10 days till Early access.who finna buy it?
>>737292806Yes! And a copy for all of my friends :3I simply love this game, it's so well made and full of soul. Developers are just the best and clearly love M&M series! A day 1 purchase for sure.
>>737292806Why would I pay to be a tester for company?
I don't want to give money to ubisoft.
>>737292806Hello devs, I was gonna buy it but now I will pirate it. Reason?You gave special access to streamers and youtubers, and I refuse to support (You) and devs that treat the regular audience as second class citizens.
>>737292806No, heroes series is dead to me
I tried the demo and it felt like a fucking mobile phoneno thanks
>>737292806This >>737294378And I do mean that seriously, I won't be buying it for that reason alone. Actually going out of your way to give the (early access) game EVEN EARLIER to some shitty streamers. Fuck off.
>>737294589Yeah I'm not even kidding with my post, I loath that kind of shit so fucking much. Before that decision I was 100% gonna buy this game, but now I will just pirate it to spite that kind of bullshit
>>737294456You fuck your mobile phone???
>>737294702you don't?
They didn't address any of my feedback from the demo so, no, I won't do thatMight pirate it later to see if the campaign is ok
>>737292806They shouldnt have included ecelebs as heroes, fuck this shit
>>737294378You this guy?https://steamcommunity.com/app/3105440/discussions/0/809100726410181967/
>>737294378>>737294589i'm not a streamer and i got "early access" to both the playtest a year ago and the stress test going on right now. they have an nda you cant even stream the game. fucking retard
>>737294894Why are you lying? There are 8 olden era streams on twitch
>>737294952theyre streaming the demo, not the stress test. fucking retard
>>737294894It's unfair, it's unjust
>>737294894They litearlly gave early access to streamers anon, why do you think they can play the new factions?
>>737294378>>737294589Press has gotten early versions of games since the 80sWhats the difference?Streaners are just modern day advertisement for retards
>>737294894that's why Grubby has been playing Inferno- oh, I'm sorry, Hive, for days now
>>737295053Grubby mentioned
>>737294894Grubby played the 'streamer' build yesterday with extra factions. Even asked a guy in chat, if he is a content creator too, because he could get in touch with devs to get him that version. https://www.youtube.com/live/WigFks_QVQ4?si=QkyXpCTVeJoU4-qP&t=9622
>>737295002Welcome to the real world.
>>737294973Then why put early acces into the name of the stream?
I like Heroes overmap but the combat is so boring and 90% won on strategy alone, its just a waste of time
>>737295026Know your audience. When you are aware that most people that will play your games will be slavs you dont antagonize them
>>737295180>fights in a strategy game are won on strategy aloneWhat did you expect lmao
>>737295219Expected some dark souls gameplay where you roll around and hit and then roll around again
>>737295180>strategy where combat is won via strategyhow is this a bad thing
>>737295186Slavs will buy it regardless if they can and pirate if they can't, they literally don't give a single fuck about streamers, that is western chud mindrot.
>>737295280I'm pretty sure anon meant "on strategy layer" not "strategy" as a concept, i.e. you win by doomstacking rather than by commanding your army well. Which makes combat kinda pointless.
BANELINGS BANELINGS BANELINGS OOOOHHH~
>>737292806>early accesswhy can't we get complete games anymore?homm 3 took much less time to make and is probably ten times better than what ever mobile slop this is
>>737295505homm 3 is also unbalanced as fuck
>>737292806People who have played HoMM3 and HoMM5, is it good? I dont care for anyone else's opinion.
>>737295526so? it's made to be played with your friends in hot seat not by trannies in esports
>>737295582you dont even play homm you fucking retard>>737295574yes
>>737295526And yet its still best in the series, and a game that entire countries play
>>737295606I guarantee I have played it several times more than you lil zoomie
>>737295574Its bad, too many active abilities for units and additional mechanics like laws. Its completely different than either h3 or h5
>>737295574nope, it's mobile slop
>>737295606>you dont even play homm you fucking retardIts funny how easy it is to spot jebus cross trannies in the wild
Be nice if this got a console release
>>737295657post the date of the latest save you playedyoure nothing but a poser retard
>>737295082eugh that yellow fever narcissist is insufferable
>>737294841lmao wait they really did that?
