>>722842875>dungeonyessssssss
>>722842724kek
>>722841814It's the Might & Magic franchise as a whole somehow, it had multiple games (mainly browser and mobile ones) developed exclusively for them.
>>722842665>HOMM memes incoming
>>722843134is this loss
>>722843117
Are we home?
Shame that Disciples is dead.

>>722841451Huh, I thought that only the multiplayer battle thingy was publicly available
>>722843408>one sprite of 100000000 skellies versus on sprite of 10000 niggersPeak video games
>>722843408They made a game for people like you, it's called Songs of Conquest and nobody plays it LOL
>>722843408>lol one sprite of 100000000 skellies versus on sprite of 10000 niggersThat's what we used to call "Sovl"

>>722841412>>722841801dont listen to any of these fags except the last one, get hota. the orignal devs dont get the money for the game anymore and you can find a standalone hota install online>inb4 uhhh but it changes too much how will he learn shut the fuck up, the things hota changes are either QoL or irrelevent to a new player. name one thing hota does that makes it a worse experience for someone who never played homm before, you can't
schism theme is pretty good
>>722843742There's multiple color profiles. Although... can't escape the modern AA blur.Music sucks so far.https://youtu.be/tNUX6Zd89C8?list=PLB0C8D8F4E658C3BC
>>722843532i have the original CDs for HOMM 1, 2 and 3 sitting on my shelf you double niggeri'm not giving time or attention to ubishit for all the tea in China
>>722841814You would be surprised how popular it is in Asia, and not just in the eastern countries
>>722844696I wish it was popular in Japan too, but nips have been console herbivores since forever and even the concept of a non-eroge PC game bewildered them.
Cool. I recently played through the Heroes chronicles. Fun campaigns, although they were too easy. Still would recommend to anyone to give it a try
Interesting how much they avoided trying to show anything from 5I saw like 2 instances of it4 got actually nothing lmao.
I'm not slav and I've never played this series, should I just start with the first game?
>>722841814Since Heroes of Might and Magic Online.
>>722845190Which is a shame. 4 for all its faults had great OST.
>>722844979japs don't even have a wikipedia entry for HoMM 3.They are literally aeons behind good games.
>>722845190Do people really hate 5 that much? I thought it was like the second most popular behind 3
>>722845223just play 3
>>722844979The younger generation is playing more PC games. I went to grad school there and several of my kouhai in their 20s played on PC. The problem is how expensive PC parts are in Japan.
>>7228453254 had some good things over 3 but got overshadowed by the overwhelmingly bad things
>>722844424>have Paul Romero>have that guy who worked on Bloodborne ost>the music on olden era is forgettable garbageLiterally how do you achieve thisAlso not a fan of all the reused (but somehow worse sounding) event jingles from 3
what is the default scenario/campaign people play on homm 3?
>>722845446What's it about 3 that every seems to love over all the rest?
>>722845607>>have that guy who worked on Bloodborne ost??
>>722845381It's my favorite, especially with 5.5 it adds a lot of qolBut it was also like my 2nd game and the first one I really dug my teeth into so I'm biased.
>Fortress>Any hero with the lizardman portrait>Mapsize XXL>Underground? You bet>Fill it up with difficult botsYep. It's gaming time.
>>722845703It's the peak of the series, improved over 2 in every way, and 2 itself was better than 1 in every, it's like Doom, there's so much fucking content both official and fan made that you can play nothing but HoMM3 for a very long time
>>722845223No need to play them chronologically. 3 is perfected formula, so I would start with that. Afterwards 2 and 1 if you want pixel art homm in more basic but still good formula. 4 dropped the ball unfortunately, stepped too far from what was established in 3, plays way too slow. 5 is 3D and is a good game, but I don't like how there are maps where you have to play EXACTLY like devs intended or you will lose. I never bothered with 6 and 7, so no info here.I would go with 3, then 1 and 2, 5. Give 4 a shot anytime you want, you will either like it or get bored to death.
>>722845662shadow of death -> restoration of erathia -> Armageddon bladesod is the last expansion but it's a prequel to the main campagin (roe) and has difficulty selection which helps a lot if you're newroe isn't too hard either, but certain missions might filter youdo not play ab first. The campaigns there are hard as balls.
>>722845821>>Fortress>>Any heroNah.
>>722845821>Put the game on max difficulty>AI finds the grail in 10 turns
>>722845325Wasn't the 4 OST the one with a bunch of free use music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO3mIaGgf9EDid Romero really need to go so hard on the fucking enemy turn theme?
>>722845768They have Cris Velasco who worked on BB among other things. Not the jappa composer>>722845703It is the last "classic" HoMM game from the original devs (before they started experimenting with 4 and had to ship an unfinished game), it is all the best things they came up with in one neat package, it has the most playable towns, gigantic catalogue of mods and maps, it's easy to get into and has enough depth if you wanna dig in, any computer can run it, any sort of gamer can enjoy it
>>722843210Can any true homm3 players say whether this abysmal set of spells is actually possible?
>>722845919>play AB as a child on highest difficulty and finish the campaign>give it a shot 20 years later>got bodied on 1 mapI was a fucking wizard back then.
>>722842502Man I wish Netflix had some hot dark-skinned mage sluts
bros I ... like it so far
>>722845807>the first one I really dug my teeth into so I'm biased.I'm in a similar position, I used to watch my father play it when I was a kid and even though -i don't really like fantasy asthetics, I always loved the ones in Heroes (specially in 5), I even had that weird card/marbles game that they made for 5 as a kid. Curretnly I want to replay it because I never beat the campiang and I saw a guy beat the "impossible" gate of the fith mission of the Haven campaing
>>722846063some of the music uses prerecorded samples of various instruments, not complete musicand they're not free
>>722846592Man, I never understood the complaint that it looked like a mobile game because I was watching it on my mobile, but looking at it properly in my PC...and that fucking UI, wtf? I can cope if the gameplay is good tho
>>722847170yeah that UI is pretty shitthough gameplay feels pretty damn good to me, like they actually knew what they were doing which can't be said about previous titles
>>722839083So fucking cringe. Ubisoft had nothing to do with the development of the only good HoMM games. All they did was kill the franchise. Now they're pretending they launched this franchise 30 years ago? What a shit company.
lmao, they are trying to get HoMM3 multiplayerfags really hard
>>722847454The game is developed by homm3 pvpfags

