materalizes and gives you a means of reaching Regna. X uses this feature, though in the first example it gives a logical reason why the quest solves it: you can't leave Sorpigal because, as the guard tells you, an investigation is underway over the disappearance of townsfolk. Your first quest is to solve that problem. Once you succeed, he gets out of your way. Why the bridge to Seahaven from Portmeyron isn't cleared for debris until you investigate the elven presence in the Elemental Forge is another matter. Other games in the series tends to use the Ability Required to Proceed variant (learning skills to pass mountains and forests in I-V, learning flight or water-walking to get to island areas on maps in VI-IX — one of the late-game dungeons in VIII is on the starting map, but you can't get to it until later), although VII has The Pit/Celeste, with the teleporter to each locked-down until you align (at which point both activate).

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_c69ae9b2	comment	Self-Destruct Mechanism: Might and Magic VI and VII, as well as Heroes of Might and Magic III deal with an alien invasion by the Kreegan "devils". It turns out that the Ancients who originally colonised the world also made a robot who would go to worlds attacked by the aliens and eliminate the threat at any cost. In VIII, he has arrived and his programming kicked in and started the self-destruct mechanism of the entire world, even though you already defeated the aliens. The endgame of V: Corak initiates his own self-destruct to (finally) take down Sheltem. It works. A minor one in VI; if you aren't paying attention and forget to pick up a vital scroll before going to the Kreegan hive to destroy it, the resulting explosion destroys the planet in a rather well-done cinematic. In the spinoff Swords of Xeen, you need to use the mechanism to destroy the Ancient spaceship. One spell lets you teleport outside, since the timer is linked only to attempts on exiting the spacecraft.

Nobody, not even the nobles, knows how to deal with them properly barring the strategy of killing as many of them as possible. Most of the game is spent by getting access to then reactivate the Oracle Melian, an entity that might know more about them. They do, and they provide you with a means of getting the weapons that can damage and destroy the reactor in Kreegan's Hive. The titular Destroyer in VIII. His visit and creation of the Great Crystal in the middle of town during the introductory cutscene leaves all of Ravenshore bewildered about what the hell just happened, with his intentions shrouded in mist. Then the portals to the elemental planes open and unleash destructive forces on Murmurwoods, the Dagger Wounds Islands, Ravage Roaming and Ironsand. The plot of the game essentially consists of collecting clues about the disasters in Jadame, trying to stich them together to figure out Escaton's plan, and then stopping him.

Oh, and if you play through 100 years... nothing happens. Similarly, in World of Xeen, one of the options in the starting town (at least on Darkside) is to spend a week as a laborer for a bit of cash. Combine this with the compound interest the banks provide, and you can spend a century or two before you do anything just accumulating cash. Not to worry, though... apparently XEEN steers and/or accelerates like a tub, because there hasn't been any noticeable climate change yet. Subverted at one moment in VIII. There's a moment where you try to infiltrate Regna so ships with your allies may pass. You can start the quest anytime you want, but once you kill named pirate in Pirate Outpost and access Regna you should finish the quest in one go. It doesn't really matter much how long you take as long as you stay on Regan; but if you teleport elsewhere to do other business, the Pirates will attack Ravenshore.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_d013cd12	comment	Loveable Rogues: In VII, William Lasker, the Master of Thieves, who lives in the Sewers in Erathia, obviously qualifies. You hear from some townsfolk that Queen Catherine could likely arrest him any time she wants, but turns a blind eye because she approves of his actions. When you actually meet him, it's clear the rumors are true; first he gives you this first Thief promotion quest (which helps you get even with the guy who conned you in the beginning by robbing his house) and later, he proves to be on the side of the Path of Light by giving you the Rogue to Spy Promotion Quest. (Assuming you pick the Path of Light.) The heroes play this part in X, being Raiders, a type of shady adventurer which many folk believe are lawless folk who refuse to pledge loyalty to any formal authority (both the government or the Dragons), and are Only in It for the Money. This is true to a certain extent - the eighth rule of their ten-part code is "Treasure is treasure", meaning that if something is valuable, you should take it, and not judge what it was used for. However, a lot of the code does deal with honor among allies and comrades, the first rule being "Life is worth more than gold", meaning that nothing is so valuable that you should risk the lives of your companions to get it. (The second rule is, if a Raider violates the first rule and lets a comrade die to gain wealth, he is a traitor who deserves death, and a true Raider's duty is to deliver that punishment.)

