Olden Era is good!

UBISOFT IS GUILTY OF A NUMBER OF CRIMES:
1. Unfrozen child groomer and draft dodger Denis Fedorov gets his hentai OCs "canonized" before Ubisoft sells this shit to Hooded Horse for a kickback, so Hooded Horse cuck CEO Tim Bender and his CCP bug hotwife can fully pivot to CCP funded gacha data farming the Asian market. I hope you like all your Heroes to be anime school girls. Sorry Slavs your time is done.
2. Hooded Horse is running a shitty gaslight (aka lying) campaign to get discord troons to buy this shit. See: the cat thing with the dildo on its forehead. Kittendildo, soon to be a Funko Pop exclusive Q1 2026!
3. They are also begging you to call them faggots so they can blame this controlled demolition of the Might and Magic IP all on TOXIC COMMUNITY, in fact they already have. They are also literally shit eating faggots.
4. Unfrozen is not a studio, it's an agglomeration of disposable temps. Unfrozen CEO Denis Federov should be dying in Ukraine for Russia instead of commissioning tentacle rape porn OCs in troon color schemes.
5. Ubisoft never changes even if their fist is up Hooded Horse's ass for now. If you aren't old enough to understand how awful Ubisoft is, then you were probably molested by their employees on various discord servers. If you find yourself defending Ubisoft without financial compensation, please seek professional help immediately.

ah our local discord schizophrenic

>>723246545 (OP)
will there also be a campaign?
I only tried the ea a bit to see if I like it but I wont bother playing a beta instead of the finished game

>>723247150
When you exit a game in the demo it literally tells you the answer to your question.

>>723247150
yes there will be a campiagn when game releases .

Wow people want to discuss the game on V. Must be a shill......

>spamming the thread over and over
how much do you get paid for it?

>>723247150
Yes, it's about gays being oppressed by the evil Sun Temple when they said they weren't allowed to DM 12 year olds on Discord anymore. In the second campaign, you and your transitioning boyfriend have to arrange a secret assassination of a fundraiser/commander for the evil Sun Temple and successfully escape to the northern maple forest afterwards. In the third campaign you discover the freaks shoving tenacles in all their holes are just misunderstood good guys oppressed by the evil Sun Temple. In the fourth campaign you have a ketamine induced minotaur bug orgy like Matrix: Reloaded before defeating the evil Sun Temple once and for all.

Does the playtest version have same bugs as the public demo?
The biggest that comes to mind is the necro dog upgades having wrong army icons.

I tried one of the skirmish maps and one of my town got captured out of the blue. It's as if the enemy used dimension door but I didn't see their turn.

>>723248982
Modern fantasy design is so bad. It's no longer based in reality. It's like human driven AI slop, design taken and regurgitated so many times that most modern artists couldn't tell you why they drew a certain piece of armor or equipment because it's just based on their favorite LoL design, which was based on the artists favorite WoW design, which was based on the artists favorite Warhammer design, etc. Leads to over-engineered garbage designs without a readable silhouette which is even more important when a lot of the units are going to be on screen at once.

You fags got over Heroes 5 looking like WoW and now you suck its dick, you'll get over this one in 5-10 years too.

So for upgrade units I need to get some resources that I can get only from destroying artifacts or randomly find it on map?
It also used for upgrade spell and artifacts?

I don't like it. I can stomach this for artifact and spell upgrade but units!?

>>723250026

Should they add any sort of quest generation in Map Editor?
Would be cool to press a button, get a random filled out map with quests, and then go in and manually change some stuff to polish it.

>>723250026
You don't need more than one city that can upgrade units if you're smart about troop logistics and have map spells. I think it's fine. It forces you to consider what troops you want to upgrade early. Also the maps tend to have way too many low level artifacts and spell scrolls for exactly this purpose. And there is a chance for Alchemist Labs (dust per day) or Alchemist Stashes (one batch of dust per week.) to spawn. If you don't have enough you're hanging onto useless artifacts, not using the artifact merchant, not exploring enough, upgrading too many cities or some combination of these.

