LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>2167454Anon... its shit. What are you getting excited over?
>>2167461>>2167454I played the closed beta version and I really liked it.Besides the questionable art direction, it's amazing. It's a very good combination of Heroes 3 and 5, which are my favorites. The devs did a really really good job and they had all the QoL that existed in the HoTA mod already in the game, so they know what the player want
>>2167871It's not literally exactly HoMM3 so it's abysmal fucking dogshit
I'm a H3 fanboy (honorary mentions to 2, 4 and 5) and I like it though I didn't play much. The music is kinda bland as is the artstyle, plus it's slow (or I didn't find the animation speed up options) but it does scratch the HoMM and "one more turn" itch.
>>2168347>plus it's slow (or I didn't find the animation speed up options) Options -> Additional. Also: FFFUUUCCKKK
>>2167454>>2168347>>2168354Get a trip shill

>>2168354>Options -> Additional.???
>>2168370nvm found it
>>2168365>poorIt is beyond my capabilities to be poorer than russian.
>>2167454Not having enimate dead in the spell book is just some practical joke theyre playing on all of us boneboys right, ha ha right fellas? after grinding out a game at 4 hours i was at about 20% necromancy. 20% with a necro specialist and no animate dead. Feelsbadman. At least give me an option to disable nerfomancy in sinlge player.
All heroes from the demo. Only missing heroes from not-Rampart and not-Inferno. Who's your favorite so far?
>>2168372Yes, it's only accessible from the in-mission options.
>>2168400>dat art-designUninstall wizard
I can't win the challenge misions??? Why are they so hard?
>>2168400My boy, Ethric. At least one lich of my likeness.
>>2168560Don't sweat it anon. They're puzzles meant to take a few attempts.
>>2168347imagine lying in the internet
>>2167461ur shit
>>2168400Lol, did they put Iratus as one of the necro heroes? Also, bat sexo.
>>2168560There are challenge missions? Where?
>>2168354Isn't Red route complete dogshit on Temple Might? 200% stronger Heroic Strike is still not gonna kill anything worth killing.>>2168391There is a different spell, I forget the name, in Arcane tier 3 which is specifically there for Necro to replenish their stacks on the cheap.>>2168400Minotaur, Son of Minotaur. I fucking love seeing something try to hit my Minotaur stack and explode for their trouble. Also one of the few cases where going for Ultimate/Subclass does not feel bad
>>2168400Sandro where?
>>2169121Wrong site shill
>>2169113tutorial
>>2167454Interesting putting in new mechanics like faction laws into the game and you can upgrade spells so you don't have to go deep on the skills to make good use of it on your hero, artstyle is disappointing I just want it to look more like HoMM 3 and less like this>>2169113Complete the first two tutorials and you will unlock them
>>2167454Took me a couple of tries with Temple but I have been able to beat one game in single hero mode and one regular game at 150% difficulty. It is pretty good so far! The addition of Laws to the game has added a lot more then I thought it would.I find it pretty funny how gold orientated the Castle Laws are. Castles is also tied with Dungeon for the most expensive Law at 6 Law points but Castle gets theirs at Tier 2 while dungeon gets theirs at Tier 5. The fact that you can build twice in your cities can be massive. Going from struggling to get through the early game into suddenly drowning in gold was quite the experience.>>2168400Currently my favorite hero is wanna be angel with her floating glowing halo. After that it is chesty nun and blue girl.
It's not 3 so it sucks. There's nothing to discuss )
the thing with homm3-diehards is that they will not be satisfied with anything that's not literally homm3. fundamentally they should be ignored, it's a market that doesn't actually exist.
>>2169816The thing with scammy devs is that they cry and moan how excited they are to return series to it's roots at every chance, but once audiecne they invited starts voicing it's opinion they switch into victim mode and now cry how toxic community is.
>>2169816/thread
How come your /vst/ mods let you have THREE heroes threads?
>>2169820he's true you know. also this is such an obvious shill thread. Whatever they're paying these public relation harpies it's far too much, they're abysmal as this.
>>2170924>Walkha, once obsessed with the Abyss, pushed himself to the brink through forbidden gooning rituals until the changes nearly consumed him. Forced to stop by the feds, he fixated on a new challenge - Hel'Ghat, the enigmatic transbian 764 cultist who left his parents' basement to forge a fortress in the frozen wastes. To others, Hel'Ghat merely tolerates Walkha, but their friendship runs deeper - each sees in the other a force they cannot control. Hel'Ghat is an unyielding wall, and Walkha, relentless as ever, refuses to turn away.
um guys?>There are no black heroes despite all the faggot heroes because asians won't buy shit with black characters and faggots are also racists, despite claiming not to be, in addition to being shit eating sodomites.Great work Tim Bender and Denis Federov, this Hooded Horse/Ubisoft/Unfrozen clusterfuck is going places. I think it's time to do YET ANOTHER REDESIGN before I tip off gaming journalists because you know they love this shit.That is all
>>2168400This looks horrible.
>>2171210cum play with my kittendildo uwu
>>2167871They need to improve readability of everything, but otherwise it's fine actually
>>2168560The only thing that gave me trouble is the magic, where you have to hit 3 queen stacks with fireball every time or you don't have enough mp to finish the fight, had to retry like 5 times. Thankfully AI doesn't spread too much on purpose, but it does try to stay near the middle to be able to cut off you kiting.The retreat and pathfinding missions were neat and good to remember, advanced combat was piss easy, it's just use your 1 unit stacks right.
All template names from game files.Someone made 8 player map templates, apparently there's more shit you can do than what's in the demo maps.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JQ6dyjZ8Ub6zbgM3kr_J2MOHy3PpkkZOhttps://steamcommunity.com/app/3105440/discussions/0/596288191849628625

