Slavs done did it again
>>738178171is this game fun if ive never played a HoMM game before?
>>738178263Yeah I'd nevee touched HoMM before and I enjoy it.
>>738178263do you like tbs? theres a demo on steam
>>738178171>vampires
bots have bullshit stacks on week 2 but it's okay, Steiner will backdoor their towns

>>738178546>7.5Tell me more
>>738178516Mein führer, this is a single hero scenario.
is this shit even might and magic anymore?what even is might and magic now?>I don't know
>>738178607>what even is might and magic now?dead series that nobody cares about
>>738178559Takes the core of the game which is good and fixes its biggest problems (shit AI and bugs), and adds heaps of content (5 new towns, extra creatures for all factions, new spells/neutrals/items and content in general)Basically modern game design applied to homm without any of the usual downsides that usually comes with the modern games>>738178607not even oldfags could give you the correct answer to this
Do you think there is even a single person at Ubisoft who's ego got insanely shattered after this? Or are they all soulless golems
>>738178607Feels way more like Might and Magic than Ubisoft’s earlier OC donut steel Ashan crap.
>>738178607Considering how eclectic and ridiculous M&M as a franchise is, yeah, OE is very on brand.
>>738179232It will be another New Vegas situation where they pretend it doesnt exist and will bastardize it when they get the chance (like with the fallout show).
>>7381791037 is the only one of the newer homms I never played, holy shit it looks badhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b_Osf_Cc_8It's like the devs purposefully tried to make a worse ui than 5'sAlso the map tiles are still squares which is a big turn-off for me
>Warcraft esque art>no Fortress/Lizardfolk factionI want cool monsters, not More sissy vampires and dark elves. Fuck my gay life.
>>738178171Atrocious warcraft artstyle.
>>738178171why does it look like WoW instead of proper fantasy stuff?
>>738178281Why is she hiding her cute nose?
>>738178171>homm3 but uglier and worse in every wayshan’t.
>>738179232I think there are probably a few people at Limbic Entertainment (MM10, HoMM7) who are sad they were not the ones to make a game like this because some of them genuinely loved Might and Magic but they just could not pull off anything similar due to Ubisoft restrictions and their own lack of talent.
>>738178171What mobile game is this?
>>738179613and what is "proper fantasy stuff"?
>>738179570>>738179613Topic specific schizo:.................. Acquired.
>>738179560>>738179570>>738179613at least wait more than 30sec between posts ubishill

>>738178524holy shit Galthran is that old?
>>738179698A generic D&D art from 80s-90s
>>738179698certainly not this WoW cancer
>>738178171this isn't really related to homm specifically but this kind of fantasy in general, why is dying such a big deal if you become an undead anyway that at worst has a repeat of his angst years but otherwise remains perfectly sane?
game takes place before even HOMO 1 yet we have Gunnar. Are minotaurs biologically immortal?
>>738179698HoMM2
>>738179829This is truly one of those you have to be nostalgic for itYou don't need nostalgia to think 3 looks great
>>738179810because no one wants to undergo transition against their will
>>738179763probably because it looks good
>>738179232Me, who has to buy the game because it's not published by us, meaning I don't get free access to it.
>>738179829looks pretty shit unc
>>738179960ubisoft should hire me because i would never waste my time playing their trash
>>738178171>delusional uncThings were better in the old days and zoomers/alphas should be madder about that than anyone. They're the ones who have been born into a world world of shit and expected to like it.
I like how Dungeon is porttrayed in the campaign. I thought minotaurs will be stereotypical rip and tear retards but Gunnar is surprisingly dignified. I wonder if he fucks human men
>>738179747He is referred to as a fresh, young vampire lord in OE. Thant is also here and he is not happy how Galthran conducts his necromantic business. Thant is already a legend in OE times tho.
>>738180030ok boomer
>>7381798572 plays worse than 3 but it looks amazing. You don't need nostalgia to think so, you just need a brain.
>>738180090zoomers are a disease. Just wait until some youtuber makes a video about homm2 then they'll pretend to have liked it all along.
>>738180068It's sad that you don't have any self respect.
>>738180056>necromancy faction is a bureaucratic nightmareFitting I guess
>>738180090idk i played a lot of 2 and 3 and i prefer 2 all the way but appreciate 3 and understand why its considered a timeless masterpiece
hows multiplayer? im a noob… are there any noobs there? or only tryhards from hota?
>>738180183Probably the best time to get into, pros are still learning and newbs are plenty. It will get only harder as time goes on.
>>738180056I'm surprised they survived this long in a world were towns change hands every week and you can't go 1km without some random mosnter wanting to rape you in the woods
>>738178607I have the game for youIt's SCIENCE
>>738178263memorize the pve exploration loop for 30 minutes and end the match in 1 fight.
so should I take XP or gold from chests?
>>738179812Is it the same Gunnar?
My taxes are being spent on Polish trannies shilling mobile garbage.
HOMM3 SoD had a Europe map, is there anything like that in OE?
>>738180587you're unemployed you don't pay any tax :DD
>>738179812M&M games always had loads of different people using the same name, even on different planets
>>738180531>>738179812Same family tree, but different character. Seems to be a minotaur naming tradition.
How many missions is the campaign?
>>738178607>is this shit even might and magic anymoreNever was. Sticking M&M to the end of Heroes was always a marketing ploy made up by their publisher, while the devs themselves intended them as two separate franchises. Any direct reference to M&M is superficial "guess we doing this now lol" afterthought
>>738180681>he thinks neets aren't paying taxes
>>738178171>question mark like in warcraftLike in my hecking heroes games... ohhh the nostalgia! Can anyone explain how this shit is somehow related to heroes of might and magic?
>>738180318>It's SCIENCE
>>738180901>nooo muh vatget a job you fucking leech :DD
>>738180947>23% tax doesn't matter
>>738180183The sooner you hop in the better.After a month it will be only Hardcore™ gamers.
>>738180997>let me tell you how me living off taxpayer money and buying coca cola is me actually paying taxleftists are mentally ill
>>738180773I can't remember this tradition in homm franchise but these are Taurens so who the fuck cares.