>>722839694Me but in family reunion
Is there some list or place where I can check fanmade content for Heroes 3? More specifically custom campaings and/or modded campaings
>>722841814Doubt i thought they were offended by skeleton
>>722841524wtf eating raw garlic
>>722848430in the case of olden era, ubisoft is only co-publishing it with the actual developers, they have no other interaction with the game outside of that
>>722848632maps4heroes
>>722848430you know there was a black knight hero in 3 right?
>>722848642He's playing against necro obviously
>>722846592I've played half an hour and that's enough to know that I'm buying this game. The UI could use some tweaks but ohterwise the gameplay is exactly what it should be. Kino is ahead.
>>722846417Isn't it mandatory for tier 1 spells to have one magic arrow?
>>722848430Literally Edric you dumb retard.
are gnolls furry? I want to put gnolls in a game I'm making but I don't want to bring the attention of weirdos
>>722849145They are technically "furry" but furries wouldn't care to fuck them so you're safe.
>>722849206>but furries wouldn't care to fuck them so you're safe.Baby...
>>722849145they're basically hyenas no?
>>722846906>samplesThat's probably what it was.
>>722844696>>722841814Please tell me the HoMM 3 chinese community is as invested in mods and custom stuff as the PvZ chinese community
>>722849145>are gnolls furry?Generally no, but furries sexualize them anyway into futa hyena anthros. Just go with gnolls and ignore what furries typically do.
>>722847454>Jebus made it inLmao, the only reason I know it exists is because some streamer I periodically check in on ends up playing on that template most of the time
>>722849319hyena-men, yeah, but I wonder if they are fuckable to furros
>>722849264he's right doe
>>722849479Gnolls are p much hyenas.
>>722849479fuck yeah, thanks anon that's just whay I wanted to seewhat about lizardmen?
>>722849472everything is, just ignore them and do what you want.
I'm 30, and I've never played them or even heard of this IP. What should I expect?
>>722849546bro yes they are all furshit, stop trying to bring furfags into this thread or they'll derail it with their shitty smut like >>722849787 did
>>722849787why would a lizard need nipplesanyway just downloaded the demo, going to give it a try while hoping for the best.
>>722849886
>>722849862The most comfy game of all time