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_d3510138	comment	Right on the Tick: These games use a clock and a calendar, and quite a few important tasks you have to do depend on certain dates and times. One of the worst is the Druid promotion quests in VI (which, fortunately, are really only necessary if one of your characters is a Druid). The quest for promotion to Great Druid requires you to go and pray at a holy site. Simple enough, right? The Quest Giver requires you to do it on an equinox or a solstice, which means there are four days in a year where you can complete this. At least the place isn't hard to get to. The Great Druid to Grand Druid quest is even worse. You have to pray at another holy site on midnight on the night of a full moon. (Twelve days in a year you can complete that one.) The â€œcatchâ€� is, this holy site is in a dungeon full of monsters, and you must do it exactly at midnight. (You should probably make sure to clear out the monsters first.) Obelisk puzzle in VIII is probably the worst, as not only you're limited to a midday of a single day to fulfill the condition but you have to visit all obelisks before that as well, which in case of one on Regna won't happen until the end of the second act.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_d397657d	comment	Hoist by His Own Petard: In general, the "Armageddon" spell might result in this if you don't keep an eye on your HP while recasting it. Same with spells with splash or area-of-effect damage such as Dragon Breath or Meteor Shower if you don't keep your distance. All of them at least warn you about it in description. It is entirely possible to do this to yourself by using the artifact Splitter in VII. Artifacts and Relics are supposed to differ by Relics having drawbacks, which is technically true... but Explosive Impact doesn't count as a drawback, despite the fact that Splitter is a melee weapon, and there is no way to completely protect yourself from Fire damage. The Regnans in VIII first are infiltrated by the heroes by means of a Regnan submarine the party hijacked while on a supply run. Then the party uses a Regnan prototype super-cannon to sink a good chunk of the Regnan fleet. In X, the Runepriest's Searing Rune skill is especially prone to this. What it does is placing a rune on the ground that damages everyone standing on it or on nearby tiles. Normally the rune is placed with one tile space from you in the direction you're looking, so you're safe. However, if you have enemies right in front of you, it will place the rune directly under them... meaning that you're within its range and with its damage it can quite likely spell Total Party Kill.

His only flaw is that Empress Falcon is a far more benign Chessmaster, manipulating the heroes too in order to counter his moves, eventually making a brilliant checkmate. In VII, the man manipulating Queen Catherine's spy network from his lair in the Erathian Sewers is named Lasker. note Dr Emanuel Lasker was world chess champion for the first 20 years of last century.

However, the magic is still very real and the Ancients brought elves, dwarves, orcs, halflings, etc. over on the vessels that colonized these planets as well as humans, and themselves seem to have practiced an advanced synthesis of technology and magic. Later games would introduce the Science Fiction elements earlier; Might & Magic VI and VII, for example, allowed you to mow down Liches with your blaster pistols. Or be a Lich. With a laser pistol, and scuba gear, and infiltrating a spaceship to steal technology.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_e1ff8ff6	comment	Fantasy Kitchen Sink: Everything. The series had already started as a mix of science fiction and fantasy fiction, with robots and ancient alien technology joining in as early as III. Turns out most worlds were flat artificial worlds built by cosmic elemental forces in space, led by Ancients, godlike humanoids. Around IV and V, the world-threatening Big Bad is already established as a rogue robot, and there are many Lost Technology droids running around. The world protector Dragon Pharaoh lives in a technological havens pyramids and has a lot of high-tech equipment to manage "nacelle" worlds. In VI, it is eventually revealed that this particular world is a normal planet, but colonized by a VARN ship with the ship personnel's passwords directly ripped from Star Trek, the ship being a literal Egyptian pyramid with engines, now protected by rogue elemental constructs resembling Anubis and Djinni. Also the sixth and seventh games give an Infinity +1 Sword in the shape of blasters, literal laser weapons to destroy the final bosses, though they can be used for annihilating all the enemies up to that point with vengeance. It kicks into overdrive in VII as the party from the third game lands on Antagarich in an escape spacecraft and splits up to support opposing factions, to either restore the Golden Age of Technology or conquer the world with weapons from a Star Trek style Replicator, respectively. By its zenith, the series had featured everything from cosmic energy beings to standard fantasy races and undead, robots, lasergun-wielding Liches and Terminator robots. The "science fiction" aspect declines sharply at VIII to mere snippets of lore and the Big Bad being an android sent to destroy worlds infested by demon-like aliens by caging the Lords of the Elemental Planes and dislocating the elemental balance of the planet. In the ninth game, all science fiction seems axed and the setting is harshly pulled into Norse mythology, and it's all downhill from there.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_e38b0f45	comment	This might happen to your castle in the same game, depending on your actions. In the beginning, a member of the Mercenary Guild offers to give you a Wand of Fireballs for free in exchange for a "favor to do later". If you accept this offer (and the Wand does make the scavenger hunt easier) then the Guild calls you after you choose a Path and tells you that the favor is to steal a tapestry from whoever you've allied yourself with. If you refuse to do this, Harmondale - and your castle - is invaded by goblins and swordsmen in two weeks. (Actually, it's better to refuse and let the attack come, because if you do steal from your allies, it will take two years game time or a jail sentence for them to forgive you, and there's almost no reward from the Guild; on the other hand, fighting off the attack earns you gold and experience.)