>>7381808299 total in campaignYou get to play 7 per playthrough, with 2 exclusive missions per faction+ 7 story based scenarios
>>738178171>pick any difficulty except game journalist easy>fail to scale up significantly week 1 & 2>get rekt>manage to scale up significantly week 1 & 2>AI wrecks another AI player>either you attack asap or get overwhelmed since ai has enough map control and plays well enough you WILL get rolled in a while
>>738181671is ai in this game that brutal? i havent played yet
>>738181671>>738181740easy and normal were significantly nerfed 2 days ago
>>738178171Those vampires gave me a good chuckle.
>>738181436ty
>>738181740Depends on the map. On some maps it's borderline impossible to beat, on other maps it's super easy even on 200%
>shits down your throat
>>738181671Its how it is in a multiplayer also. You don't want to sit on your ass with 1 hero slowly clearing all objects. You need to expand fast: move, gather, explore.If you play like a grandma just pick easy difficulty. It's in a game for you.
>>738181887First thing that gets nerfed for sureGo beat campaign on max difficulty with it, before that happens
>>738181740The harder ones are. People complaining about easy and normal are just not good at the game. They already had to nerf the easy and normal difficulties because of complaints.
>>738181938they need to add multiplayer mode for grandmas
>>738181887XD nerd
>>738179232Considering they're making (another) M&M deckbuilder I don't think they care about making honest games
>>738178263>play HoMM III, all expansions in >the campaigns are incredibly interesting, fun, with wonderfully crafted maps >however, in the base game expansions you can't choose difficulty, so you quickly arrive at scenarios where you have maximum difficulty out the ass (meaning AI cheats and has unlimited resources), you have like 8 heroes to manage (which you NEED to painstakingly bring to every shrine/academy/magic guild/towns with one time exp or stat bonuses, in the previous scenarios, so that you have a fighting chance This game quickly gets balls to the wall hardcore as hell. Why can't I just use two or three heroes, one as main army carrier/character and supporting guys who deliver reinforcements from castles/pick up stuff like lumber etc from cleared areas, while you maximize your main hero movement points? If Restoration of Erathia campaigns are supposed to be the easiest, then what the fuck did they put inside Armageddon Blade and Shadow of Death (except difficulty setting)?
>>738181972Single hero mode is already there
>>738182013>they're making (another) M&M deckbuilderLink? MMDOC was kino
>>738181972If I understand correctly after a few weeks, all grandmas going to be filtered in a kiddie pool, so you can play Jebus cross for a month.>>738181887>what's always kill 1 unit in a stack attacks?
>>738179829those sprites are so good, still play some from time to time
>>738181945I don't think it's all that powerful when you factor in the opportunity cost.
>>738182028>fun with wonderfully crafted mapsSomeone has been wearing nostalgia goggles. A lot of the maps in the campaign are trash. And I mean horrid trash. Besides them reusing some maps even. You probably remember a few of the good maps, and have just forgot how many bad ones there were, hell there were straight up maps where you were made to fail if you did not replay it a few times, because it would give you long ass winding tunnels that were dead ends.
>>738179543I never played 7 but did they really go with flat city screen design? It really baffles me how NO ONE after 5 gas even tried a 3d panoramic city view ever again. I just can't believe it.
>>738182009>>738182086The biggest problem is how this allows you to steam roll all neutrals at the start of the game with zero risk
>>738182078Might & Magic Fates, it's already out it seems, I didn't play it because it just seemed too similar to Riot's league card game and HearthstoneMMDOC at least had something unique about itYou can still play it btw, there's a custom server made by the same guys who made HotA, google "MMDOC Revival"
>>738182179In a game, where you want to just hop in a castle, buy/upgrade/build in a few seconds, loading rotated 3d beautiful thingy is just a waste of time, biggest complain HOMM5 have is how slow everything is, even trade between 2 heroes is in 10 clicks minimum, and in HOMM3 it was 2 clicks.>>738182217How much mana does it cost? It's not free, it's freeing as a hero with 7 skeletons can creep while another with a rest of an army creep something else, but it still a risk and cost.
>>738182173Campaign hero gets it for free in a side quest, can cast 2-3 spells in the same turn and it costs 0 mana. Really helps with clearing 1000s of skeletons, save up mana and troops.
>>738182217Its a crutch. It ends up being a dead skill, so sure, you might have an easier early game. What about late game, when someone rolls up with an actually useful skill? I'm not saying its trash, but I have seen better players do just fine early on with nothing but 1 stacks and 1-2 kill stacks, rolling trough most of the map. >>738182382It costs 0 mana.
>>738182382Its free
>>738182382>It's not freeit literally is
>>738182217Don't you still need some stats on your hero before it actually becomes good?
>>738182456>>738182415>>738182407
>>738182478Once you've gotten like 2 levels on your hero you can cast it anywhere on the battlefield and fuck over all neutral camps, even ranged with zero risk.
>>738179232Look at it this way. Ubisoft being retarded mean the world gave us this game because they gave up on it and seized control of it to someone who did care about it.The world is better off with Ubisoft being retarded.
>>738182407>dead skillIt really isn't. The avatar consistently has nearly the highest initiative, can be summoned anywhere (with a subskill from Avatar), and with the recent buff to Thaumaturgy it can even get buffed after being summoned. It's obviously better on a Magic hero because of the Spellpower scaling. I haven't checked if there's a way to min-max summoning (Avatar and Star Child), but even just Avatar is great.
Is Olden Era a new world, world of HoMM 1 to 3 or 5?
>>7381825531-3 world (M&M8 world to be precise)
>>738182481>yobaruskies are here….
>>738182593Didn't 1-3 world got nuked in Armageddon's Blade causing them to migrate to the world of 4?What happened to Inferno anyway?
>>738182553It’s set in the same universe as Heroes of Might and Magic 1-3, on the continent of Jadame, but takes place in an earlier time period.
>>738182481back to 2ch with you
>>738182626It did get nuked, but oe is a prequel
>>738182359>early access>mixed reviews>dead gameLolWhat was even the point of killing mmdoc if they're just gonna do this again
>>738182648>>738182678So it's a prequel, no wonder I'm getting confused Inferno isn't playable.