Explain to me again why HoMM3 is to slavs what Starcraft 2 is to koreans,
Is the HD version fucked or should I just get the gog version. Haven't played in years.
>>722850807good game that runs on any slavic toaster
>>722850807Koreans don't really care about SC2.
>>722849472lol, yeah, plenty of porn the ones from wowI beat my meat to furry hyena oyakodon from time to time
>>722851018HD is fucked. Get (buy or pirate) the GOG Complete version. Install HD+ and HoTA mods.
>>722851018get the gog version
>>722839083I haven't played anything past V. Are VI or VII worth pirating?
so how is the demo?
>>722850807Easy to pirate, easy to run, fun to playSource: Oldfag russian friend when I asked him why once
>>722851324good
>>722851267don't bother with 6 and 7, they are trash, if you want a better 3D homm install the 5.5 mod for heroes 5 or wait for olden era.
>>722843489I thought it was just a watered down HoMM with more black people, does it actually doing anything different? Because if it was dumbing things down, we already had 6 and 7
>>722851412An interesting fact. In Russia, Heroes 3 was officially published and fully localized. The Russian publisher, Buka, managed to reduce the price of the game, and Heroes 3 sold well. Almost everyone in Russia who had a personal computer in the early 2000s had a licensed copy of Heroes 3.
What do Warships have anything to do with HoMM?Anyway, who should I get?
>>722852124Can't go wrong with Gunnar.
>>722851868>вoзpoждeниe эpэфииsee what I did there?
>>722852124Holy shit, they uglified Cate. She was hot in both HoMM 3 and M&M7.
>>722852124> Warships crossover with Heroes 3> No hero who specializes in ship navigation
>>722842502Everyone loves half-naked jungle bunnies though
>Ubisoft trying to celebrate HOMM when the last good HOMM game was 3any actual HOMM fan is busy playing In the Wake of Gods, HOMM2 in the HOMM3 engine, or just vanilla HOMM2 because it is SOULin b4 >no mention of HotAthat's because HotA sucks
When are the ps5 editions coming
>>722852515
>>722839083>another remake slop
>>722852124Just remember that Solmyr is the biggest newbie trap in the game.
>>722842502I fucking love brown women
>>722852669I don't think olden era is supposed to be a remake. Rather, it's a new game that takes more from 3 than what came after.
>>7228512676 is shit, heard 7 was salvaged at least a tiny bit but I didn't play it
How can a game be so bigoted in 2025?Diversity should make armies stronger.
H3 is genuinely the best game ever made
>>722839083>***heroes*** of might and magic>the hero just hides in the back watching soldiers fight
>>722853303It takes plenty from 5 as well - multiple upgrade paths for units, heroes being able to strike during battle, subskills as upgrades for your main skills, the idea of arena mode
>>722854061heroes 4 has heroes that can fight alongside other units and it was trash
>>722852469>HOMM2 in the HOMM3 engineit's shit thoI remember when that project was just supposed to be only graphics mod for h3
>>722854061They participated in battles in 4 and it was absolutely fucking broken. 1 hero could wipe off entire armies on their own.
is it just me or did they make all minotaur heroes strong as shit?
Played Olden Era demo for a little bit, and... it's okay.My concerns about visual readability were not entirely unwarranted, the highlight feature and high contrast mode help though.UI is a bit undercooked and doesn't always work how you expect it to but they could fix it.The AI seems decent so far and the game performs extremely well, you go from pressing launch on Steam to playing the map in no time at all, huge improvement compared to slow and clunky VII that took like three minutes to get ingame.The balance remains to be seen I suppose but the kingdom law system is interesting and looks potent. The maps available in the demo are only against CPU and only randomly generated which sucks a bit because it seems to generate a lot of banks and not a lot of artifacts, I'm kind of struggling. The arena mode seems interesting, it's kind of like HRTA map/mod for HoMMV, it's probably going to be fairly interesting to play against real people.Music sucks, however. It's just boring.
>>722853424don't worry there is a tech tree upgrade that neuters that debuff
>>722854158plebeian taste, homm4 is and has always been kino
>>722854259As they should be. In Might and Magic minotaurs had an instant kill skill procing every other hit.
Music sucking is Ubisoft's fault, it's the one thing they actively involved themselves into.
>>722842502She looks like fucks Castle men.
>>722854560It's still Paul Romero
Any Sci-fi elements ? Can i shoot blasters ?
>>722847849Death to the overworlders.
>>722841814How can you be a HOMMfag and not hear about chinese maps? Wayfarer, way home, xiedu, these are very popular ones.
>>722854798I don't care about the funny bald manThe music is boring
>>722854893No, h3 secondaries hate fun
>>722854893https://store.steampowered.com/app/2147380/Heroes_of_Science_and_Fiction/
>>722854303Is it developed by jewish scientists?
>>722855451it's a bonus for necromancers
>>722855260I liked the old name better. This one sounds like it's trying to hard to fit the HOMM naming scheme.
>>722855617Yeah it sucks
>>722852469>In the Wake of GodsI've never seen a game being raped more by fans than In the Wake of Gods.
>>722855260Looks too safe and boring. I want nonsensical clash and schizo kino.
>>722855650whats it like nowadayslast i played maybe a decade ago it had heroes in battlefield like homm4 and i nope'd the fuck out
>>722854893You would've been able to, but history decided a different path.
>>722851868>slavs love HOMM so much they actually paid for legitimate copiestruly impressive
how do I make my hero leave the city
>>722856012some heroes are incels and can't leave
heroes weg...
>>722855930It was really cheap. The jewel case especially. The publishers cut all costs imaginable to price match the pirate software markets and it worked to a great success.
>>722854893afaik it was a cancelled faction
>>722856062lmao
Oh shit, they copied a mechanic from HoMM4.It's nice to see that game contributing at least something.
>>722855930I bought it 3 times
>>722856797its not like that, this is more similar to the ultimate skill from 5, you have 2 paths to choose from and each require specific secondary skills
>>722841524what a beautiful way to live
you is that the continent from MM8? I spot the lizard island and merchant's guild
>removed hive because it's too op>introduce schism which is almost as opI'm guessing there's a reason the early access date was pushed to 2026 lol
>>722855043Isnt wayfarer russian?I could finish wayfarer and way home but Xiedu is another level fuck that map also fuck darkmen the hardest chinese map I think
>>722842502Colonize
>>722857375No
We rise up
>>722839694>recruiting dwarves
>>722857375The western part is roughly based on MM8 but flipped and changed in some places, the Murmurwoods are now brown, the islands are further out and Shadowspire is extended very far out.
>>722855740Absolutely the same. Now ERA2 and VCMI are the go-tos for "mod my shit up" HoMM3 experience.
For me its Naga queens
Is he in?
>>722858221No but he is
>>722858428Literally fucking who?
>>722858428Gosh darn it.Can we at least have Crag, or Tarnum?
>>722858479Oh you
>>722858479I think it's Madalore gaming, a youtube channel
>>722842270I knew a girl that played HoMM. She later joined the army and went to Westpoint.