Hooded Horse exists so Ubisoft can sell in Russia. LMFAO.

Because there is no accounting for taste. Technical fidelity is independent from artistic ability and vision, it's just that in video games artistry depends on technical fidelity to some extent so people assume that's all that matters. Things like color choice or composition have nothing to do with technology.

>>723252347
There's no fixing the primary issue without redesigning most of the unit models. They cluttered tiny models with details. They have a lack of contrast and worse many share similar silhouettes. The Hive and Schism are especially bad with this. When all the units are near each other on the battlefield it just looks like a mess of tentacles or bug carapace-spikes. You can't "iron that out", it's a core problem with the game's visual design.

>>723253660
Remember when they claimed the unit models were an Ubisoft directive before they delayed it the first time? Wonder what they'd say now.

>>723253859
No I don't remember that and I don't care. You're a faggot.

It's really unfortunate that they couldn't find good character and UI artists because the gameplay improvements are all really solid ideas at most needing some tuning.

>>723253660
i just looked at some screens from h6 and h5 since those also use 3d graphics and it seems the units are way brighter and have more saturated colors even tho some of them are also kinda hard to tell apart, but it still makes it easier while playing

They are all like this. Pretty much every UI/UX guy comes from non-artistic background, either dedicated university or a coder They mostly work and take inspiration from web or phone development. Chances you find an actual artist who is also doing UI are quite slim. Many of them don't even know how to draw.

Best graphics, best soundtrack, best artstyle. Shame about some gameplay mechanics and choices (hell and death being lumped together, no upgradable units, and being forced to choose T2, T3, and T4 units).
I played so much of HoMM IV back in the day. My friend and i played it together on the same pc. Excellent game. Shame it age a bit. GOG has a good version though, so its alright.

My biggest problem with 4, which I've played for hundreds of hours, is that the heroes on battlefield are too OP, I'm wondering why you didn't mention that since it's always the first thing that comes to my mind above all else

>I'm sure I pressed the revive spell, instead it uses some other buff spell I can't remember the name of.

You probably confused Healing Water (cure spell) with Rewind Time (resurrection spell). Happened to me too. Why the fuck did they have to rename fucking everything just so they can have more bling names, part of the charm of HOMM3 was that all the designs and content were simple.

Also the spell book resets pages every time you open it, but remembers any of the magic school filters you put on. So if you only use lvl 3 or 4 spells you have to keep switching pages every time.

>>723257121
Because being able to actually use heroes on the battlefield is the best shit ever. Yes, they are OP, IF you play them right, and that is what is most satisfying. It may be YOUR biggest problem, but for me, its the best feature. As for forgetting to mention that - skipped my mind, because its not an issue for me.
>>723257115
Yup.

>>723257036
>no upgradable units,
Meanwhile no.game in the series has ever come close to solving the map creature dwelling issue when it comes to upgraded units. It always ends up in annoying busywork

What the fuck do the curses do?
Is it the week start effect?

>>723256390
>Is this supposed to work like pit lord farming?
Yes.
Schism is literally demon farming the faction.
First you kill a stack of units.
Then you divide the total health in the pile by 2 (to get the 50%)
Then you divide that number by 10/50/250 (your three "demons") and you get the total amount of "demons" you can summon top limit being the amount of units that are doing the summoning.
For example for singular Abyssal (250hp) you need have sac a stack of 50 Ra'soths (10 health)

I wish H4 had a fully realized budget

>>723257514
Curses are actually good
Blessings are actually bad
Because this is LGBT demonic inversion world
Think of all the tentacle porn you're going to be forced to read in the Schism campaign. Or just don't buy it because every single venue does not need to be a gay bar.

So the reason why there's still so many fags playing heroes 3 is they made a remaster?

>>723257746
some influencer told them it wasn't pozzed and pozzing Warhammer has gotten pretty boring. 2025 been a bad year for them.