You know what. Game is winning me over. It is pretty good!
>>2171853Oh did you just remember you posted this ad here? There is nothing compelling about what you posted. Especially not the LoL font.In short, kys shill
I have never seen game with a worse art directionand I thought I have seen all with homm5 having wow art
>>2168400All of it looks too soulless
https://steamcommunity.com/app/3105440/discussions/0/596288556263272097/>Is this tactical strategy?>Is this fantasy setting about epic tactical strategy or fantasy setting of something similar to "Morning glory milking farm"? >There are 2 distinct audiences that do not intersect.>Heroes 3 was epic tactical strategy created by 100% male creators. Was original direction of epic strategy changed to something else?Don't look up "Morning Glory Milking Farm" because I'm sure someone at Unfrozen has read it
>>2171901games used to be good when women werent employed to make them
>>2171901
>>2167454I enjoyed the demo for what it was, but it doesn't control as snappy as HoMM3, the graphics are harder to read which makes picking up items harder, and for some reason the knights twirl their swords like gymnasts with a ribbon baton. I mean I'd still play it if I ever get sick of HoMM3. I'm not bitching about it. It might actually end up being an okay game.
ad this ad thatwhat's your favorite game again? some slop no one cares about in /vst/? got it
>>2168400dibs on hydra medusa waifuthough I'm disappointed to not see any familiar names from homm3.
>>2167454It's okay I guess? I like the addition of laws but the UI is absolute dogshit while the graphics and artstyle are straight out of a generic mobile freemium game. Overall the whole "return to form" thing is mostly bait, while it's not bad per say it just doesn't do anything as good or better than the og games and I mean of course it's like this, the only game these devs have made before was a mediocre darkest dungeon clone. Solid 6/10 On another note lmao these guys are trying to get mandaloregaming to shill their game by adding him into the game
>>2172592>trying to get mandaloregaming to shill their gameits kinda odd given that mandalore works for hooded horse so at best it'll be included in a "what we are publishing" video but nothing more
I wish there was some mechanic that made it less viable to pile all your troops on a single hero.
>>2167454It's not going to beat HoMM 3 for me, but there are some things I like so farThe shading they have to make things look 2D works well, and I like that there's a reason to move archers up since they lose damage per hex instead of being a flat in-range/out-of-range check
awoooga
>>2172596Ubishit faggot shilling
>>2172635If anything, it's worse in HOE. The easy accessibility of distant interaction and travel spells makes it way easier to chain transfer all army.In H3 I would often leave like one t7 unit on secondary heroes to clear weak guards and fight off freshly hired enemy heroes with tavern army. Haven't found a reason to do it here, maybe on bigger maps with more players, the guards on 150-200% are too strong to fight without whole army.
>>2172762Town Portal was a mistake
https://www.gamesindustry.biz/three-ubisoft-former-execs-found-guilty-of-sexual-and-psychological-harassment-given-suspended-sentencesFormer Ubisoft execs Thomas François, Serge Hascoët, and Guillaume Patrux have been given suspended prison sentences for sexual and psychological harassment.As reported by The Guardian, the trial – which began in June – saw an "overwhelming" amount of evidence of harassment against Ubisoft employees from the three former executives.During the trial, employees described the company's offices in Montreuil, Paris as being run "with a toxic culture of bullying and sexism".François, former vice president of editorial and creative services, received a three-year suspended sentence and fined €30,000 for sexual harassment, psychological harassment, and "an attempted sexual assault". He left Ubisoft in August 2020 following allegations of sexual misconduct.Former CCO Hascoët was found guilty of psychological harassment and "complicity in sexual harassment". He was given an 18-month suspended sentence and fined €45,000. Hascoët, who oversaw Ubisoft's editorial team, resigned in July 2020 following a number of accusations.Former game designer Patrux received a 12-month suspended sentence and fined €10,000 for psychological harassment.As reported by France24, lawyer for the civil parties affected Maude Beckers described the ruling as "a very good decision today, and for the future"."For all companies, it means that when there is toxic management, managers must be held accountable and employers can no longer let it slide."François, Hascoët, and Patrux were arrested by French police in 2023 – along with two other employees – following a year-long investigation. All three former executives denied the charges.

What is everyones thoughts on the strongest T7 unit in the game? I thought it was dragons at first but being able to make angels literally unkillable now has me thinking it angels.
>>2172947The game is unplayable AI trash go fuck yourself shill

Incredibly pointless game. If I wanted to play HOMM3 I'd just play HOMM3.
>>2172976its a mix of 3, 4 and 5 tho
how do I play necropolis? I just seem to be running around face tanking everything
>>2172977we have 3 4 and 5 at home and theres zero homosexual content in them
>>2172979Get arcane magic and liches
>>2172980there's also zero eceleb inserts
>>2172959Yeah, temples tier- 6 unit is a weird choice. They are super tanky and I am thinking of make them my main stack in another game Imma bout to run. The horsemen also feel both frail and don't hit nearly hard enough to make them worth it. I just skip them entirely desu. I would rather get the range caster upgrade for damage and angels.
>>2172989>>2172959Temple fixes:>inquisitors should be removed>cavalry to tier 6>griffins to tier 5 with inquisitor's attack negation added to complement unlimited retaliations>a Long Reach pikeman added as tier 3>completely rework the useless faction ability, having your stacks die as requirement for any benefits is trash beyond 1stacking in very early game, meanwhile Dungeon gets free offense/defense/spellpower and focus points every combat turn (dont nerf that, its fun)
Every faction having like 3 shooters is kinda eh desu

