One hourHommbros, we're going home
>>737940325>no priceWhy is this a thing on steam?Just show a fucking price you dumb fucks.
fuck russia
>Hyping me up for this shitKill yourself ASAP
It gonna be 50$ isnt it
>>737940325let me in fukkk
10 minutes
Music is soulless ambience trash. They had two years to fix this and didn't give a shit. Fuck them. Dead on arrival. Paul Romero should quit his job already, the passion and talent is gone.
>>737940325>EAHooded Horse Devs really wanna roll the dice with releasing in early access huhAlright so whats finished so far?>all six factions known since announcement are DONE>random map generation is in and has been working well since demo>several skirmish modes>an undetermined amount of campaign content, campaign is DEFINETLY not doneEh, not terribleAt least they're tweaking stuff graphically like the Dread Knights and Phoenixes that people complain about I guess. So they've been listening to criticism the entire time, that's niceNo complete campaign is the biggest negative for me. Skirmishes can be fun for awhile I guessNot convinced to buy. Want to see peoples first impressions before I consider giving money to slavs
>>737942613I disagree, it fits quite well and has nice melodies to hum along with.
30 bucks for this thing with the sale.
>>737940325Is this a port from Android and iOS?
SHES UP$60 australian dollarydoos with a 25% discount off the bat.not too bad
>>73794287245 isn't badgonna grab it m8s
>50 random map tempaltesare we eating good?
>>737940325>paid alphayikes!
>>737942970I'm not a fan of random HoMM maps, but i suppose variety is good
>2.2Gb total sizedamn, they are optimizing the fuck out of this, huh
remember to only pick waifus
How is the map editor?
Is HoMM 6 and 7 worth it in any way, shape or form?
>>7379436276 fuck nodidn't play 7 but I heard that after patches and with 7.5 mod it's fine
>>737940325>40€>but also 25% off to 30€Eh not too bad but still early access.
>>737940372it's $30 for a derivative early access moba looking sloppa. $15 should be max
>>737943617it works
>>737940325Sorry, I'm busy playing the vastly superior Heroes V. Enjoy your babified game tho you fucking queer
>>737943671Take "shithole secondary steam account" pill.
>>737943782Can you disable spells/heroes/artefacts for the whole map?
The pre-made map selection is very disappointing, but i assume the community will fix it in a few days time.
settings literally btfos the graphicsfags
>>737940325>olden eraWhat a faggy sub-title.How much will it veer from and retcon the M&M universe lore?
The fuck is a Schizm?
>>737940384HAHAHAHHAHAHA, people are going to slurp it up regardless. Very sad state of affairs
>>737943782Can you generate a random map based of a template, and then edit it? That would speed up things by quite a bit.
>>737943871>retcon the M&M universe lore?I think we are waaaaaay past that shit at this point.
whoa she can lay eggs
>>737943825seems like itthere are even disable magic guild or learning, exp modifiers or apply custom AI options
>>737943568>only 1 actOK I can wait then. I am mostly interested in the campaign.
>>737943795That shit should be illegal. I don't mean you switching, which is only the smart thing to do. But pricing shit differently depending on region.Glassing the third world should be a real potentiality, just to remedy this
>>737943568>non-linear campaign>non-linearwhat does that even mean in the context of homm?
>>737943782I hope you can make gigantic maps like in hota.
>>737944115something like homm 2?
I didn't know that he plural of medusa was medussy
>>737944115maybe this
dialogue options
>30 euronosabout what I expected. is it worth it over my selection? Does olden era work on the steam deck?
>ubisoft is completely removed as the publisherLol
>Start the game up>Fucking around in enus>All of a sudden CPU/GPU fans get crazy fast/loudI'm vastly over the requirements of this game so idgi.No idea what faction to try first after the tutorial.
>>737944371The what now?
>>737944527Always Necropolis
>>737944371>No option to say "moo"Into the trash it goes
>>737944527Yeah, for how the game looks, it does rape my PC too. Baffling.
>>737943928Don't see any buttons to make from template and save as a custom map. Templates don't appear in the editor too.>>737944116Max size is 256x256 in editor and max map template available is G, 240x
>2v2 (you and mate vs ai) not available straight awayi mean that's solved by making sure you dont attack each other but strange how such basic feature isnt there when a ton of other stuff is
>>737944716>Don't see any buttons to make from template and save as a custom map. Templates don't appear in the editor tooWhat does the generate map option seen here: >>737944018 do?
>>737944805Someone in the earlier thread said that was in the works but it not being implemented day 1 is kinda crazy.
>double click unit to get their info>can use mouse scroll to zoom in and rotate freely
>>737944859The only somewhat reasonable explanation would be that they haven't programmed the ai to understand teams yet. Other than that it should be trivial to implement.
>>737944949>thick thighsDog bless russians.
