Megom's Chronicles - review.

	In the Internet, there is a massive amount of HOMM fanmade materials, such as campaigns or maps. Unfortunately, most of those materials are of an average or simply low quality, and it is really difficult to find something worth our attention however there are some exceptions actually. In this review, I will try to find out if Megom's Chronicles made by Michal Krajewski are worth playing.

	Megom's Chronicles is HOMM IV WoW campaign, it consists of nine maps. It's one of the longest campaigns I know. But in this particular case the quantiny of maps doesn't mean that their quality is low. The landscape presented in those maps is maybe not magnificent but good enough to let you enjoy the game. There are some locations which are unquestionably worth your attention, like - for example - the jungle from the 2nd map.

	The campaign's plot is about a golem named Megom, who/which is found by female barbarian during the festival of life. Due to some mysterious reason Megom is being pursued by some druidic organization, however he doesn't even know why. Step by step, the plot is explaining the Megom's destiny and in general the plot is attempting to answer the question - what is the life? In advance I need to mention that in order to understand the whole plot you need to read it all carefully. The golem's story may not be as entertaining as the original HOMM IV campaigns stories, but it is still worth playing. In this case, skipping the plot equals a great loss of fun, because the main protagonist's story is keeping the right mood.

	As for the matter of strategy and the solutions - in my opinion it is the best part of the campaign. Defeating enemies or completing quests is not an easy goal and it really forces the player to think. Scripts used in this campaign are original and they are showing how great potential the fourth part of HOMM saga has. Personally I was playing on the third difficulty setting and I don't recommend playing on the higher difficulty, because some of the scenarios will probably be impossible to accomplish. 

	Finally, the most important thing about this campaign - while playing it you can feel that you are affected by the 'one more turn syndrome'. It won't be easy to turn your computer off, because you constantly want to know what will happen next. So if you feel like discovering the interesting plot and play many strategic battles, Megom's Chronicles is just what you need.