>>2172762>>2172800>Town Portal was a mistakeApparently expert recruitment gives another spell that lets you transfer army to/from any town which is even more broken in combination with TP>>2173093Do you have a link? Not like you need temple for that, though upgraded crossbows do deal a lot of damage. Schism and and necro t1 shooters aren't great, but dungeon dancers and ambushers can do the same.
>>2173582https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1M84GzvEAM/
>>2173590>https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1M84GzvEAM/>114Nice, that's about what I expected. 2 castles and 2 external mews give exactly 73 crossbows on 1st week, so it must be 3 towns and external dwelling. Idk what template that is, does JC has 3 towns in spawn?
Does it say anywhere what my current level of communion is for a particular hero?
>>2173636right here
>>2173643thanksOn another note the summoning rite for schism is a non-fun mechanic. Needing to have the entire stack die means you're reloading battles again and again until the AI finally decides to attack the units that you want. Also need to be careful not to have your units counterattack-kill and win the battle. It's just tedious.
>>21734021. they look silly and in a bad way, covered in armor, with a huge damn book and a gigantic flail at the same time out at the same time (a decent fix for that with just animation change would be for them to hold the big flail in both hands and only take out and open the book for ability cast or idle animation)2. tier 6 is supposed to be impressive, but as above they look kinda dumb atm and are just a small dude walking around just like the swordsman3. they're called inquisitors, which doesnt really fit the super tanky slow melee unit that they are4. they hold the iconic cavalry from being tier 6>>2173401was thinking of homm2 walking knights desuin fact my other suggestion for fixing them is renaming them templars (or something similar), making them a bit bigger than usual humans and wielding a big twohanded sword, and again maybe taking out a holy symbol or book for ability cast and idle anim, kinda being a bridge between the normal humans of lower tiers and the gigantic angel on tier above
>>2173650WTF, also if the stack dies on a square but someone else moves on that square I can't revive it? FUCK MAN THAT'S SO RETARDED
>>2173650Easiest fix is making cultists able to commit sudoku.
>>2173655OH MY GOD and those retarded units keep getting low morale and skipping their turn RIGHT when I am ready to summon. And then the AI just kills itself on my counterattack, I've reloaded this shitty fight 10 times and still getting this shit.
>>2173650'Special abilities' that need you to lose a stack to gain benefits is usually trash desuEven then HoMM5 Inferno had the same summoning ability without requiring you to lose a stack first and it was still meh
>>2173659it's so retarded, I sacrifice 4 griffons and get 5 of those shits. And I need to reroll the fight 6 times to get it. Just let me cast the spell on enemy corpses too, if it's too OP all you need to do is reduce %ressurected
>Temple has a specific tech/law that boosts long reach damage>it is the only faction without a long reach unit
>>2173662I find it too tedious to use too, but creating army from enemy corpses is just another form of necromancy and the % on that would be equally minuscule.It's not usually a problem to sacrifice troops from secondary castles when it's unupgraded t1-2, you'll just have to fight something that doesn't have enough speed to reach your mains. AI plans for at least 2 turns ahead, as long as it can't reach other targets within 2 turns, it won't ignore hitting the only stack in range.But it wold definitely be easier if the ability would straight let you kill your own stack for that.
Is this a UI bug or a legit bug? Says I have 0/5 in Unfanthomable but 3 of my skills give unfanthomable points. Just so I know whether I'm wasting my time here.
>>2173674it requires max level skills
>>2173654>4. they hold the iconic cavalry from being tier 6holy weapon master on foot belongs above some dork on a horse, it's much more iconic
>>2167454Based game by based devs. H3 + H5 + Russian devs = autowin gg no re.LMAO @ this one cuck faggot that got shat upon in the last thread and then moved to this one hoping to sway anyone with his butthurt russophobic schizo ramblings.
Fights against neutral mobs are too monotonous and fights against enemy heroes are too uncommon. They should make it possible for mobs to occasionally be commanded by a neutral hero to spice things up.
Aren't Inquisitors actually nuns since their upgrade is called Mother Superior?

i just found out if you lower the enemy defence to 20 or below you do negative damage (you actually deal only 1 but the game comes up with funny numbers)

aaaand we're done with the latest playthrough. Kept changing factions and increasing difficulty after every win, this one was Schism at 175% difficulty. Some more thoughts:>as i've said before, the revive ability of schism is ANTI FUN. It's basically a trap to make you think it is important and will make you reload battles over and over and over again until the AI decides to kill the stack that you want it to. All for a measly +5 units which - yes - it is useful in early at higher difficulties but is NOT worth wasint 15 mins on reloads for>the communion mechanic is FUN. It sounds like a waste because you lose 1/2 of points every turn, but it is in fact very useful for snowballing early-to-mid game as stacks are close to eachother and you can just keep getting stronger. It also has the +10%dmg done -10%dmg taken on native terrain, which is AMAZING once you take the law that makes all terain native>I have finally gone for my first ultimate skill unlock (ignored it in previosu runs). It is definitely powerful but desu by the time I got it the AI was so far behind it didn't matter. Although the fact that RNG can BULLSHIT you out of getting all 5 skills is retarded; I basically got lucky and had 2 level up buildings and 1 of them gave me the skill I needed>Global AI is WEAK. Increasing the difficulty seems to just make it EVEN WEAKER as it can't handle the increased stack sizes. Battle AI is good though>First mirage fight i've had. It was cool, cheers to the guy who recommended going ranged only + twilight. Although my mirror kept casting dmg spells on me, wiping stacks, making me cast restore life to revive all of it back lmao>Armor sets providing bonuses is cool BUT there seem to be to many sets out there, you only get to stack an entire set by v late game IF you're lucky>OMG I've just now realized you can adjust animation speed in both global and fights.

>>2174291thanks>>2174287I like how goofy troglodyte movement is.
Honestly after playing a bit of HoMM5 today my opinion of this demo improved dramatically. HoMM5's style is basically kiddie cartoon with random low poly books. Hard to get immersed in that. It's also obnoxious to move around the map where you are spending half your game time. HOMM3 won't be dethroned but the new game demo already plays better than half the franchise.
>>2174418*boobs
>>2174418>starts talking about graphic>instantly jumps into gameplay with no argumentsOkay lol
The best and only good feature of homm6 was the copious amount of monstergirls
>>2174287In fact most non-human/elf creatures are pretty good, hydra and dragon variants are clearly recognisable and look pretty good, same with Griffin even if i dont particularly like the look of Temple Griffin, Guardian Griffin is a bit monotone but looks nice with the armor platesMost human designs look very similar between variants or just bad, with a lot of it having to do with the artstyle and small unit scale of the game itself

Why is the 1 month duel mode so hard? How am I supposed to beat 40 fucking vampires?
>>2174540personally, i find it too easy
>>2174540It was the easiest template of all on 150%. The zone before arena has a bunch of buildings that give you super angels with 400hp and Dragon utopia, you should be clearing that on week 3-4. When I got to arena week 4, AI didn't even have t7 or had very little. Maybe on easy/normal AI actually does better on that map, stronger guards seem to gimp it a lot.I should try it with different faction against necro, but I'm tempted to see if easy or normal actually makes it get to the treasure zones faster.

