A tactical, turn-based PC game like this really interests me. The problem I have is that my internet connection is very unstable so the Ubisoft DRM is scaring me away. I'm also reading that there's a lot of bugs currently in the game.

Is there a similar game like this in development? I know there's a large back catalog of games like this on the PC, but I was hoping for something new.

Disciples 3 is the shiznits. It's new enough and is graphically superior even to HoMM6. It's an Akella (russian) game however so it can be a bit buggy at times.

Games of this genre are all pretty much identical anyway so holding out for something new is kinda worthless. Heroes of Might and Magic, Disciples 3, Kings Bounty. All pretty much identical other than art direction and some fine details, and wether the grid is square or hex based.

@Tennmuerti: never tried 2, thanks for the reccomendation. I'll see if i can find it!

You should look into the DRM in MMH6, I've read somewhere that it just locks you out of some optional items and achievements if you're not online. Not sure how accurate that is.

Thanks, guys. I'll take another look at Disciples II and HoMM V.
