>These motherfuckers specifically swapped-out the exact mechanics of harpies with some Drizzt-up nigger elves so they could double-down on aping D&D rather than keeping Dungeon authentic to its own established themes.
I want to like this project but this gives me infinite rage. If they don't have some type of harpy added by release I will give them such a fucking review.
>>
>>738115920

Everyone has 1/2 tank units, some with different role
I'd say dungeon for having both Minotaur and Hydras. Hydra especially with that specialist hero can doak a gigantic amount of punishment

Grove have earth elemental being tier 3 but with tier 5 level HP, Temple has inquisitors, immune to magic damage and ignoring dndmy attack, etc.

Frankly, the way damage calc work, as long as you stack the good modifiers everyone can feel tanky. Radiant armor + Optical illsuion is 30% incoming ranged damage, for example

Harpies in recent heroes games, more specifically h6 and h7 have been a stronghold exclusive unit.
Their hit and return mechanic has been moved to dungeon now which is interesting, if they ever add stronghold to the game they'll have to give them something else indeed.

Honestly I like the infiltrators with that ability it combos really well with lucky strike and no retaliation upgrade, in previous games infiltrators were kinda useless. Now although they're squishy they have the tools to quickly get in and out.
>>
>>738116774
Imo harpies fit better in barbarian town so I'm hoping we'll see them there if we even get an expansion adding Stronghold.
>>
>>738117079
You must hate Homm5 then.
>>
>that mission on expert difficulty where you side with the grove
Make sure to get the astrologer's puzzle right, he rewards you with starchild summon spell. That campaign exclusive hero can cast spells 2 times without any penalty+the grove faction bonus which reduces spell cooldown every time you use focus and then chain it with druid's mana regen+focus regen from the pixies and various abilities spam spells and rush the fuck out of temple.
Otherwise you're not beating them if it goes late game. Their units are much better and synergize better with daylight magic.

>>738116543
In unmodded homm5 this was a fucking nightmare since you could rotate the overworld camera. At least in oe that's not possible + you can permanently highlight interactable objects

Hopefully Stronghold will be added (with harpies) and all will be well, but do we even have any confirmation they're aiming for faction amount parity?
>>
>>738116774
Harpies have been replaced by dark elves since HoMM5. Another 3casual having a melty.
>>
>>738117696
>since HoMM5
Correction, technically since HoMM4 since harpies were in the barbarian faction and dungeon was half-inferno.
>>
>>738117665
They said right now they just want to get the game out of early access as in finishing the campaign and other things.
And only after that they'll start thinking about adding more factions.
Stronghold and Fortress are obviously missing.
Academy/Tower is also not there and the tentacle faction is not really academy equivalent so there's a possibility they will add them.
>>
Creatures moving factions between games is completely normal for the series unless you're a LARPer who cares about

What do anons think about removal of ballistae and siege weapon mechanics in general.
Did they say if they will add them in the future? Probably not right? considering in other heroes games some of those mechanics were already incorporated into specific heroes.

>>738118268
Feels like a fundamental part of the series and shouldn't have been removed, alongside with water and underground (all of which had their gameplay issues but they weren't beyond repair). It seems like a very odd exclusion because integrating it later would be harder than accounting for it in the initial balancing. At the same time war machines aren't that important to the overall feel of the game especially when creatures have so many abilities of their own to account for.

I just realised that objects you can interact with for a benefit (like fight or weekly you haven't claimed yet) glow slightly while the ones you can't benefit from have grey outlines. Helps saving from having to right-click everything.

Hero strikes are the new siege weapons. Don't really feel like adding yet another button to press each round, in form of machine abilities, is needed for combat. There are plenty of things to consider. It'd be tricky to make them interactable and fun enough also.

I think Stronghold is the safest bet in term of additional faction. Not just because of its iconic status but also because of what we know about the continent.
Looking at the map I could also see pirate or lizardmen faction. Although the possible unit line-up for Fortress got a bit ate up by other factions. With Dungeon getting not only hydras, but also gorgons as hero's mounts, Hive taking the whole insect theme and even Couatl ending up as a neutral unit.
As well I don't know where Tower/Academy could fit in this, but I wouldn't write it off completely.
>>
>>738118745
hero strikes aren't a new mechanic to the series and have existed alongside war machinery up until now. also consider every ranged troop has unlimited ammo which used to be a balancing point for some ranged units

That was the toughest mission so far for me. AI easily gets fed, a lot of strong neutrals to fight, limited amount of units to get, since everything is so expensive. And it's a long walk for reinforcements.