>>737944817Oh yeah, that's the one, nice catchgenerated in~5 seconds
>>737945052i was on the fence but i'm buying the game now
>>737944989>"Teams (2v2 etc.) will not be present on Launch day. We still have to add the systems necessary to make these work properly, which we will be adding throughout Early Access. However, you'll be able to setup custom lobbies and play vs AI with friends FFA style - just gotta make sure you maintain that non-aggression pact between one another!"From the devs themselves.
who gets the hat?
This looks like absolute shit btw. Are you guys shilling this or genuinely interested?
>>737945052>>737944716Damn, nice. love big maps.
>>737945114Me. I deserve the hat.
oh no no boycott-anon where is he? did he khs?
Soulless UI and art style shan't be buying.
>>737945114>em dashesuh-oh stinky
>>737945167What is a realistic peak and steady playercount for what is still relatively niche slavshit?
>>737945202if it reaches 100k then it's a massive success for HoMM
>>737945114it gives necro rep if you don't take the hat
>>737945202no more than 100k probably
most of the assets appear to be AI shitslop
Terrible art design, hard pass
>>737945192>>737945270Trying at least.
>>737945270keep trying lul
Lmao their windows 2000 servers couldn't handle a few people despite having online stress tests
>>737945202It has 1.5 million wishlists, making it the 8th most wishlisted game on steam. It can go quite high.
>>737945114Ehm...there are still fucking pictures in campaign? In 2026? V was animated 20 years ago.
>>737945345It's always online?Why?
>>737945380And it looked like shit
>>737940325The steam page mentions scenarios, how many are there ?I only plan on playing the single player content but idk what's in there
>>737940325i think EA is a mistake. These games don't live and die by the stupid multiplayer scene, it's all about the campaign, characters setting etc from which people can get attached to / make memes / be part of the community. These are the exact areas the game is lacking in.
>>737945396It isn't, its just the multiplayer sevrvers.
>>737945331He can say whatever he want. The art in this game was outsourced to some shitsloppers who whipped it up with generators.
>>737945416next to nothing, you'll be just randomly generating
>>737945451:(
>>737945429HoMM3 is still alive only because of multiplayer autists.
Does it already have campaing? If it does I'll buy it right now!!
>>737945543It has the first part of a campaign.
>>737940325Why is this game causes so much seething amongst threennies? It developed by fans and for fans, gameplay is great, music is great, even Paul is back.
>>737945475wait so there is no campaign? Or is the campaign just super small?
>>737940325is the actual tactical side/combat of this game good, or is it more of a strategy game than a tactics one? i never played a homm game before, tried out the demo and didn't like how there's an auto resolve option. i ended up mostly just auto resolving everything after i built up a strong army. does the game get harder later on where you will actually need to manually play the combat encounters?
>>737945367aren't wishlists notorious for having very little corellation with end sales numbers though
I feel like i'm going crazy I could have sworn this game had zones of control with attacks of opportunity in the demo, but surely they wouldn't make such a massive change, I must be misremembering
>>737945589campaign is a separate thing but dunno how many missions are there
>>737945604play on a higher difficulty
>>737945627You're probably confusing it with Songs of Conquest
>>737945534LOL wrong. Go to any homm3 group on facebook, it's all just casuals playing campaign and custom maps.The audience for 3-hour long 1-battle against a human with 90% chance of a disconnect / drop before you actually fight the other person is abysimally small.
>>737945627there's some units with that
>>737945114I said to give it to the hatless one but then when he still refused I said if might makes right that means it's mine
>>737945696you have no idea what are you talking about
>>737940325One of the most blatant nostalgia coated cashgrabs in history. If this doesn't prove Ubisheit is on last legs, I don't know what doesinb4 somebody bitches, I do love old(!) Heroes itself
>>737945680You're exactly correct, I was confusing it with songs of conquest
>>737945771hes right though
>>737945830games on hota are like 1hour max
>>737945798>inb4 somebody bitches, I do love old(!) Heroes itselfShow the date of your last heroes save
Do you transfer artifacts of a set from one mission to another in the campaign?Also...i quite liked those campaign weapons in VI that were getting stronger with exp.
>>737945771whatever dude, I bet people are just DYING to watch homm esports! 6 hours of nothing but gaming the AI to then get into one big fight that is usually decided by the first turn
Are the skirmish maps all random presets ore are there handmade asymmetric scenarios?
>>737945875i meant more about the part where there are waay more casual players playing custom singleplayer campaigns than there are multiplayer autists
any cute elf girls in this?I might consider buying
>>737945627One of the skills has a subskill that makes waiting units attack passing enemy units. Maybe you are thinking of that?
>>737945585Homm fanbase is one of the most rabid and cultic out there in general. Since most people play it since childhood, for years, any comment on the game equates to personal insult.Plus nerd who play these games are highly insecure, overreactions are to be expected.
im a new player and im considering buying this. is the single hero mode any good or is it just a dumbed down version of the original mode?
Art direction is so lame, I hate western nu-fantasy. Even though devs are Russian, they still kept it. Disappointed.
>>737946259It's literally the same but you have a single hero.