Alright lads, this has been my last playthrough for the time being. 22 hours in and finished 4 campaigns with all the races, increasing difficulty each time. Here are my latest thoughts for +200% difficulty Temple:>Is temple the weakest faction?Hard to say without PVP data. I have not felt a noticeable difficulty increase however. The strategy for Temple seems to be maxxing out on morale, daylight skill buffs and +% ranged damage. They have THREE long ranged units and ALL have laws increasing their growth and damage. Add to this a max-level blessing and maxx morale and you become a ranged powerhouse, 2 shotting everyone and decimating the enemy before his turn even begins due to high initiative (take the initiative law too). Weakening ray removes all counterattacks from all enemies at max level, meaning you are guaranteed to almost never lose any units against the NPC armies towards the mid-game. Take the upgraded units that give +stats on buffs (archangel, sun herald, sunspear etc). Max daylight + expert luck + expert morale = killing machine.Oh and btw, ascension and buff copy are useless to. I NEVER lost a stack through the entire playthrough and NEVER had to copy buffs as I always used the buff-all ones.>Is increasing difficulty making the game easier?Seems so. The AI in my 200% run was pretty much at the same unit stacks as the 150% one. The only difficulty for the player is the increased stack size in the early game, but you can bypass this with smart attacking choices, going for the easy fights, prioritizing getting your archer units etc. Resources are scarce for the first few weeks but once you get them going ++ upgraded ranged units you can start snowballing just as easily as on the other difficulties.>Is Master Skill worth it?FUCK NO. I needed only 2 more skills and had 4 slots empty but the RNG completely FUCKED ME OVER and I could only get 4/5. It also forces you to get useless shit like summon avatar to get there - IT IS A TRAP. AVOID.
>>2174815cont.>Are some skills badYes. Summon avatar is useless, AVOID. Ascension and all the all-stack-must-die mechanics (looking at you, schism) are shit. Tactics, diplomacy, siegecraft, thaumaturgy are all weak. Resistance is weaker too since you want to kill the enemy before he gets the chance to hit you back with spells, and the strongest spells are all buffs/nerfs anyways rather than pure damage. Economy, recuitment, scouting are ok to have on secondaty heroes if you can level them up for free with XP-giving buildings>What about items?As I said in my previous post, they need to reduce the number of sets a little bit, it's too saturated. Also the lower-level items must be improved, as of now there is not much of a reason to keep anything <legendary and you're better off destroying them for dust which is CRUCIAL for those early game upgraded units. So you jump off from early mid game with 1/2 ok items at most, everything else is dust, and once your units are strong enough you'll instantly jump to many legendary/epic items instead of gradually building up your inventory>Alchemical dustI am conflcited about it. On one hand it's cool that it makes getting higher tier units harder, but as I've described, if it means having to delete some items to get it (and you WILL do it since the upgraded units are so much more valuable) it becomes an anti-fun mechanic. You'll also be at the mercy of RNG, if you get lucky and get the buldings that generate it every week, or the one that lets you trade for dust you're good but if not you're fucked. So it also introduces multiplayer balance issues.>Are the graphics shitHonestly I'm starting to slowly warm up to them a little bit. Overhead map looks fine but the colors can really blend through in battles. Overall the color pallete between the factions should be more different to allow for clear differentiation>is the game FUN?Yes it is. It has great potential honestly. It has a lot of the things that gave homm3 SOVL

>>2174832sorry lad, too busy playing the game and providing feedback so I can enjoy it even more once it gets out of demo state ^)Btw have you checked the latest patch notes? The devs listened to my previous blogpost and moved the animation speed screen outside of the advanced submenu (which was retarded to begin with)@dev not sure why you wouldn't just put it in settings -> gameplay though. It feels out of place to have a setting option in the main escape screen, what does animation speed have to do with continue/save/load/restart/exit?@dev can you also make it more visible that you can scroll up/down on heroes and towns when you have more than the UI allows? That small scroll button isn't that visible. Also can you PLEASE make it so that, if I select for town X to recruit upgraded swordsmen version B, if I come back to that screen, or if I am in the upgrade army menu of that town, the chocie is defaulted to B? It is SO ANNOYING to have to keep selecting the right upgrade all the time and gets worse the more towns you have.
Can you post the link to patch notes? I can't find them anywhere.

>>2174815>>2174826>>2174838Based game enjoyer. Yeah, playing on 200% felt like a breeze. I think the adventure map AI is not behaving properly.Also agree that they should work on graphic fidelity. The style is fine with the exception of a couple designs (like the Schism town has 3 creatures with basically the same silhouette curved in almost the same way, which just makes them way too similar), but graphic fidelity should be improved dramatically in combat and in UI.>>2174846Based devs.
Is it just me or does AI ganks up on the player in the 4FFA map. I always get all 3 AI players sending their primary stacks at me at roughly the same time (and the 3rd one demolishing me)

>>2175324They can't figure out how to make 2 hex units lol
>>2175324>Big reason of trouble with unit readability is that they're so smolIt's not really that they are small, it's that they are WAY too detailed for their size. It's admirable that they are paying so much attention to unit designs, but the amount of details often just blends together into a blob of indiscernible pixels. Whoever is their designer that got carried away on overdesigning the units, he desperately needs to remember that the most important part of the unit design is to define, mark and work on one or two main signature graphical characteristics of a unit or an upgrade and make those stand out before all else. The Royal Griffin in H3 are SNOW WHITE FEATHERED, the Succubi Mistresses from H5 are ON FIRE, the H3's Zealots' faces SHINE from under the hood, the Halberdiers have a HUGE FUCKOFF HALBERD. And so on. Adding details is ok, but they have to give every unit and upgrade a very clearly discernible feature that will make them exceptional, special and stand out.

Ents, fire elementals, bird people, furries, demons, dryads, elves, ice lizardmen. What is this crap? What is this faction's identity? Their line-up of creatures is also a let-down. No dwarves, no elves, no halflings and the only humanoid monsters are fauns and weird ent-druids. What is this, a zoo?Anyway, Elder Tss'Kish is probably my favourite but I also like Eith, Mreowa and Aeliniel.