>>737292806Fun fact, there is paper trail between unfrozen studios and one of previous Gazprom ologarchs. It explains why all of their games are so bad, its all money laundering scheme
Does it have a campaign? Fuck skirmishes
>>737295219 >>737295280strategy, not tactics - not the combat itself but having better army
>>737295837>all of their gamesisn't it just that one darkest dungeon bootleg and that's it? regardless, olden era does shape up to be a flop with its horrendously generic art direction which is most of the appeal
>>737295574it's okay but is burdened by so much homm3 and 5 memberberries that it begs the question on why does it even existpeople who like older games like >>737295705 will never like it on the basis of it having new things, people who will expect new things will be turned off by the endless REMEMBER THIS THING? events, sounds, tropes etc, so there's really no audience for this gameit's also being developed by people who think that everyone plays HoMM by using competitive rules and map presets like Jebus Cross>>737295808Mandalore is one of the human heroes (because he works at the publisher company)>>737295890you can pull incredible miracles with tactical play in homm, and win with an army that gets crushed 10/10 times if not played to its maximum potential, I'm not sure what you are talking abouttactics have always been a huge part of the series
>>737295808Lord Mandalore youtuber expy for Temple
>>737295856Yeah, with branching paths, characters and dialogs it seems.
>>737296060>-666 relations with hiveThats funny
>>737292806Maybe if they didn't use a mobile-ass looking art style, I could have given it a shot. Hard pass.
>>737296060They're calling it the most video game map of all time
>>737292806Have they said anything about the price?
>>737296176Its clearly based on older depictions of jadme. Out of all the stuff that would be valid complaing about having some continuity between games feels forced
>>737295918Thats true, it was just 2 games but that DD knockoff was terrible
>>737295483>are a lot like rape
>>737294021Same
>>737295606NTA, but I agree with him. It's made for hotseat play.
>>737292806I'm really looking forward to this, loved the demo, I want to play this shit now
>>737296008Should have put in Sseth insteadHe's the Might and Magic guy
>>737296523And what about hotsteat means it's fine for the game to be unbalanced as fuck? People play HOTA these days precisely because that version *is* balanced, regardless of how they play it
>>737296060are there any major references to M&M8 locations? Jadame was cool
>Might & Magic>it's actually Transheroes of shit and pissFuck off
>>737292806I'll buy it, once it's on sale GOTY edition with all DLCs etc. Never buy game on releaseLove HoMM3, but I primarily play huge G maps for months. And the problem being, that not heroes are equal in terms to late-late game. They don't scale equally. I will always pick hero with special ability, which scales wirh levelsOlden Era should have somewhat fun late game. Hero specialties mostly scale with level, upgradable spells, artifacts which can be upgraded multiple times as well. Looking forward to ridiculous and broken late game on giant maps
>>737296876Because fun things are fun and balance matters a whole hell of a lot less when it's just you and your buddies having fun instead of autistically minmaxxing zero loss fights. Do you think I cared that inferno was objectively dogshit when playing against my buddy's much, much stronger necro? No, because we were just having fun. Win or loss. Also, the selling point of HOTA is new towns, not balance. That's just incidental.
>>737296473he was a lot happier bakc then, talking about retard magnets and putting various things up the ass
>>737296842Same person, different channels.
>>737295987>>737296008>youtuber self-insertthat's so faggy
>>737297236Just because you had fun at 8 years old playing the game without understanding it doesn't mean balance is not an issue. What an absolutely bizarre cope lmao
>>737292806>finnayour ebonics repulse me away from this game.also fuck ubisoft, if it's anywhere decent (it won't) I'll just priate it
>>737297418Balancing the fun out of shit is such a bizarre zoomer take.
>>737297418>just because you had fun doesn't mean it you did. what a bizzare copenta but LOL'd at the irony of the last sentence. the point is it doesn't matter the game is e-sports ready balanced when it's ultimately not fun and looks like shit
>>737297452HOTA is more fun than 3 because it's more balanced, you can leave out the new content. This is some serious schizo cope
>>737292806>Alien tentacle race>Free units at the start of combat>Undead>Free units after combat endThis vex me.
>>737297078Don't remember devs talking about the world or map lore specifically. Only mentioning it when discussing factions and characters. The geography seems to line up and they constantly show references to M&M in blogs, so I assume they'll try to insert some.
