Game is pretty good and can be fun.

But wow, does Ubisoft make it ever increasingly annoying to get to play it. A stupid launcher which i have to launch as Admin and where i have to input my password every single time i want to launch the game. Having to edit a config file to launch the game without getting a blackscreen. And still it crashes from time to time.

Paranoid Ubisoft makes it so stupidly hard to play a game i bought and paid for. This game singlehandedly made me stop buying Ubisoft games, and as a long-time Heroes Fan i find that a bit sad.

What pushed me over the edge to write this review was when my wife and i wanted to play a game of Heroes today. It took me more than an hour to even get to launch the game, because i hadn't had it installed on this PC.

Also, there aren't really a lot of maps which can reasonably played in coop available. And of course no random map generator.

If you are thinking about buying this game, buy an Age of Wonders game instead. Or Heroes 3 if you haven't played that to death.

Ubisoft launcher and Uplay are cancerous growths which suck the fun out of this otherwise pretty fun title.
