Comprehensive H3 player survey
I thought this might be interesting from just the curiosity point of view. People have answered many of these question in various threads at HC, but I thought it might be cool to get it all in one place.
This is a large questionnaire of H3 players (past, present and future players). It would be nice if as many people as possible answered the questions, and answered them honestly. It's not a place to brag about how much H3 you've played.
Comments and suggestions for additional questions are welcome. The idea is to get a good profile of people who play H3.
Edit: All questions refer to Heroes 3 unless it says otherwise.
Here goes:
1. Easy one. Have you ever played H3?
Game Ownership
2. Which versions/expansions of H3 do you own? Include Chronicles games also.
3. Do you have WOG? Do you currently have it installed?
4. Do you own/have played Kings Bounty? H1? H2? Did you play them before or after playing H3?
5. Do you own H4? Which H4 expansions?
6. Do you own H5?
7. Do you have downloaded/cracked HOMM games?
8. Which HOMM games and expansions (Kings Bounty thru H5) do you currently have installed?
9. What M&M games do you own or have played?
10. Do you use any player made add-ons besides WOG, like Hamachi(sp?), Cranim, etc.? Do you know what they are?
11. Are you familiar with/use RMG templates? Do you know what they are?
12. Do you have/played any of the other Heroes games like the console games, Legends, Crusaders, etc? Which ones?
13. PC or Mac or other?
Game Preferences and Experience
14. Do you currently play H3 at least sometimes?
15. If you no longer play, why? (got burned out, stopped when H4 or H5 came out, found better games, etc)
16. If you no longer play, do you think you'll play again in the future? Why?
17. How long have you owned any version of H3?
18. Do you play single or multi player? If both, what's the approximate portion of each?
19. Have you EVER played multi-player, even if only once?
20. If multi-player, do you play at a host, TCP/IP, hotseat, LAN?
21. Before the Zone closed, did you play at the Zone or GS?
22. How much time have you played H3? (your best guess)
a. <100 hours
b. 100-500
c. 500-1000
d. 1000-5000
e. 5000-10000
f. >10000
If borderline or unsure, you can give two letters, like bc.
23. Describe the most common maps you play. This includes every aspect of maps....CD maps, player made maps, CD random, RMG randoms, open/closed maps, size, # of players, etc. Name specific maps/templates if you want.
24. Do you tend to play just a few types of maps, towns and heroes? Or do you prefer a larger variety? Please do NOT name the towns/heroes...there's already lots of threads for that.
25. If you are a single player, would you like to see templates specifically designed for single player? What type of template? (size, richness/treasures, monster strength, allies, etc.)
26. Have you ever used the map editor?
27. Have you ever made a complete map that others have played? (your 2 best friends don't count as "others")
Personal stuff
If you don't want to answer, just leave blank, but please don't lie.
28. How old are you?
a. 12 or under
b. 13-17
c. 18-24
d. 25-29
e. 30-39
f. 40-49
g. 50-59
h. I remember when dinosaurs roamed the earth
29. Male/female?
HC Library Questions
30. Do you read library threads regularly?
31. Do you only scan thread titles/posters looking for something that might be new or interesting?
32. If there were new quality threads, would you participate as either a reader or poster, even if the subject has been covered before? (I'm not talking about worst of/ best of threads that have been driven into the ground)
33. Would you be interested in a thread on running tests and map editor basics?
34. Would you be interested in a thread just for beginners....one about things beginners could understand and actually do the recommendations? (hiring 7 heroes day 1 and taking crypts week 1 is NOT for complete beginners)
35. If you are fairly new to HC, are you able to easily find H3 info you want?
36. If you're new, do you look for answers to specific questions, or do you just browse randomly looking for good hints about the game?
37. If you are new, are there too many posts that are "over you head"? Do you have a hard time sorting it out when posters contradict each other?
38. What kind of threads would you like to read/participate? Strategy? Battle tactics? Facts and details about the game? Just shooting the bull about the game? Threads specific to single player or multi-player? Anything else?
39. This should have been earlier, but I don't want to re-number. In general, what types of games do you like? Real time/turn based, RPG, Strategy, shooters, sims, etc.
***************************
OK, so that was boring, but I think the results would be interesting if enough people answer.

There isn't much new content these days.
32. If there were new quality threads, would you participate as either a reader or poster, even if the subject has been covered before? (I'm not talking about worst of/ best of threads that have been driven into the ground)
I'd read it.