>>737297418If balance would've been such huge issue as you make it look HoMM3 would've never gotten it's cult classic status.
>>737297908the game is fun to play, looks good and runs on anything, that's the secretbalance is irrelevant considering it became popular and beloved long before any overhaul mods
>>737297908At that time no game was balanced and no one cared because everyone was blissfully ignorant.
>what if we make King's Bounty but gay faggot nigger and we set our target audience to multiplayer/speed trannies.I'm not transitioning so no.
>>737295574Absolutely not, homm5.5 and hota do everything better, heck even unmodded versions were better, I spent 20 hours playing olden era, during that time I kept asking myself a question, why do I even bother? Older games look better and play better and are not some crazy cat lady / tranny wet dream about heroes
But why did they go for this style?
>>737299319I really don't know and it's probably my single biggest complaint.
>>737299319they're hacks
>>737295574Shaping up alright so far. It's clear that the shoes are a tad too big for them to feel. But most of the stuff shown looks earnest. I appreciate their transparency on the development and high effort updates.
>>737295180play heroes 4 not only is it a better game you have much more options. also map control matters and is something to be contested unlike 3 and 5 to some extent>>737295635the best at looking pretty maybe, the rest was surpassed
>Russian gameI will not buy ziggerslop. All fucking Ivans must fucking hang.
>>737297452having a difficult match against opponent that has equal tools is also fun but i wouldnt expect a 3 baby to understand any of that since you are only capable of playing against braindead bots.
Buy?
>>737299319Could've been worse
>>737299743Sasha, you're drunk again, go back to trench and fight for your kike president.
>>737295132>Why lie to get people to click on your stream?yeah real head scratcher there
>>737299906The irony and lack of self-awareness is astounding.
>>737299978>vodka, vodka, vodka, *gulp*, *gulp*, *gulp*.Meanwhile I can have a 19y old ukrainian tongue my anus for an hour, slaaavaa ukraaainiii, right comrade?Now get back to trench, Putler might be somewhere nearby
>>737295574It's literally HoMM5 if it was goodSuperior hexagon battle mapsSuperior HoMM1-4 style overworld instead of the linear HoMM5-7 styleArtstyle is a middle point between HoMM5 and 3Also has HoMM5 expansion's multiple unit upgrades right in the base game
>>737300275>Artstyle is a middle point between HoMM5 and 3Anon, I...
>>7373002755 is a good game.and OE copies the inferior heroes 3 movement system
>>737299743who cares if its russian, do you think every russian agrees with their government like every american agrees with their government lmao
>>737295574its basically a mix between them. i play homm since 1999 and this is the closest we got to 3 and 5 ever. not couning HotA since its a good game made be the players.
>>737300394he is right, it is
>>737300414Being a coward is worse than being aligned with your government.
>>737300473oh so they dont support the special military operation enough is now the problem? lmao
>>737300495Doing nothing to stop it, retard.
>>737300572you are a delusional faggot
>>737300451it's a middle point between homm7 and raid shadow legends if anything. to suggest it's even in the same universe aesthetically as homm3 is hilarious
>>737292806People complain about the graphics but since I never played mobile games it doesn't bother me. HoMM5 is ugly as sin anyway and that game is nearly as good as HoMM3
>>737295130Well then, I shant be playing that either
>>737299743Something something 2008 leaked cia document showing that western leadership knows russia will fight a defensive war against nato expansion in ukraine meaning the west is not defending ukraine but intentionally doing a proxy war exploiting ukraine to weaken russiaReminder that the entire world knows this shit outside of the western propaganda bubble as every country but the west in UN rejected condemning russia's "SMO"
>>737300597who gives a fuck about graphics in a strategy game? 3 looks good but plays like shit. thats whats more important
>>737300597no
>>737300783t. ranny
>>737300821you should kill yourself along with any other whiny bitch that cried about artstyle in heroes games. i remember when people saw 3 and were upset they killed art direction with it. comedy gold
>>737300783>it's between homm5 and 3>no>w-who cares anywayLOL
>>737300907>i remember when people saw 3 and were upset they killed art direction with itLOL. embarassing larp, and all to defend a low effort mobile looking sloppa. wow
>>737300783It matters, I think olden era is ok though. But it's no homm2/3, those are beautiful. I think heroes 6 has very well designed units as well, too bad it is ruined by some absolutely retarded shit like dynasty weapons.