>>737946078Handmade maps exists, but the selection is very limited. The map editor seems good, so you will soon have an endless amount of community made maps to play.
>>737944115Non-linear as in there is more than one way to finish a scenario in the campaign and thus more than one way to finish the campaign itself.
25,726 In-Game not bad not bad
>>737946157Whole continent is filled with dark elves, half the faction have a dark elf units
>>737946295is having multiple heroes in the classic mode not a big part of the game? will i feel like i'll be missing out on a big chunk of the game by playing single hero mode?
>>737946259it's probably be the main played mode and much more fun than micromanaging 5+ heroes imo
>>737946157Dungeon has red skinned dark elves and Schism has pozzed tentacle elves.
>No caravan system OK thank you devs you tried at least NEXT DEVELOPER PLEASE.
>>737945380And it was shit due to being awkward and stupid with the whole in-game engine stuff.
>>737945585>>737946236>it's not that the art direction sucks ass, i-i-it's all the f-fns faultgood morning sirs
>>737946453micromanaging multiple heroes is something some people like and others dont, really immaterial to the experience as a whole which one you choose
Lol. Lmao is it LoL/WoW bootleg but with anime girls and furries? Sorry but no, people who call it "return to form" are either mentally challenged or part of marketing team.Its on 25% discount what basicly means "the game is in dogshite state and we need to sell as many copies as humanly possible and pretend it's second coming of Jesus".
>>737945696Where do you think casuals learned about the game? Which version of the game they downloaded?
>>737946623Elaborate
Well?
>>737946742Army.
>>737946659they learned about it when they got the game on a disc at 8yo in some random polish village you cretin
>>737946742week 1 behemoths dont care about your capitol
>>737946819My favorite hero.2nd being Tazar.
>>737946819I think in HOTA behemoths require cyclops now
The load button not bringing up campaign saves is a bit weird, I thought a glitch had deleted my save until I realized I needed to click the campaign menu
>>737946601it doesn't get boring only playing 1 hero during a campaign? what if i want to try out a different hero during a single hero campaign? can i change heroes mid campaign?
>>737946503cute
>>737946669Heroes rosters are on their youtube, go wank to it if you want. There is that schism character that does ahoego... or the fuck was it called, face. According to "heroes fans" this is peak homm soul.
>>737946959pretty sure taverns are disabled in single hero so you use it until you die
>>737946951I remember this shock when I played the demo but yeah it's right there.
The campaign (which I think is 6-8 scenarios long or so right now, the other 2/3rds to be added later) and the 8 scenarios it shipped with seem to be more like late Ubi-HoMM storytelling style rather than early HoMM campaign style where you're basically playing normal Heroes but in a story context. The map editor UI is extremely raw and PvP is crashing right now.I just don't understand what they're thinking releasing an unfinished game in a series where the key problem of literally every single title since 1999 is releasing in an unfinished rushed state.At least RMG is really solid and judging from the demo they focused on making core mechanics fun which is smart but like come on, surely a game should ship with some fucking content?
>>737944371How is the art so incredibly blandHow do you take gunnar's portrait and output this
>>737944016Hot.
>>737947207It is an early access game. This is not exactly an excuse for it to have little content but I don't know what people are expecting when they buy an early access game day 1.
are the M&M VIII towns and maps referenced in the campaign or is it Jadame in name only
>>737946812Then where is HoMM 5? People bought it as well, and liked it too. How come it's completely fucking dead?I can't believe how retarded and ignorant you are about this franchise. The whole community is kept alive by mp-fags only, not by your imaginary casuals from facebook groups.
Boughted've
>>737947327It's been in development for years. When they talked about EA they talked about using EA to polish the balance but apparently it was just an excuse to release an unfinished game all along.I'd pay more for more but then they'd probably take until 2030 to do it. Oh well. HotA is still free btw.
>>737947421I'm personally just gonna wait and see how it looks by the end of the year.
>>737947207How long have I been seeing shill threads for this againBecause it's been a long time already
fuck hive doesn't have any shooters?
>>737947483>Inferno gets cranked AGAINFunny.
>>737945251Neat
>>737947483I guess the idea is to SWARM the enemy with fast units + long reach.
>>737947509nevermind upgraded t6 seems to shootwtf
>>737947551Not having shooters sucks at sieges.
What did the change the Jebus Cross name to?>>737947551Which is amazing if you have tictacs.
>>737947483Hive was so op in the playtest it wasn't included in the demo, don't need no shooters
>>737946959You army, hero, technology and city building are connected. In 1 hero mode you play around the hero strengths, if you don't enjoy it, you restart.In classic, many heroes mode, you'll need to relevel new heroes, which can leave you behind in development and is a risk.So overall no, you rarely change heroes mid game. It's like pivoting your gameplay completely in any strategy game, from war to religion, barely happens.
>>737946742Rush capitol of course.
>>737947364As in a day, when people get through it.