Can you recommend any of the current scenarios? I thought the grove one was kinda shit, maybe I'm still bad at the game, but I didn't like how most of the map was closed off by huge stacks

Finished the campaign and had my fun until the rests comes out.

Which faction do you prefer, anons ?

how does that matter anywhere near as much as gameplay/combat? I'm in the city for much less time just building one upgrade a day/recruiting once a week
I don't want to say it doesn't matter at all, like atmosphere and such is part of the experience, but I just don't think they're bad, Schism looks really cool imo

Nope per stack, most use I've had of it is to start with the priest unit hero on Templar which starts with this spell, and then upgrade archer to double strike early.

A faction first impression comes from the city screen, and it's one of the core identities alongside Units and Heroes. You come back to the city screen turn after turn. A large part of my enjoyment of the games are from those vibes. Sylvan, Academy, and Haven in 5 were standouts, as were pretty much all of 3's. The towns in OE aren't hitting the same notes for me. Maybe it's the slight wiggle of the view, the way it feels to select buildings, or the building style and animations. I haven't been able to put it succinctly into words yet.

Same planet, different continent, from M&M8 and other sources. Set ~250 years before previous games I think. There are younger versions of characters present, Vatawna, Vesper or Gunnar heroes for example.

>>738125760
War machinery is pretty basic, i'm not saying it's impossible but their absence at EA launch is an indication they're not coming. Their inclusion should also affect the balance of ranged units due to presumably not having unlimited ammo anymore if war machinery return. Hell even the catapult isn't targetable which further enforces my belief that they're not coming

Don't rely on autoresolve :^)
Try using crowd control spells and abilities more often.
Split stacks to always have 7 units, either for body blocking or baiting counter attacks.
Fighting ranged neutral camps early often leads to losing units as well.
>>
>>738126010
But it all depends on maps, even 150%+ is piss easy on some maps, even worse is with single hero templates and how the enemy AI is just retarded.
Either they invade you within 2-3 weeks with a big ass army and 20+ stats, casts 2 spells each turn and 2x heroic strikes with massive damage
or
they do nothing and then at the end have a small ass army.

Because this AI is programmed to be an opponent first, not to simulate irl player or try and win against you.
Judging by how it is currently after patch, I bet devs had much more brutal version of it, which they gradually toned down, because players complained and cried about AI being unfair or not chill enough..

This how I feel based on campaign and one game with shism only one hero mode with 5 AI FFA on normal with schism, ez victory

Schism ( confusing as hell but seemed pretty OP once you figure it out and fun)
Dungeon ( pretty tanky and I always liked them in HOMM3 so )
Templar ( good but dunno its boring to play humans for some reason)
Grove ( dunno didnt click for me )
Necro ( Havent had time to test properly will prob be above Grove)
Hive ( I doubt i will like them prob last place)

It’s not out yet this is early access so it is still missing a lot of features.

But also probably not. 3 is special and nothing can really top it. It is a legacy of its time, from the pre rendered graphics to the crisp animations to the music to the horrible balance that actually makes everything fairly balanced because everyone has access to some broken bullshit. I still think it’s pretty good. Artifact set bonuses aren’t quite as ridiculous but there are some + other bonuses in particular that make Magic heroes fucking crazy spell slingers that can destroy entire armies by casting 4+ times per turn.

The one that counterattacks first is such a broken upgrade it’s difficult to not consider it one of the best upgrades in game let alone compared to the other one. You can then give it buffs to its initiative or speed or give it unlimited counterattacks or make it nearly immune to ranged damage or a billion other things that very much make it stand heads and shoulders above its cousin.

But speaking realistically if you just slap the infinite counterattacks spell on them and waddle in with your parry you can do the same thing but without taking any damage on the enemy turn.

Because you literally don't need them given how strong neutral overworld spells are

Also Unyielding Will (also comes with Parry on the Minotaur Lord good god) ignoring enemy attack is just absurd and makes them take nodamage from enemy creatures for the round unless they have Wound or some kind of non Attack derived damage source.

They actually really need to make effects easier to see at a glance, because it’s hard to tell if a unit has a buff or debuff on it at a glance and some of them are game winning.