>>738182626It’s a prequel, so Inferno doesn’t exist yet.
>>738182593How does that connect to MM8 Jadame anyway? Because I don't remember giant demon bugs and elven squids in MM8. Just a big robot, lots of crystals, Sando and Flamdring.
>>738182617Are you a bot? The only reason HoMM is still being made is because of Russians.
>>738182725same continent and factions to some extend (temple, dark elves and necromancers)
Only thing being knowledgeable about might and magic provides you is useless factoids like>angels are robots>devils are alien>the bad guy campaign leader in 2 knows how nukes work
>prequelSo how does hive turn into inferno
>>738182541The mana cost is really not the issue, you are using your spell cast for the turn to summon it. There are just way more impactful spells at least when fighting players, or hell even clearing creeps. Sure I could cast avatar, and proceed to wipe out the enemy stacks, or just cast 1 chain lightning and get it over with in 1 turn. Or any of the buff/debuff spells. Its great for tempo, but mid to late game, it really is a burden to cast.
>>738182757they are unrelatedalso I think devs said that schizo controls hive but I haven't played campaign so dunno
>>738182757No, infernos are space aliens.
>>738182785act 1 ends with schizo reveal so probably
>>738182732Poland would like to have a word with you. All the recent and by recent I mean last few years, tournaments that I got exposed too, were polish.
Hallelujah! https://github.com/Aersirma-dev/TemplateEditorHOMMGoldenEra
>>738182815bro hota crew is russian and the developers of this game are russian, olden era only exists because the russians went to ubisoft begging to use the rights
>>738182765Chain lightning costs like 27 mana and doesn't prevent the enemy ranged stack from raping you. You won't even be able to cast it at first.Also just combine avatar with the double cast skill.

>>738182725Bugs and squids are a inspired by lore from M&M8 (bee level) and Plane Between Planes. Not much tho, they are mostly completely new.We'll probably learn more about bugs when campaign is fully complete.
>>738182951>>738182970>THERE IS A CASTLE BUILDING WHERE I CAN VIEW ALL MY UNITS AND THEIR PERKSNO THERE ISNT.>ITS THEREWHERE? WHERE IS IT?LETS SAY I WANT TO QUICKLY LOOK AT THE UNIT ROSTER OF MY CITY, AND CHECK THEIR PERKS.WHERE CAN I DO THAT?WHERE?>NOWHEREOK.
>>738182854Well yes, that is why I agree, early game avatar is neat. But so very quickly you can get better spells. >ranged stacksWell if there are multiples, a single avatar can't block them either. But a single lvl 4 twilight absolutely shits on them all. Ignoring the fact that a chain lightning will wipe out the majority of ranged stacks anyway.With a faction like the elves, I was spamming chain lightning on the hero that has it as a specialization on something like day 4 or 5. Since you get infinite mana with the faction. Avatar really is not bad, and can definitely help a secondary hero take some easier fights. But for my main hero, I would rather not have it.

>>738183308Order is based as fuck. Best buff, and best single target nuke. Lvl 4 radiant armor is crazy good, -35% dmg reduction for all your units. And Judgement is an insane nuke. At lvl 4 its 300 base damage and 60x spell power. Honorary mention, tier 1 nightshade. For probably having the best tier 1 lineup of spells of all schools. Enlarge shadow and unnatural calm are both decent and can be upgraded to their mass version, web is just good, and despair... its fine, usually not worth it.
>>738183547no, heroes won't matter but don't racemix units themselves
>>738183547No, only if you mix creatures. If you have only order units on your undead hero, they won't care, but add any undead and they will flip their shit because of potential race mixing.

Town portal solves that already, since you can visit 3 towns per turn with 1 hero spamming town portal, so using it correctly you can snag up units from 4 different towns on the day you get them.Few people like the regular mode because its really REALLY difficult to efficiently hero chain, its not about just bringing new units to your main hero. Its mostly about clearing the whole fucking map in 3 days by taking battles with many heroes before they pass on the army to the next hero who is supposed to fight more battles, and only later on your "main" hero starts forming.
>>738183948Because choosing between collecting units on foot, getting dedicated spells for that or doing something else is a strategic decision you have to make. Gotta sacrifice something.
>>738183985The demo ui is different from the early access version.
>>738184006Yeah when I play single hero I expect to start with like 1 town and maybe later find another one. But on most maps you start with 2-3 and there's 2 more close by.Like what the fuck, it feels like there's zero map variation.
>>738184040you designed the UI, didnt you.
>>738184020 Yeah. I dunno man, I just wanna play videogames. They are my escapism tool so I don't have to deal with shitty modern politics.
>>738183815It is shit I'm not defending it but it's not a deal-breaker. Icons are there because normalfags hate reading, there should be an option to change them into key words.
>>738184062>retard crying over shit he made up in his own headGrim
>>738184062they changed almost everything about UI, even mage guild screen, retard
wish we could convert towns like in that one HOMM3 mod. If you're playing necro you can fuck yourself, mixing units will make them perma demoralized so it's hard to replenish troops as you're forced to use only undead units
>>738184082>The demo ui is different from the early access version.it is? did they actually change anything? its just as unreadable as it was before.
>>738184062How do you change the UI so a schizophrenic autist who refuses to click on things or hover over things can use it? Literally every menu requires some form of clicking and hovering, but hey, if you can design a menu that directly streams all information straight into your brain, and reacts to your thoughts. Go for it.
>>738183308>>738183771In PvP that one seems to be the one that wins me the most matches outright if I get itMost people draft at least two ranged units and it just completely cripples them or forces the enemy to use a spell to get them useable again
>>738183909HoMM fans are Homestuck of vidya, they screech about everything
The sad part is that the schizo is right, but since he's so unhinged any criticism will get swept under the rug and dismissed as "inane ramblings">>738184065>Because caravans are not the solutionThey quite literally are. It's a great feature that could only benefit from expanding it further, instead of getting cut
>>738184139Bro, you chose the worst faction as an example. Necro can turn everything into their own units. And necro also does not care about morale (on undead units). In fact, you want to harvest as many non necro units as possible with the power of diplo, since they all get turned into undead thanks to the necro transformer.