If you find out what the secret is, it's rather scandalous; his lover is a dark elf who saved his life years ago (dark elves are universally thought of as evil in these games). He does nothing to discourage you from exposing his secret at all, and whether you tell the inquisitor the exact truth or manipulate the words a little to make his actions seem legit is up to you. (Lord Haart is also the primary Grandmaster trainer of the Sword skill, so reporting him to the inquisitor means you have to get training from a different and harder to find NPC.) This is also the whole point of the Fortress of Crows side quest, which takes place in a dungeon created by fan surveys on the Uplay website. An Evil Sorceress has cursed the restless spirits of two lovers, keeping them apart eternally, and the heroes' mission is to defeat the villain and reunite them.

This carries its own risk, however: once a character hits a certain age, they'll die in their sleep every time you visit an inn. In Enrothian trilogy the characters age as the game progresses. There is some relation with training too, as training for level takes 7 days, but that should not impact the age of your party members too much. There's actually a bonus for characters that 50 - 75 years old in Personality and Intelligence while their physical stats start taking a penalty already, which can benefit them if they're magically inclined. There are fountains of youth to fix this, of course. There are also curses of aging, too, so watch out.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_e8dda3a2	comment	Neglectful Precursors: Subverted. The Ancients seem to have vanished from the face of the galaxy, leaving the inhabitants of their various artificial worlds to deal with the likes of Sheltem and the Kreegan. However, it's not that simple: as VIII makes clear, they are fighting the Kreegan, they just don't have the resources to save their lost colonies and experiments from the Kreegan most of the time (or, for that matter, to destroy most infested colonies), what with the ongoing galaxy-scale war. Sheltem, a multi-world threat who is completely impossible for heroes from a Lost Colony to defeat, rates only a single Corak unit with no backup.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_e9d0e7ce	comment	Useless Item: Quite a few through series: VI has The Flute, which was related to the quest that was Dummied Out afterwards. In Control Center you can get a bunch of Control Cubes and Memory Crystals, but they are of no use at this point of the game. Depending on your path in VII, Dragon Eggs can be this, since they serve no purpose if you're on Path of Light. Zig-Zagged with scroll of Lloyd's Beacon. Since this spell requires to set a beacon first, you need to have at least two to make any use of it. Therefore having a single scroll of this spell is useless, and good luck getting two. In VIII you can find the quest item Druid Circlet of Power, but the related quest was Dummied Out as well.

He does nothing to discourage you from exposing his secret at all, and whether you tell the inquisitor the exact truth or manipulate the words a little to make his actions seem legit is up to you. (Lord Haart is also the primary Grandmaster trainer of the Sword skill, so reporting him to the inquisitor means you have to get training from a different and harder to find NPC.)