>>737301012NTA but I know plenty of people who think 2 looks better than 3, obviously because 2 was their first instead of 3 but that's besides the point>>737301072>It mattersDoesn't matter, HoMM5 looks like shit and is still a great game
>>737301012i dont mind the arstyle. obviously it isnt amazing but serviceable. what matters is that how the game plays. and its much better than 3 in that regard. stay retarded and bad.
>>737292806I wouldn't mind indulging in a different HoMM as long as it isn't 6 or 7, and don't mind throwing a little dosh at Hooded HorseBut I'm gonna wait for reviews for the first few days. Comparing positive to negative user reviews can tell a lot, sometimes>started with 4 as a child>played 5 as a teen>playing 2 now as a manchildMy track record with HoMM is fucking weird
>>737301578>it isnt amazing but serviceablethat's the bar now? servicable? it looks like a f2p mobile sloppa>what matters is that how the game playshuge part of which is how it looks becase you'll be looking at the menus and art all the time, and they fumbled both
>>737301765It isn't that different, mostly a mix of every game from 2 to 5 with emphasis on 3 and 5. For a different take on HOMM check out songs of conquest (or don't because it sucks lol)
>>737301772in your fucking opinion. doesnt mean its right. you not liking it doesnt mean its shit. art direction isnt objective when it comes to taste. if youve said ui is shit i would agree with you 100%. otherwise fuck off and look at the post when i say that 2 fans disliked the artstyle of 3. does it mean its shit?
>>737301958Don't bother with tourists
for me it's arcane dragon magic
>>737301958does it not look like a mobile game? and I did say they fumbled the menus bud. and I did read your anecdotal example. what am I to make of it again? 2 has its charm and I understand the appeal. I would never say it's better than 3 but I get it. this is nowhere near as memorable. it's muted and generic; too safe to stand out therefore it's a cash grab sloppa that would die without parasiting off of a beloved franchise
>>737302164ebin projection
you'd think graphicfags would be the last people to appear in homm threads but after half a decade of storyfags in doom threads, its all ogre none of it makes any sense everybody's a tourist
>>737302443>graphicfagsin reality>people complaining about the lack of soul and style
>>737302550if homm3 came out today it would be soulless compared to homm2
>>737302261i dont care if you agree with me or not. its just the fact that you call the game shit simply by not liking its visuals. its not a fucking painting. the game looks like high fantasy without direction. it tries to be unoffensive but lacks any substance to me. just generic. i wouldnt call it ugly tho. also "mobile game" visuals lost its meaning long time ago since there ale plenty of games that you could play on your phone with vastly different styles.
>>737302443graphicsfags are THE heroes 3 fans tho. they only talk about how the game looks. every other title in the series is shit simply because it doesnt look like 3. i tried to discuss 4 and 5 countless times. "they are shit because they dont look like 3" are the usual responses. no mention of gameplay or strategy. lmao
>>737292806I enjoyed the demo a lot, was my first hofmam.How much will it cost?
>>737302671>if made up scenario happened>another made up scenario would occurGreat argument.People complain all the time but sometimes their observations are on point.It's simply caused by the fact that this IP changed hands too many times and there is no way to make everyone happy.Shitty graphics won't be a deal-breaker for me if the game itself will be fun.
>>737302671Anon I am considering to buy the game on release because it looks like its made by people who care but even I can say the Heroes look like TUMBLR fanfictions and the little dialogue from the campaign I saw was giving me cringe feeling. Hopefully someone will mod those ugly portraits out eventually.
>>737301958When the game uses the shameless nostalgia bait title Olden Era then people are more than justified in demanding the beautiful and timeless HoMM3 artstyle that they're actually nostalgic for instead of this dogshit mobile slop.
>>737292806I fixed her
Garbage. 3 is all you need.
but i need more
>>737302828judging from posts like these >>737303239 seems you are correct, these people have never played other games in the series besides 3. hell, it's 2 that's stated as the direct inspiration for olden era, not 3 2 looks better than 3 but don't let the tourists know that
>>737303239speak for yourself faggot. i played this series to death and couldnt care less about artstyle. what matters to me is the new story since the game takes place on enroth and continent jadame.