>>723257457
Oh god yeah that's so fucking annoying.
Map dwellings are still useful for boosting your weekly growth though. I got something like +12 vampires every week.

Also OE has it so the recruits stack every week, ie. if you don't visit the dwelling for 5 weeks, it'll have 5x the units to recruit. You still need an extra hero to just run around gathering shit but at least you can't miss out on any units now.

Imagine living the philosophy "ruin as much as you can before you kill yourself because there is no God"
Then bringing it to a niche strategy franchise

I guess I'll pirate it to play through the campaigns when it releases. Not giving money no anything ubishit-adjacent

>>723258060
>Not giving money no anything ubishit-adjacent
ANYBODY NOT SAYING THIS DOES NOT BELONG HERE

How is 1 hero mode? Does the AI actually amass a large army now since they can't fuck around doing random shit?

>>723257680
>all the tentacle porn you're going to be forced to read in the Schism campaign
Prompted - with AI - lovingly.

Wait, so Schism heroes' unique skill is like Necromancy, but it activates BEFORE the battle?

>>723258582
Yeah, it gives bonus units til the end of battle

>>723258354
Played it 2 times. First time AI was similar to me a bit more stuff. Second time it barely did anything and had like half my army.
Should be fun in-between bigger maps, very plug and play.

Heroes Olden Era edition coming Q1 2026

>>723247470
That's a big bug? Wights in H3 have had the same bug for forever and nobody cared.

>>723257393
No, it was night shade that was cast instead of rewind. Most likely I'm retarded, as that would be a stupid bug. But it happened 2 or 3 times already that I wanted to revive units in a stack and instead buffed it.
And yes, the spell names are really bad. I also find most spells to be very situational. And why is there only one mass slow+mass haste spell and it's tier 5? Makes magic immediately worse.

>>723249014
It happened to me too. I think it's the portal bug anon mentioned here >>723248485

>>723259148
The big bugs in the demo are things like fog of war randomly disappearing or your town getting permanently stuck as if you've already built this turn except it never goes away.

>>723260041
>>723259820
Sounds kinda cool if they HAD to come up with a new faction. Lack of Tower does suck, though. Did Inferno make it in?

>>723260254
Inferno is in the playtest but not the demo. You can fight their units as neutral stacks. They are bugs now.

>>723260254
inferno is bugs

>>723259207
>And why is there only one mass slow+mass haste spell and it's tier 5?

You can do mass slow/haste/berserk but it requires you to get the spell to Masterful level. Some heroes who specialise in spells will usually be able to do Masterful tier, you can also get to that level using rare spell scrolls, and there's an artifact that unlocks every masterful spell.
Haste and Web (slow) affect every unit on Masterful. Berserk affects one adjacent hex, so a 7-hex circle area. I forgot what the rest of the spells were on masterful mode.

Yeah, they nerfed magic a fuck ton, the most useful ones I found were Doreans Tide (+1 speed/incentive to all your units, -1 for all enemies), Chain Lightning (kind of weak but useful), Judgement (lvl 5 attack spell), Cave-In (decent attack + blocks enemy movement for a turn, unless they can fly), Shadow Army (boosts unit count by up to 2x), the Hskskgskhhhhhhchk's fury thing (the Frenzy replacement, makes you do double attack and 25% extra damage but take 25% extra damage too), Black Hole (Inferno-sized attack, but with decent damage and it "sucks" in units to the center).
There are a couple of other cool buffs like the one that gives 25% extra HP to all your units, Mirror Copy (a nerfed Clone), Twilight (aka Forgetfulness, ranged units can only melee), and probably some others I forgot (I recall there was something like a +10 for some attribute on all units).

The shorten/enlarge Shadows are also decent buffs/debuffs but a +2/-2 is fuck all in late game.

>>723260254

Oh, didn't even know that was a thing. I assumed masterful level means level 4 or whatever.

So far, I only really like twilight, radiant armor and heavenly blades, doreans tide and blessing.
Haven't tried many damaging spells, but most seem meh, which makes primal a bit shitty.
There's also so many useless trap spells.
But what I really don't like in terms of balancing, is that lower tier spells only get useful when they're high level, by with point you've already unlocked better spells.