I really don't like how this game looks for some reasonIt's just wrong
>>737947827I have over 300 confirmed hours in HommV, shit graphics don't phase me anymore
>>737940325>cant increase the UII fucking told you so you niggerass schill faggot from 2 months ago. Tech-illiterate tranny fucking kill yourself.
>>737947827That's what your mom told me about you during pillow talk
>>737947881cool. I still have standards though so this f2p lookin tripe is an easy pass. sad cause it could've been good
>>737947881Homm5 looks great though.
>>737947990lollmao
>>737947963Maybe visual novels are more of your thing
whys this shit looking mobile tierwheres the charme
I'm still angry they put vampires as t7
>>737947645so if im understanding this correctly, even in classic mode, you mostly stick with 1 "main" hero? the other heroes you use are just kind of like fodder?
>>737948101ebin cope. keep falling for lazy nostalgiabait trash that looks worse than a 30 year old title I guess
amount of visual settings is impressive
> P*lish tranny dickriding this mobile garbage
>>737943795Eggsplain plos I hate paying full priceDo I just make a steam alt account set to some 3rdie region or what
>the main menu theme is a remix of the HoMM V themeOk, so that's how it's gonna be.
>Campaign make you choose to support fanatic human or necromancer>Teaming with necromancer of all thingDid you know necromancer commit 99% world genocide?
>>737948232At first. You gather resources much more efficiently if you have several built heroes.
>can inspect enemies on the overworld to see their statsHOTA needs this feature
>>737948232Sort of. You get new ones for other things, like gathering resources, transporting army, mb defending, scouting. But it's still much better to have as strong of an army on 1 guy who does all the fighting. If the map is big with multiple fronts you can get more 'main' heroes.Switching 'main' heroes can happen early on in classic, if you find something on the map that works much better for other guy, like an artifact or resource. But heroes you hire after 1st one are random, so you can't plan on getting specific ones.You are mostly playing with an army and spells, and those can and will change dramatically over the course of the game. So it's not like you get 1 ability and then spam it for 10 hours.It's better to view Towns as what actually dictates your playstyle significantly. You can have multiple different ones, depending on the map, so mixes that up too.
>>737948910...and they'll do it again!
>>737948895I made account with the VPN and I use normal steam USD gift cards.I did not have to use VPN after the creation process. But maybe things have changed, check guides online.
>>737948895Regional pricing I'd imagine. Might find cheap keys on those grey market cd key sites.
31,577 In-Game
>>737949170That’s a lot for this kind of low budget title did all of Eastern Europe buy it?
>>737949170Also the top seller at the moment.
>>737949170>family needs my attention suddenlyfuck shit son of bithc
>>737949004so basically i won't be missing out on much by playing single hero mode, since what it seems like is that most of the fun comes from army building and spells and not the hero itself?
>>737949267It beat Invincible vs? Impressive
>>737948804poles ain't suckers and will continue playing the superior version for free instead of paying 100zł+ for an inferior nostalgiabait. you're getting mad at paid advertisers
>>737940325SoC is the better HoMM successor.
>>737949301The thing is that you want other heroes to act as scouts, as logistics in terms of transporting troops since this game has no caravans unlike H5, flag mines and other resource spots, capture empty towns etc once they level up a bit you can also use them in battles for efficiency etc.What I’m trying to say is that single hero mode is fun for what it is but you’re gonna be a bit frustrated running around with so many things to collect and flag in this game.
>>737949389polaks simply pirate both
>>737949503everyone and their grandma has homm3 complete physical or from gog
>>737949301Different game modes emphasize on different aspects of game and require adjusting your starts, but it's still same thing. Many people play with 1 guy, like it's an RPG, even if's less efficient, in all game modes.
it's just week 2 what the fuck
>>737949409race mixing was a mistakedevs are also gay faggots for nerfing and 'fixing' everything
alright
Where can I pirate this?
>>737943575They imrpoved the UI, it looks more soulful.
>>737949645Not true at all.Even if you and I have them on GOG we are the minority. I could not even use my CDs because I no longer own a CD-ROM drive.
>>737949701that's what I get for building economy
Why the fuck does this game have a RANKED mode, who is this for?Doesn't it also take like half a day to play?
>>737949409>stack limitslmfao
>game looks intresting>look at reviews>muh childhood>muh nostaliga>long ass nobody asked story>hardly anything about the GAMEPLAYTells me all I need to know
>>737949791thank you for paying to join the unpaid qa team sir
>>737949865at least he gets -morale for mixing faction units :)
>>737949872hota has ranked and hundreds of slavs play it every day
>>737949683alright ill be getting the game then, i love the whole idea about it but i hate managing multiple units
>>737949872There was this map where after a few weeks you and the enemy player’s hero get ported and fight it out and whoever wins, wins the game. Maybe those kind of quick single hero maps will be popular.
>>737940325Why does it look like a fucking mobile game...
>>737950042It's EA bro, the devs will maybe fix it in 5 years never mind that was one of the main complaints from the demo.
