This is the final game in the Might and Magic spinoff series developed by New World Computing, before the company and its parent, 3DO went bankrupt.


Heroes of Might and Magic IV is the fourth installment in the critically acclaimed turn-based strategy game series, and the last game to be developed byNew World Computing. The game includes 6 different factions, each with unique constructions , units and abilities. In order to conquer land and collect treasure, creatures and heroes must be recruited. Heroes in the game can advance up to level 70 and can learn skills that are based on other factions. An unique feature in this installment of the franchise is the inclusion of heroes on the battlefield. Previous games had the heroes play a more passive supporter role from the sidelines. The battle system in the game is similar to chess in that both players take turns to make their moves, by deciding where their unit shall move or attack. Each creature has its own damage , defense , and ability skill  during combat.   In game you need resources to build and recruit units and also to buy potions and some minor items for your heroes . The resources are: Gold (Object), crystals , gems ,wood , ore , sulphurand mercury .
