Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is the official prequel hailing back to the origins of the genre-defining, critically acclaimed series of turn-based strategy games. Recruit heroes, conquer fantastic lands, and overcome your foes in this single player demo.
Songs of Conquest is another one of the same genre.
Can confirm. SoC is great. For a slightly different spin (auto battler) there’s also Hero hour
We’re in a rare run of good form where there are currently multiple gear Homm2/3 clones/spiritual successors that are all great in their own way.
To top it off, og Homm3 still gets decent “updates” in the form of high quality mods that are still being worked on.