>>722848771heh
>>722858708holy cringeis he a ubisoft shill or something
>>722858614it's a prequel taking place before homm1 i think
>>722859659He has never even done a video on a homm game as far as I know, nor ubishit in general
Do I need anything other than crossbowmen
>>722842502I'm okay with this.

>click 60 times to move in a linear path>battle on hex grid that looks like a mobile game>get 100+ units each time so strategy doesn;t matter at allPeople like this shit?
>>722860861the JRPG genre? Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy?quite literally just japanese guys that loved WIzardry and decided to make their own games, leading to the japanese gaming industry as we know it today.
>>722860975What game? Is it for android or ios or both?
Did the best skill in the entire series make it in?
>>722862052Heard someone say Eagle Eye is actually useful now.
>>722860975Konkub :D :DDD
>>722860975>konkubwho the fuck translates this?
>>722862052>>722862243eagle eye is a subskill of scouting that lets you learn every enemy spell you have the requirements to learn at the beginning of combatlearning is replaced by enlightenment from homm5 in that it can have some useful subskills
>>722848430this thread is not for your kind autismo
Yay! A legal reason for Heroes posting.
>>722862462oh wait thats scholar, which i believe is now a subskill of enlightenment
>>722862052Learning did make it in. Looks useless on its own, but it has useful sub skills. The advanced one gives +100% law points. The expert one works as scholar skill allowing to exchange magic spells.
Inferno (I'm sorry THE HIVE) units seem busted as fuck. A recompense for Inferno sucking dicks historically, perhaps.
>>722860658The world would be a better place if they'd have copied Ultima more and Wizardry less.
best dragon?
>>722864265I always liked Crystal and Fairy Dragons. Rusty too.