33. Would you be interested in a thread on running tests and map editor basics?
Don't need that.

So, what is for beginners ? Knowing the difference between skeletons and liches ?

Game Preferences and Experience
14. Do you currently play H3 at least sometimes?
Yes.
15. If you no longer play, why? (got burned out, stopped when H4 or H5 came out, found better games, etc)
---
16. If you no longer play, do you think you'll play again in the future? Why?
Yes, I'll keep on playing due to the fun of multi! 
17. How long have you owned any version of H3?
RoE: bought Dec 2003. January 2004 I found SoD with Armageddon's Blade. Last summer I found a standalone CD for Armageddon's Blade. Early 2006 I got Complete version through a greek pc-gaming-magazine.
18. Do you play single or multi player? If both, what's the approximate portion of each?
Both. I believe the current ratio is at about 50%-50% but multiplayer is my actual choice for games ever since I bumped into HC. However, it seems that I also spend a good amount of time for single gaming, mainly to test things out, i.e. I get bored and don't actually finish those games.
19. Have you EVER played multi-player, even if only once?
Yes
20. If multi-player, do you play at a host, TCP/IP, hotseat, LAN?
All but lately hotseat is not an option since I've installed a LAN on my home. (Yeah, lucky me!  )
21. Before the Zone closed, did you play at the Zone or GS?
Zone.
22. How much time have you played H3? (your best guess)
a. <100 hours
b. 100-500
c. 500-1000
d. 1000-5000
e. 5000-10000
f. >10000
If borderline or unsure, you can give two letters, like bc.
cd
23. Describe the most common maps you play. This includes every aspect of maps....CD maps, player made maps, CD random, RMG randoms, open/closed maps, size, # of players, etc. Name specific maps/templates if you want.
I 've played CD maps back when I was a single-player addict (didn't know about Zone! ). In the last 2 years I've played only RMGs apart from 2 maps: Eternal Love and a map a friend of mine made. I usually play RMGs on 1vs1 - mainly Balance and some times Blockbuster. On 2vs2 I am still looking for a good map/generator cause so far I 've played with some friends of mine on LAN / HotSeat. That's the reason I started developing my own template.
24. Do you tend to play just a few types of maps, towns and heroes? Or do you prefer a larger variety? Please do NOT name the towns/heroes...there's already lots of threads for that.
Regarding maps: See above.
Regarding towns: Castle, Rampart, Stronghold are my main Choices (I usually am not in the mood for other towns; hence I play them rarely). However, back when I was a single-player I used to play with Dungeon...
Regarding Heroes: It really depends on the map, the opponent... If I have to mention something is that I haven't played with a magic hero the last 2 years (apart from 1 occasion on the map a friend of mine made). Although I always pick a hero on the initial screen, I do not always use this hero as main.
25. If you are a single player, would you like to see templates specifically designed for single player? What type of template? (size, richness/treasures, monster strength, allies, etc.)
I always prefer poor maps and of course maps that can be played on multiplayer. For example, in my 2vs2 template the strongest artifact is a +4 Attack / Defense Bonus in the treasure area. Anyway, I have little interest on singleplayer maps.
26. Have you ever used the map editor?
Yes.
27. Have you ever made a complete map that others have played? (your 2 best friends don't count as "others")
No. Only template.
Personal stuff
If you don't want to answer, just leave blank, but please don't lie.
28. How old are you?
a. 12 or under
b. 13-17
c. 18-24
d. 25-29
e. 30-39
f. 40-49
g. 50-59
h. I remember when dinosaurs roamed the earth
26
29. Male/female?
Male.
HC Library Questions
30. Do you read library threads regularly?
Yes.
31. Do you only scan thread titles/posters looking for something that might be new or interesting?
Sometimes yes. Sometimes no.
32. If there were new quality threads, would you participate as either a reader or poster, even if the subject has been covered before? (I'm not talking about worst of/ best of threads that have been driven into the ground)
If the thread was not "closed" soon (i.e. the thread is redirected), then the answer is yes.
33. Would you be interested in a thread on running tests and map editor basics?
Yes.
34. Would you be interested in a thread just for beginners....one about things beginners could understand and actually do the recommendations? (hiring 7 heroes day 1 and taking crypts week 1 is NOT for complete beginners)
Yes.