>>737303316if you are stunted and dont like strategy games but painting is your jam then sure
>>737292806the graphics still look like soulless korean mobile slop so no thank you
>>737301893Yeah it looks decent enough I think I could have fun with it. I'm just resisting the urge to buy and consoom immediately in case it's a buggy explosion of a release>somehow haven't even touched 3 yet>just fucking evaded 3 my entire life somehow>will probably play OE before 3 now, just cause I want to play current thing with everyone else and skirmish with a few frens>3 at the top of the backlog, just wanted to complete 2's succession wars campaigns before hitting 3Archibald was fun but Roland really does feel like a ball buster campaign
>>737303128This gives you tumblr cringe feeling? It's basic bland, but nothing crazy
>>737303354>hell, it's 2 that's stated as the direct inspiration for olden era>DIRECT inspirationand they went with the desauturated tripe? lmao. regardless, that's the first I've heard of this. let's see the quote
>>737295574It's good at the core, but kinda...to bloated?Also plays way too fast.
>>737299319>>737303637>>737303272I wish they just hired Ledroit again and reproduced his style for the game.
I got HOMM3 from GOG.Any mods decent for it for ultrawide, higher textures, etc
>>737299319>>737303272>>737303637This looks so aggresively average and boring. I don't think anyone would look at this twice if it wasn't coasting on an established franchise. Even HoMM5 was more daring
>>737304314https://sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/
>>737303957Almost no one knows how to do academic physical medium drawing or painting these days. Everything is digital. Plus classic arts aren't agile, fast or flexible enough for productions, studios rarely utilize that in production. Very rarely it gets emulated in digital on the same authenticity level, at most you get 'real' brushstrokes texture or something.Although, slavs do have relatively strong academic painting world still, could have gotten that on board.>>737304314HoMM3 HD, it's on Nexus and has a google site
>>737304383>Even HoMM5 was more daringYeah it was extreme daring for them to go with a shitty warcraft clone look
>>737297418Balance is loterally not an issue thoughbelt, ypu are just a zoomer
I am now a gamer
more dragons in game pls
>>737294378That happened with me and Menace.It was good call as its not good and I would have buyer remorse now.
>>737304597thats why 80% of all skills and spells are obsolete?
>>737292806I've got over 50 hours across the playtest and demo and only stopped so I don't burn out when the early access comes out, safe to say the russkies got themselves a customer
>>737300597homm7 is literally just homm5 with worse production valuesraid is literally every modern western rpg design ever like dragon age or bg3 just with worse visualsolden era absolutely takes visual cues from homm2/3, and also from homm5 while toning down it's warcraftyness somewhat
>>737307000>raid is literally every modern western rpg design ever like dragon age or bg3 just with worse visualsWhat did he mean by this?
>>737307074are you implying raid has some trademark artstyle and isn't just generic modern fantasy without a shred of identity or what?
>>737307272I think you're blind desu.
>>737307000>>737307074>>737307272 how does raid actually look like, i never saw any gameplay, just the ads
>>737307415High quality but generic arstation. Similar to ESO or DoS2.
>>737307415like a shittier dragon age or bg3, it's literally just the most generic fantasy shit you can imagine, and that was kind of it's marketing, that instead of looking like clash of clans and other mobile shit it's a mobile game that looks like a "normal" rpg, ofc the gameplay is still the same braindead mobileslopnow disingenous faggots use it when attacking every new game to claim how they look like "mobile games", when this shit literally means nothing anymore
>>737292806i played the demo so much that i don't care about this game anymore
>>7373074154 niggas in a row + Korean mmo character design + my first Unity game UIKind of difficult to find screenshots of the game for some reason. Managment and town screens look super cheap and bad too.
>>737292806I bought Heroes 4, any tips for playing it? I haven't touched the series but I got 3, 4 and 5 in a bundle.
>buying EANGMI
>>737307862>when this shit literally means nothing anymoreYou just defined it yourself as generic and bland though which is what that anon meant?
>>737292806Is there a way to buy this game without supporting Ubisoft whatsoever? If no then no.Also no Academy/Fortress is a deal breaker, I can accept lack of my green anti-magic niggas but no jinn blue titties is where I draw the line, it's not real Might and Magic game without iconic Might and Magic factions.