>>2176192Thanks for going through the effort. I like that there is a good amount of neutral units. It would be nice if they appeared as neutral stacks more often.
Never played this game before but I like the unique factions, What do I prio when building? Is it better to focus on a couple of units with upgrades or getting all the units first to maximize production?How many heroes should I have? Figured getting one asap for covering more ground but it feels like a waste getting more than 3 until I get more unit production/cities.How should I split units on average? The combat feels more like a puzzle to cheese than actual strategy so far.Are all the heroes gonna have a generic model? If so that sucks.
>>2176239Typically you want to have as many creature buildings as possible and an upgraded wall by the end of week 1. Then keep focusing on creatures until it looks like you can no longer fuel your economy by looting the map. At that point start building economic buildings. The standard strategy is to buy a secend hero immediately and focus all troops on your main hero, while using the other one to pick up unguarded items. Use the main hero for clearing guards, don't waste movement points on picking shit up.
>>2176187Its just Inferno but Zerg, literally SC2 Char
>>2176187>>2176189They look so generic
>>2176421t. why yes do i want my imp kerberos devil faction
>>2176460*i do want
>>2176283picking things up next to you doesn't cost movement
>>2176460yes
>desert is the designated neutral ground terrain>ice is the Schism terrainso no Tower or Academy i guess
>>2176518No, but moving around to do so does. You usually have to take several steps to reach everything a neutral mob was guarding. Removing movement cost from picking things up is a pleasant improvement over 3.
>>2176527The first faction they add post release should be barbarian themed. It is the biggest missing fantasy archetype.
>>2176226No problem, mate. I also appreciate the effort put into neutral units. I'm curious about the lack of elementals though.>>2176527I can easily see desert becoming other faction's terrain on full release.

One of them is literally just some generic fantasy """Reaver""" out of the fucking blue, which makes absolutely no sense, especially in how it looks almost exactly like the Mantis near him. They shoukld just replace this reaver bullshit with any god damn cool insect on this earth that doesn't look like the rest of the lineup and Hive would be quite fine.
>>2177420Hive also suffers from a scaling issue, where gnats look way too big and t5 and t6 look way too small.
>>2176716>faggotryElaborate, I've decided to avoid the game because it's funded by Russia oligarchs but now I'm interested.
>>2173109Masterful Chain Lightning sounds absolutely busted.
>>2173654Sadly they can not make Walking Knights because there is a Tier 4 Neutral called Dragonslayer that is just a foot knight with a two handed sword. Maybe swapping them around but at that point Temple would have lmao3swordsmen.
>>2177476They should just make all t7 take 2 hexes. Ti would greatly improve the unit readability.
>>2177513It does. Having it two full damage to the first and second targets would be a more balanced approach.
>>2177490>I've decided to avoid the game because it's funded by Russia oligarchsPlease be a real retard, holy fuck lmao
>>2177519Well, would be 2 swordsmen, cavalry has lances and angel has a spear, but repeating weapons is still why I wanted a spear/pike man somewhere in there, either replacing swordsman or as tier 3 after removing Inquisitor and reshuffling units, temple is also the only faction without Long Reach despite having a tech for long reach damage

Alright, I gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised with the quality of the game so far. Im not a big fan of the new age art style, but the game is fun. Looking forward to being able to play multiplayer with my brother's.Favourite faction so far is undead. I always go the skeleton bonus dude, Okonos or something, and upgrade into skeleton archers immediately and roll through the early game with ease. Once I get +2 damage with offence/night magic and +2 hp and +25% atk/def with recruitment the skeletons are unstoppable. I had just under 1000 by the end of week 3 last game.
The game will be popular and Ylwari will lead us to the golden era of snake girls.

Have these kinds of games always been about just building a giga stack of the same unit and then steam rolling? I like to have a varied amount of units in my army but I am feeling like this game doesn't really support that. Like if you tech up to angels or dragons or whatever, shouldn't you just use those things?

>>2179312Yes. Devs also promised that they will give a warning ahead of time if they ever choose to remove the demo.
>>2178634Yeah, you might be right. But I also like the guaranteed big stack of skellies right out of the gate with Okonos. I also like the +20%hp and the +1 initiative bonus a lot. I also agree the unit specialists feel much stronger too, but especially for the lower tiers. I like to go Johnson with temple and get the tier 1 crusaders on the first turn too. Split a few off into 1 stacks and upgrade them into the tankier version for some diversion and that Ascension buff and you can take great fights early on.
>>2178634the hydra specialist is cool, basically turns them into tier 6.5 unit buffing their already big hp pool and 1 speed is big for the slow fucks the starting 2 hydras buffed by her can do a lot of work on neutral stacks

>>2182364maybe siegecraft isn't so bad anymore
>>2183797Against players maybe. But after 3 or 4 games on 150-200% I was attacking walled city manually 1 or 2 times, where I cast earthquake and wipe remaining defenders before they get a turn.

>can only afford 1 week of advertising on 4chan>4chan causes your advertisers to suicidebased
How is the demo of this game? Is there a lot of content to play around with? I wanted to try the humans but from what I gather, every faction has a sort of "super unit" that you spam in order to win. When I like more combined forces. Like apparently humans have to spam angels? and that other race has to spam dragons or hydras?
>>2184296Are you a stupid fucking nigger? Just download the demo.
>>2184296You can't spam a single unit. Such a strategy is just outright unavailable in the way that you are thinking.
>>2184296>spam angelshave you ever played any homm game?
>>2184409No. This will be my first homm game. What can I expect?
>>2184416you can expect not to spam angels
>>2184416you can only build 1 of each unit dwellings in a town so you're going to recruit a bit of everything

>>2184519I actually like knights in games like this. Are they actually just ass?
>>2184296I used to think the best way to play is to maximize economy. Now I've learned the best way to play is to maximize getting good units fast so you can clear more of the map quickly.
>>2184635Honestly they have 3 knight units.Walking armored knight that sword slashes twice.Pious knight with book and flail that is so much stronger than it looks.Mounted knight that moves a lot and deals more damage the more it moves before attacking.
Haven't played HOMM since 5 came out, and that's the only one I've ever played but I want to play again, which HOMM should I play??
>>2184659only horsed soldiers are knights
>>21847693 is obviously a classic and 7 gets way more shit than it deserves. 4 gets less shit than it deserves. 2 is just 3 but worse.
>>2184773>only horsed soldiers are knights
I think I decided to replay 5, has anyone played this 5.5 mod? Is it any good?
>>2185144This is awful, do you have more?
>>2185158
>>2184773you can be a horsed soldier without being a knightyou can be a knight without a horse
>>2184659yeah the inquisitor looks dumb for what it is
Hmm haven't seen this before
>>2185263>you can be a knight without a horseWrong. This is about as retarded as women "patriarchs".
>>2184973I watched Lexiav play it. It has some really good QoL changes, but for my taste in comparison with vanilla TotE the skill system looks extremely distilled and HotA-fied, even with all the added subclasses. I can see myself trying it, but I doubt that I will enjoy it even nearly as much as the vanilla skill wheel with all the interconnected skills and perks. But it's still H5, so it likely feels good to play anyway.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLogwA6OotPgThTKBxjfIo4_kNOC1ytx_F
>>2184635>Are they actually just ass?Swordsmen are legit one of the best t1 units in the whole history of HoMM. Also actual knights are t5.