>>723261229
Yeah, Blessing is great, but doesn't work on undead. Heavenly Blades is the one that gives you +100 damage + healing, right? That one doesn't work with undead either. Radiant Armor is the -25% damage, that's useful too, but not a game changer.

Spell levels basically equivalent of what you'd get with the magic school skills in HOMM3. There you'd have the spell, the spell with Basic spell skill (for ex. Basic Earth Magic), then with Advanced, and with Expert. Except there Basic just reduced mana cost. Here every single tier has something different, and the magic school skills are combined with Wisdom, so you NEED the skills to even be able to learn spells. They don't even give you extra spell levels unless you get a sub-skill that does the same. It's better and much worse at the same time.

>>723261929

that's Masterful Berserk, you can get it from spell scrolls, or from one item that unlocks all Masterful spells.
It still sucks unfortunately because it has a small aura and a huge damage debuff for the berserked unit. It's more of an annoyance than a game changer. Only really useful if you cast it on a Hydra.

>Spell levels basically equivalent of what you'd get with the magic school skills in HOMM3.
Yes, but in homm3 you'd just need expert magic to cast mass haste for example. Here, 3 levels in a magic school gives you +1 to spell level if you pick the subskill. So it's slower for magic to become really impactful, because by the time you're at level 3 or 4, you've unlocked tier 4 or 5 spells anyway.

Well if you played Heroes 3 competitively then you kind of deserve it. The game is super fucking unbalanced and that's kind of what makes it super fun. There are videos where people use something like 1 Titan to beat 4000 enemy units using, I don't remember, Force Field and maybe expert berserk.

Like how conveniently you can pick how to resolve each battle (manually, autoresolve, autoresolve without using spell points), as well as retrying the battles if you don't like the outcome

You control the graphics options you keep on

>>723265376
That's exactly what QoL is. Also, you can instantly redo the battle after you play it out with a click of a button, instead of having to load the game like you do in HotA.
Bring in a lot of changes like that on top of gameplay fixes and HotA starts feeling bad to play in comparison.

No, it has a literal option called color preset that allows you to change between default, muted, dark, contrast, or something like that I forgot the exact option names. It's in the game and it does help... a little. It doesn't fix the garbage UI and trash art direction but it makes the map a little easier to navigate.

Also you can hold Alt to highlight everything on the map. That can help navigating the map.

Not as far as I'm aware. Although the way some games or Steam handle demos, they might share the id with the game or something, so they disappear when the full game comes out. Or when it's in EA. But that shouldn't happen until some time next year at least.

I was surprised how easily I won all my 3 200% games I played, when I barely been playing HoMM games at all.

Well apparently as it turns out they do, although it doesn't seem to be a priority for them.
This is the first time they've cast it interestingly and I've played a bunch of classic games now never seen it.

>>723246545 (OP)
3rd playthrough complete, have now tried all factions except for schism. Once I got the hang of the game mechanics things rolled quickly, this 125% difficulty run was piss easy all things considered. Onto Schism @ 150% difficulty next. Some more general thoughts:

>luck-based builds seem VERY strong. Dungeon + Rhea max luck + Bleak Infiltrator => lucky shot every single time. My ranged units were DECIMATING everyone

>UI suggestion: PLEASE add an indicator for whether enemy units are ranged/counterattack before you/counterattack when you move by them. Yes, you will get to memorize all units in time but still it's just a waste of a quicksave/quickreload. In HOMM3 it was quite obvious who is and isn't ranged, in this game not really (which is a con of the game, the units have less "identity" than homm3)

>I don't like how certain maps - especially Jebus Cross - just throws massive amounts of free resources at you without having to fight any guards. Also, having 4 cities in the middle means you MUST break ASAP to have ANY chance of winning

>the building that allows you to trade resources for dust is MASSIVELY OP. Tied with my previous point about resources being thrown at you and I was able to upgrade all my T1-6 dwellings by the end of week 2!

