The "Might and Magic" and "Heroes of Might and Magic" games were a large part of my childhood. Personally, these games are the foundation to my understanding and expectations of anything in the fantasy genre.

I like Warhammer: Total War. However, I prefer the almost textbook archetypes/playable-civs in HOMM(1-3) over the dark and gritty palate of the Warhammer franchise. A new version of HOMM in the total war style would be amazing. Especially, if I had the option to doomstack Gremlins (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hxKjBeVvro8/hqdefault.jpg).

If you liked HoMM, check out Songs of Conquest[0]. It captures the style and feel very very well, and I like it a lot. I pine for it a lot, as I don't really have much time to play these days.

I love homm so much and still play it from time to time and they are still so damn good. I really love how South Park has always used similar background music to set the mood lol

another one with big nostalgia feels in the same medieval fantasy vein from back then is Lord's of the Realm 2. I still hold a grudge to this day with that cold bitch, The Countess...
