Heroes of Might & Magic IV Preview

A preview for the long-awaited Heroes of Might & Magic IV has surfaced over at Freelancer, containing some good information on what the developers have changed since HOMM3. Here’s a tate:

In the hero’s profile you can easily notice that there is a possibility to use up to 13 artifacts ny placing them in different slots. Some items can be combined into one thus getting a new item. The selection, I should say, is very large – already now there are 160 different relicts realized in the game. Moreover you can drop in to the smithy and buy there some swords, crossbows, shields and armors, which will affect positively and negatively as well. For instance, heavy platemail increases armor up to 50%, while decreasing mobility of the hero.