Are pigkrainians mad that this will be a better sequel to HoMM3 than Stolkor 2 Hort of Chornobol was to Stalker SOC?
>>2185493Are they in the same room with you right now?
When people say "This isn't HoMM" what exactly do they mean? What is this game missing that past ones had? I hear the HoMM games in general have been all over the place with mechanics but what makes a HoMM game a HoMM game? Like at its baseline, whats in the DNA of a HoMM game?
>>2185595It's missing Crag Hack
>>2185586Their widowed wives and orphaned daughters are, yes.
>>2185603Yellow house it is then
>>2185607>"Yellow house"Imagine exposing yourself like this, LMAO. Of course it's a subhuman pork that tries to ruin people's fun with his shitposting. Didn't think that such a hohol bitch like you would have time to shit up a HoMM thread on 4chan with your triggered butthurt between getting droned and getting busified.
>>2185621
Yeah i don't think human hands touched it
>>2185595>whats in the DNA of a HoMM game?SOVLthat's why everything past 5 is forgotten, and even 5 is stretching it
>>2185493rent free
>>2185636Get a load of this triggered pig, it is so retarded that id doesn't even realist how it got exposed, and now exposes its retardation even further by showing that it has no idea what an actual bot pattern looks like.
>>2185636There's 200-500 real players, the rest are "I'm so much smarter than the investors because they shouldn't have given me money in the first place" bots.Because it's far cheaper and easier to manufacture hype than develop a game
>>2185645
>>2185656Surreal cope. It's a really hard time to be a russophobic bitch in a HoMM thread. The whole last 2 decades opf Russians saving HoMM 3 times have been really hard for your subhuman bitch lot. It just keeps happening, and Russians keep delivering.And you absolutely fucking hate that it's the fact, bitch loser :^)
So why did oinkrake lose the war?
>>2185656My approximate estimates is that actual number is around the lower 3k mark and doesn't get above 5k while the initial all time release peak was only because someone like Lexiav was streaming it, servers being down two times were them setting up the bots
>>2185659You seem to be particularly upset with HotA's existence then if you are defending this ubislop
>>2185665>You seem to be particularly upset with HotA's existenceI just said Russians saved HoMM three times, retard: H5, HotA and now OE. Oh wait, please tell me you had no idea HotA is a Russian addon, retard. PLEASE BE THIS RETARDED, LMAO
>>2185665Unfrozen hates HotA but for the sake of the gay troll trying to bait engagement, they don't
>>2185676I think you might actually be retarded and not just FAS
>>2185684>>2185686Get a load of these triggered subhuman russophobic cucks, seething to no end because HoMM is basically a Russian franchise at this point.

>>2185928so is Olden Era. LMAO!
>>2186067>A fucking demo has more players than all of the Age of Wonders and Endless Legend/Space combined right now. Russophobic bitches just can't stop losing.
>>2185642>everything past 5 is forgotten4 is mostly forgotten too. In reality, out of all HoMM games only 2, 3 and 5 are genuinely loved by the absolute majority of players: very few people give a fuck about 1, 4 is only liked by a small sect of schizos, 6 was absolutely botched by ubiniggers in everything from town screens to forcefeeding players their ubinigger online dynasty system, 7 is just an underdeveloped mess with an eyesore UI second only in its shittiness to 4. And OE is quite fit to join those three loved ones: no ubinigger online shit, nice and readable UI, graphics are partially flawed, but are not goofy like in 1 and 4, the gameplay takes the best from 3 and 5, the town and unit composition is quite familiar, even the lore is fitting, and there's also no wectoid DEI garbage polluting the game.
>>2186097>wectoid DEI garbagego sit on your kittendildo faggot
>>2186101>Fag got triggeredGood. Squeal more, faggot, I like your impotent butthurt from not getting your way in our gaming industry.
In HoMM:Old Era, how do the factions differ? Or rather, what does each faction excel at?
>Spend 2 hours clicking on neutrals winning battles without any losses>Enemy army twice the size of yours appears and kills youI forgot how pointless and backwards this genre is. I enjoyed it as a kid, but fuck it's just aged so poorly. There's just no sense of how the game is going and then it's over. This is the same problem I had with all the other clones of the genre as well. Just pointless busywork and then 1 battle decides if you win the game or not.
>>2186134Temple gets an HP buff every time a friendly stack dies, Necropolis obviously has necromancy, Dungeon has battle stances that allow them to increase a desired basic stat on every turn, and Schism get temporary unit count boost in the beginning of every battle if they keep doing battles every day.Elves will get focus charges on every combat turn (these are mainly used for unit abilities), and Hive will get unit summoning similar to H5.
>>2186097>UI second only in its shittiness to 4.4 had great UI>OE ... nice and readable UIOk this actually has to be either a dev or a troll
>>2186139>Enemy army twice the size of yours appears and kills youI think they have some AI balancing issues right now, a lot of people say that the game on easier difficulties is absurdly harder than on max 200%. Idk, I only play on max difficulty since the times of H3 because I just don't like having arbitrary resource and gold bonus from the start.
>>2186146>4 had great UIOh, fuck off, clown.
>>2186148I mean it's most likely a skill issue on my part. I'm sure if you learn it well enough you can tell how well you're doing, but every time I play one of these games as an adult, it just makes me so mad. It feels like such a huge waste of time with nothing to show for it every time when it just ends so anti-climatically.
>>2186150I'm sure whatever the fuck you meant with this image made sense to you. You can fault 4 for many things, but ui is not one of them. It is compact, informative and has everything close together. Every button and icon has tooltips and can be right clicked to describe what is going in with it. Unlike a certain other game.
>>2186170>It is compact4fags truly are a sect of fucking schizos.
>>2186174dude, this is why I don't play super old games. Everything looks and feels like it aged like ass. I am 32 and would never play a game that looks like what you posted in that pic. However, I think I am more bothered by the fact that anything that looks old game wise probably has antiquated game mechanics as well. Which turns me off even more.
I did not like the models, graphics are weird and make the world look cluttered. Necropolis is not edgy enough, especially the heroes.
>>2186134>temple: buffs in general, buffs when allied stacks die (any stacks even single units)>necro: necromancy 'nuff said>dungeon: stances for extra attributes, all units have an alt attack usually for hitting multiple targets at once>schism: padded stacks (% extra units in stacks that die before real units die) and if stacks do die they can bring it back at 50% efficiency as another unit (basically demon farming)not touching laws but they can have pretty significant impact too (free marketplace rates for dungeon, double build for temple
>>2186150>>2186174You hate that... there's pretty empty space on the UI?I've really played IV fairly recently and the unfriendliest thing I can think of in connection to user experience is that the gog version with all addons has Spazzmaticus's addon music blaring in the main menu by default. Really hurries me up to try exit the main menu screen as fast as possible.>>2186178>4 >super old game>antiquated game mechanics in something that looks like 4
>>2184445>black female unitDropped... Any black unit is untolerable. Fucking joke game, who are they trying to appeal to? Shaniqua from the dmv won't spend her free time playing this shit... 90% of the potential playersbase is nostalgic slavshit middle aged men. Playing this shit game is humiliation ritual.

