The hero can travel through Nar-Heresh and Falcon's Reach. Graphics-wise, the layout of the overworld is much more realistic, meaning cities are actually the size of a city, not of a tiny building. Battles include flanking and backstabbing based on the angle creatures are attacked from. Also, a new feature allows cooperative battles with other people. The game's battles use hexagons (like Heroes III). There are currently only two playable factions: Haven and Necropolis. Small non-guarded stashes frequently respawn, but guarded stashes are much larger. The game uses the four resources from Might & Magic: Heroes VI: gold, wood, metal, and crystal. Also, enemies guarding stashes of resources respawn after lengths of time so that the resources can be regathered. First, instead of being turn based, the overworld is in real time (battles are still turn based). Might and Magic Heroes Online is different from the core heroes games in several ways. The game launched on 24 September 2014 and was shut down on 30 December 2020. Heroes of Might and Magic V Might & Magic: Heroes Online is a massively-multiplayer online browser game, produced by Ubisoft.