>>737948804>tranime has a takeawww
>>737950042you could say the same for every homm and homm-like released so far
>>737949348Not really dough.
it's over...guess I must play on normal
>early accessOh boy, cant wait to play the actual full game in 3-5 years
>>737950215The AI is pretty hard in this one compared to previous games. Not sure if it's cheating behind the scenes or not.
>>737950042What is mobile looking about it?
>>737949170all bots
>>737950042HoMM are mobile games bro, always have been
>>737950306the demo had more content than most other games do at full release, ea has even more than that. im normally not a proponent for ea games, but this game is an exception
how many "puzzle-styles challenge" are there ? are they interesting ?
>attacked the berserk casting furries with my full army
>>737950313hardest difficulty says outright it's cheatingI selected second hardest but I don't know how the fuck he got 140 T2 units, 2 vampire lords and a fucking archangel at week 2
>>737950316mobile "strategy" games look like heroes or age of empirestherefore heroes and age of empires look like mobile games >>737950384everything above 100% is cheating bro
>>737949875shit's fun. the battles are larger in scale and more aesthetic. olden era only allows for 7 units for each side which is lame
>>737949409one thing i always liked about homm was that t7 units were t7 units. they could slaughter 100s of t1-2 shitters with just a handful in your army. and you always felt a major power spike when you got them in terms of ability to creep neutrals and win fights without a single loss. so many other turn based homm-like games get this wrong. they force higher tier units to be weak af and in doing so, completely lose their soul. aoe 4 suffers from this big time. from looking at soc units, it's the same problem.
>>737950469That just looks visually cluttered to me.
>>737949865This is perfectly winnable with upgraded towers. Towers deal absurd damage this time around.
>>737950464AI doesn't have %, rest is set at 100%
>>737950469People say olden era looks bad but this shit is so ugly
>>737950524Doesn't their damage depend on how built up the city is?
>>737950469That screenshot looks horrendous.
>>737950524they don't unless I've picked shit upgrades, side towers barely tickle, main tower did some damage but only because I got it 300% more damage
What does getting a curse on my hero do?
>>737950668less morale/luck?
>>737950607>>737950563In the demo i would get defensive wins like this. i don't know if they changed it, or i'm forgetting something though.
>>737950668One curse and you're cursed.
>>737950724maybe they are bugged as their tooltip is, or just they rebalanced itside towers were doing literally 20 damage
The campaign is pretty brutal on the hardest difficulty
>>737950668they still haven't found a way to properly display it?
Tried the demo and got bored really fast. Battles get really repetitive.
Stop the count
>>737946584keep seething threennie, funny how you favgits shine only about muh art style and graphics while fellating brown mess known as homm iii
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR GAMES AT ALLLLLLLLL FUUUUUUUUUUCK
Am I retarded or I can't play a normal heroes game?I want a - a small map to 1vs1 against the AI- no restriction on the number of heroes- no custom winning condition- no custom map conditionsNow I only seem to find variations of cancer:- single hero maps- outer dwellings don't produce units- start with maxxed out hero- etc
>>737946742Early economy is better on lower difficulties maps or when oponent is have similar start but also can't rush you. In other situations you should play it like RTS is rush enemy with your army. Especially in single player on harder maps where AI have more stuff than you and will overwhelm you if you are not aggressive from start
Switch release?
>>737950965ebin spergout. I am sorry to hear that you hate that you're brown
>>737951129just generate yo shit
>>737951261What are the non gimmicky templates?
>>737950935Is his good for niche series like homm? Is this good for Ubisoft? (Enough to allow slavs keep making homm games?
>>737951316goess you need to see yourselfvictory condition classic for sure and biomes on that pictue map which suit youI'm just runing biggest shit which is spider
Are there any hommlikes where there's more of an adventure feeling to it rather than just against AI factions? There's kings bounty but that seems the only one.I don't want to rush down the AI I want to go on a comfy adventure or quest.
>>737951358It's not ubisoft any mo
>play against CPU>on the second week he just magically walks past the enemy "big camp" that defends the border and kills me with a big ass armyNICE GAME BLIZZARD, NICE GAME
>have more and more shit to manage each turn as the game progressesi dunno what im doing
I am having a blast :)
Are the tutorials good in this game? I have no idea what im doing and last played HoMM 3 like 25 years ago or something
Best faction for high IQ (top 0.1%) individuals like myself?
>>737951497Dunno about full game but in the demo the "tutorials" were poorly mislabeled challenge maps with extremely tight margins to solve them.
>>737951609Dungeon as always.
>>737951609Dungeon.
So is the game good or nah?
>>737951497lolnoThe thing about game like this is that the skill ceiling is absurdly high because it requires you to min max very hardcore and you're not going to learn that from tutorial.
>>737951426Big departure from homm-like, but now I'm replaying Thronebreaker and it's not that bad
yeah Faun archers are totally overpowered

>>737951920neutral
>>737951426Disciples Liberation>but it's shitit's shit if you expect a Disciples gameit's okay as a King's Bounty game
>>737950316The artstyle. Although it originated in WoW. A particular sort of vibrant cartooniness that reads easily on small screens and runs easily on mobile hardware. It's not bad in a technical sense but it's become overused to the point of looking generic
>>737951934noooooooohope someone mods them into grove
Is there a lizardman faction like Fortress?I need my lizard bros...