>>738184212These tourists are not fans, ask them to show their latest HoMM save and you get crickets
>>738184139Necro at least can just transform everyone into Undead in their cities, other factions don't even get that option
>>738183997that guy was iconic
>>738184238You should check out overworld neutral spells because they quite literally make caravans obsolete, just higher barrier to entry
>>738184139>mixing units will make them perma demoralizedRead your laws. Also you can turn those units into undead.
>>738184238Ok, please expand on what the caravans are a solution too, because I clearly am misunderstanding you then. Since for the sake of getting units on your main hero, town portal does it better than caravans, and you would never want to use caravans if you have access to TP (which everyone gets in olden era). And for the sake of hero chaining, caravans were not a viable way to do it, since you had to pass a turn to send the caravan, completely defeating the point of hero chaining, which was hitting up as many objectives and fights in a single day.
>>738184302>angelic alliance is a governmental edict now
>>738180276necro heroes are the ones doing the raping
>>738184175>how do i make a non-dogshit UI?thats easy, make a UI that just shows the information without the need for pointless clicking, or needing to hover the mouse over icons. >Literally every menu requires some form of clicking and hoveringnot really no, i see you never played homm3. olden era will be remembered as a game with the single worst dogshit UI ever made in the franchise.
>>738178607I'm not sure if there was a clause in their contract or what, but when Ubisoft bought Might and Magic it feels like they were forbidden from referencing old lore which begs the question of why they bought the IP in the first place.
>>738184537>olden era will be remembered as a game with the single worst dogshit UI ever made in the franchise.i am begging for tourists to play homm 5 and 7, i mean look at this shit >>738179543
Game is quite fun, but I hate how every map template is just 100% pandering e-sport PvP faggotry.
>>738184573>7?the franchise ended with homm5.
>>738184108fuck off nigger this is a hobby for people having fun, not for faggot niggers like you to escape from reality in.
>>738184574Yup, maps suck right now.But we already have simple template editors.Give it more time, game is popular enough to get hand made stuff once map editor is completed.
>>738184302would it be so hard to have the text next to that mobile game icon? instead of having to hover the mouse over it?
every empire in human history had mixed ethnicities in it's army by the virtue of being fucking empires. So why in HOMO people lose their shit because they stand next to an elf?
>>738184741You are an actual retarded wtf lmao, do you have any idea how many laws are on that pageI guess you gotta cry about something!
>>738184537Yo are pretending right? You are just showing that you are a secondary that never played homm3 yourself. Imagine thinking that I don't actually have it installed at this very moment.
>>738180276Enroth people are hardy folk. There are 100s of evildoers lurking around, like indians, gypsies and black cannibals.
>>738184537HOMM3 requires right-clicking to see detailed enemy abilities, OE you only need to hover your mouse. Cue this schizophrenic retard explaining how actually right-clicking is better than hovering.
>>738184789looks like there is a ton of free space to write 1 sentence next to the mobile game icons, sure. >>738184795>all the stats are visible without hovering or more clickinghomm3 wins again. >>738184782>every empire in human history had mixed ethnicities in it's armynot really, no.which twitter screenshot told you that?
>>738184741How the fuck would you have the full descriptions of every Law in the treeThat could only work if they made it scrollable to have like 3 times the space per icon compared to currently where everything is on screen but you have to hover
>>738184953>wrong about everything awardholy shitskin
>>738184537>>738184795Oh to add to this. If you wanted to know abilities of a creature in homm 3, you would have to build the dwelling first. Then open the castle, then click on the unit, then click on the unit again.The information that is in a single window in olden era, is 3 windows deep in homm3. >>738184953Based retard. Keep digging.
>>738185021>wrongprove it.
>>738184953what a post, damn
>you can't chat in multiplayerWhat the heck? Sissy liberals
>>738185053there is no free spaceyou cant see homm3 creature abilities without right-clickingdo everybody in this thread a favour and kill yourself tyrone
>>738185063Blame EU. You need to be able to moderate any chat you put into a game as a dev, otherwise big daddy EU fines you.
>>738185031?you are proving how much better the UI in homm3 is.
>>738185098>there is no free spaceits right there in the screenshot.
>>738185063That's sad.I want to receive death threats from other players. I find them hilarious.
>>738185137no more (You)s for you shitskin

>>738185212It is. You can get banned for chat infractions in dota 2, I never played CS 2 so I don't know about that one.
>>738185256I wish they at least went with marble in olden era. I love it when the UIs are topical.
>>738185256>nothing, just a blank fucking black/blue screenthere are literally stars and constellations in the background
>>738185137you're just proving you haven't played the game yourself for a single second you fucking retard
>>738185256the whole thing is just soulless slop. i stared at the lumber mill for like a few full minutes in total disbelief how awful everything looks like.
>>738185349>there is a blurry white dot somewhere in the shitty soullsess background: (
>>738178453Not>BLEH!?No buy
>>738178171It looks terrible. It doesn't have the aesthetic soul of the MM universe. It also just looks like a cheap reskin of homm3.Regression + degeneration
>>738185256>why are modern games so fucking soulless?its called "mobile game design". you hire a pajeet, give him 1$, and that is what you get as a result. sure the UI is trash but it only cost 1$!
>>738185454>there are poop smears on literally shit brown soulless background;_:
>>738183136That's a unit upgrade icon, and you cannot convince me otherwise.
I hope some autist backports tower/academy alongside some naga tiddies
>>738185575guys look, the pajeet finally lost it.
>>738185349>girly-blur for the sissyYeah it's gay, we get it
>>738184139>necro>demoralizedI always thought those niggas work more like undead automatons rather than thinking beingsthem being unaffected by morale, both good and bad, seems more fitting

>>738185667>I always thought those niggas work more like undead automatons rather than thinking beingsThey're controlled by a necromancer and have no autonomous thoughts yes
>>738178171>finally a good game comes out>but it's made by russians so 4chan, reddit, steam forum are all overrun by schizosShame that the 3 day SMO hasn't come to an end yet.