It's frustrating that so many years after homm1/2/3 we STIL have not found a solution for games to not end with the winner of the first PVP fight.

In other news, if you're going to make supply chaining a pain in the ass then you MUST lower the level requirements of spells like town hall etc. Tying #Towns to #Heroes doesn't work - when you have few towns the distance to your main hero is negligeable, and once you go past 5 towns you can chain long distance anyways. Towards the end I had a 10-hero supply chain going but i could still only cross half the map. Then I thoght "oh wait, I can just town hall to the nearest town from the main hero!". Nope, need to be lvl 9 to cast the spell. It doesn't make the game fun.

>>723276119
oh and also PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST add a "Mass Select items -> Mass disenchant" option. Also, highlight the slot in which your inventory item is supposed to go in better.

>>723276119
>I don't like how certain maps - especially Jebus Cross - just throws massive amounts of free resources at you without having to fight any guards. Also, having 4 cities in the middle means you MUST break ASAP to have ANY chance of winning
This is in essence like saying about Age of Empires 2 that
>I don't like how the Golden Pit map template has gold in the middle that you need to control to win
Or
>I don't like how I have to build my town center myself when I play Nomad
I get that the demo map pool is limited, but I think you get the idea in the long run

All maps having like 15 towns sucks

wait, does it not give the AI any handicap too? It just makes neutrals stronger?

>>723273271
for some reason the AI STILL prioritizes attacking tier1 shitters just because "bigger number = better". Maybe that's why they don't prioritize ranged as much. Although I haven't seen the AI use twilight, I did see him use that spell that gives +1 speed + initiative

The ai in this game is fucking dogshit man. They keep running low level heroes with shitty t1 unit stacks by my main armies.

I'm nearly on month 3 of my first playthrough and I am bored out of my mind. Is this going to be one of those games where its only worth a damn if you buy it on release to play with all the other FOMO goyim?

>>723279069
PvP is going to be trash since they decided to keep town portal.

>>723277353
Heroes are actual units that are present on the battlefield. They can attack, cast spells, use consumables, get hit and get killed. Heroes with high combat skills and good artifacts can perform incredible feats, destroying entire armies single-handedly. Also the combinations of skills you level up the most change your hero class gaining unique passives that range from lame and generic +morale to passively spawning free busted units every day.
Units are now allowed to walk on their own, without a hero - they can't capture shit, but it's convenient for getting reinforcements, scouting and picking up resources. Most of units have passives and some have abilities/spells and cone with their own manapool.
Factions are changed from towns to sort of magic alignments? Life is basically Castle, Order is Tower, Chaos is Dungeon (with hydras), Death is a mix of Inferno and Necropolis, Nature is elves and animals and Might is Stronghold-ish but with more Conan
Unit roster got shaken up by this faction change, and then further by how tier system works. You now always have access to two tier 1 units, but for each of the subsequent three tiers you have to pick one and lose access to the other. So for example Nature gets both wolves and faeries @tier1 but for tier 2 you have to pick between first strike tigers or ranged elves. You can build different paths in different towns, but I usually stick to one unit comp.

This game would have been incredible if 3DO hadn't gone bankrupt, but you should still play it, it has fun campaigns, cool ideas and an enormous soul underneath a rough exterior

>>723276119
>It's frustrating that so many years after homm1/2/3 we STIL have not found a solution for games to not end with the winner of the first PVP fight.
The only solution to this while keeping most of the game the same is to cap the army size and then you get a very different game still

>>723280309
Removing town portal would also go a long way. Going wide is pointless when the opponent can just teleport their main army to defend any town.

>>723281148
Ehhh. If you split your army and the opponent doesn't and he finds you with his deathball you are now out of half the army and significantly behind on pace.

>>723281227
>implying my "half army" wasn't just a stack of black dragons on an armageddon hero

>>723281227
Going wide puts you ahead on resources. Having several armies is an advantage as long as the deathball can't teleport.

