Astral Wizard was a fansite for the Heroes of Might and Magic series that was created by the Heroes fan Astral Wizard in 1996. It was originally just a Heroes I site, but when Heroes II came out, the site was expanded. It continued to expand when Heroes III was released. Each section included reviews, strategies, tips, and user-created maps for the specific game.
When Heroes IV was announced, Astral Wizard proclaimed that "all I could think of was how many pages this would add. How much increased effort to add maps, reviews, special features to the site."[1]. As most of the contributors to the site has suffered burnout, Heroes IV was not covered to the same extent as the other games.
The site was last updated in May 2002, and went offline in 2003.