Hive sucks so much.They need some serious early game buffs.
>>738186043Hive was so broken in early playtests that they just removed it from the demo and shot it behind the woodshedBut hive t5s are extremely good and can take on much more than you might think with their no retaliation ability
>>738185667It's whatever else you mix with necro that gets demo'ed. Having a gorillion black dragons isn't going to do shit if they skip turn because of the scary skellingtons.
>>738183781>first time ever actually playing through a homm campaign and enjoying it>>only played restoration of erathiaare you fucking retarded?read what you wrote.Also play homm5
>>738186238Which particular part of that text triggered your aspergers
The only meta thing i know is to split garbage units into 1 and use them as a meatshield so magic/main unit clears the rest.But even that doesnt work most of the time and enemy just skips past my shit
Having grove as the most magical faction when there's schism and more importantly dungeon just seems...odd
>>738186043You just need to play well. Rushing the law that gives you one focus charge at the start of battle helps a lot. Enemies love attacking the eggs.
>>738186115You really want tactics to deploy as far as possible for alpha strike, otherwise you lose a lot of units to all the shooting.Reavers are often focused by AI, but yes they hit like a truck.
>>738186280use them to trigger enemy retaliation
>>738185875I felt bad about paying zignog devs so I just donated $50 towards the noble purpose of TZD-via-drones /shrug
>>738178263Idk man.Like like MoM, old AoW, but always bounced off HoMM.I bough this. played for 30 minutes, didn't like it either and refunded.
>>738184537>thats easy, make a UI that just shows the information without the need for pointless clicking, or needing to hover the mouse over icons.OK but that leaves literally 0% screen space for the actual game. Have you ever played a strategy game, even once, in your life?
>>738186265>Wow my first time enjoying food>I only ever tried eating food onceYour first comment implies you have been trying for a long time and this is the first time, out of many many attempts that you are actually enjoying thing. Making it special.Your second comment flat out says you tried only one thing once.Like do I really have to explain further or am I dealing with sub 90IQ that can't connect the dots?Also Homm5 is better than homm3 specifically because it has a better campaign. And if you are going ot play homm5, I highly suggest you play the base 1.0 game. As the later patches fuck with balance, mess with campaign, etc which the base campaign doesn't handle that well.
>>738186491*I like

>>738186607Real angels are neutral units
>>738186612I mean if these are just from the first hour of the game, how good can the game really be?

>>738186345I'll try that, but it's at least 9 points. The first two weeks are rough.
>>7381837812-4-6 has cool campaigns.
>>738186983Ye maybe anon wasn't aware of the deep and philosophical M&M lore especially since HoMM3 doesn't have creature descriptions in the gameGod I wish the M&M part could just be dropped already
>>738186983why? people are entitled to their opinionsas far as homm3 purists go he at least puts money where his mouth is
>>738180773does female minotaurs have udders?iirc mm8 have female minotaurs but only shows face portraits and not the full body model
>>738178171Just played my first game of non-demo version. Tried the Sylvan faction. Pretty cool, I like the focus gimmick. I especially liked the T6 and T7 units, and completely ignored the tanky slow T3.Next game I'll try out the Hive.I'll probably wait with the campaigns until the full version, but I really wish there were more scenarios...
>>738187039>people are entitled to their opinionsI am entitled to shit on their shit opinionsI understand shitting on WoG, but shitting on hota is just silly (ok maybe the deadeye effect is a bit wack, but the mod is pretty much HoMM III ++)
I enjoy the game
>>738187103Sorry Anon, but that's illegal.
>>738186996Laws of the hive let's you get it faster. You can also get the same effect from a daylight magic subskill. Mila is a good hive hero, and starts with daylight magic.
>>738187103>I enjoy the gameare you fucking lost?
>>738187103No you dont
>>738187103this is going to be my goty since gta doesn't interest me at all and i don't think anything else could even come close except maybe lords of the fallen 2
>>738186607it literally says they are not angels
>>738178171>it looks like a mobile game>it has mobile game UI>it sounds like a mobile game>it plays like a mobile gamesorry, not interested. played it for 2 hours on gamepass, uninstalled, and went back to homm3.
>>738187414It plays exactly like HoMM3
game looks fun, but i cant get over the artstyle and music compared to 3
>>738187414what are you playing on homm3
>>738187103Me too, anon, me too.
>>738187103bullshitdon't tell me you are having fun too
>>738187459Music is great, easily the best in the series after 3 and 4
>>738187457it really doesnt. >>738187479fortress, of course.
>>738180318>dangerhair in the coverimmediately dropped
>>738187529no what map are you playing
>>738187518>music is greatstop trolling.
>>738187592Play the game
>>738187518I agree, it fits well
>>738187575Warlords.
>>738187617ok im playing it right now.the music is fucking dogshit.
>>738187518ehI like some of the town themes, dungeon especially, but otherwise it's farily forgettable. Idk, maybe it will grow on me yet, but so far it's just alright.
>>738187636odd that someone who plays homm3 so often would be playing original 1999 vanilla maps
>>738187682Unmute the game and turn off autopay youtube, dummy
>>738187682>the music is fucking dogshit.yea that's fair, i wouldn't say dogshit but the sound in general is pretty mediocrethe gameplay is pretty solid so now that they made 69 gorillion rubles I think the sound will get improved, and the only real 'meh' left will be UI and arguably too-cartoonish artstyle. all in all the game is in a decent state to end up good, assuming the devs don't run away with the bag
>>738180872This. Heroes of Might and Magic is a remake/sequel for King's Bounty
>>738187150I doubt I will have enough mana to cast Energize every battle.I had the best luck with Zoran, rushing Waurms and skipping all the other units.
>>738187682>>738187781i wouldnt say its dogshit, but it works like a lullaby, its making me fall asleep. >HOMM3>EXTREMELY ADVENTEROUS MUSIC, SOUNDS LIKE A GIGANTIC ORCHESTRA PLAY TAKEN STRAIGHT FROM LORD OF THE RINGS OR SOMETHING>olden era>a flute solo>a slow, ASMR violin soloZZZZZZzzzzZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzz
>>738178263more like is it fun if I played HOMM a lot before?