>>723281537
One of the big reasons JC is played so much I suppose. You don't have enough days to get to black dragons before a game is over.

This game is not 3.

>>723261397

>>723284778
Yeah, HoMM5 is kind of like HoMM3 just in 3D, campaigns are simple and satisfying, units design is fine, it feels more centred around RPG part of franchise and you should play it with mod called heroes 5.5 for better experience and AI.

>>723284778
For a casual HoMM5 is very similar to 3 (has pretty high production values too) but for an intermediate HoMM3 fan you will notice that something is off about the overworld. Probably it's because it has such a huge 3d objects, the maps Never feel as open as HoMM2,3,4 maps do where you can always spread out with several heroes and explore a lot. In 5 usually you only use 1 hero (and maybe one secondary) as there is always some guy blocking your progress and stopping you from exploring.

Olden Era is the first 3D HoMM to actually fix this issue by having a HoMM3 style overworld

Finally beat all the challenge. The surrender one only gave me 4 basic garbage non damage spells and it was hard.

>>723286571
kill yourself ubishit shill

>>723257746
no the remaster aka HD version is the worst version of the game
the GoG version + HOTA and the HD MOD is the current standard version you see everyone playing simply because its the best heroes game.

>>723278192
Yea they were doing daylight army wide buffs almost all game and suddenly when they noticed I had ranged superiority(probably) they cast twilight. Priority probably needs to be tweaked for AI when using spells that if they do possess things like twilight which can completely shut down ranged units they should use that ASAP

so what do i need to know coming from homm3? theres like stances, new magic, focus points and laws or some shit?

>>723292910
it plays just like any other hero game, the biggest thing you'll notice inmediatly is that you can only have 1 hero per each town you own, everything else you'll learn as you go

Best map in the demo?

>Dungeon has a hero that allows you to start with tier6 units
How is this balanced?

whats hota

>>723294257
>Dungeon
everyone but temple has one hero like that

Damn the 200 two player map is way too easy the computer doesnt even get to leave base

>>723294607
horn of the abyss, a mod for heroes 3 which became pretty much the go to way to play the game nowadays

>>723256140
I remember how they used sprites from the world map for this comparison to make their HD looks better.

>>723256390
>>723257538
Best use I've found for that ability is when you conquer towns of different factions.
Just keep sacrificing their units for summoning more Cthulhu shenanigans.
For example I increased a tier 7 unit in this battle by 5.
Of course you can do this with different creeps but ideal is to find a HUGE ranged stack and cast twilight so you're totally in control of how you want to do this. Ideally neutrals with very low speed are preferrable.
Then have these sacrificial stacks sacrifice themselves and keep summoning(have the summoned stacks summon again and so on)

>>723296472
Just to add, of course its no necromancy since that guarantees you units by defeating units and its a bit trickier to pull of but you git gud at it you can increase your high tier units and necromancy can't do it to this extent.

It seems like a lot more units are immune to magic compared to old HoMM. I didn't notice it as much when I was playing Haven, but playing you can't help but notice when playing as Schism

>>723296772
>Haven
I meant Temple
I have HoMM5 brain right now

>>723282851
lmao, I'd never seen half of these

>>723250586
Kittendildo plushies when?

Go with Dungeon and focus on their t2 and t3, they'll do a lot for you.

Speaking of, how good are heroes and town laws that focus on particular tier units, compared to more general bonuses?

>>723299916
Wouldn't that depend on the unit?

>>723262326
Poles aren't people

>>723299946
You see, that's the thing. If units of one tier in a particular town are so much better, wouldn't that be a fundamental flaw in design? With or without hero specialization. I would it to be more of a flavor choice, based on the player's personal preference. But it also has to compete not just with other tier units, but general specialization skills, like Necromancy specialist hero, etc.

>>723300130
>You see, that's the thing. If units of one tier in a particular town are so much better, wouldn't that be a fundamental flaw in design?
Not really, towns can be balanced by their tiers being unequal.
Nobody gave a shit about griffins in homm 3 but marksmen more than made up for it.