>>722863442it's so busted that after the playtest had been up for a while, people just autoquit if the other chose hiveits still available in the playtest and a high level hero can clear mobs using nothing but the blob summon
>>722864903nigga there are less than 3 months left in this year. How much of a fucking zoomer do you have to be for 1 year of wait being too long?
Not bad for a demo.>>722864903>>722864991That's not release date. That's EARLY ACCESS date.
>>722864903they said early 2026but yeah, for early access
Why is nobody talking about the gay neutered necromancy? You can't gain new skellies, only restore ones you lost in battle
>>722865609In the playtest you absolutely do gain new undead despite it being worded weirdly, only played demo to try out schism
>>722864903I've been waiting two and a half decades for something else that can scratch the HoMM3 itch, I can wait another year.

10 minutes in.Every animation is floaty, making me seasick a little bit.There's an upgradeable hero cap (???).The build menu us only accessible through the button, not a building, unless I'm regarded.The music is a V knock-off (double unplusgood). The SFX is a 3 knock-off (unplusgood).The quick combat resolution is the default on 100% (it's so over).
>>722866813In case people don't believe me.There's nothing wrong about the quick combat being the default for experienced players.There's everything wrong about it being the default in a new game.

>>722843561holy soul
>>722867686>>722867319>you can <...>It still means soft deprecation.If something isn't the default, it stops being a core mechanic.It's only OK in the HD Mod because we played it to death. This is a new game that we're supposed to learn. Unless it isn't, really.
Holy FUCK the readbility of the overworld is almost as bad as in Songs of Conquest.
>>722868046It isn't. It's homm 3+5 by (and probably for) people who only played jebus cross