>>738188210If you let yourself have fun, than it is
I think uhhhhh either Songs of Conquest or Hero's Hour had a really good mechanic where you could just download player made maps directly from the game menu and just immediately start them. Idk why this isn't a standard. They should have made it like that here as well.
Im just in the 2nd mission of the campaign and i have a complaintWas i supposed to know that the map would close and seal me off from my city?I understand that the game seems to now want me to do the "2nd half" of the mission using the dwellings, but i felt like i should have gotten a stronger army before triggering that collapseAre those campaign maps thought to be run a couple times to learn them before you beat them?I might just suck
>>738188268how does it compare to WoG? I can't play anything that has less mechanics
>>738183250Answer me SAARS
>>738182820Im playing a map made with this editor right now. Its so much better then the built in map gen that shits external dwellings everywhere
Never could figure out if it was better to let enemies run or kill them for loot.
>>738184741Illiterate retards using "muh mobile" as a argument will never get old.
>factionless
>>738184139Necro does not even have this issue here, Hive actually does get penalty if you mix your army.
>>738188748if you can kill them without serious losses then always kill, shit like archers might not always be good
fucking shit game>HEHE I HAVE BIGGER STACK WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT LIBTARD?!meanwhile in Age of Wonders 4 you have to actually care about positioning and utilizing your troops you dont just have a stack of 1k trash that is unkillablewhat in the fuck am I supposed to do against an enemy with bigger stacks? I use magic and magic does fuck all because they can still fuck me up
>>738188921lower the difficulty lil bro
>>738188921play better
>>738188921Start by acknowledging that you're bad at the game.
>>738188921>enemy with bigger stacksthat means you've already fucked up and played inefficiently.just avoid confrontation until you can get an adventage
>>738188921magic does not do "fuck all", it's been pretty bullshit since the series' inception
>>738179829Comfy, so fucking comfy.
>>738188335You save often, plus you have autosave each day.That mission was the most 'gotcha' moment in the game for me. Maps against enemy heroes can be tricky with timing. As long as you don't loose many units and get map dwellings should be fine tho. Just don't sit in the castle skipping turns and have a back up plan to get back to your city. Later maps introduce a mechanic to transfer units around the map easy and you get multiple heroes.Above normal difficulty it does feel like you need to know the map yeah or else you won't keep up.Pro tip, before the mission ends, upgrade your artifacts with spare Alchemy Dust.
>>738188921I knew this game was too much for an average /v/ermin
How would you rate the magic schools and spells? Things seem decently balanced overall, though I think primal could use some buffs.Imo it'sdaylight > arcane > nightshade > primal
>>738187103Same, just had a classic "one more turn" game that i finally managed to stop cause i got too hungry
>>738189218Primal has some good spells too, but i guess they don't scale well to the late game unless you are playing hive.
>>738184782>So why in HOMO people lose their shit because they stand next to an elf?they do so in real life as well.
>>738187518I like Battle 4, gives me the most homm3 vibes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktRVgBK9-lg
Any good player made scenarios yet? Also I see there is no Olden Era section on maps4heroes, so where do people upload their custom maps?
>>738188605You could write 50 page essay about all the things that could be better with current templates.
>>738188971>>738188981>>738188985>>738189060you stupid FAGGOTS I play campaign on normal the mission where you pick between temple and necro, I picked necro, I can only have one hero, I can only have up to T4 fucking units and the enemy still appears with double the stacks I can't play optimally because the game clips my wings
>>738186542What about the 5.5 patch?
>>738186572Since when has any of that shit been might and magic related
>>738189880>bro lost to post-nerf normal AI in the campaignoh nonononono
>>738189880I played it on launch and cleared that mission ezget the dwellings under your castle for 2 weeks and kill the AI, broain't nothing to it
>>738189880Embarrassing Ok actual advice? Play faster. HoMM staples are “oh shit I need to do this I guess” and restarting or reloading an earlier save. Every map is a puzzle for optimal clear speed. You don’t need every single on map thing in fact taking every on map enemy and object will slow you down and make you weaker
>>738189218daylight > nightshade > arcane = primal
>>738189860https://github.com/KhanDevelopsGames/Olden-Era---Template-GeneratorThis is actually what i was using, not the other one linked.This is idiot proof and even i could pick options and make a more balanced map
>>738189880Bro... how are you losing in the campaign on normal. You get so stupid OP in the campaign that I was clearing most of it on normal with just the heroes starting army.
>>738190551nta but this looks cool, might give it a try after i'm done with skirmishes
I just ignore shit guarded by shooter stacks
>>738189218Nightshade>daylight>primal>arcane
>>738191089Arcane is the best school and it’s not even close and Necro getting an arcane specialist is not ok that guy is absolutely busted broken overpowered
There was no spell cooldown in the demo, was there?I dunno how I feel about it. I guess it makes sense to prevent the players from spamming some spells and to encourage them to use different ones, but the cooldowns often just seem to long. Most fights don't really last longer than 3 or 4 turns anyway.
>>738190531>>738191089Arcane would be top tier just for the fact that it has resurrection. But in reality it has plenty fantastic spells. From initiative rising ones, the traps that can easily nuke t6 and t7 enemies even in early game, the other traps that just make the enemy lose their turn, counterattack removal spell, mirror copy and a fantastic offensive spell - black hole.
>>738189657ehhstill pretty weak though, lack of intensity for a battle musicespecially when you compare it with combat 3 and 4 of homm3
>>738191183By design, but there’s plenty of ways to get 1 turn cooldowns anyways. I think it’s for the best, spamming the same spell over and over again is how you get blind loops
>>738191183There are ways to reduce cooldowns. A lot of "inconvenient" mechanics can be circumvented or minimized in general.