35. If you are fairly new to HC, are you able to easily find H3 info you want?
Yes, but am I new?
36. If you're new, do you look for answers to specific questions, or do you just browse randomly looking for good hints about the game?
?
37. If you are new, are there too many posts that are "over you head"? Do you have a hard time sorting it out when posters contradict each other?
This is sometimes frustrating.
38. What kind of threads would you like to read/participate? Strategy? Battle tactics? Facts and details about the game? Just shooting the bull about the game? Threads specific to single player or multi-player? Anything else?
Anything. And as has been stated many times, there is no diferrence between single and multiplayer.
39. This should have been earlier, but I don't want to re-number. In general, what types of games do you like? Real time/turn based, RPG, Strategy, shooters, sims, etc.
Turn based and strategy at the same time. Otherwise there is no real hope for the game to be attractive... Last time I played a shoot-em-up was around 1990.

23. Describe the most common maps you play. This includes every aspect of maps....CD maps, player made maps, CD random, RMG randoms, open/closed maps, size, # of players, etc. Name specific maps/templates if you want. If single player, I play maps such as Unleashing the Bloodthirsty, Lord of War, Angelic Pride Series, etc... If I play 1 vs 1 online, I generally play randoms with rmg templates.

HC Library Questions
30. Do you read library threads regularly? I used to... now I just skim through or reference threads that I found useful at one time.
31. Do you only scan thread titles/posters looking for something that might be new or interesting? Thread titles can be misleading sometimes, so I will skim through the thread regardless. As for posters, there are some that I will look for because they have a reputation for making interesting or useful posts..
32. If there were new quality threads, would you participate as either a reader or poster, even if the subject has been covered before? (I'm not talking about worst of/ best of threads that have been driven into the ground) Yes (mostly as a reader due to the fact that I wouldn't want to ruin that person's thread with my babble)
33. Would you be interested in a thread on running tests and map editor basics? Sure
34. Would you be interested in a thread just for beginners....one about things beginners could understand and actually do the recommendations? (hiring 7 heroes day 1 and taking crypts week 1 is NOT for complete beginners) Sure; however, many of those threads exist already. BTW, 7 heroes day 1 is not necessarily a guideline to follow for every template.
35. If you are fairly new to HC, are you able to easily find H3 info you want? Things would be much easier to find if each thread were automatically assigned a category and a name based on the true meaning/value of that thread. Looking at a thread titled WTF? A new reader may not know to look in that thread to find how to take out a horde of dragons week 4, etc.
36. If you're new, do you look for answers to specific questions, or do you just browse randomly looking for good hints about the game? When I was new, I spent hours and hours looking for hints and tips in every thread possible. After reading hundreds of threads, I began to associate the quality posts/threads with certain people and at that point would focus more on posts made by those people.
37. If you are new, are there too many posts that are "over you head"? Do you have a hard time sorting it out when posters contradict each other? As a new reader, yes. Then it all depends on who the 2 people are that are contradicting each other... (Maretti and Angelito, you would see a good debate and learn something from both,.... Maretti or Angelito and Lady Gwen, I think the answer would be obvious even for a new commer.
38. What kind of threads would you like to read/participate? Strategy? Battle tactics? Facts and details about the game? Just shooting the bull about the game? Threads specific to single player or multi-player? Anything else? I like reading threads on GOOD strategy and GOOD battle tactics. What I would be most interested in is situational battles... battle that are risky, but will give you that edge.
39. This should have been earlier, but I don't want to re-number. In general, what types of games do you like? Real time/turn based, RPG, Strategy, shooters, sims, etc. If Xbox, I like Madden 2006 or NCAA College Football 2006. On PC, RPG and Stragegy... but have never been hooked on a game quite like Heroes III

1. Easy one. Have you ever played H3?
Yes I have
Game Ownership
2. Which versions/expansions of H3 do you own? Include Chronicles games also.
RoE, SoD
3. Do you have WOG? Do you currently have it installed?
Yes. No.
4. Do you own/have played Kings Bounty? H1? H2? Did you play them before or after playing H3?
Only H2, and that 2 months ago, don't like it. Know, it's weird as I hears soooo many good things about it, but just didn't work for me. And that prolly because I've played it that much later than other versions.
5. Do you own H4? Which H4 expansions?
No, but did have it. Nothing of expansions.
6. Do you own H5?
Yes.
