This was the music of when I fought 10 Megadragons with a lvl 30 Barbarian warlord carrying 50 Immorality potions, hoping to get the right morale in order to drink another Immorality potion to stay alive. The good ol days
Paul Romero once said in an interview that he used a lot of presets and pre-recorded samples for this soundtrack due to time and budget constraints, so yeah.
Not sure about this part, but most of the HOMM IV music can be found on AMG Complete Celt. It's a set of old traditional celtic pieces. HOMM IV had too short deadlines and there was no time to come up with original music, so Romero used what he got and made his own arrangements of old pieces.
This plays when you have HUGE fucking armies, and you just smash your army against your opponent usually only leaving the tier 4s alive. I've had a stack of about 1000 tier 1s and 300 tier 2 and 3 get smashed.
Dunno why, but the string part at 1:51 onward sounded really similar to MM8's Garrote Gorge to a tone-deaf dumbass 10 year old me back in the day. Probably because I've played MM8 way more than any person reasonably should've, and could probably hum the music in my sleep.
The music in HOMM4 remains something of a mixed bag. In my opinion, the exploration pieces relied too much on Celtric tropes, and many of the Town themes (with their way too overzealous operatic wailing) were borderline irritating. However, Romero's battle themes remain epic as ever.

My dearest HoMM4, you may not be perfect, but we love you for who you are, forever and ever.
Every 2/3 years I play this game again only to listen these beautiful soundtracks, they are truly unbelievable
2:53 - 3:34 the most beautiful music in Heroes series
The first time I heard this music, I wanted to fight every battle on HoMM 4 to it!
Epic, astonishing, doom like, powerful and so on.... the best battle theme ever !!!
I used to just sit and listen to this music playing during the battle, without moving or doing anything
Same
Funny enough, I returned to play this game again few days ago, what a great game
My favorite Battle song from this game, by far!
The moment you open the spell book of your Lord and realize he's useless in fights.
🤣🤣

Lol relatable xD
*Just learned Order Magic and Combat Skill* Social distance, please. Wash your feet with ice-cold spell and stay away from me.
OMG the nostalgia kicked in hard =(
2:53
Yes, you can imagine epic slo-mo cinematic battle scene during that part.
I heard that part in many TV series and other games.
I find Heroes III to be the best in mechanics and such (I didn't like the removal of some of the creatures in IV), but IV has the best music by far
It's actually true!
the best battle theme sooo far, fcking masterpiece
1:50 its just gg wp
press 5
perfect! HOMM IV had the most captivating music.
My favourite one...
@TabalugaDragon words alone cannot describe the feeling you get from that part, its not only music enjoyment, its a whole emotion by itself.
_fourth blessing: haste.. slayers have more focus and quickly reach the next duel, to advance the front line further and faster than before.._
Beautiful, my 2nd favourite, after Battle III.
Do you realise it's been 15 years already ?!?!!
IKR!!
18 :-(
Holy fuck I am so old..
HoMM IV
19 years. I remember the day it came out, like yesterday. The game didn't really dissapoint, but the music was fucking godly!
no :)
Nice stuff.
1:52
Hell yeah, when I hear this track, I imagine a warrior-adventurer with his blade ready facing a couple of bloodthirsty desert barbarians.
It's used for regular ecounters, but it sounds like fighting a boss
Espectacular! Espero hagan una remake del Heroes of the might and magic IV así como lo hicieron del III.
2:57 that part, I always wondered where to get that melody. It's like a stock melody, I heard it in many places, tv series, other games...

best battle track in the game for me

It's a simply 4/4 on eachother but works! Really works!
I love this schematic ;)
epic music
My 3rd favourite one after battle 1 and 3
Liches were one of many reasons I picked Necropolis a lot. I missed them in HOMM4...
The Cloak of the Undead King
Definitely the best HOMM4 music
Btw sounds like Seroius Sam xD
Sounds somehow similar to Palenque theme in Second Encounter
good, very good song.
I prefer the "Hope" theme, of heroes IV aswell. Just perfect
pain & valor of battle..
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWYEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHH
2020?
2021.
2022 :D
@@Sabrloom 2023
battle with castle
This song reminds me of Serious sam... (the 1. one, and second encounter - not Serious Sam 2)
I think it could be a great runway music as well :) Many battle themes from HoMM4 can be...
It's music of Chaos
Compared to 3, I think 4's music, battles, maps and inclusion of heroes in battle made it superior
one hero with max melee and max endurance likes it
My favorite music theme in Heroes 4. In Heroes 3 I prefer Stronghold theme.
Dunno why, but the string part at 1:51 onward sounded really similar to MM8's Garrote Gorge to a tone-deaf dumbass 10 year old me back in the day.
Probably because I've played MM8 way more than any person reasonably should've, and could probably hum the music in my sleep.
beginning sounds like Combat 3 from HOMM2
Naruto battle song)
Yep, man!
Naruto ost: Hidden will to fight!!!
