Je a\u017e neuverite\u013en\u00e9, ke\u010f si uvedom\u00edte, ako r\u00fdchlo plynie \u010das a hry, s ktor\u00fdmi sme v detstve tr\u00e1vili obrovsk\u00e9 mno\u017estvo \u010dasu, zrazu prekra\u010duj\u00fa ve\u013ek\u00e9 m\u00ed\u013eniky. S\u00e9ria Heroes of Might & Magic ma sprev\u00e1dzala dlh\u00e9 roky. Tretia \u010das\u0165 tejto \u0165ahovej strat\u00e9gie mi absol\u00fatne u\u010darovala, s Chronicles kampa\u0148ami som tie\u017e str\u00e1vil ve\u013ek\u00fa d\u00e1vku \u010dasu a rovnako som ocenil aj pr\u00edstup Ubisoftu, ke\u010f vy\u0161lo piate a \u0161ieste pokra\u010dovanie. S\u00e9ria pre\u0161la rukami viacer\u00fdch tvorcov. Za\u010dali sme pri New World Computing a postupne sme sa dostali a\u017e k najnov\u0161iemu po\u010dinu od \u0161t\u00fadia Unfrozen. No napriek tomu, \u017ee si za 30 rokov zna\u010dka vybudovala ve\u013emi siln\u00e9 meno, jej hist\u00f3ria nebola v\u017edy pr\u00e1ve pr\u00edvetiv\u00e1. Kniha Heroes of Might and Magic: Retrospektiva k 30. v\u00fdro\u010d\u00ed ve\u013emi dobre mapuje jednotliv\u00e9 obdobia, ka\u017ed\u00e9mu pokra\u010dovaniu venuje dostatok priestoru a i\u0161lo z m\u00f4jho poh\u013eadu o ve\u013emi zauj\u00edmav\u00e9 \u010d\u00edtanie.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nechcem tu ve\u013ea prezr\u00e1dza\u0165, nako\u013eko by bolo ur\u010dite lep\u0161ie, pokia\u013e by ste si knihu pre\u010d\u00edtali sami, no je nieko\u013eko vec\u00ed, ktor\u00e9 mus\u00edm v\u00fdrazne vyzdvihn\u00fa\u0165. Okrem toho, \u017ee je nap\u00edsan\u00e1 ve\u013emi p\u00fatavo, mi v jednotliv\u00fdch kapitol\u00e1ch dala odpovede na mnoh\u00e9 ot\u00e1zky, ktor\u00e9 som si ako hr\u00e1\u010d kl\u00e1dol. Pochopil som tak udalosti, ktor\u00e9 zasiahli \u0161t\u00fadi\u00e1 3DO a New World Computing, pre\u010do bola \u0161tvrt\u00e1 epiz\u00f3da tak diametr\u00e1lne odli\u0161n\u00e1 od svojich predchodcov, ale aj \u010do st\u00e1lo za zlyhan\u00edm siedmej \u010dasti. V\u017edy je to kombin\u00e1cia viacer\u00fdch faktorov, ktor\u00e9, ke\u010f sa spoja, znamenaj\u00fa pre tvorcov ve\u013ek\u00e9 probl\u00e9my.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukazuje sa v\u0161ak ve\u013emi dobre, \u017ee aj riadenie spolo\u010dnosti a t\u00edmu je \u010dasto ve\u013emi zauj\u00edmav\u00e1 strat\u00e9gia, v ktorej jednotliv\u00e9 rozhodnutia m\u00f4\u017eu ma\u0165 nesk\u00f4r ve\u013emi siln\u00fd dopad. Najv\u00fdraznej\u0161ie som to vn\u00edmal pr\u00e1ve po\u010das obdobia New World Computing. Podarilo sa im stvori\u0165 zna\u010dku, expandova\u0165 s \u0148ou do novej s\u00e9rie, dosiahnu\u0165 svoj absol\u00fatny vrchol a n\u00e1sledne spadn\u00fa\u0165 a\u017e na \u00fapln\u00e9 dno. Ist\u00fdm sp\u00f4sobom je vidie\u0165, \u017ee najsl\u00e1vnej\u0161ia a naj\u00faspe\u0161nej\u0161ia tretia \u010das\u0165 bola nielen obrovsk\u00fdm hitom, ale z\u00e1rove\u0148 aj prekliat\u00edm. Obzvl\u00e1\u0161\u0165 v momente, ke\u010f sa mus\u00edte sna\u017ei\u0165 plni\u0165 nere\u00e1lne po\u017eiadavky zo strany 3DO. Cel\u00e9 je to vlastne len ve\u013emi smutn\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pote\u0161ilo ma aj ve\u013ek\u00e9 mno\u017estvo obr\u00e1zkov, ktor\u00e9 sa do knihy dostali. Po\u010das jednotliv\u00fdch kapitol tak pekne ilustruj\u00fa jednotliv\u00e9 hry, n\u00e1pady, ktor\u00e9 do nich boli vlo\u017een\u00e9, a dokonca sme sa do\u010dkali aj nieko\u013ek\u00fdch uk\u00e1\u017eok nevydan\u00e9ho materi\u00e1lu. Najzauj\u00edmavej\u0161\u00edm momentom bolo pre m\u0148a napr\u00edklad zistenie, \u017ee sa pl\u00e1novalo deviate mesto, ktor\u00e9 sa malo vola\u0165 The Forge (v \u010deskom preklade V\u00fdhe\u0148), kde sme mohli ma\u0165 