7. Do you have downloaded/cracked HOMM games?
Yep.
8. Which HOMM games and expansions (Kings Bounty thru H5) do you currently have installed?
Only H5 for now. But H3 is usually installed always, but recently formatted comp, and still didn't do that.
9. What M&M games do you own or have played?
6, 7, 8, and 9. Plus one older, but can't say which one.
10. Do you use any player made add-ons besides WOG, like Hamachi(sp?), Cranim, etc.? Do you know what they are?
Yes, and yes, do know what they are.
11. Are you familiar with/use RMG templates? Do you know what they are?
So, so...know what they are, can 'use' them, but don't think I have the knowledge to make them.
12. Do you have/played any of the other Heroes games like the console games, Legends, Crusaders, etc? Which ones?
Just Crusaders. Nice, but quite forgetable game.
13. PC or Mac or other?
PC
Game Preferences and Experience
14. Do you currently play H3 at least sometimes?
Not currently.
15. If you no longer play, why? (got burned out, stopped when H4 or H5 came out, found better games, etc)
Found better games? Now, that's just crazy talk Binabik.  Nah, as said, haven't installed it now, prolly will do soon, and as always in past, play it occasionally. Be it single, be it multi.
16. If you no longer play, do you think you'll play again in the future? Why?
Sure. It's the greatest game I've ever played.
17. How long have you owned any version of H3?
That I do not know exactly, prolly since 2000.
18. Do you play single or multi player? If both, what's the approximate portion of each?
Both. Now, or better said, last period of time when I played it, it was 100% single. Just didn't have the time for multi. In past, with lots of time, was quite different, around 80%-90% multi.
19. Have you EVER played multi-player, even if only once?
Yes.
20. If multi-player, do you play at a host, TCP/IP, hotseat, LAN?
Played all actually, but most on Zone, I guess that's 'host' in your options?
21. Before the Zone closed, did you play at the Zone or GS?
Zone.
22. How much time have you played H3? (your best guess)
a. <100 hours
b. 100-500
c. 500-1000
d. 1000-5000
e. 5000-10000
f. >10000
If borderline or unsure, you can give two letters, like bc.
Think it's e. really. Could it be f.? That's quite a lot. Maybe it's even d.
23. Describe the most common maps you play. This includes every aspect of maps....CD maps, player made maps, CD random, RMG randoms, open/closed maps, size, # of players, etc. Name specific maps/templates if you want.
Big ass single player 'story' maps like Unleashing the Bloodthirsty, Lord of War, To Kill For Power. So, player made maps. Never was a fan of CD maps. As for multi, started with some closed maps, but then randoms got my love.
24. Do you tend to play just a few types of maps, towns and heroes? Or do you prefer a larger variety? Please do NOT name the towns/heroes...there's already lots of threads for that.
All random is best for me. But if Crag is in tavern, my heart jumps with joy.
26. Have you ever used the map editor?
Yes.
27. Have you ever made a complete map that others have played? (your 2 best friends don't count as "others")
No.
Personal stuff
If you don't want to answer, just leave blank, but please don't lie.
28. How old are you?
d., soon to be e.
29. Male/female?
Male.
HC Library Questions
30. Do you read library threads regularly?
Pretty much before. Now mostly H5 forum, and can't wait to see Library regulars there. Miss your thoughts.
31. Do you only scan thread titles/posters looking for something that might be new or interesting?
Nah, open the thread, and then see if it's interesting.
32. If there were new quality threads, would you participate as either a reader or poster, even if the subject has been covered before? (I'm not talking about worst of/ best of threads that have been driven into the ground)
Sure, why not. But not sure if my posts would be of that quality.
33. Would you be interested in a thread on running tests and map editor basics?
Yep.
34. Would you be interested in a thread just for beginners....one about things beginners could understand and actually do the recommendations? (hiring 7 heroes day 1 and taking crypts week 1 is NOT for complete beginners)
Yes.
38. What kind of threads would you like to read/participate? Strategy? Battle tactics? Facts and details about the game? Just shooting the bull about the game? Threads specific to single player or multi-player? Anything else?
Actually all you mentioned.

Thanks for all the replies. I half expected this to be a "zero reply thread". Besides just curiosity, one thing I wanted to find out is if H3 is dead?....and more importantly, does the Library have a future?
Somehow it seems like it should be dry and boring, but I really enjoyed reading all the answers. They were mostly what I expected, but with a few surprises. I have several comments about the answers, but later.