>>737951986Pray for DLC
>>737951869HoMM3 Complete remains the top dog
>>737951986>I need my lizard bros...Uh huh
>>737951869This is better, but since its day 1 of early access, content is somewhat limited.
>>737952062Them too.
>>737951457That's like the first bug people got in the demo
>>737951172possible after full release, this shit is super lightweight
>>737951609dungeon, it has 3 buttons to click and half the abilities don't cost anythingif everything else fails, you can always Dragons + Armageddon
>>737945143OP might be shilling, but the HMM fanbase is desperate for anything, and something from fanboys of 3 is enough to get them wood.. I'd keep in mind the core company is like 50 people and this project is funded by them, not ubisoft.
>>737952320Arma is pretty weak in this one, even with high spell power and at max level
>>737951807>average tik tok girl is the best they can doYawn, heroes 5-7 had better gooner baits than this
>>737952590heroes 5 succubusheroes 6 naga priestess heroes 7?
>>737951685If you're in homm then no.If you're into furries, gays, anime and low quality copypasted content from other IPs then yes.
campaign has max hero level per mission :(
>>737952781So did HoMM 3, 4 and 5
>>737952768You forgot your wojak.
>>737952702Let me check although my judgment might be fooled because I've played only with 7.5 mod so I've no clue what is vanilla (and yes this game is only playable with this mod I would not touch it otherwise)
>>737952702
she is like that night elf with glaive from warcraft 3, right?
>>737944527If you have shit like Enhanced Sync toggled on for your gpu that fucking thing unlocks your fps in menus so you can get like 3000 frames per second on the main menu and it destroys you. It happens in a lot of games for me so I just leave that stupid thing off by default now
>>737953238Why are they RED?
I need to find which template is the most calm, I hate having 6 ways enemies can enter and fuck my shit from week 2
>>737953358different universe
>>737953238No, since wc3 is dogshit she is like dark elves from MM8
>>737953358that's how dark elves do be on Enroth
>>737952949jesus spoiler this gore
I've heard 2 different battle themes so far and both are quite good, easily better than IV and V. Can't really say the same about town themes unfortunately
>>737952702Besides of medusa... light elemental, Centaur, mermaid.Overall I find even vanilla art style of homm VII (extremely bad game) better than olden era's, its minimalistic and does not look like taken directly from other IP's, in olden era I can point out the WoW set they used for their rogue type of unit in Dungeon.
>>737953238Yes its warden from warcraft 3, one of the copypasted "original" concepts they shamelessly stolen.
>>737953545>>737953624Some of those Sylvan elves also seem RED.
>>737940325homobros…NOW IS OUR TIME
>>737951792hold up, they actually gave sharpshooter to faun archers? they didn't have that in the demo.
>>737951261On what? the map where external dwellings don't contribute to town growth?
>>737953953Very nice
>>737953953is this your resident shizo? kek
>>737954012I mean they have the sharpshooter ability, ignores rage penalty.
>>737954115This is a new one. There was some russian obsessed schizo before too and of course the "game I played as kid was the best forever" schizos.
>>737954202yeah that sounds busted af. no idea why they gave them that. creeping them is also going to be a huge pita.
>>737954115yeah he likes to mention f*rries and bring up random facts about unfrozen ceo or something
>stronghold>academy>fortress (from 5, the manlet menace)What should the next faction be?
>>737944371This could be really fun if they decide to build on it.
>>737954115>>737954330Original concept for cleric was just whitemane but black but yeah lets ignore the fact that devs worked for riot and blizzard. I'm schizo because your IQ is below room temperature, typical.
>>737947286He's young in this game.
>>737944949fuck, I think I'm actually gonna buy this
>only six factionsWhy?
>>737954815Every homm game had 6 factions at the start
>>737954562My bet on something lizardmen related from Dagger Islands, when water exploration and combat will get added
Wasn't this releasing on gamepass?
>>737954852??? homm3 had 8 you fucking baboon
>>737954868Yeah shows on it for me on PC.
>>737954936You sure?
Among Us>>737954936Conflux was an expansion pack town, not base game
>>737947827Yeah, I'm kinda getting that. Feels too saturated and phone-gamey I think. Doesn't have that nice nostalgic crispness that homm3 did.
>>737954815Because it's EA?Each faction has 1/3 units on top already, because of 2 upgrade paths
Can anyone summarize what are the new factions are all about? I haven't been keeping up with the newest releases of HoMM
Bros, this is gonna sound weird but I feel like Pathfinder: WOTR ruined HOMM combat for me.. Still gonna try it however.