>>737307947Use 1 stacks to scout the map and claim free resources. Rogues from chaos can even steal for free if the creature that guards them is level 1. If you are afraid of you heroes dying try to level combat skill. It will make them more tanky. All schools of magic are great unlike 3. Having caster hero from your faction is never bad. Do no underestimate tactics. This skill will really boost your army. Nobility is also almost always worth it. Not only will it boost your economy. Your armies will grow larger also. Fighting is even more tactical since you cant just kill someone without taking damage in return. Using once stacks/summons or other means to take counterattacks is even more important.
>>737308258Almost every heroes game had different factions with some of the units overlaping you retard.
>>737308258No. They fucked and raped development of 6 and black hole entertainment but IP belongs to them.
>>737307947there is a good HD mod that adds proper widescreen and some hotkeys too I think, also google the mod that updates the expansion's atrocious menu and music to be like the orignal game's since those are greatthe base game's campaigns are kino with some genuinely good stories, play thoseunits can move without heroes, use single tier 1 units to grab stuff on the map, but you need heroes to capture stuff like mines. You can also have multiple heroes in the same army. Dead heroes can be revived for free if you just take their corpse to a castle. As usual, in combat use cheap 1 unit stacks to take off retaliation from enemy units before hitting them with your main stack if you can.otherwise figure the game out and have fun
>>737308646I'm not too fussed about visual enhancements, I was born playing this era of shit lol. The only mods I've installed have been a bunch of new heroes off of Nexus. Thx for the advice though, I'll look into them
>>737308258There are some titty units. I'm not sharing tho, they are my.
>>737308821eh, it's not as much about "visual enchantments" as old games often having issues on new hardwareon my rig at least the game stretches the original aspect ratio which looks like ass. The HD mod basically fixes it and adds proper widescreen support. I still keep the resolution on the origial (+widescreen) as raising it just zooms the camera out which I hate. Anyway if you need it:https://heroes3wog.net/heroes-4-hd-mod-download/also here is the menu mod to use once Winds of War music drove you insane https://www.reddit.com/r/HoMM/comments/1eiod0x/made_a_mod_that_restores_homm4s_original_title/
>>737295574It's a strictly better version of 3 when it comes to gameplay. You need to be a total retard or blinded by nostalgia to think otherwise.
>>737308447>Almost every heroes gameThat matter and some more had Academy in some form and its core roaster was thematically consistent since 3.Servants, constructs, mages, genies, big humanoid monster with many arms, Titan.
>i don't want to give money to ubisoft>it looks like phone game>iii is better
>>737295574It's a good game gameplay wise, mix of 3 and 5,though they removed caravans for some reason so now you have to run from dwelling to dwelling if you want hire units
>>737309256Wait it's by the same guy who also made wrappers for Disciples 1&2 making them eternally playable on modern windows nad resolutionsWhat a fucking chad
>why small indie studio making game from forgotten franchise didn't used unreal engine 5 with RTX and raytracing?????? Guuuuuuhhhh I can't play it graphics tooo bad!!!
>>737310917>straw-man
>>737300597>Homm 3>aesthetically pleasingImagine liking this fucking mudcore shit, homm 2 was last game which was "aesthetically pleasing"
>>737308258OE happens long ago on the timeline, so it has a substantially different roaster.For example necromancers haven't learnt to resurrect dragons yet and are actively seeking the way. Getting the grail building for Necropolis unlocks that knowledge in lore for them.All this to say, don't expect most classics come back. Mb if the game becomes successful enough they will listen to fans whining and get the reimagined fav factions in.Personally, even tho I'd be happy to see Fortress again in 3D, it's fine if it stays in 3. I'd rather see new shit.
>>737310021yeah and this one doesnt have that. i would rather hope for comeback of fortress since it was present only in 3. now that was unique castle. we had "academy" in five games.
>>737310917do you really think the argument is about the engine power and graphical fidelity?
>>737311162Fortress is going to need a new t7 unit, since hydras are now t6 dungeon units
Took a day off to play 12 hours on release. Sylvan+conflux gels very well with me. Here's hoping there laws and the heroes fit my style
>>737311795I'd argue you could turn the basilisk into a t7, or some other huge swamp boa or spitting serpent. will'owisp, lizardmens, etcetc
Unfrozen's previous game iratus lord of the dead is extremely hideous but mechanically an excellent game. Idk why visuals are so important to the transfolx, it's called a video game
>>737312289
>>737312081That would be cool, but odds are that orc barbarians and magitech wizards are getting in first. Swamp barbarians would be kino, but i'm not going to hold my breath.
