    All these improvements sound like great additions to this palm-sized franchise. However, what I (and my guess is, many other multiplayer-focused strategy gamers) would like to see in Palm Heroes/Kingdoms is asynchronous multiplayer.

    The original Heroes games were some of the most popular hotseat games back in my teens. The games were as thought MADE for async multiplayer, 20 years before the advent of this paradigm (to my mind, the greatest revolution of the smartphone gaming platforms). An online async Heroes-like for iOS might quickly turn out to be one of the more popular multiplayer products for the platform among strategy fans, and perfectly fill a niche in between the hardcore-ness of Starbase Orion and the casual relaxation of Hero Academy/Outwitters/Haunted Mansion/etc.

    1) this is the wrong thread! Royal Bounty HD has a separate thread, being another game.

    2) you're walking in the wrong direction, most likely.

    3) it stopped launching on my iphone too, even though it worked fine yesterday.

    Is there an estimated timeframe for early access advertised here? It's been several months and I'd be game but unless I'm missing something I only see a e-mail notification field for when it's eventually ready. Curiously, would that give complete access or will there ultimately be IAP map packs as in the 2nd one? Looking forward to PK3.

    Thank god Ubisoft announced Heroes of Might and Magic III HD for tablets, I have been waiting for this game since the first announcement (which was January 2013) and still no release date. Now I do not need to wait for this. Devs pretty much wasted their time. Why would I get this ripoff instead of the original?

    Why write your hatred here without even seeing the game first? You get what you want to get, no need to write this here.

    I will buy both.
    It seems both games are released out at same time.


    For anyone wanting HOMM3 Please note it wont be on IPhone buy IPad.
    Palm Kingdom will be on iPhone and iPad

    So on iPhone owner, you can only buy Palm Kingdom

    Good luck IOSoftware we support you.

    I thought this was a forum so I'm just stating a fact that you took your time and now you lost some of the fans. Don't get me wrong, I have PK1 and 2 already, and the only reason I (and some other people) played them is because I always wanted a HoMM game on iOS. Now it is actually coming, there is no reason for me to buy this. But If you were released PK3 sooner, then I'm sure it would sell much more than today.

    HoMM III will be released in 3 weeks, PK3 do not have a release date, so it's not accurate.


    Yet. We had seen many examples of iPad only games, gets a universal update later on.

    I hate early access games. So many devs do good with it but soooo many devs rip people off, kickstarter turned into a bunch of thieves. Like that guy who makes that game maker software, gave him 300 bucks and he promised me a few things and didn't come through with a single one. Lying cheating little man. Anyway,I will buy Palm kingdoms 3. Please make a random level generator so I play it more then anything else! I have HoMM3 and Palm kingdom 1 and 2. I bought royal bounty and I reget it though. Garbage that is. Don't get it! But get the PK2! And 3 looks great! I await. I hope this isn't vapour ware!

    You can now purchase Royal Bounty HD for Windows and Mac OS:
    https://www.humblebundle.com/store/royalbountyhd/Wkljsd0923jsk

    Royal Bounty HD is our new release, a middle milestone along the road to Palm Kingdoms 3. Basically, it's a one-player RPG, similar to King's Bounty. No castles, just one hero, and a real long storyline.
    New game engine, new interface, and shining new graphics.

    iOS version of Royal Bounty HD will soon follow