>>722868226some anon said that high contrast helps with that
>>722868237But it has outcast mode and randomized tactical arena mode too
>>722868226just hold ALT if you're blind
>sound effects are the same as in 3 but with slightly different toneI am going insane.
T7s are way too fucking overpowered holy shit
>>722868226>>722868308Just as I suspected from the very first screenshots, cloud shadows is lipstick on a pig - but it can thankfully be turned off.
>>722868226hey at long as it's not disciples 2 tier than I'm happy
>>722843561https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5vJYWbYuwgWhy does this game cause so much autism?
>>722869176Deceptively simple on the surface, surprisingly deep underneath
>>722869176What a based channel.
what's wrong with jebus cross? what should I play instead?
>>722870924>what should I play instead?6lm10a
>>722870924There is nothing INHERENTLY wrong with jebus, it is a good map and performs its intended function well, it becomes a problem only when you design the whole game's map philosophy around being just that template.Of course, just 3 maps in this demo is a tiny sample size, we have to wait for the campaigns and other scenarios, but it does raise concern whether multiplayerfags have ruined yet another game by homogenizing all maps
I can't pass the surrender tutorial???
>>722871667There'll be custom maps and map editor. Possibly even a template editor.
>>722870924>what's wrong with jebus cross?It's fucking soulless esport garbage. It's "Fox only, Final Destination" of HoMM3. Pic related is the definition of Jebus Cross template. 4 zones connected to a center through one road. You can't be less creative than that.
>>722870924>>722872034And here's for comparison, one of the default templates included in the original game. This is how the original devs imagined the layout of maps.
>>722872034Online PVP is not the whole extent of how people play the game. The template just makes for fun, quick PVP games. There's a lot of options to explore even in HoMM3 random map generator if you personally so desire.
>>722872170>This is how the original devs imagined the layout of maps.JC is one of the default pack templates with passages between spawns removed.
>Hero capThis is my only gripe with this right now.The fuck do you mean hero cap? Being stuck with just 2 already feels suffocating.
>>722872790Isn't the default base cap 6?
>>722872931like 8 and pretty sure its only in hota when you have tournament rules on
>>722872519>JC is one of the default pack templates with passages between spawns removed.It is fucking not.You're welcome to try and find the original templatehttps://heroes.thelazy.net/index.php/Original_Template_Pack
>>722872931I started a classic scenario all defaults and the starting cap is 2Now that I grabbed a 3rd town I can get 3.In other games you can start pumping out heroes right at the start. 3 let you have 8 heroes active at the same time, but you can have more hidden in towns.
>>722873353Then I guess it's map settings dependent because on JC you get 6 at the start.>>722873328https://heroes.thelazy.net/index.php/Original_Template_Pack#/media/File:Original_21_2SM2h(2).png>b-buh it's not exactly like thisThe zoning is the same and you have complaints about the zoning specifically not their content.
>>722873606>2SM2hBro, it's a template for medium (M) maps only, it's physically impossible to fit lots of zones there. All template for small and medium maps are relatively simple.Meanwhile all tryhards play JC on XL map only. And JC was not created as a modification of 2SM2h, it just looks similar.
>>722872790I'm only playing one hero mode? Having to control 2 heroes makes the game too complicated
It feels like a mobile game, it looks like every other nu-fantasy game and ui/menus feel designed for touch screens. Why do modern video games suck at making a UI that feel diegetic.
Jesus jumping Christ.I played nonstop for five hours. I'm too old for such long sessions.
they changed the steam header
All towns' build screens can be accessed by clicking the main building except for Temple, did they forget to give them one? I can only build through the menu on the left.
I think Olden Era is good. I've played for 5 hours and so far I had a pretty good time. I laugh at people leaving negative reviews after playing for half an hour. The best one I've seen was the one complaining about the lack of clarity on the base map when you can press alt to see all the locations you can visit.
>>722861372RIP Trebor and Werdna.
It's fucking irritating you can't put archers in corner if you don't have tactics, also everysingle fucking unit is able to get to them in two turns and ai is ignoring my single stacks.NyoooooooooooooHow do you even get mass slow now?
When will Sethhhh make a video for the gaem?
>naked sexy woman>literally has WHITE in the character nameProblematic.She's actually problematic because +1 initiative per 6 levels sound OP in PVP
Just played Olden Era demo, shit has zero sovl. Looks like a fake mobile game
I hate ubisoft so goddamn much it's unreal.
>>722854893HOMMfags are the Personafags of the M&M series. They sent death threats to the developers when they tried adding a scifi faction to HOMM3 and the HOMM series strayed away from the scifi elements of the M&M franchise ever since. Olden era does acknowledge the scifi elements but they decided to just keep all of it in the game's lore to try to satisfy both sides.
>>722876646I swear some of them get to me in one turn.
>>722876646>ai is ignoring my single stacksIsn't that a positive? Do you want to exploit AI with cheap tactics like a scrub?
I keep fucking forgetting about my laws, this system needs better reminders>>722876646Neutrals actually utilizing wait command and not getting baited by one skeleton is a good thing

>>722860658I still believe how I at one point noticed there will be anime from Wizardy setting (with one of Goblin Slayer guys involved)
>>722839083Might & Magic XI when?
>>722839083I've never heard of Heroes 7.5 mod. Why didn't they mention Heroes 5.5 though? I thought it came before 7.5?
Some interactables give me a "curse", is there any way to see what it actually does?
This is off-topic, but how shit is King's Bounty II?

>>722854236That wasn't the case when I played it on multiplayer with thousands of stacked black dragon.
not gonna lie I love it. will buy it
can you make battle animations faster? it feels very slow sometimes
>>722884449I started looking for it when I saw how slow skeletons move, but I don't think there's an option to speed up the animations.
>>722884449menu
>>722884449>>722884581It's in the Additional tab when bring up the menu, separate from the Settings.
>>722884746>>722884818thanks
my only complaint so far is that the music is generic and boring
I'll give the demo a shot in a day or two.
>>722839083Is the homm3 dlc on Steam yet? Oh, it's not. Don't care then

How many hours for the demo? Can you play skirm without limit?

