King's Bounty is more of a straight RPG, there is no town building elements in KB.
EDIT: Just found this.
Oh wow.
I get it Ubi, the HD version will be looking better than the original.
But be so kind and don't treat potential customers like idiots. There's no need to downgrade the original graphics (lol, this even sounds stupid) to make that point.
Eh, and apparently it's missing the expansions too?

Oh wow I guess the reason why there's no expansions (or will ever be to this HD edition) is that Ubisoft never got the rest of the source code.

"Community team note: But why only RoE? To understand the origin of the project and its development we need to go back to 2003. At that time we asked New World Computing to retrieve their archives for all the Might & Magic titles. We found tons of documentation and data but regarding Heroes III we had nothing but the usable source code of Heroes III Restoration of Erathia."

Go for the GOG one, way more bang for your buck
I bought that not to long ago to run on my android tablet, love it.
$15 goes a long way on iOS. If the game is a crap job don't just randomly give Ubisoft or any company money just because.

Which I still think look great. Not a high resolution, but oh well.
Have anyone been brave enough to buy the iOS version from the App store today?
if anybody has that. I would like to know if you can change the speed in battles and on the world map?
because in the app store trailer they have it on the slowest speed. And i cant play the game with that speed.

After HD mod, I'm not sure if I could play on the zoomed-in map any more. I'm OK with the way the original game looks with it, actually.
Also lack of online.
Would still go for the Complete Edition though, add the HD mod and WOG and you got yourself a package.
Wondering the same thing
Some of the touch controls are really wierd and hard to use.
Melee combat in battles is a pain. And checking artifacts
