Okay, here goes....
Women do not tend to play video games as much as men, that much is true. I mean take my step-sister for example, she wanted to play Heroes with me, so I told her I would teach her how to play. It was a constant headache from the beginning, she was repeatedly asking what do I do now, what is that big wood thing for, where do I go, what do I build, etc, ect....
Taking that into consideration, You guys should not judge all women on what you know from 2 or 3 girls. The girls who do play games are very good because in the end women are much more intelligent then men.
Like, when I first met my husband (grunancross) I never played video games, had no interest in them. Then he taught me to play Street Fighter, and when I did my first Instant Hell Murder and slaughtered him, I knew they for me. Now I constantly beat him at every game we play. Not to diss on his skills, he is very good, but I am just better!
So, don't judge every woman on what you know of others.

Thank you and good night

What can I say......
She is right she is faster smarter....I think that heroes is only for certin people. I think that Manda should play you guys (women weirdos) online. She is only in it for the 3week kill and she uses all the trick she tought me Tp and other skills.her best to date is. "Takeing Griffin Conservatories on day 1" ...Or "Flagin' you're lv7 on day2.
i really like the stuff she comes up with I just whis she'd slow it down a bit,I like game to last a mont at least...Tim

Hmmmm...I understood only half of that gibberish....
But, from the half I understood, it would seem my husband like to brag, perhaps too much?

Hi, Mandy.
I'm sure you're a terrific HOMM player, and you'd probably beat me any day of the week, I just wish you wouldn't shoot yourself so thoroughly in the foot.
First, you say that the few women who play HOMM are better than all men, proceeding with the example of you crushing your loving(?) husband.
Then you admonish us not to judge every woman on what we know about two or three.
Well, slap me and call me Willy, but isn't that exactly what you just did (just vice versa)?

So, Mandy becomes a champion in any game she plays? If you have AIM (my screen name is GreatWahooney), we can play QQ - there's only one person I lost against so far, and I would be delighted if someone proved it to me that I am not amongst the QQ masters.

Okay, perhaps you misunderstood me, or maybe I didn't make myself clear... I meant that few women play video games, but those who do play ( and enjoy playing) are just as good and perhaps even better then men!

I agree, grunan!
I think the Heroes games actually is one of the games women play. the reason is that women tend to like fantasy, with dragons and stuff like that, rather than games like, as an example, C&C, since you in heroes:
1.don't see the blood (even though soem chicks are bloodthirsty as few...)
2. get the RPG element into the game
3. it's a turn based game, so you can take your turn learning it.
There are of course more, but i don't bother to dive into it again...
I really think girls are as good as any boy, it's just that the role patterns of the genders tells them that computers are for boys, and games are for geeks. luckily, not all girls/women see it that way...
BTW, Heroes is the one game i've met girls (not in HC) who play. (except diablo..)

I agree women should play games...lets say..hangaroo or maybe harry potter...or bomberman(bomberwoman)...but heroes
is a men only game.you cant place a woman in front of a computer and make her beat you.she is ment to loose.
ahem..don't agree with you here:
My sister has sometimes beaten me on XL maps with Vidomina and her skellies. And she's using other strategies than me, but I think she manages Heroes pretty well.

Lol. Hot sit stuff is cool. This is a really mysoginist thread. Or the replies. So i must say something to. Most of the women dont have the brains for this game(as someone sister - above). And those of them who has it r the special ones. An inteligent women is the most exciting that there is so i guess now i understand what menaje-a-trois means for most of the guys: Big tits and a big brain makes a big... ...night.

Heroes only for men? Lol Get your [censored] over to the zone and tell the gals there they can't possibly be as good as you are. I don't think you'll have to wait for long to get response
IRL, a good friend of mine is a decent player, though she rarely plays anymore these days. My ex used to be pretty good at heroes, especially with Rampart and Fortress and was amazing in Starcraft. I hardly ever won, hahaha! (actually that's not really funny  )
O no! I'm caught posting in the tavern See what studying can do to a person... argh! I wish I could stay longer, but the universe needs me. Gotta run again