>>722839083I've never played HoMM before even though I live in place where 3 and 4 are cult classics. Which games of the series should I really get?
>>722887552What stat is icon of lighting bolt? Initiative?
>>722841451So far it looks like a shit, at this point its not even homm game, heroes are some wokie freaks and there is absolutely no reason to play it over H3 or H5.5I hope olden shart was a last attempt to butcher this franchise before ubisoft sells it to the highest bidder.
>>7228924063, after that if you want more 5, 2 if you like oldschool games, 4 if you want something different and weird
>>722892413yeah

Yes, it's FAR better than 4 and 5.
>>722892774Noice>>722892803Jesus Christ. Ubis hired russians shills?
>>722893221Russian gameRussian franchise
>>722892803Nothing you said is true (I played the game) and Olden Shart isn't even homm game, combat system was literally taken from King's Bounty and I don't want to play fucking King's Bounty while playing Heroes of Might and Magic, understood?No its not better than 4 and 5Even 6 & 7 with all bugs and fuckery nobody asked for felt more like HoMM games>>722893221Unfrozen is russian studio, it's very likely one of their own
>>722893526>Russian game>Russian franchiseLast time I've checked Ubisoft were French company.>>722893558>Unfrozen is russian studio, it's very likely one of their ownMakes sense. All talented russian must have left at this moment like Owlcat.
Work on your bait bober
>>722893630>Owlcat>Not RussianAnon...
>>722893723Their office resides on Cyprus.
>>722893756The same is true for Unfrozen and Mundfish. You can't do business in Russia.
Is it possible to satisfy homm oldfags at this point?I feel like regardless of what you change or not, even if it ends up perfect, everyone will still play 3 or their fav of choice, purely because it's a comfort game.Personally, while I'm not a fan of many parts of OW, I'm still happy we got another game. Hopefully it will be successful enough the series keeps going.
>>722893756Just like thousands of other Russian offices there. Owlcat literally hired ex-Ukrainians from new Russian regions.
>>722893869this thread was very positive though
>>722842502she's hot so it's ok.
>>722893949So they aren't russians, but instead gayreeks, not a big difference though
>>722893869It's doing quite well >>722865315I don't consider myself a veteran of the series but imo the game is pretty good. It won't replace 3 or 5, but it can easily stand alongside them.>Hopefully it will be successful enough the series keeps goingThis game is an anomaly. Ubisoft doesn't give a shit about it, they're only here for the free money. All responsibility and expectations lie with the developer and actual publisher who wanted to make this game. Even in case of success I highly doubt that Ubisoft will decide to do anything more than another crappy mobile game.
There should be an isometric rpg game with these graphics, it's kinda cozy.
>>722894786these graphics remind me of diablo 3kind of
>>722893869If they will be able to draw attention of homm3 streamers it'll stick for a while.
>>722842502She looks like she has constant unprotected sex with white men
>>722894818d3 was a comfy game, had way more love compared to d4. if you wanted something mechanically different or better then PoE1/2 would be your best bet.
>>722893869I'm just not interested in a game that looks like an ugly generic mobile game.
>>722892803>БAPHAУЛ AЛTAЙCКИЙ КPAЙYes
>>722895003Post one (uno, 1) mobile game that looks like this.
So play Homm3 HD and 5 before Olden Era comes out?Are Kings Bounty, Song of Conquest or other clones worth playing?
>>722895268disciples 2 is worth playing
>Get tutorials>ignore them because too much reading for my retarded brain>jump in deep and have fun and read only when i need toyeah...
>>722894818Blizzard's post-wow stylized 3D artstyle is incredibly influential. They've developed a lot of technics and good practices that are wildly used, became a norm at this point. Especially in mobile 3D, it's good fidelity for low requirements.
>>722895268KB is great fun.SoC is ok to good, too rigid. Devs don't like anything outside of their gamedesign or balance. Plus it's weirdly demanding on PC.
>>722842502Damn.
So is it worthy pirating or no? Because I'm not giving any money to ubisoft
>>722893221What would you rather trust with Heroes? Ubishit or Russians?Easily the latter, those fuckers masturbate to 3
>>722842502it's that easy, folks
>>722842502How is it netflix'd?If it were, she'd be fully covered. Instead she showin dat ass.
>>722896221it's a free demo
>>722842502Funny enough an other unit of Temple is also a woman covered in so much armor you wouldn't think it's woman. The got both end points of female armor's spectrum covered up.
>>722896221>worthy piratingDo you have limited internet data per month or something? lol
>>7228924062 is video game crack. 3 is 2 on crack. 3 is the peak of the series for a reason and a legit top 25 game of all time.5 you need to mod/fenagle to fix its biggest problem, then you got something solid. 4 is different from the rest and even more janky but oddly fun in its own way. 1 feels like a beta for 2.Avoid everything after 5. If you want something similar to HoMM, check out the King's Bounty games.
>>722886380only play 10
>>722896441All the hatred 4 got for being different is the reason for Ubisoft.Easily best music, best campaign writing.
>>722896693Isn't that the Ubisoft one?
>>722843342
>>722896792>All the hatred 4 got for being different is the reason for Ubisoft.Oh fuck off. 3DO falling apart and forcing NWC to focus on M&M themed Counter-Strike clone were the reasons for both 4 being hated and Ubisoft.
>>722896796i played it through the ubisoft launcher on release yeah
Tranny game
>>722893630retard, both Owlcat and Unfrozen are in Russia. Registering compny on Cypruss is just for offshore purposes.Similarly Saber is Russian too. Owlcat main office is in Moscow.

