Heroes of Might and Magic 2 Wasteland Terrain Animatic (1996, New World Computing) 720p Animated
10The Wasteland Terrain Theme from Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars.
The tune exudes an aura of foreboding. It makes you feel as though you're traveling through a blasted land, devoid of most life. An inhospitable badlands, waiting to devour through harsh conditions all who enter it.
Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars is a turn-based strategy game developed for Microsoft Windows by New World Computing. It was the first Might and Magic title published by The 3DO Company and the second installment in the Heroes of Might and Magic series.
The sequel to Heroes of Might and Magic: A Strategic Quest, it was released on October 1, 1996 to extreme critical acclaim, and was hailed with several awards from numerous publications, meeting with high sales. It received two expansion packs, Heroes II: The Price of Loyalty and Heroes II: Desecrated Lands, and was followed by a sequel, Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia, in 1999. It was also partially ported to the Game Boy Color by KnowWonder in 2000.
It is followed by Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Shadow of Death in the series chronology.
For the first and, as of yet, only time in the series, the campaign is split into two branches of scenarios, offering players the choice to support either Roland or Archibald (and, midway through, a chance to betray the heir and side with the enemy or continue to support him). Roland's campaign was confirmed the canonical progression of events in Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven, with many events from Archibald's campaign discounted. In the campaign, the player is represented by The Commander, an unseen general who can choose to serve either heir.
Heroes II opens 25 years after the defeat of Lord Alamar. Morglin Ironfist has died of old age, leaving two heirs to the throne of the Kingdom of Enroth: his sons Roland and Archibald. By tradition, the choice of the heir falls under the Royal Seer's jurisdiction; Archibald, hungry for power, secretly murders the Seer and several of his successors, eventually bribing the most malleable replacement and issuing a proclamation against his brother. Roland flees Castle Ironfist for his westerly summer palace before Archibald can detain him, and incites a continent-wide rebellion against Archibald, initiating the Succession Wars.
