Might & Magic Heroes VII

Turn-based strategy with hero-driven armies battling across a hex grid. You command one of six factions in a succession crisis—the Empress is dead, claimants vie for the throne, and Duke Ivan's council tries containing the chaos. Build towns, recruit creature stacks, and level up persistent heroes with skills and spells between tactical battles. Combat plays out on separate maps where positioning and unit synergies decide outcomes. The campaign follows multiple advisors' perspectives as civil war spreads. Between story missions, you're managing resources, exploring for artifacts, and timing when to push or consolidate territory. Expect deliberate pacing—turns can stretch as you weigh economic builds against military pressure.