>>722893869I just hope that they don't keep bringing everything back to 3You saw attempts & experimentation with 4/5 and beyond. Sure some of it fell completely flat, but every Heroes game tried to have an identity.Trying to please the same old group has you make the same game all the time. Especially with diehard fans like the homm3 crowd.
>>722896792>best campaign writing.Only vanilla game. Gathering Storm and Wind of Magic were borring.
>>722845607I don't get it either. How the fuck do you regress this hard from HOMM4 and 5 and the Neverwinter Nights 2 addon theme? Is getting old worse than death for an artist? Maybe it was meddling behind the scenes and some fucking retard at Ubisoft said: "NONO PAUL, YOU GOTTA MAKE IT MORE AMBIENT, THE ZOOM ZOOM CUSTOMERS DEMAND IT!!!"
>>722897237>registered address vs actual work locationimbecile
>>722896342This doesn't look really good.

>>722896792>All the hatred 4 got for being different is the reason for Ubisoft.What? No?4 was rushed since 3DO were retards and were going out of business. Its mainly hated because its so much different from the rest of the series. Just having Heroes themselves be units splits opinions.
>>722897315>akshually they still sit in god forsaken third world police stateCome on Ivan. It's literally codemonkey kennels for stuff weren't worth money to move into normal country.
>>722897424
Only one golden saint like nigger? Very problematic.
Here are all heroes so far (minus the two faction that aren't available the demo). Who's your favorite? I hope we'll full portraits will be released. Some heroines have really nice racks that aren't quite fully visible on circular portraits.

>>722897296>some fucking retard at Ubisoft saidExactly that, Remero was hired to do a job. In the end, it's director or whoever decides what gets into final cut. For reason they never tell us, they chose most cookie-cutter, inoffensive "fantasy" sound. Romemro is clearly still talented and eccentric as ever.

Thoughts on the controversial choice of having vampires as best units instead of bone dragons?

>>722897575Attractives females? In my games???
>>722898746it's not about bone dragons (they are neutrals), it's the fact that vampires are suddenly stronger than lichesand their explanation that vamps were playable in M&M8 means that they have t7 potential means shit, so were trolls and ogres playable there
>>722898746Bone dragons always were meh, usually in every game they are filling the spot of "not very impressive final unit". It's still a weird choice to boost vampires like that. You could abuse vampires to clear the map without loses, but now because vampires are in such high grade you wouldn't be able to do it.
>>722893869Hardcore ones who only play HoMM 3 - no, neverBut others - yes, they can give it chance.
ok fine ill play it, what do I need to know before I start playing?

Is there any reason for choosing skeleton warriors over archers? I was hoping they'd be faster, but no, they have movement of 3. What a joke. A bad joke that doesn't land.

>>722900005>HoMM 3 level up system>brainPick one. Removing mass haste and mass slow practically renders non-damaging magic obsolete.It's pretty much HoMM 3 situation when you pick Knight/Barbarian/Ranger/Heretic/Warlord/Alchemist, spend 1-2 perks on magic and the rest on combat perks increasing your units attack and defense.
>>722897741Not enough niggers, this is quite problematic.
How to I get more alchemy dust? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
>>722900131AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