Here's my own answers.
1. Easy one. Have you ever played H3? yes
2. Which versions/expansions of H3 do you own? Include Chronicles games also. ROE, AB, Platinum (I bought Platinum because I couldn't find SOD)
3. Do you have WOG? Do you currently have it installed? yes,yes
4. Do you own/have played Kings Bounty? H1? H2? Did you play them before or after playing H3? Have H1 & H2, but haven't played
5. Do you own H4? Which H4 expansions? H4 & Gathering Storm
6. Do you own H5? no, don't meet system requirements
7. Do you have downloaded/cracked HOMM games? no
8. Which HOMM games and expansions (Kings Bounty thru H5) do you currently have installed? Complete, H4, Gathering Storm
9. What M&M games do you own or have played? Have 1-9 (2 each of 3-7), only played 6 & 7 & half of 8
10. Do you use any player made add-ons besides WOG, like Hamachi(sp?), Cranim, etc.? Do you know what they are? Use Cranim, but it doesn't work when I play WOG
11. Are you familiar with/use RMG templates? Do you know what they are? yes, yes
12. Do you have/played any of the other Heroes games like the console games, Legends, Crusaders, etc? Which ones? no, I bought Legends once until I realized what it was and returned it to the store
13. PC or Mac or other? PC, have used Macs and Sun/Unix
14. Do you currently play H3 at least sometimes? yes, not nearly as much as I used to, but still a fair amount
15. If you no longer play, why? (got burned out, stopped when H4 or H5 came out, found better games, etc) N/A
16. If you no longer play, do you think you'll play again in the future? Why? N/A
17. How long have you owned any version of H3? not sure, for sure I owned it in late 1999 before I moved and had played it a fair amount by then. I didn't know anything about the series, so I don't know why I bought it, I guess I just liked the box
18. Do you play single or multi player? If both, what's the approximate portion of each? single
19. Have you EVER played multi-player, even if only once? no
20. If multi-player, do you play at a host, TCP/IP, hotseat, LAN? N/A
21. Before the Zone closed, did you play at the Zone or GS? N/A, but I'm signed up at Zone and have stopped in the H3 room several times...but was too chicken to play
22. How much time have you played H3? (your best guess)
a. <100 hours
b. 100-500
c. 500-1000
d. 1000-5000
e. 5000-10000
f. >10000
If borderline or unsure, you can give two letters, like bc.
ef, f might be slightly more likely
23. Describe the most common maps you play. This includes every aspect of maps....CD maps, player made maps, CD random, RMG randoms, open/closed maps, size, # of players, etc. Name specific maps/templates if you want.
On rare occasions CD maps and campaigns just for the heck of it. Otherwise maybe 30% player made maps (same ones everyone else named plus others). 70% Random. Have played TOH randoms a fair amount, but they get boring pretty quickly playing single player. So mostly CD randoms....most common setting are XL+U, 5-7 comp players, none or random water, normal or random monsters, 130% difficulty, pick town and hero, random bonus. I like island maps but don't play them much....different early game strategy and more difficult chaining.
24. Do you tend to play just a few types of maps, towns and heroes? Or do you prefer a larger variety? Please do NOT name the towns/heroes...there's already lots of threads for that. 90% of the time I play Rampart, Stronghold, Dungeon or Fortress. I don't worry about getting the "best" hero and there are a lot of acceptable heroes and I play them all just for variety, usually native hero. 10% of the time I play random everything.
25. If you are a single player, would you like to see templates specifically designed for single player? What type of template? (size, richness/treasures, monster strength, allies, etc.) yes, if they are good, the CD already has a lot of them. Size: XL+U. Richness/treasure: completely random if that can be done with RMGs. Allies: none most of the time, but 7 comp allies is fun sometimes. Monster strength: don't care, but weak or no zone guards---strong zone guards ruin single player random because the AI won't go through them for a LONG time. That's one reason why TOH templates get boring for SP. The other reason is they are 1v1 or 2v2.
26. Have you ever used the map editor? yes
27. Have you ever made a complete map that others have played? (your 2 best friends don't count as "others") no
28. How old are you?
a. 12 or under
b. 13-17
c. 18-24
d. 25-29
e. 30-39
f. 40-49
g. 50-59
h. I remember when dinosaurs roamed the earth
g in two months (that means I can call all you guys noobs)
29. Male/female? male
30. Do you read library threads regularly? yes
31. Do you only scan thread titles/posters looking for something that might be new or interesting? I look for poster more than titles and will always read anything from a good posters. I scan the rest and read anything of interest and maybe find new good posters.