>>737312658Why are you guys posting as if adding new factions is confirmed to be on the table?
>>737312081Given the devs idea of "balance" I'd expect they'd make the mighty gorgons tier 7. Just make them larger and that's about it. Same as what they did to Vampires.>>737312289Good visuals and audio is as important to a video game as gameplay. You'd need Tetris levels of revolutionary gameplay to get around crap visuals, and this game doesn't even have as good mechanics as Heroes III while looking significantly worse.That and for most people H3 is a living medieval fantasy world adventure, not a world of warcraft clone where every unit has retarded bling hanging off of them. Every Heroes that came after Heroes 3 had garbage overdesigned visuals.
>>737307000>homm7 is literally just homm5 with worse production valuescitation required
>>737312862You only need visuals and audio good enough to tell what's going on without any ambiguity. Which olden era achieves. Cry me a river movie faggot lmao
>>737294021Yeah I'm a little iffy on that too, the game looks fun but I've also been enjoying watching Ubisoft die, do I really want to contribute to them getting to limp along a while longer
>>737297858Makes sense to me
>>737308258> Is there a way to buy this game without supporting Ubisoft whatsoever? Given the publishing has gone to Hooded Horse I'm not sure whether Ubisoft is involved in any way other than IP holder https://www.unfrozen.studio/news/new-partnership-announcement-teaming-up-with-hooded-horse-/Switching a publisher 1 year before release smells like a desperation from Ubisoft side. Maybe Ubi had mass layoffs, ran out of cash or just busy with saving the company kek
>>737292806fr fr *dabs*
I only play campaigns, someone help me.
>>737312959>good enough to tell what's going on without any ambiguity.Funny because one of my issues was exactly that it's not clear what happens at some points. That's for both the retarded UI and for hero skills; skills can give so many fucking debuffs that you really have no clue whatsoever what you can even do in a fight. You go in thinking you have a tactic and then sorry, you can't use the thing you relied on because enemy hero has a certain subskill, or a certain artifact, that negates your +1 magic school or your focus charge bonus.At least heroes 3 specifically told you if you couldn't cast a spell because the enemy has some orb of bullshit equipped, or can't retreat because of the shackles of war. Actually I think it only did undescribed skill negation at one point, the orb of vulnerability allowing you to cast magic on units that were immune to them like Dragons. And maybe if you both had Tactics it cancelled out, but I'm not sure about that one.
>>737312862>H3 is a living medieval fantasy world adventureNo it's not. M&M is extremely outlandish and wacky settings, full of weird creatures and characters from the get go. Even without sci-fi elements. There is nothing medieval about both main and Heroes games. Fucking Shrek is more medieval and grounded.
>>737313513No heroes of science and fiction?
>>737292806I am. I got like 40 hours on the demo alone. It's a pretty good successor to MM3 and 5. I hope they'll add mod support though.
If vampire lords are balanced I ain't playing.
>>737313830they are balanced due to being t7
>>737313513why? you've achieved ascendance
>>737313830Imagine if undead were balanced in HoMM game, that would suck.
>>737299319What's wrong with it? Be specific.
>>737292806buy an ad
>>737313613which part of the word "fantasy" did you not understand? You pick a knight and go slay dragons and giants and living skeletons and shit.
>>737313513>disciples liberationLeave
>>737313907Necromancers have an ultimate skill, Chronomancing, which is necromancy but affects EVERY unit the hero carries, even non-dead ones.
>>737313513you are a good applethe best of us, really
>>737299743Based. The Russian problem WILL be solved in our lifetime.
>>737299110There is literally nothing wrong with cat ladies or trannies you bigot
>>737314198it's okay if you pretend it doesn't use Disciples names for random shit in its lore
>>737313634Wasn't really aware of it
>>737313957AI generated it
>>737315217this post is AI generated
>>737292806why wouldn't i just play 3 or 5?
>>737315330why did you play 5 instead of 3?
>>737312081i just want gorgons. metal bulls are cool as fuck and my favourite unit in all heroes games. V pit lords close second
>>737315330because new campaign and 5 could get stale after so many hours. i know because i have 3 and 5 fatigue from playing so much. oe will be a breath of fresh air.>>737315754because 3 is shit compared to 5
>>737315330Why are you not playing 4, the best one?