>Trying to remember where each portal goes
>Trying to manage two dozen cities
>Trying to track down and stomp the AI's little shitstacks
>Bottlenecked on resources the entire time unless I spend two heroes specifically on running around gathering Crystal
That map fucking sucked.

What map should I play next to get a less shitty experience?

>>723300226
>Trying to remember where each portal goes
Why the FUCK are portal entrances and exists different colors?

>>723300280
Better question why the FUCK aren't they on the minimap so I can tell which portal goes to which quadrant of the map at a glance?

I don't know how I feel about the alchemical dust-thingy as a resource. It forces me to keep a supply hero running on the map visiting the free dust points just to keep up upgrading my buildings. It feels like a chore.

So is this like a modern take on HOMM III? Is it even going to have its own campaigns or whatever the fuck? DEI faggotry? Fill me in on the details, anons.

>>723300358
Just recycle all your worthless scrolls
>noooo, I need that Early Start scroll!

>>723300358
Every HoMM game became a chore at some point.

>>723300361
No, I don't think I will.

>>723300361
So far no DEI shit other than a brown sexbomb existing as a unit at least that I've seen and I've completed my first game as Schism

Also why didn't anyone tell me Arena was fun
>Draft hero, items, skills, and units randomly
>Go fight a nerd
This would be kind of awesome vs another player, it made for some buttclenching matches just vs ai

>>723300957
>>Draft hero, items, skills, and units randomly
I think that was an early pvp format for HoMM 3. Tiny map with artifacts and shit to just pick up and fight.

>>723300361
its just like every other heroes game but heavily influenced by 3, still has its own new stuff and you can only have 1 hero per each town you own

>>723300957
>Also why didn't anyone tell me Arena was fun
Because it's impossible to convince hommfags to try new shit. It's like asking elderly to take their pills.

>>723301173
>new shit.
>>723301040

>>723277281
and homm3 looks great to this day despite being made in 1999, whats your point?

>>723300957
Its fun but I actually prefer the map where you automatically get ported to fight after 1 month in single hero mode.
Although to make it more fair I'd prefer if we could have more leeway maybe 2 months would be enough so necro and Schism can utilize their mechanics fully.

>>723282851
Now I understand where the original source of ahegao comes from.

The worst part about alchemist dust is that it makes so you only want to upgrade the creature building in one town, making it so you want to send all the creatures from all other towns to that ONE town.
It's just a big chore and so obnoxious, there's nothing fun or interesting about it.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I would want some kind of "rougelike" mode in which you have a fort that gets invaded after every "X" day and it gets harder and harder.
You'll have a quite big area you can explore that will keep getting refreshed/generated again after every invasion.
The goal is to obviously see how long you can survive.

I'd kill for a mode like this

>>723303165
You just made me realize there are no caravans.
A feature that was there from 4 to 7.

>>723249246
True. So true. Something has been lost in modern graphical design and world creation.

>>723303354
5 has caravans? I don't remember

>>723300957
>Also why didn't anyone tell me Arena was fun
Because it's not really fun against CPU
When they add online it will be great

>>723303280
If the map editor is feature rich and mods are easy to make, it can be done most likely. Sounds not that complicated, besides balancing.

>>723303501
In the addons, to be desu.

>>723303501
I played HoMM 5 for little years ago and still remember it had caravans
If I remember correctly you could intercept them even

>>723303484
Artists seem to be afraid of being basic. HoMM3 designs look great, but are also very basic interpretations of classic fantasy creatures. OE designs try too hard to look unique and end up just being messy.

>>723248982
Looks like how League of Legends used to look

Square tiles make positioning more straight-forward and shielding a (ranged) unit much easier
Squares are for squares

>>723305169
Good thing nobody gives a shit what you or your tranny discord friends think.

It’s an inferior product compared to 3.

>>723276206

I didn't actually bothered to try yet but can't you shift-select multiple items?
oh wait this games UI was made by retards, so you probably can't. dumb question.

