TATW is realistic Heroes 3 ?

For some reason I had the impression I knew TATW even before I was exposed to it.

And this morning, it struck me. It's an upgraded, or a realistic version of Heroes 3.

If you think about it:
Castle is Gondor
Silvan Elves, Lothlorien and Fangorn are Rampart
High Elves have a penchant of Tower to them
Rhun is Stronghold
Harad is Fortress
Isengard is Inferno
Angmar/ Dol Guldur is Necropolis
Mordor is Dungeon

Or maybe it's the other way around. Heroes 3 is just a simplistic copycat for the Tolkien universe.

Haha, well I don't sign up for the thesis, but if there would to be a game to model on, HoMM 3 is a magnificent choice :happy:
