Special to this Gold edition are the 25 new maps that provide more scenarios in which to adventure. Both standard and campaign games offer a range of difficulties (easy to difficult) and map sizes (small to large). The standard game sets you up in a single scenario where you win after reaching your objective. The main difference is the latter allows a customization-type adventure where you choose the setting and factors (special aids or resources) that affect you from one stage to the next. When first starting out in Heroes of Might and Magic II Gold, you have the choice of a standard or campaign game. In this sense, Heroes of Might and Magic II Gold (which bundles Heroes of Might and Magic II, Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Price of Loyalty and 25 new maps) doesn't disappoint and will quickly familiarize new players to the HoMM scene. Rather, these editions offer latecomers some of the best there is - all at one reasonable price. In the gaming world, "Gold" editions tend to be the equivalent of "Greatest Hits" albums - not for the die-hard fans who've bought all the previously released titles.