32. If there were new quality threads, would you participate as either a reader or poster, even if the subject has been covered before? Definitely read, maybe post. To be honest, I'm getting a little burned out, especially with testing which I've done a LOT of this year (damn Xarfax making me run all those tests...just kidding, I enjoyed it!)
33. Would you be interested in a thread on running tests and map editor basics? I thought about doing a thread like this if there is interest. It would be VERY basic for the editor and give hints about potential things that make tests results invalid. I also know that my views on testing don't agree with other's views. I'm more conservative and almost paranoid about the random factor not being truly random.
34. Would you be interested in a thread just for beginners....one about things beginners could understand and actually do the recommendations? (hiring 7 heroes day 1 and taking crypts week 1 is NOT for complete beginners) Thought about doing this thread also. It's easy for veterans to forget what it's like being completely new to the game.
35. If you are fairly new to HC, are you able to easily find H3 info you want? When I first came here it was somewhat of a chore, especially with all the off-topic and spam and noob bashing. There was no index or search feature then. Eventually I learned to do a HC specific Google search which helped a lot. Bottom line, it wasn't the easiest thing, but I don't mind a little work and I found what I wanted.
36. If you're new, do you look for answers to specific questions, or do you just browse randomly looking for good hints about the game? I did then and still mostly browse for general hints. I used to sometimes look for specific things. Now I sometimes look for things I remember reading in the past.
37. If you are new, are there too many posts that are "over you head"? Do you have a hard time sorting it out when posters contradict each other? I had already played a lot when I came here, so it wasn't much problem. I had a little trouble with abbreviations and terminology. I knew enough about the game to figure out pretty fast who was who. I checked member join dates and TOH rankings early on. I admit I was fooled by the number of stars for a while though! When two veteran players contradict each other I assume it's just a matter of play style.
38. What kind of threads would you like to read/participate? Strategy? Battle tactics? Facts and details about the game? Just shooting the bull about the game? Threads specific to single player or multi-player? Anything else?
General strategy is always good.
IMO there is not much battle tactics in the Library, except against wandering creatures and special buildings. It would be nice to see more from the MP vets about when/which spells to cast, which stacks to attack, defend/attack/wait, etc....basically complete walkthroughs with realistic armies and real situations that can happen.
Facts and details: kind of burned out unless something truly new comes up.
Shooting the bull about H3: hmmm, might be a good idea to have a sticky thread for people to ask simple questions, make comments and just shoot the bull about HOMM.....a thread with no rules (except COC) and no topic except H3 (maybe H2, H1). It might even help keep spam from other threads.
I *REALLY* liked LKru's idea about situational battles.....taking the gamble with some risk, but a possible big payoff. This is the kind of thing that will "separate the men from the boys" as the saying goes. Stories about specific situations from the pros, why they did/didn't work. This seems like the type of thing to show how the mind works at the highest level of play.
Also many of the posts assume ideal situations. Having a goal is fine, but not always realistic. For example, most people know the ideal week 1 build, but what if you seriously lack gems for week 1 angels, do you go for market and trade everything for angels or go for griffins/marksmen/champs? It might be rare, but when do you take the crystal gamble and go for week 1 cyclops?...very risky, but maybe a huge advantage. There's a big difference between idealistic strategies and what really happens.
39. This should have been earlier, but I don't want to re-number. In general, what types of games do you like? Real time/turn based, RPG, Strategy, shooters, sims, etc.
Strong preference for turn based over real time. I think I enjoy RPGs more while playing, but strategy has MUCH better replay value. I play to relax, shooters and real time do the opposite. I don't know categories very well. I guess something like Caesar’s is a city building sim which I like. I like Railroad Tycoon, don't know what category that is. The game I've played most after H3 is probably Civil War Generals 2. The SSI games are similar and I like them. Also puzzle games like 11th Hour and Shivers. Betrayal at Krondor deserve mention for best RPG for it's time, good story, and good character development. Myst and Zork Nemesis for ambiance and being "eerie", and just being good games, but little replay value. Albion for pretty colors, gameplay and not being American made (German I think), some new ideas for it's time