>>2186139Skill issue, unironically. I regularly beat cataclysm difficulty and have only ever met an army that matched mine in numbers (not even exceeded my numbers) 2-3 times on jebus cross.>>2186148nah. I tried an easy difficulty map just to see if there was a bug and....the enemy endgame army was 1/4 my army's size. I think people are just lying for some reason.

>>2186689more like not so secretly jewish
>>2186291>prettyIt makes the eyes bleed. Not only it's an ugly eyesore in itself, but it's also all over the place, as if they had a couple ideas and then just threw it all together with zero thought and care, disregarding any stylistic choices, space optimisation, patterns, everything. Which is very likely precisely what happened, knowing how this sorry fuckup of a game was developed.
>>2186657It might depend on a template. Maybe AI just doesn't know how to play some templates properly. I refuse to believe that it's normal that on 200% difficulty I absolutely mop the floor with AI while playing completely casually, while AI never even attempts to threaten me or even my region of the map. They will definitely be doing some fine tuning on the difficulties before release.
>>2186090>Demo has more players then Homm3HD
>>2187216It's kind of sad that HoMM3HD has any players.
>>2187220You underestimate the simplemindedness of normies. Going to gog and getting the Complete plus HD mod is already too complicated for them, they just type "heroes 3" in google and click the first link.
>>2187257I wouldn't blame them on this one. There is no reason to assume that some other platform has a better version of the game than steam and the HD version claims to be the old game with better graphics.

A lament for the franchise overseen by poorly dressed retards before the Chinese take control of the IP once and for all: If you think this lore sucks, wait until you see it on Cambodian cell phones in 2028.

>>2190910no lie detected
>>2192190>gets oneshotLevel spellpower, clown.
>>2192209is this supposed to be impressive? when you're at the stage of the game to run around with stats like this he'll probably get one shot even by a ranged stack's melee counter
>>2192209With 20-40-20 stats, you should have an army where each stack can oneshot that. Maybe it's alright with if you no army or other spells, but otherwise not worth the skill or spec that does nothing without eating one of your casts and mana each fight.
I liked it but it just doesn't feel as tight as Homm3
Temple has shit faction skill Dungeon is funNecros just gigaraise skeleton archers to winSchism is, eh, idk

>>2192904ok that's fine. what caused spells to be locked thought? is there an artifact the enemy may have that blocks spells for both players in round 1? I haven't seen such an artifact yet, but I guess something like that may exist
>>2192955It's probably this
>>2192982aye, that must be it.
People keep playing up Schism and Necro, but Temple's start feels way better on 150%
is this decent for jebus outcast 211?
pretty boring that web and twilight and the likes exists, turns many neutral battles into a slow grind with ranged attacks where you end up taking no damage because the enemy never gets the chance to attack
>>2192602Clueless and triggered retard.>>2192621>you should have an armyLol. Good luck having an army that can "0neshot" a 92 attack 47 defence 1.8k hp summon with enough initiative to make a turn right after summoning. The way you're impressed by 20-40-20 stats tells me you're clueless and likely only ever used Avatar on a might hero.>>2192738>Temple has shit faction skillIt has its uses, but yeah, it's turbomeh compared to H5's Heaven faction skill.
>>2193582And fanatical H3 fags would say that it's boring that there's no mass slow. You can never satisfy everyone.
>>2193584the attack stat doesn't matter in this question
>>2193601Yes it does, because its initiative upon summon allows it to immediately #rekt any enemy stack.

shill thread
Still hoping for some kind of Fortress faction. Cthulhu does not scratch the Hydra itch.
>>2194843>dragon fly-like in hive>hydra in dungeon>dungeon heroes ride what looks like a gorgondunno, half of the roster is already spread among other factions, so it seems unlikely. Not that I wouldn't want Fortress too, but the odds feel way against it for me taste, especially considering how it got turned into the dwarf faction since Ubisoft got the IP
>>2194843Yeah, it feels really bad, but apparently the swamp faction is not really as popular and ion demand in fantasy as we'd like. Which is sad, because I dig this aesthetic not only from H3's Fortress, but also from Ian Irvine's Geomancer.
>>2194988I did like the H5 Fortress at least. Lava Dragon and Runes were fun.
>>2193474The hell is that cosmic purple lady and walking flower? I've never seen these units before.
>>2195765summons
>>2194843There is a lizardmen town on Jadame in M&M8. In fact you start the game there. So there's already a presence in favor of Fortress-like town, although OE devs don't appear to care that much about making things fit with M&M8's representation of Jadame, so who knows. I can tell you once, I'm 100% certain we'll get Stronghold-like city in expansion. With the barbarian town appearing in every game of the series, the lack of ogres and trolls among neutral units and the lack of town favoring desert terrain it's obvious.
>>2195957The only thing I really miss from the old Fortress are Mighty Gorgons, the easy access Wyverns, and its theme song. Everything else was pretty ass, especially the Lizard archers
>>2195978The dragonflies, noob.
>>2195978Wystan disapproves of your archer hatred.
Holy shit, I love medusas. No range penalty, lowering enemy initiative on hit, free aoe special attack, high initiative after you invest in their law, what's not to like?
>>2197727I really love slither away ability.
>>2197727>what's not to like?lack of magic immunity or magic damage immunity
>>2197762Yeah, it's pretty useful when they get blocked by melee unit. I think medusas queens are the way to go instead of medusas sculptors. I don't know why I would want to choose the upgrade that mostly makes the ranged unit better at melee, although the constant 18 dmg is nice. Same thing with t3 dancers, why would I pick the upgrade that focused on melee instead of range? Not to mention that Dungeon already have pretty great melee units like minotaurs that counterattack first when attacked or teleporting around assassins that take away counterattack from units they hit. Overall Dungeon is definitely my favorite faction here.
>>2197857>why would I pick the upgrade that focused on melee instead of range?because you literally quadruple their melee damage (remove the -50% penalty then double the damage) They become glass cannon melee troops that hit like a fucking truck while still having an option to do ranged if needed
>>2197944I checked and they don't have duelist tag so they still have melee penalty, but that feels like oversight. Why would the devs only give them 2x melee damage? That's basically the same.
>>2198042they don't have duelist but they still do 2x damage in melee than they do from 1 hex away in rangedthe double melee damage seems to override the need for it
>>2197944And the other upgrade only bumps up the indicative from 5 to 8. So it between having them do damage before opponent turn or having them work as melee unit once opponent's units comes in close enough.

