DIE FORTSETZUNG DES PREISGEKRÖNTEN SPIELS MIGHT AND MAGIC’

LANG LEBE DER KÖNIG?

Nach jahrelangem Frieden unter der gütigen Herrschaft des Lord Ironfist wird das Land Enroth wieder in Wirren und Unruhe gestüzt. Ironfists Zwillingssöhne, der eine gut, der andere Böse, wetteifern um den Thron, und Du mußt entscheiden, für welche Seite Du Dich im kommenden Krieg stark machen willst.

Wirst Du Dich auf die Seite des niederträchtigen Thronräubers schlagen und seine heimtückischen Horden anführen, oder dem rechtmäßigen Thronfolger treu bleiben und die Heere des Lichts befehligen?

Die Entscheidung liegt bei Dir. Es ist eine ungeheure Herausforderung, und auf den, der scheitert, wartet der Tod.

Bei Heroes of Might and Magic II’ gibt es mehr Zaubersprüche, doppelt so viele Ungeheuer und mehr Spieloptionen. Außerdem kommen zwei neue Heldentypen hinzu: Wizard und Necromancer (Hexenmeister und Nekromant), und mehrere Spieler können mitmachen.

Wie lange wirst Du überleben?
