Heroes of Might and Magic Olden Era could be Ubisoft's redemption

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I don’t get on with games that simulate real life. Being a crime lord doesn’t interest me (my mom will be pleased to hear that), and whiling away the hours working in virtual dockyards or transporting fragile goods around the world simply doesn’t pique my interest. When I think of the strategy genre, then, it’s largely with a sigh. While I’ve dabbled in games such as Paradox’s Age of Wonders and Lionhead Studios’ classic Black and White, the vast majority of strategy releases deal in hard facts, careful management, and high school grade math that my 28-year-old self has long forgotten. In short: I prefer traversing fantasy worlds in the first or third-person, sword in hand, instead of machinating away in the sky like some sort of mysterious, mathematically-challenged god.