why are griffins so bad
>>2200078They're? I didn't notice. I'm more puzzled there is no hero who specializes in them.
>>2200078infinite counter-attack can be a bit of fun with the battlecraft overwatch skill and the +50% counter damage from temple laws
>>2200120they're too squishy for a unit centered around counterattacks desu, by midgame they're just worse cavalry (with flying)
>>2200078it's a heroes of might and magic game
>>2200169if you capture a necropolis town you can use the undead transformer to turn all your cavalry into sanguine lichs to revive fallen griffins
how to fix temple:>replace inquisitors with tier 5 or 6 paladins/walking knights>merge griffins and cavalry into tier 5 or 6 griffin riders>add tier 3 long reach spearman >completely rework the faction skill
>>2200580isn't inquisitor basically a walking knight already? Same with the tier 1 swordsman
>>2200580temple are also kinda boring due to all their active abilities being stat boosts (and I guess it's designed that way so that all active abilities can buff angels through their passive ability)
>>2200600yeah but they look goofy and dumb as they are, and 'inquisitor' doesn't sound like a slow walking tank unit.and in fact yes they look too much like tier 1 unit being just a small dude walking slowly around, make them big homm2-like templar knights, with huge twohanded sword, cool cape and being noticably bigger than regular humans and they'd automatically be better even without changing stats
>>2200580>replace inquisitors with tier 5 or 6 paladins/walking knightsRename inquisitor to Paladin and they've fixed it
>>2200678they still look too much like tier 1 unit from the same faction and not impressive enough for tier 6 unit slot
>>2200580Temple is good though.>by far the strongest and most durable T1>can have 40+ T2 units with no range penalty right at the beginning, making creeping way easier>T4 is a solid shooter, though not the best unit in her tier>T6 is ridiculously tanky and comes with utility>T7 is a 300 hp 40 defense shooter that takes all powerful single target buffs for itself, including those from abilities like Marksman's +40% ranged damage>faction skill gives you +% hp and a free heal all for sacrificing a single 1stack to eat a retaliation, great for early creeping or pushing later without a 7 unit armyTemple's start is way more fun than Schism's
>>2167454https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUZqAmLJRNI
>>2200580>replace inquisitorsLol, no. Inquisitors are great, especially within the context of the human faction on this continent: literal fanatical cultists. I just wish it was less of a "D"3 Crusader, and more of a HoMM5's monk with a cross and a club.Faction skill is pretty boring though, yes.
>>2201473You know, I wouldn't mind if they would for once decrees the holy aspect of Castle. Like not always we have to have angels as t7 and every upgrade be all glowing white.
>>2201757I don't really like the lightweavers—except for their sun herald upgrade—because with their tinder whore outfit they don't really fit into the high fantasy medieval aesthetic of other units. But other than that Temple's line-up feels fine, and definitely not overly-glowing with holiness.
>>2201757The angels in this game are fakes that temple manufactures to cope with the fact that the real ones abandoned them.
>>2202267This lore is way cooler than the retarded space alien androids that M&M fags keep insisting the Angels from HoMM3 are.
>>2201473They look very similar to h5 priests, just too tiny and unimposing on the battlefield. They are supposed to be high priests of the sun, could use some light magic effects or sun symbols at least.Funny enough H5 priests had to lose the book to look less like it's straight from Warhammer, but now it's back.
They could be purging dark elves with god rays and hammers, just replace crosses with a sun.
>>2202334Yeah, the posture isn't imposing enough, and the outfit is more knightly than priestly. I also don't really like the open book offhand, it reeks of "D"3. It would've been better if the book was hanging on a chain from her waist and she would only open it for casting, kinda like mages do with their scrolls in HoMM5.>>2202344If you're going to post weebshit, at least post something good.Huge dude - check, huge hammer - check, hunts unholy filth - check.
>>2200688>Temple's start is way more fun than Schism'sschism start's only saving grace is that you can pick the grasp hero and just spell spam your way through everything+2 knowledge is god tier week 1 (even like day 2 or day 3) and better than anything else you can do unless you can get succ/arbitrator/envoy dwellings
>>2203157Schism start sucks because AI refuses to kill cultists thus denying you creature farming.
>>2203199cultists would be trash for creature farming anywaythe farm only cares about HP of the stack and cultists have terrible bulk for the costthe farm isn't worth it until you have a spell to finish off your own stacksit also isn't worth to farm t1's, both t4 and t7 are both way more impactful
>>2203211Cultists are the only ones worth sacrificing, because unlike them the rest of the lineup is actually useful.
>>2203288I don't find anything from low tiers useful once you have arbitrators and concubines. Well besides using biggest stack of meat to deal additional damage or tank, communion makes it optimal to use the biggest stack to tank damage with free units, which is usually jellies or cultists who get targeted first. But the real problem is always making the enemy finish your stack instead of leaving few units and then ignoring it.
>>2203539>But the real problem is always making the enemy finish your stack instead of leaving few units and then ignoring it.Well yeah, precisely my point. I appreciate the existence of mechanics that at least partially fuck up the tired meta bullshit of using 1s and walling off your ranged, but the way AI just refuses to finish the Schism stacks is just asshole.