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_ef4d8558	comment	A World Half Full: Xeen gets the worst crapsack stick out of any of the games. Not only is it a turbulent world full of monsters and dungeons with civilization limited to small pockets, but roughly half of the towns are ruined and cursed hellholes, the Queen of the Darkside is a prisoner and a vampire, her most loyal followers are trapped in an out-of-phase castle, and the majority of the other castles are controlled by minions of Sheltem or other villains instead of merely selfish yet potentially helpful lords. So what's different from the other games? In the other games, your involvement doesn't usually fix much beyond merely saving the world from Sheltem's current plot and completing a couple of quests. On Xeen, you can break the curses on the towns, establish a castle-town that will be a vital center of civilization, and reunite the two sides of Xeen both physically and metaphorically. Furthermore, unlike the selfish and amoral lords of Varn and Cron or the kings of Terra who only care about their own feud, King Burlock, his younger brother Prince Roland, and Queen Kalindra are all actively involved in fighting Sheltem and in protecting and rebuilding their world.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_f2d8e3c2	comment	The expansion, The Falcon and the Unicorn, has Duke Owen, an ambitious noble who seeks to use the chaos Erebos caused in the main campaign to make a bid for the Imperial throne. Far more subtle than Erebos, his long-term Evil Plan is to woo Empress Falcon, marry her, become her royal consort, and once an heir is born, arrange for an "accident" to befall her. However, he has to get rid of "complications" first, like the ones who got rid of Erebos... This is actually a back-up plan. The original plan was to take advantage of the situation in the Agyn Peninsula to discredit the Empress politically (Duke Owen is the leader of the nobles opposing the Empress's reform plans, which is how he intends to make her marry him — by framing it as a reconciliation move), with some minor help to one of the bandit groups in the Peninsula to help keep the situation unstable, but then a certain group went and managed to get the situation resolved, and the Empress turned out to have arranged it...

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_f3cf30d9	comment	Arbitrary Headcount Limit: A maximum of six main characters in the original DOS-era games (I to V), exactly four main characters in VI, VII and IX, a maximum of five in VIII. Several of these offer two additional slots for hirelings; these are for most purposes full-blown characters in II and III, but serve other purposes in the games from VI on. VI, VII and IX all provide reasons for why those four characters stick together: in VI and IX, they are childhood friends that grow up in the same village, while in VII the driving force of the plot for a good chunk of the game is a shared noble title the four got in the prologue. VI and VII fail to explain why you can only hire two Hirelings, however. In X you are also only allowed two hirelings, but an added limitation makes it more difficult. With some quests, the Quest Giver has to tag along with you, taking up space as a hireling — quest-related characters could tag along in VI and VII as well, but did not count against the hireling limited. (All of the quest NPCs, thankfully, provide some kind of benefit.)

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_f4fd424c	comment	All Your Base Are Belong to Us: You can do this in an early part of VII. Outside of Harmondale, there's an open-air goblin outpost with some magical cannons that shoot powerful fireballs. If you manage to get onto it (the goblins sometime fry themselves by accident by aiming at targets that are too close) about two dozen more goblins surround the place, at which point you can commandeer the cannons and use them yourself. (It's not only an easy way to get rid of them, it's downright fun. So long as you don't aim at a target that's too close, like the ones in the fortress who were already dead when you got there did...) If one looks into the chests there, one can find a letter that says the goblins having the outpost is itself a result of this — apparently, it was originally built by Harmondalians, but was overrun by goblins some time ago. This might happen to your castle in the same game, depending on your actions. In the beginning, a member of the Mercenary Guild offers to give you a Wand of Fireballs for free in exchange for a "favor to do later". If you accept this offer (and the Wand does make the scavenger hunt easier) then the Guild calls you after you choose a Path and tells you that the favor is to steal a tapestry from whoever you've allied yourself with. If you refuse to do this, Harmondale - and your castle - is invaded by goblins and swordsmen in two weeks. (Actually, it's better to refuse and let the attack come, because if you do steal from your allies, it will take two years game time or a jail sentence for them to forgive you, and there's almost no reward from the Guild; on the other hand, fighting off the attack earns you gold and experience.)