>>738189880>I play campaign on normal> the enemy still appears with double the stacks
How does the magic system work? When leveling up I keep seeing Basic Wisdom and other specific schools should I grab these on my mage heroes? Because I buy the mage guild in my town and my hero still gets some spells and some can be manually unlocked with a tiny bit of resources.Also how are they upgraded several times? I see Blessing's second level affects all my units but it only lets me upgrade once. I've seen the AI cast a negative damage spell and then it dropped on all my units.
>>738186572The most retarded post itt, like damn bro. And we have a UI button capslock meltdown, along with other usual schizos. The bar is kind of high, so congratz on beating it.

>>738192513so retarded he tried to save face by reposting it in /vst/ but he tried to hide that he watched a streamer.
why can't we have stack caps? HOMM is shit no wonder only eastern euros and krauts play it, they suffer from a terminal shit taste
>>738178171how's the game compared to age of wonders?
>>738192730Songs of cuckquest is that way my dude.
bullshit retarded game that spawns 6 million stacks per auschwitz out of the ass because AI cheats more than your mothers do
>>738192339Yes you want to pick specific school of magic if you want those AoE buffs/debuffs.Advanced *insert type* Magic gives +1 to all levels of that type. Expert level also gives you the option to upgrade it by another level. Another way of getting +1 is to use edict, those are faction specific but work for all heroes.Then there is Expert Thaumaturgy, where you can pick +1 to all spell levels if you have the corresponding Magic type learned.I'm sure I'm missing some other ways like artifacts.
>>738192819This is an issue with small maps, on larger ones AI shits its pants.
>>738192782AoW is like Civilization + fantasy race building simulatorHoMM is a CRPG with tactics combat
>enhanced magic scroll>it's armageddontemplates be crazy
what are your fav maps?
>>738192840>>738192339So essentially you want your spells at level 4, right?So you can get>basic X magic for level 1>advanced X magic for +1 level>expert X magic perk for +1>magic guild spell upgrade for +1 level>either sorcery or thaumaturgy perk for +1 eachHonestly the expert X magic perks are often great, so I don't like taking the spell level bonus on them. And I guess you can get extra levels with some artifacts. Is there any benefit to going above level 4?
>>738179829Speaking of, anyone played The Succession Wars, the Homm3 mod that turns the game into Homm2 and adds two new towns?
>>738193817looks pretty hideous not gonna lie unc
>have been confusing focus points with focus charges all this timeholy shit i'm dumb
why Temple are such cunts
its fun, multiplayer and arena is also fun. I think the game is fun. For how long idk but we'll see
>>738180318It's still weird to me that they renamed this game to Heroes of Science and Fiction.
>>738194573>happy trailum
>>738182176I'll actually defend the map layout reuse, e.g. when you return to starting necropolis castle in the final mission as Catherine, I thought that was climactic and cool.
>>738184065It was quite annoying that Town Portal was a high level (5?) spell in H3, not to mention it being quite rare in my experience. You were downright snoggered without logistics and pathfinding (on maps with lots of difficult terrain).
>>738186475Im sure you did.
>>738189936brakes it even more. Like you can still play it, but you will have completely different AI behavior in some campaigns changing the experience by a decent amount. In some cases enemies that should be roaming will just sit still in one place.In some cases making it harder or easier.Simply put homm5 campaign was a crafted experience. And suddenly changing balance and AI, means shit works different.I highly suggest playing your first Homm5 campaign vanilla with no mods and NO patches.
>>738189936>>738195150and obviously repeated playthroughs can be done with 5.5 or just 5 but patches to latest version. My suggestion is vanilla unpatched 5. Then expansions with the needed patches for them. And then 5.5
>>738186715HotA is a piece of shit that is a fucking parody mod of Heroes III. It tells me all I need to know about you and your pidor ilk.
how do you destroy artefacts for alchemical dust?
thought the demo was fun and got the game for 20 bucks. Hope it's cool, I played 3 back in college but always hot seat mp while high
>>738179829everyone raving about HoMM 2 graphics, but I think it's the sound effects that are superior to 3>magic arrow>cold ray>vampire BLEH
>>738188025>>EXTREMELY ADVENTEROUS MUSIC, SOUNDS LIKE A GIGANTIC ORCHESTRA PLAY TAKEN STRAIGHT FROM LORD OF THE RINGS OR SOMETHING Sounds like grating garbage.
>>738195307>DUDE
>>738195307homm games are great for when high, oe included
Dragons vs Cyborg Ninjas, lets goooooooo
Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar son of Gunnar
>>738179829Heroes III is basically a straight graphical upgrade to II, there's nothing about II that looks nice and dreamy. The main menu is pretty cool, I guess.
>>738178607Might and Magic was jank but I loved it I played then all up until 8. 9 and 10 suck balls.
>>738196223out of all the insane opinions that are thrown around these threads this probably takes the cake
around elves watch yourselves
>>738179543Homm V is my personal favorite. Colorful units like 2, a lot of things of 3 and a lot of stuff from V which makes it unique. Best city screens of the series. Very good music. 2 branching unit upgrades and writing so cheesy that it ends up like playing a Saturday morning cartoon. Alantir was based tho.
>>738179732You are out of line, but you are right
>>738178171how does this compare to Songs of conquest?
Olden Era 1.0 will be the best homm available, no doubt about it.
>>738191393Made me think of Seafaring theme of Heroes III or the Desert theme. Very beautiful songs. H3 is that little gem that was obviously made with care at all points.
I am unbeatable
>>738180168The change to Homm3 style graphics happened because they used clay models for monsters like doom did so they could reuse the assets for other Might and Magic games and not waste budget in animating sprites. It's blatant when you play MM 6-8 which is to say when they ditched sprites all together. Going to mm 5 to 6 and Homm2 to 3 was rough
>>738196663SoC is currently better, but this has hope to be a better game.
>>738196663SoC is woke, HoMMOE os basedno I will not elaborate
>>738196663OE is much better, but not as feature and content complete.
>>738181671Olden era suffers from the same heroes 5 did. It's made by slavs that lived and breathed Homm3 and know every trick in the book before even booting the game. They didn't make it for casuals. You can't turtle against the Ai anymore. Heroes V Heroic put some hair in your chest and HotA will also Rape you even if you play very well
I never played a HoMM game (unless you count Dark Messiah). Is this a good game to get started with?