>>723307012
>8 possible direction of attack is easier to shield than 6(hex)
wat

>>723308107
>>8 possible direction of attack
Are you just pretending to be retarded and not understand that shielded units reside in the corner
Yes it's easier to prevent any melee unit from attacking your shielded unit when the tiles are squares rather than hexagons

>>723246545 (OP)
So this game is pretty shit. Why are we pretending it’s good?

>>723305428
Even if just to spite hexfags, since they are insufferable

>>723309281
It's closer to Heroes 3 than all the other sequels. I can overlook the crap art if they fix the UI and add back the adventure element.

>>723310175
to be fair, it was a mighty magical cart of ore

>>723308357
NTA but with both hexes and squares it takes 3 units to block one unit in the corner. Potentially only 2 with hexes depending on how they're cut off

>>723308357
Hexes are better because every attack has to be where the sides of the hex touch. With squares, a corner attack means the squares are not adjacent, ie. the sides are not overlapping, only the corners. In other words if you were to move into another square, it would take 2 moves, while with hex your attack distance is always 1 move away.

So hexes make more logical sense. Also square tiles are for SRPGs.

>>723300957
>brown sexbomb
Elaborate?

>>723310665
>if you were to move into another square, it would take 2 moves
???

>>723308357
in both cases it takes 3 units to shield archer in a corner, no idea what are you blabbering about you turbo retard

>>723251973
Please increase the animation speed.
Also, 1 battle and you have to return to town. Does not seem that easy mode.

>>723310712

>>723311491
Those corner tiles also don't exist in Olden Era™

>>723311491
Not that guy, but why are you posting something unrelated to homm?

>>723311491
Being inaccurate representation of a HoMM battlefield aside.
Why the FUCK is your row/column numbering like that?

>>723311086
If you can only visit adjacent squares then diagonal movement means moving 2 squares. Movement in practically every SRPG is calculated this way.

>>723311491
HE'S A BEE, GET HIM

>>723311491
heres homm3 map you fucking faggot, half of the corners require 3, It's hilarious how the entire argument started because you claimed it's easier to shield units on a square board and now you're showing that the exact opposite is true.

>>723306695
you're actually a faggot

>>723310175
I think the adventure element is just missing from the demo, since all we have is random maps and tutorials.

And pretty stong hero too imo. might stats and stacking necromancy% just make your guys harder to kill and killier when they kill.

Anon >>723310665 was talking about hexes vs squares in theory and what's more "logical", not how it's exactly implemented and offset in any HoMM game. And in that case, blocking a corner with only 2 units is possible with hexes.

>>723314094
I wonder if that is because he was busy with 30th anniversary album. This probably started production at least a year ago. Has a score book too. Arranging 31 tracks is a challenge.

>>723312079
But you don't need to move diagonally to attack. That's the thing with squares, you can just move 1 square (not 2) and attack diagonally.

>>723314616
Well you can also make a square setup where a corner is blockable by only 1 square. If it does not apply to the game the point is kind of moot isn't it?
At least the hex thing does apply on the defenders side.

But that would be a mess and not the most basic layout possible, like the hex map I posted.

If the point is moot then talk to the anon who wants to discuss what's most "logical" instead of practical, or this anon >>723307012 >>723308357 who couldn't be talking about any game because what he said doesn't apply to any homm game.

>>723315632
what makes it more logical? Personally I like hex more in HOMM games but it doesnt have anything with added depth, its purely because of better aesthetic. Square grid system works perfectly fine in games like XCOM where diagonal movement uses 1.5x time units, theres no reason to change it for hex.

>>723316201
hexes make area-effect spells much simpler to both calculate and to convey to players

I kinda wish the world map was in hexes too

Don't know of the track list but he already had a lot of those tracks arranged. He used to hold piano performances in Hungary and Poland, they are like 40-50 minute long medleys and a fucking wonder to listen to even with the crap phone recordings.

Having the piano arrangements finally get a digital release will be a joy forever.