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_f818b637	comment	Dude, Where's My Respect?: Played pretty much straight in all of the games. Particularly bad in VII, as your party actually rules the town where your own subjects treat you like dirt. The latter is somewhat justified by the town's complete lack of faith in your ability to rule being a central plot point, but their attitude doesn't improve as much as one might expect after you have clearly asserted your authority. Their dialogue does change after you've cleared out and renovated Castle Harmondale, but you can't put the last of their doubts to rest until you choose a new arbiter and end the war. The problem is, starting with VI, you have a Reputation Score people are mean to you if it's low, and it's much harder to raise it than it is to lower it. (The bad things you do stick out in people's minds longer than the good things, which makes sense, sort of.) One example: In VI, one of the first available Side Quests you have is from the first NPC you meet in the game, who asks you to get a candelabra from the abandoned temple outside of town. It's not required, but you probably should, because it's an easy job, and a good way to get some fast gold and experience, which you kind of need early in the game. Unfortunately, seeing as the candelabra in question belonged to some evil cult, it lowers your Reputation Score, and the townsfolk aren't going to like you right off the bat. Even worse, having a bad Reputation Score can sometimes require you to do things that make it even worse. Some important or even mandatory quests require you to find and recruit NPCs, and if you have a bad reputation, they won't listen to you when you talk to them. Threatening them usually works, but that lowers your Reputation Score even more. (You're going to end up as Heroes With Bad Publicity before winning these games, most likely.) In X, the heroes likely wouldn't expect much respect, being Raiders, a type of adventurer with a shady reputation that few people trust. However, much of the first part of the game is spent earning that trust, and you do so rather quickly.

If you want to master Dark Magic (and you want, seeing as it has strongest spells in the game and best defensive buff), you need to have worst reputation possible, which requires you to do some nasty things. Within five minutes of starting a new game in VII, you can "encourage" a swarm of vicious dragonflies to slaughter an entire town... and get away with it totally blameless.

The Armageddon spell in games VI-VIII would cause massive damage to everything in the current outdoor map, if it was not immune to magic or darkness damage. This meant that, while weak enemies and civilians would be instantly killed by one casting of the spell (generally killing off every peasant in every town on the map at once), stronger enemies and the party would generally take multiple castings. And yes, the party was vulnerable to the spell it would cast. The cruelty potential comes from the fact that the spell was the quickest way to get the worst reputation, if used on the innocent. The reputation was needed for ranking up in Dark Magic and being able to cast Armageddon more times each day. Fortunately, you could undo all your butchery just by using the Dark spell "Reanimate" on the slain peasants, as long as you hadn't looted their dead bodies. This should have turned them into zombies, I suppose, but they showed no obvious sign of it and didn't seem to mind. Bringing the dead back to life didn't fix your reputation, though... putting a few shillings in the church poorbox was the quick fix for that. Even as early as the second iteration you could commit genocide, though it was limited to enemy races. Specifically, it was possible to find peaceful goblin villages and wipe them out. One quest in the second game requires you to go look for a couple of lost artifacts for Lord Haart. One, the +7 Loincloth, is worn by a peaceful barbarian shaman and can only be acquired off his dead body.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_f9339f97	comment	The Druid is a mix between the Sorcerer and the Cleric and thus, able to access every school of magic. but again, only at Master level at most. However, it's the only class that can reach Grandmaster level in potion mixing, and it is the class that can have the most points to cast spells with (as it both benefits from Intellect and Personality, and is the only class that can reach Grandmaster in Meditation, the skill that directly adds magic points).

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_f97ab6a5	comment	Suicidal Overconfidence: In general, the moment the enemies detect you, they chase after you with wild abandon (or shoot at you, if they have ranged attacks, which is smarter approach) no matter if you just entered your first dungeon or you're clad in artifacts from head to toes and possessing weapons that the enemy doesn't even recognize. This is somewhat logical for feral monsters (wolves, harpies) or for those at the top of food chain (dragons, behemoths) but why does a group of lowly raiders still chase you after seeing you disintegrate their pals with weird-looking fireball?