>>738197225yes
>>7381972253 since it's a complete game
>>738192840>Another way of getting +1 is to use edict, those are faction specific but work for all heroes.edict?
>>738197225no
XP or gold from chests? Answer me you fucking assholes you play HOMM for 30 years
>>738198147yes
>>738197301Yea, 3 is a timeless classic, can't go wrong with that one. If you really need 3D graphics then HoMM V is breddy good. I had fun with it, I don't have any complains really, save from the patches impacting the difficulty of the campaign, for better or worse. Other than that, just install 3 or 5 with all expansions and jump in. All in all, 5 is more "forgiving" with the difficulty I believe. Still, 3 gives you far longer and involving campaigns, so if you fuck up at some scenario later on, it often means hours of playtime lost, unless you've been saving frequently enough and know where you made a mistake. But, then you most likely would have won. There are some rare mission walkthroughs still out there on the net, plus you can cheat and give yourself fat stacks of archangels if all fails and you just can't get through a given mission normally.
>>738198282HOMM 3 aged like shit like this entire series and age of wonders 4 is a better game
Enroth didn't explode.HoMM4 never happened.
>>738197225yeah
>>738198147usually gold so you can build every building you want and hire all available unitsif your economy is already running and you aren't hitting the level cap anytime soon get xp
>>738197225hope so because that's what I'm doing. Never played those games beyond some multiplayer (and that includes Age of Wonders)
>>738178453Smithers!

>>738198393If the story had continued, they planned to rebuild the planet using some form of highly advanced technology.

>>738199090What did he mean by this?
>>738193817few years back but it was (and still is) unfinished and honestly new assets are uglywhen project started it was just to put 3 in graphics in 2 but now they try to make a remake of 2 or some shit and it just doesn't work
>>738199090ok but poles are slavs too tho
>>738199090marcel do budy
this is how the strongest slavic country looks like, this is the peak of what HOMOdrones can aspire to this is why no one plays this shit series aside from slavoids and for some reason krauts
>>738199948and they are niggers too like everyone from eastern europe, civilization ends at west Berlin
>>738198147Generally gold, but this map generator tends to add a lot of gold mines in my experience so far, so actually exp might be better, at least outside of the first week or two.

Any pdfs of this?
>>738200157kisnę, dawaj więcej
in a normal strategy game like in Total War: Warhammer you have into account positioning, you have to think, manouvre meanwhile in HOMO the entire tactics is stacking shit and going in the general direction of the enemy like the dev grandpas who were gunned down by german machineguns!Today they do the same against hohols! Hohols win because they are being tutored by White Men of the West. Historically Germanic Peoples were the mightiest warriros that's why they had empires that anal fucked entire continents and TO THIS DAY have the best countries in the world. Meanwhile slavs, balts, finno-ugrics and also southrons live in third world shitholes.Truth is only Germanics are actual Europeans, the hyperborean blood is strong in them.
>>738200129maybe the 8th century tier wooden shacks that are also clearly in a disastrous state?
>>738200273you know that most homm games were made by americans, right?
Look at this specimen, forged by the cyclopean hands of hyperborean smiths, he doesn't even fucking know what HOMM is and neither does anyone in Scandinavia that's because Scandinavians are white, they only play good games such as Age of Wonders, if you showed average Thor Trollcock a screenshot from HOMM he wouldn't even register the fucking thing as a game, he'd think you showed him some AI slop collage and I don't blame him. It's been tested by the way I have sources.
Oh right, the 'ai mobile slop' spammer is polish, I remember now. He fucked up his file names couple of times in the demo threads. I see how it is.
>>738200685It's funny as fuck, not only he hates HoMM but he hates his own country.LMAO.
It's worth noting that ancient Greeks and Romans were Nordic, not the current brown southrons you see. They must weep from VALHOLL seeing the state of their homeland nowsource: https://johndenugent.com/yes-many-ancient-greeks-were-nordic-especially-the-spartan-and-thebans/
Even fucking egyptian pharaohs had R1b haplogroup, White Men of the West were ruling caste of every civilization, hell even in France it was Germanic Franks ruling over celtic peasantry.Germanic Men were chosen by the Aesir to lead the Earth.
>>738199090Why are eastern europeans like this
>>738201123central*
>>738201123no it's just polacks and it's only when it concerns homm3 or gothic
>>738201178
>>738200924I think its more likely that the direction of your schizo anti spam is generated by AI than anything in this game
Russian primary chronicle states>"Let us seek a prince who may rule over us and judge us according to the Law." They accordingly went overseas to the Varangian Russes. These particular Varangians were called Russes, just as some are called Swedes and others Normans, English and Gotlanders, for they were thus named. The Chuds, the Slavs, the Krivichians and the Ves' then said to the people of Rus', "Our land is great and rich, but there is no order in it. Come to rule and reign over us." see east slavs are smart enough to know they are only fit to be slaves of the White Men of the West, every other easternoid should take notice. slav - slave
>>738199209how did they train him for this video?
the only semi - civilized slavoid country is czech republic and they too feel nostalgic for the times where they were servants of the Germans. Slavoids yearn for the mines
>>738192692>>738192840>>738193591alright bros thanks for the response
>not gaming on Etherlord
>>738193591enemies can have -spell level skill, equipment, laws etc. expert resistance for example. So if you got only lvl 4 you can get fucked by those.
russoids pretend to be based but the second you talk shit about them they screech for jannies, slavoids are faggots
for a russoid a bit of bants is bigger problem for humanity than their AIDS and single motherhood numbers
Truth is eastern so called "europe" is so thoroughly infected with communism that the region is unsalvageable>inb4 some faggot poorlack, member of the cuck republic or hungarian zipperhead will screech about centraleveryone from east side of the iron curtain is eastern deal with it you fagglets and kill yourselves
>pol shitposting in page 9 autosage threadwhat a fucking pussy, embarrassing
I fuck fauns.
>>738204329I won't tell
>>738204329both are shit, play Age of Wonders 4 instead