Gonna play this instead of this other game because it's crashing like a mad cunt.How do I play this? Can a newcomer pick up it easily? Tried to play HoMM3 ages ago but couldn't really figure out what I'm doing and I kept getting creamed early on in campaign.
>>737955202My bad, I meant the crusader minigame combat. It's basically homm but extra simplistic.
>>737940325have not tried the early access arena mode, but I had a god roll on the demo just a few days back. The legendary bow that makes it so range doesn't effect damage combined with all but 2 melee units in the roster. Fucking mean roll.

Same applies to Olden Era I think.
>>737955880
>>737956013Developers of the concept you love some much are blizzdrones, they're so much into blizzard they had to steal concepts from their former employeer.I don't give a single fuck about blizzard but stealing somebody's else art is proof of your own lack of creativity.

>>737954562>>737956069Barbarian for sure. Not only it's an iconic faction that appeared in every game of the series but also Jadame as presented in M&M8 already have trolls and ogres living on it but they're omitted from neutral units in OD. No doubt they're saved for the later added faction. Their region will that that desert on the world map between Hive and necromancersAlso I could see a faction of pirates and/or lizardmen like this anon >>737954864 said.As for academy, I don't really see a place for them to be included into the game, especial with snowy terrain already being taken by other magical castle and honestly personal I wouldn't really car if they wouldn't be included.
How the fuck are you supposed to play Schism?>just let your stacks die so you can use another unit to not attack but to resurrect 50% of that stack>also all abilities cost 3 focus chargesSeriously What the fuck?!
>>737958532nothing stops them from sharing biomesthey could make up some retarded reason like expedition from bracada or something
>>737958548Just stack the ranged niggas, buff them up and rape.

>>737958548Upgrade medusas t1 to shoot, Get Concubus lady to shoot. Arbitrators are probably the best t6 in the game. Try to fight a lot, every day and keep up your Abyssal Communion faction buff. Upgrade it too. It gives you free units every battle.Get some magic, Shadow is great overall, arcane is their main.
I know it's inappropriate but there wouldn't be a day-1 pirate would there...?
>>737955105>4th game doesn't existThe game had shitton of flaws, but it still had the best campaign in the series.
>>737953358Completely different setting. Jadame dark elves are red.
>nooooo pay attention to me, I'm posting le hecking pornohe's gonna go feral by the end of the week kek
I didn't bough ted yet because I don't think it will run on my antique toaster pc, but I spent all day yesterday watching ea footage and my main complaint is just that barbarian and wizard are missing. I get not wanting to retread old ground too much, but it just doesn't seem complete without them. I'm not sure how they will even fit in now as dlc since it seems like temple basically stole magi and titans.
what are these ugly yellow lines?
So how are the factions that weren't present in the demo? The hive and elves?
>>737959370Try the demo? Game is also like 2gb. They are aware half their audience is on intel core 2 duo still, performance is their priority.
>>737959772Hive is tough in the beginning, since little to no range, but very powerful units and their abilities. Tactics is basically mandatory skill.
>>737959772forest faction has no elves. it's got deergirls and fishgirls tho.
>>737959580The border.
>>737959580Zone edge, you can turn off in accessibility or droplet menu left top corner on map
So, is this Jadame the actual MM8 Jadame, or just Jadame in name only? I don't remember crazy sun worshipping cultists or whatever the "Castle" faction in this game is, being a thing in Jadame.
>you can skip company logos at startupHOLY SHIT
>>737959772The Grove is actually Tower+Conflux cosplaying Rampart. Heavy magic/ability focus and elemental-themed units, T1 shooters, chain lightning and firewall specialists, the works, seems very approachable but I don't know if it holds up later
>>737954562Never played MM8 so idk how does it fit into the world, but I like desert academy, so I'd like to see them. Fortress would be nice as well, but hydras are already in dungeon, so idk.
>>737956289That sounds incredibly retarded.
>>737960021thanks
>>737960106MM8 Jadame
>>737959580This is a competitive multiplayer game first and foremost. The map is separated into zones to allow for simultaneous turns as long as no players are in the same zone.

>>737945167There was a boycot?
Is it possible to make UI bigger? Mainly the in-game text.
>>737954864>2-3 lizard units>feathered serpents and lizardmen from that temple>maybe volcano-related unitwhat else could work for Dagger Wound faction?
>>737960676>The map is separated into zones to allow for simultaneous turns as long as no players are in the same zone.Huh, that sounds like a good way to handle it. If I remember correctly HoMM 3 had modded simultaneous turns (was it just in hota?), but they only worked up until the point where players met, and the game just turned normal from that point on.
>>737960693-1 from me, have to go sleep, I'm sorry bros
is this a good game if you have never played any of the earlier entries?
>>737961114It's ok
>>737961114I think it has a tutorial, so yes.
>>737961114There is a demo.It's my first hom and I literally had to uninstall it to not burn more of my time with it.
>>737961114Good, there is more mechanics to pay attention to compared to older games. Game is very customizable in difficulty and how you wanna play, so there is no need to understand everything from the get go.