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_f9c17447	comment	The Remnant: The Cult of Baa in VI is a powerful and influential religion that worships the Kreegans and are the major antagonists for most part of that game. However in VII, after the Kreegan's defeat in VI and Heroes 3, they're pretty much this. When you enter their only temple in Erathia, the description mentions that it's in a decayed state as if to mirror what happened with the cult, and you can read a letter from Xenofex telling the remaining cultists to regroup and go into hiding, hoping that maybe in the future they can recover from their loses.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_fb111d49	type	Sequence Breaking
Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_fb111d49	comment	Mostly averted in the Enrothian trilogy, as once you learn "Fly" you can basically go wherever you want to, a few really scarce exceptions aside (such as the central volcano in Nighon in VII, which requires hotkeying the "Jump" spell to get to the top, or the Plane of Fire in VIII, which has paths suspended over lava so high that you can't fly above it most of the time). It is as broken as it sounds. Played straight, however, in dungeons, where the spell doesn't work at all for some reason, mostly to prevent Sequence Breaking. This also makes trekking through bigger dungeons a hassle.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_fbc074c3	comment	Starting in VII, you can't sell artifacts you find (that are tagged as Special Items), and if you pick up any that you can't use, you may have to throw them in the garbage. And there's more than you might think. Many can only be used by a specific Player Character race, like the sword Elfbane (only a goblin can use it, assuming he or she's a class that can use a sword), or can only be used by Good or Evil characters (Ethric's Staff is useful for your Sorcerer if you're on the Path of Dark, but worthless if you're on the Path of Light, and if you are on the Path of Dark and find Taledon's Helm, you have the opposite problem.) Also, any character can wear the Cloak of the Moon or the Cloak of the Sun, but because the first augments Dark spells (which you can't learn if you're on the Path of Light) and the second augments Light spells (same problem if you're on the Path of Dark) one of them isn't going to be any good. The only way to get rid of these priceless artifacts - other than just stash them in your castle - is to throw them away.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_fc07d409	type	Hopeless Boss Fight
Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_fc07d409	comment	Hopeless Boss Fight: The MegaDragon from II is supposed to be a hopeless fight, though it can be defeated by insanely over-leveled characters using powerful spells. You're supposed to give King Kalohn the Plot Coupons to allow him to win the fight. In V, trying to face Sheltem in combat gets you automatically pwned. The only way to win is to recruit a more powerful ally and watch an awesome cutscene battle. There's something like this early in VII. There's a cave on Emerald Island, where you start the game, where there's a Red Dragon, which is likely far too strong for you to defeat. However, when you first enter, it will be preoccupied with some rats before it sees you. (The idea is for you to grab the two items you need and get out before it manages.) Note that it is possible to kill it using real time combat mode, bows, and lot of Save Scumming, as this guy proves. In X, the Final Battle is like this; if you attack him directly, reducing him to about half his health Erebos will drive him away for a little while; he'll always return after a few rounds, fully healed. (Driving him away and killing his Faceless and dark elf minions - who are much easier - does give you time to rest and heal, however.) To win the battle and truly kill him, you have to gather all the Solar Sigil Pieces in the huge arena and put them into the machine, which kills Erebos forever if you are successful.

VIII had the Grand Temple of Eep, the Chapel of Eep and the Church of Eep, all part of a quest to find rare cheese - the followers of Eep are wererats. In some games Artifacts/Relics have some naming scheme to them as well, such as Artifactsin VI being named after the characters from Legend of Arthur. Every trainer in Might and Magic VII is named after a Roman emperor.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_fe1b2e75	type	Bigger on the Inside
Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_fe1b2e75	comment	Bigger on the Inside: All games, but especially notable in VI where multiple dungeons are bigger than the maps where they are supposed to be located. Granted, some of them are partly underground, but the places such as Castle Darkmoor or Alamos and especially Tomb of VARN have no such excuse. This can be particularly frustrating once you learn Fly which allows you to move quickly in exteriors, but doesn't work in dungeons, leaving you to trek great distances afoot. X plays with this; rasters of cities/dungeons can be much bigger that the world raster would suggest, but moving on tiles in dungeon moves time slower, implying smaller and more detailed rasters for dungeons than for world map.

Might and Magic (Video Game) / int_fe61495d	comment	Grail in the Garbage: Yeah, you can find some powerful stuff in these games lying around in unlikely places. Very early in many games, if you check out the stables in the towns you have easy access to, you're likely to find horseshoes. Of course, a stable is a place where you'd expect to find horseshoes, most likely, but in these games, horseshoes increase your Skill Points by 2 when you use them, making them incredibly valuable. Starting in VII, you can't sell artifacts you find (that are tagged as Special Items), and if you pick up any that you can't use, you may have to throw them in the garbage. And there's more than you might think. Many can only be used by a specific Player Character race, like the sword Elfbane (only a goblin can use it, assuming he or she's a class that can use a sword), or can only be used by Good or Evil characters (Ethric's Staff is useful for your Sorcerer if you're on the Path of Dark, but worthless if you're on the Path of Light, and if you are on the Path of Dark and find Taledon's Helm, you have the opposite problem.)

When talking to peasants and other NPCs, a voice will say "Hello" or an equivalent greeting, and if you don't know that it's the voice of your currently active character (not the voice of the NPC he/she's talking to), it can seem like this as well.