At least he was polite and wanted to talk first, unlike all the temple main characters i've met.
Tu be fair, I suspect the game flips who is portrayed good or bad depending on you ally choices.
Temple still had a bunch of side quest in my mission, despite me always siding against them. Some were reasonable, like saving choco priestesses from liches, other were sus, like fat monk trying to convert druids with religious pamphlets.

Skill line is good for a pure mage with multiple schools and buffs you Avatar
Energize for skill heavy gameplay, blink can be ok, reinforcement spells to get units from across the map, carapace great against all-in or to save your shit, Mirror copy is nuts with some creatures like hive queens and Doreath's tide fucks with initiative which is always good.
>>
>>738134994
Try playing that spell in hot-seat :^)
I like upgraded Mirror Copy and Optical Illusion.
Guillotine can nuke high level units without magic immunity quite hard.
Still not my favorite magic tree to specialize into.
>>
I guess magical creatures don't deal magical damage and things that reduce "magic damage" just refers to spells?
>>
>>738134269
I just won a game because I had a spell that made enemies unable to range attack/counterattack while giving myself Riposte (my units counterattack first and can counterattack twice), that's some major bullshit, but an opponent could have a mainly spell based strat that doesn't really care about that and so on, it's rock paper scissors with idk nukes, orbital lasers and some other third OP thing

Told you. Anons don't like it because it's not as bombastic, dramatic and attention grabbing as in previous games. But it fits well and doesn't get grating during long sessions.

1 round per 2 spellpower is 2x or 3x more efficient than most buff ( where you need 4 Spell power+ per additionnal turns) Assuming you are about equal you should insta dispel everything. If you need something that's unconditionnal, anti magic removes everything and can't be dispelled back. Deny them buffs so your own stacks can get them down.

Yeah, in lore it's because each continent develops their own separate schools, these are Jadame magic founders.
You choose a specific school skill or generalized Intelligence skill to being able to use tiered spells. Each school skill also potentially upgrades the level of the spells of that magic type, greatly improving the effect. For example lvl 1 buff affects 1 guy, lvl 4 same buff affects everyone and for longer.
There is also fifth Neutral magic, Astrology, that has global spells like fly, dimension door, pocket bank etc.
Sellpower stat increases the effect, knowledge gives max mana.
Building a Mage tower gives random spell of the school that the town is associated with. But you also can buy specific spell with Alchemical Dust resource, that is hard to get and valuable. And you can upgrade +1lvl spell directly with Dust, but only once each.

I'm still on the fence about this. Non-human heroes being represented by generic person-on-horse models is cheap, especially when 3D animation and modeling is incredibly easy to do compared to how the 2D HOMM games were animated. If they cut corners here, especially given a selling point seems to be monster girl waifufaggotry, then every corner possible was probably cut.

>>
Is the Undead Kittenhorn quest bugged? I can't talk to it anymore.
>>
>>738138815
yes paradoxically. A 3d model is one model that can be looked at at multiple angles, a 2d models is 4-8 separate models.
>>
>>738128237
Soo... when does it leave early access?
>>
>>738138815
Its because 2D uses pregenerated frames so every single one has to be made manually whereas 3D animation is just math to make smooth transitions between a couple poses. Its hours of work to minutes by comparison.
>>
>>738138526
This seems like a thing they might add during early access if you send them feedback or make a thread on steam and others agree with you
>>
>>738138815
I mean he is right, they are much easier and cheaper these days than 2D drawn shit. But homm sprites starting with 3 were 3D models too, not pure pixel art. Anyway, making a custom model for each hero, a rig, effects and animating all that is still retarded amount of work, for very little gains. I'd rather them make 120 new units than same amount of custom heros.

wiki, which is probably demo information.

My bad. Still, never had issue mostly because i play magic heroes myself so my buff are generally as good or better
>>
>>738138682
Very much, yes. But they are also flexible, depending on the hero and what upgrade path for units you choose. It's much harder to always upgrade every creature building, they require Alchemy Dust also. At least early on you have to specialize, maybe skip upgrading some units.
There is also an extra progression system, Law, that is like a tech tree. It allows to focus further on some creatures, fixe holes in economy, improve magic etc.
All these mix, so at least for now there seems to be a lot of possible combinations. We'll see how magic develops, there are some powerful things in each type, with a lot of utility even if you don't specialize.
>>
>>738140242
Yes, you can fight fire with fire for sure.
For the most part at the point you get to fight the other player you can tell who won. It's rare to have two players with similar skill level and RNG.
You can get up to 3 spells a round with certain combos, it's quite insane.