>>737958532Academy's home terrain is sand
The CPU really is brutal at higher difficulties
so which template is fun?
>>737961708jebus unironically
So what do we think of Hive and Grove?

>>737960905Crab with ballistaTurtlePiratesDwarf sailorsElementalsPirate Wizard Tritons from water planeRatmen
>there will never again be something like this in a HOMM game
For those of you wondering about the competitive mp I'll save you the time, historically homm has been a 3 hour long gameplay session; 90% of your time spent against the boring braindead ai, only for the lategame to have any semblance of player interaction which the outcome, is usually decided in a few turns.Its the equivalent of farming creeps in dota 2 for 2 and a half hours, only to engage in a small teamfight for 40 seconds deciding the outcome of the match..its fucking boring.
>>737961763Hive is based chad choiceGrove is not as cringe as expected and powerful.
>>737956057How badly did the higher-ups seethe about E33?
>>737962189The best HoMM experience is in hot seat playing against equally retarded friends/family.
>>737962174For me it's Stronghold
>>737962240I wouldn't know, I'm just a grunt, not an exec.
>play first custom game on hard>losewow, ebin. honestly idk if I dig it, feels weird .Also no inferno on release just rubs me the wrong way
>>737962189That's why you play 1 hero best of 3 or 5 with times, it's the most fun and requires brain
Are the map templates random gen? Do they stick really strictly to the layout shown in the preview?
>>737962580>Also no inferno on release just rubs me the wrong wayHive is this game version of Inferno.
>>737962845it's not inferno if there's no devils and lava
so uhh how do I get all troops from dwellings in one hero?
definitely a strong opening
saw a random russian review so I translated itI didn't realize this was happening but I've seen it
>>737962691Layout is a skeleton, each region gets populated according to the rules in it.
>>737963079Agreed, I hate thinking and things being different.
>>737962691They stick to it reasonably well. After a while it's less of a random map and more of a preset map with a lot of minor changes every game.
>>737963079huh? I don't get what this about
>>737963318If an opposing unit has high initiative and waits on turn 1 it gets to move late into turn 1 and then on turn 2 it will be reshuffled to the top because priority gets flipped every turn which often results in neutrals essentially moving twice in succession. The AI is aware of situations where this can give it a positional advantage and will wait if it can reach you in two movement turns because it will give it the first strike.
>>737962908You have to priorities what to get or teleport around with neutral magic, can't get everything in 1 hero without sacrificing time. There is a special spell from Recruitment skill too.
>>737962580Inferno doesn't fit the lore at this stage of the timeline.
>>737963448wasn't like that in 3 as well?>>737963454I guess it's a must have for one hero then, shame because that one skill cucks me out of paragon
>>737963486That's what the devs say but that's not really true. They're also very laissez-faire with what counts for lore and what doesn't. After all they did extrapolate a whole damn faction out of ONE mob in M&M8.said faction is called by the studio name internally so it really feels like a pet fanfic
I've never even heard about this game before.
>>737962580I'm glad they are going for new stuff, instead of trying to please everyone with remaking all homm3 towns. My fav is Fortress and it was in only 1 game.Devs also said they are inspired and like H2 more.
>>737963534>wasn't like that in 3 as well?Yes and no. Speed priority didn't work like that and the AI was not programmed to recognize these situations, but you could take advantage of similar positions as a player. I think the first time AI was capable of recognizing the value of waiting for positioning was in HoMM7.
>>737963534AI in 3 was retarded and didn't know how to wait
>>737943782lmao what
>>737963723it does in my game but maybe hota changed it
>>737963757very warcraft 3 and king's bounty -like to have meme ambient animals

>>737952030>you call that a desktopamateur....
>>737948785I can almost see some dev being so annoyed at 'UI bad' comments that they just dumped all engine toggles into the game.They even added proper color grading presets, i've never seen that outside of photo mode or meme visuals like sepia.
>>737959786will it run on wangblows 7?>>737960134heroes 3 split heroes 2 sorceress into rampart and conflux. oe merges them back together but without the gay rainbow unicorn aesthetic (I miss it). it's funny that they brought halon back as a druid though but with hair and solmyr's chain lightning.
>>737964038>We support modding very much yes!>look inside>all variables are in slav moonrunes names
How the hell can I see which spells my hero can learn?
so does having a higher difficulty reward you more somehow or is it just straight difficulty up?
>>737964797It's part of journey! We need strong modders.
>>737964797perfectly reasonable, 90% of homm3 mods are made by slavs
>>737964927EXP gain is based on mob HP so more mobs means you level up faster, stronger AI is just how hard you want to get fucked
>>737962465Ancient Behemoths are my favorite unit in 3.Cuddliest abominations ever
Did they make the game harder? I don't remember 150% difficulty being this unfair in the demo.In just the first month the enemy hero invades my town with 70+ tier 6 units
>1v1 single hero game mode where you battle each other once a week and over time the one with more victories winsThis is kinda kino
Did they fix the blurry graphics?
