Good first impressions on the new factions so far but need to do some MP to get a feel for them. Already liking it more than the demo so I think this might be solid.

That is the most disappointing thing for me as well. At least it has a good map editor, so soon there will be an endless selection of community created maps to choose from.

was going to buy and convince someone else to buy but there's no teams. weird ass decision to leave out something so fundamental. based on interview they did on stream, they're gonna be in early access for over a year and it doesn't seem like they're prioritizing putting it in either. oh well.
>>
>>737972880
No disagreement there, the music is somewhere between generic and non-existent, but everything else seems to be solid to great.
I'm hoping they'll fix the music before the full release, espcially since they got Romero on board.

if it's 4 ffa with 2 ai and you teaming in the background with someone else, there's a chance the ai kills each other. it's gonna be "unfair" in general since the ai isn't getting an ally. no sharing resources either. you also can't set up something like a 2vs3/4/5/6 since the bots are definitely gonna fight amongst themselves. the devs need to stop fucking around and get on it.
>>
>>737973591
You're right, though at least for me 80% of the heroes experience was PvE, and clering the map along the way.

It's my own personal peeve but music is very important for me in games, the fact that this game is from a franchise with such musical legacy it's just unacceptable to have something generic like this

>>737973964
ai is actually competent. It goes for your beefy units, instead of in range cannon fodder. It also doesn't cheat (much) in campaign mode, it's very smart regarding battles it takes.
>>
>>737973964
Yeah, the AI can rape you now. The difficulty settings here are nowhere even remotely analogus to H3.
>>737973850
It's more than fair, it contributes a lot to the atmosphere and the feeling of the game, especially each faction.
Just like they improved the ui and look of the game, I'm hopeful the music will get the same treatment.
>>

The battle music is very good, it's only second to 3 (played every entry except 1 and 2)

If I did I would've mentioned it
Schism is the only town with a half-decent theme
>>
>>737974267
Yes. The haste is great for hive and she also starts with daylight magic, which can get a subskill that provides one focus charge at the start of battle. That focus charge will let you lay eggs round one, which can be very impactful.
>>
>>737974710

It's definitely one of those game where you should start at easy as a beginner, CPU ain't fucking around. They'll tune it down for the campaign probably, you need to be very on point and honestly know the map in advance to have a chance.

They really need to make it so you can reliably get the subclasses and not rely on RNG. You NEED the subclass to work on heroes like the ones that focus on heroic strike

I don't understand how they keep doing it.
The biggest problem with this series is that they kept releasing unfinished, badly conceived games that maybe did a thing or two better than 3 but then did everything else worse, systemically. It happened for reasons beyond the developer's control with 4 and then kept happening for no reason with 5, 6, 7 and now 8.
"Oh it's early access we'll fix it in updates" shut the fuck up, your multiplayer doesn't work, your map editor is dogshit, no, putting a disclaimer doesn't help, you are selling a fucking product, your UI is dogshit, the music is dog farts, the visual is so bad you need five different settings just to make things highlight themselves, there's very little single player content and what is there is actually just as shit as campaigns in Heroes 7, it's incredible that after all these years and HotA devs showing how it's to be done FOR FREE you're still coming out with the same Ubislop garbage despite not being seemingly shackled by them at all. Oh, you copied the RMG from HotA. Good for you, good for you. That is important. Now can you finish the rest of the fucking game?

AI is probably the best in the series so far. You could day 3 break with Luna and corner camping firewall shenanigans in Homm 3. With this AI the behemoths would just stand between you and your firewall waiting for it to fade and reshape your asshole. Non veteran players are gonna struggle a lot on anything higher than normal. And normalfags won't beat normal.

Is this worth trying if I found HoMM always kinda mediocre?

>>737992120
Bright feels the best. I wanted to make pretty much the same color correction with shaders myself. Makes items pop out more.
Also turned off depth of field. Left every other effect on, it's nice to make the map feel more like a place, than a board game.

>>737992293
No. It’s literally HOMM 3 + 5

>>737996117
nta for me the speed is mostly fine since they increased the size of the battlefield from the playtest, but there are some units like haven t1 that move half the screen for some reason. i guess it makes weaker units more viable
>>737996140
the reason i have slight hope is because the 2 battle themes didn't exist yet in the demo and are latest music added. should revisit some of the older music especially if they actually have romero now, at the beginning they said they didnt have him

It's a turn-based strategy game. You capture towns, recruit and level up heroes (they lead your army), buy units to full out your army and go around fighting neutrals that protect all the resources. Then you go fight enemy heroes and capture their towns. Sometimes there are other ways to win.
>>

You control heroes who lead armies. Each faction has its own troops with each unit having its own stats and skills. Each hero has their own speciality which boosts some aspect of theirs. The heroes move in map with their army and you can give your other heroes' armies to one another. Your bases are towns that represent their starting faction, neutrals and enemies. The towns produce units, money and resources weekly and you get to build one new building per day. The map has resource mines, places of interest and neutral enemy stacks.

As your hero level up, their stats increase and they are offered level up perk.

You lose if all your towns are captured by enemy faction, you win if you capture all your enemy's towns. In town fight defender has walls and other defender bonuses. In the end the one playing most optimal wins, so dont spread EXP between multiple heroes but instead stack all armies and EXP to one main hero. The secondary heroes act as mules and pick up resources while your main hero does the fighting.

Split your tier 1 units to 1 man stacks and use them as meat shield or to waste enemy's counter attack. Leave your slow zombies and golems home so that they don't slow your hero down in the map. Prioritize dwellings and walls/fort/castle upping dwelling unit production over money. Money can be gotten later but you can't get back missed unit production.

>>737998893
not the same anon but is there any reason to even uprgade dwelliings of the slowfags?
>>
>>737998934
I wouldn't prioritize upgrading them unless the payoff is good. I usually prioritze upgrading dwellings that up my damage output, especially for shooters or gimmick units like Genies and others who benefit from the upgrade. Of course for the final battle you want to have your Golems and Zombies upgraded but while exploring the map, I doubt you will be relying on them.

I'm unsure if every type of unit (living, undead, embodiment etc) having different luck and morale limits is a good thing or needless autism

Don't get me wrong, I'm purely speculating here. They haven't announced exactly how campaign ends or anything.
I'm just making an educated guess, based on the reputation mechanics, how often you get dialog choices, varied mission structure and the whole setup of evil bug demons invading the world, unite or perish.
I imagine it would be something like "neutral end with some factions allied", "good end with all factions allied and saved" and the "corrupted ending"

It only has the first act of the campaign and the premade map selection is very limited. You will mostly be playing on random maps, which are pretty good this time around.

People just don't want to associate with Russia. There's a reason why majority of ex-soviet countries rather joined West instead of staying in Russia's sphere of influence. Same reason Ukraine decided to kick Russia out.

Russia needs satellite countries to larp "superpower". When ex-soviet countries rejected Russia, Russia felt humiliated and to show it totally wasn't an ego thibg, Russia did what any monkey would do and went ape shit for losing face and credibility. Now Russia is stuck with its 3 days Special Military Operation for fifth year because it can't let go.

Not in the game itself, but the templates use variables from JSON files, so you could try modding the template by yourself. The files aren't hard to find and you can edit them with notepad.
I don't know how well that will work, but it's not hard to try and as long as you have a backup of the original file, there is zero risk involved.