>>737292806I'm still not convinced.There is no reason to buy this thing.I'm very happy with fheroes2 and HoMM 3 HD and don't need something that looks like a mobile game.
>>737292806stop using negro babbleAnd I'll pirate it since it's clearly AI slop
>>737313251my real worry is that Ubisoft might want to "move in" if that game is bigger financial success then they expected
>>737317464the reason is its a better strategy game. kill yourself beholder
>>737313830scratches you back>regains lost unitsheh nothing personel kid
>>737318173>casts fatal decay
>>737317823I can see Ubi trying to do something with M&M franchise as a whole, depending on the interest, but not really this game. And probably through other companies too again.As you've said, they are in too much trouble rn, doubt the have authority left to hustle around other companies with impunity. Hooded Horse also so far kept their word on being developer first. Surprisingly great publisher.
>>737318574woops, meant for>>737313251
>>737318574they never stopped doing things with the M&M franchise, it's just the things they are doing are mobile games, so people tend to pretend they don't exist
>>737312289>>737317879trying way too hard to fit in, and all that over a soulless sloppa too. lmaoing at ur life tastelet
Where my dungeon sisters at?Motley is queen.
>keeps posting same ebic troll words over an over like clockwork>second thread he does thisI suspect it's the same autistic hater from demo-release threads, minus the images
and I suspect you're getting paid for your postskill yourself, this shit is doa
>>737320305I like the snake
>>737320387No way around retards Anon.
There is a network stress test on Wednesday. The demo will have multiplayer enabled for arena mode.
>>737321516Why the fuck would a stress test matter for a single player game?
>>737321596Because to spite everyone, slavs exist.
Never played the originals growing up but I enjoyed the demoAmI wrong in assuming most games are just one or two heroes fighting NPC camps for most of the time, getting maybe one or two big fights with the opponent, and someone snowballing to victory from there?
>>737320079its you who is shitting himself and losing out on a good game because it aint another heroes 3.
>>737321718yes, because playing homm 1v1 is just the tip of the iceberg>>737321832it's trying to be another homm3 and that's exactly the problem
>>737321718You are right, interactions with other players are typically limited to one or two big fights and the rest of the game is spent prepping your heroes for these final battles. It gets more complicated if you are playing a several player ffa match, as being the first to take down another player will put you ahead on resources and power of your main hero, but leave you behind on troops, which will prevent you from crushing the other players right away.
>>737322181>it's trying to be another homm3 and that's exactly the problemnow this i can agree with
>>737296008Tell me about Mandalore, why does he punch himself?
>>737324118that's how he switches between his 3 personalities
It's a shame how little attention this game is getting
>>737296842>putting a nigger jew
>>737326378it's getting the appropriate amount of attention considering it's AI art slop chink mobile game masquerading as a beloved franchise entry
>>737326378This thread is pretty popular and so was the one yesterday.They reached 1 million wishlists on steam.I feel like it's doing quite well so far.
>>737326734That's good to hear, i didn't realize it was that popular.
When are they gonna make a console release already
Playing some heroes 6, it's really quite good IMO, very underrated, it was ruined by ubisoft doing retarded shit with online stuff.
>>737327259>>737320387
she's gonna walk'ah over me
>>737327521hopefully never.
>>737328613no, she's goon WALKHA all over ME
>>737295574Yeah its good. Kinda a good mix of 3 and 5.No Caravan's is weird though since that was the best addition 4 made.
>>737328613>>737328850>search for Walkha r34>0 results???
>>737329668astroturfed
>>737329668HoMM has very little r34
>Europe goes to sleep>thread diesWhy do americans have such shit taste?
>>737332257Maybe because we're not slavniggers with a 30 year old PC that can only run homm3 and gothic 1.
>>737332257they used to make these games you knowbut now they don't
>>737292806I'll wait, it's a long game anyways
>>737330186
>>737333491titty lizards
Game devs need to stop putting fucking inertia on movement, even in turn based gamesJust like in HoMM5, it's so Not-snappy moving your units either on the overworld or in combat, it pretty much forces you tonplau on max speed if you don't want to feel like the game is lagging
