Hi everyone, I'm on a powerbook so was wondering if you guys knew where I could get a nocd for Heroes IV?

Also the website for 3DO seems to have been closed down...heard it's been annexed by another company. Where can I get the AI patch or the latest patches? Thanks for the help!

The latest patch for Heroes 4 (v2.3) is available on the AusMac archive.

AusMac.net via HTTP
AusMac.net via FTP

The 3DO FTP server it was originally retrieved from appears to be dead now.
The URL was: ftp://ftp3.3do.com/pub/support/patch...s4_mac_v23.sit

If you click on the 'AusMac.net via HTTP' link, it's a direct link to the file and will start downloading it. It just worked for me...

You may have got one of the servers that hadn't synchronised the file yet. If you try again now it should be OK.

Why the heck did 3DO go under? Who bought them?
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

Apparently they hadn't been doing well for awhile: CNET article.

And from this article:
The big loser last year was the legendary publisher 3DO. After several years of struggle and lackluster sales, the company announced bankruptcy in May of 2003 and went into liquidation. In August, its assets were sold at an auction. UBI Soft acquired the Might and Magic franchise, Microsoft bought one of its competitors, High Heat Baseball, and Trip Hawkins, the company's CEO acquired 3DO's back catalog. Too bad that the high profile project, Four Horsemen of Apocalypse, found no buyer and disappeared.
