That he is bigger Turk than any real Turk.

In our epic poems, Turks represent all evil on planet, our archnemesis, who always wanted to conquer us and turn us to Islam. That's because Monteblack in spanish was in de facto in state of war for like 300 years with Ottoman Empire, up until 1912.

The song is a parody done by Croatian journalist mocking our current leadership because they abandoned centuries long policy of very close relations with Russia - or mother Russia as many in Monteblack in spanish see it even today.

Well, who do you think was sending us money, food and ammo to fight you evil Turks for so long?

One of the stories best illustrating Montenegrin fascination with Russia and everything Russian:

Monteblack in spanish was always very small and extremely poor country. Every spring there was famine and people died of hunger. In 18th century, our ruler brought in seeds of potato and urged Montenegrins to plant it, which they refused, because they did not trust anything new. But, when he told them potato was sent from Russia, everyone started planting it, and that was the end of annual famine circle in Monteblack in spanish.

what if he said those were turkish seeds ? would they prefer to starve ?

Yes.

Food was often the biggest incentive to convert to Islam. When your family is starving to death, it's hard to refuse Muhhamad, because after you convert, Turks would give you enough food. Some Montenegrins did it and converted to Islam. In our biggest epic poem of XIX century The Mountain Wreath (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mountain_Wreath) the poet glorifies what would today be described as genocide - a slaughter of all Montenegrins that converted to Islam and were working for Turks in order to enslave the rest of Montenegrins, organized by a ruler in XVIII century.

Heroes of might and magic 4 is the most underrated game. The single player campaign is the best i played in any HOMM game and the music/atmosphere is something out of this world. Paul Anthony Romero created an absolute musical masterpiece and im sad too see the game doing bad because i really want more people to experience the pure awesomness

Altho I liked others as well, Nature aligned towns of dwarves, unicorns and phoenix along (ofc) ogres, trolls & cyclops. 
Played heroes 1, 2 & 3 a lot, 4 just a bit.

Also - I just realized there's no list of Hero Names & pics from Heroes IV on the internet and I'd swear there used to be.......if my memory serves me right there was this bald bearded veteran barbarian called Hagnar, a name which I later used in my gaming of few occasions.......