k dispoz\u00edcii vojakov viac z oblasti science fiction. Odozva zo strany fan\u00fa\u0161ikov v\u0161ak nebola tak\u00e1, ak\u00fa si tvorcovia predstavovali, a tento n\u00e1pad, bohu\u017eia\u013e, skon\u010dil v ko\u0161i. Z knihy v\u0161ak vypl\u00fdva, \u017ee keby sa to cel\u00e9 mo\u017eno komunikovalo inak a spracovalo o nie\u010do lep\u0161ie, mohlo z toho nie\u010do by\u0165. N\u00e1pad to ur\u010dite nebol na zahodenie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kniha mi tie\u017e pomohla k tomu, aby som mal k ur\u010dit\u00fdm aspektom s\u00e9rie, ktor\u00e9 mi \u00faplne neimponovali, viac \u00facty. Dok\u00e1zal som napr\u00edklad lep\u0161ie pochopi\u0165 v\u00edziu autorov \u0161tvrtej \u010dasti a pozrie\u0165 sa na jednotliv\u00e9 n\u00e1pady trochu in\u00fdmi o\u010dami. Zna\u010dka by mala osta\u0165 dostato\u010dne zn\u00e1ma, no s\u00fa\u010dasne je potrebn\u00e9 v\u017edy prinies\u0165 nejak\u00e9 novinky, ktor\u00fdmi sa od svojich predchodcov odl\u00ed\u0161i. K\u00fdm tretia \u010das\u0165 vylep\u0161ila technick\u00e9 aspekty dvojky, no hrate\u013enos\u0165 ostala prakticky nezmenen\u00e1, \u0161tvrt\u00e1 \u010das\u0165 dala hrdinovi ove\u013ea v\u00e4\u010d\u0161iu rolu. Bolo by mo\u017eno zauj\u00edmav\u00e9 sa k hre op\u00e4tovne vr\u00e1ti\u0165 a sk\u00fasi\u0165, \u010di by som sa tentokr\u00e1t na tento koncept dok\u00e1zal lep\u0161ie naladi\u0165.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uk\u00e1zalo sa v\u0161ak aj to, \u017ee ani pod Ubisoftom nemali tvorcovia \u00faplne na ru\u017eiach ustlan\u00e9. Koniec koncov, o ka\u017ed\u00fd titul sa staral \u00faplne in\u00fd t\u00edm a smutn\u00e9 bolo aj zistenie, \u017ee \u0161iesta s\u00e9ria Heroes znamenala pre \u0161t\u00fadio Black Hole zatvorenie. Navy\u0161ovanie rozpo\u010dtu na hru a odklady urobili rozhodne svoje. No rovnako tu m\u00e1me aj situ\u00e1ciu, ke\u010f sa autori rozhodli dr\u017ea\u0165 pl\u00e1nu, vyda\u0165 hru v stanovenom \u010dase a nenavy\u0161ova\u0165 finan\u010dn\u00fd rozpo\u010det. V\u00fdsledkom bol Heroes VII, ktor\u00fd oproti svojmu predchodcovi skuto\u010dne vyzeral kvalitat\u00edvne ove\u013ea hor\u0161ie a p\u00f4sobil viac nedokon\u010dene. Cel\u00e9 je to jedna ve\u013ek\u00e1 dvojse\u010dn\u00e1 zbra\u0148.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ak by som mal knihe nie\u010do naozaj vy\u010d\u00edta\u0165, tak som s \u0148ou mal len jeden z\u00e1sadnej\u0161\u00ed probl\u00e9m. Prim\u00e1rne sa venuje hist\u00f3rii ako takej, \u010do je inak skvel\u00e9. No rovnako je v nej aj nieko\u013eko extra odbo\u010diek, ktor\u00e9 sl\u00fa\u017eia ako tak\u00e9 minikapitoly. Dozvieme sa nejak\u00e9 zauj\u00edmavosti zo \u0161t\u00fadia, pozrieme sa na extra materi\u00e1l, rozoberieme si pr\u00edchod s\u00e9rie Heroes na konzolu Game Boy a podobne. V\u0161etko je to, samozrejme, v poriadku a tieto mal\u00e9 vsuvky dobre dokres\u013euj\u00fa v\u0161etko, \u010do bolo nap\u00edsan\u00e9. \u010casto s\u00fa v\u0161ak umiestnen\u00e9 tak, \u017ee \u00fastredn\u00fd text na str\u00e1nke nem\u00e1 ani len ukon\u010den\u00fa vetu, k\u00fdm \u010fal\u0161ia je venovan\u00e1 tejto extra inform\u00e1cii. Ide\u00e1lne je preto najprv do\u010d\u00edta\u0165 hlavn\u00fd text a n\u00e1sledne sa k t\u00fdmto vsuvk\u00e1m vr\u00e1ti\u0165. Lep\u0161\u00edm rie\u0161en\u00edm by mo\u017eno bolo najprv venova\u0165 priestor samotnej hist\u00f3rii a tieto drobnosti zaradi\u0165 na z\u00e1ver, kde by sme si ich mohli pre\u010d\u00edta\u0165 samostatne a neodbieha\u0165 zbyto\u010dne od hlavn\u00e9ho textu, pr\u00edpadne ich nemusie\u0165 cielene preskakova\u0165.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
