>>2167454 (OP)
I 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

>>2167871
It'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.

Not 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?

Isn't Red route complete dogshit on Temple Might? 200% stronger Heroic Strike is still not gonna kill anything worth killing.
>>2168391
There 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.
>>2168400
Minotaur, 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

tutorial

>>2167454 (OP)
Interesting 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
>>2169113
Complete the first two tutorials and you will unlock them

>>2167454 (OP)
Took 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.

>>2168400
Currently 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.

>>2169816
The 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.

>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?

>>2168560
The 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.

Don't look up "Morning Glory Milking Farm" because I'm sure someone at Unfrozen has read it

>>2167454 (OP)
I 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.

>>2167454 (OP)
It'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 game
its 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.

>>2167454 (OP)
It's not going to beat HoMM 3 for me, but there are some things I like so far
The 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

>>2172596
Ubishit faggot shilling

>>2172635
If 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.

>>2172762
Town Portal was a mistake

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/three-ubisoft-former-execs-found-guilty-of-sexual-and-psychological-harassment-given-suspended-sentences
Former 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.

Nice, 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?

>>2173636
right here

>>2173643
thanks

On 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.

>>2173402
1. 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 swordsman
3. they're called inquisitors, which doesnt really fit the super tanky slow melee unit that they are
4. they hold the iconic cavalry from being tier 6

>>2173401
was thinking of homm2 walking knights desu
in 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

>>2173650
WTF, 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

>>2173650
Easiest fix is making cultists able to commit sudoku.

>>2173655
OH 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 desu
Even then HoMM5 Inferno had the same summoning ability without requiring you to lose a stack first and it was still meh

>>2173659
it'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

>>2173662
I 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.

>>2173674
it requires max level skills

>>2173654
>4. they hold the iconic cavalry from being tier 6

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?

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. Escape -> Additional. FOR THE LOV OF CHRIST WHY IS IT NOT IN THE OPTIONS MENU INSTEAD??

>>2173901
>ranged only + twilight

Minotaurs and troglodytes are one of the best designed units in olden era desu, can actually see if its upgraded or which upgrade it is at a glance, and they look pretty good too for this game
meanwhile the ranged glaive throwing fucks all look the same

I 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.

In 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 plates
Most 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

>>2174540
It 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.

>>2174815
cont.

>Are some skills bad
Yes. 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
>Alchemical dust
I 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 shit
Honestly 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

sorry 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.

Based 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.
>>2174846
Based 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)

Well thats good too but make the actual units BIGGER damn. Big reason of trouble with unit readability is that they're so smol

>>2175324
They can't figure out how to make 2 hex units lol

>>2175324
>Big reason of trouble with unit readability is that they're so smol
It'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.

>>2175363

Schism is a trainwreck, however Temple is overall quite nice.

>>2173109
I wish Sylvan wasn't a chaotic mix of every possible fantasy thing ever. 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.

>>2175636

They have what? Pretty cool archer fawns, cute bee-like melee, slow AOE mushroom elementals, some type of ranged ice salamander that I do not get the fantasy significance of, basically H5 druids, literally Chinese unicorns, and literally phoenixes.
Out of these salamander and hoplet feel kinda meh, but the rest are a pretty ok fantasy/myth lineup.

>>2176192
Thanks 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.

>>2176239
Typically 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.

>>2176187

>>2176283
picking things up next to you doesn't cost movement

>>2176460
yes

>desert is the designated neutral ground terrain
>ice is the Schism terrain
so no Tower or Academy i guess

>>2176518
No, 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.

>>2176527
The first faction they add post release should be barbarian themed. It is the biggest missing fantasy archetype.

>>2176226
No problem, mate. I also appreciate the effort put into neutral units. I'm curious about the lack of elementals though.

>>2176527
I can easily see desert becoming other faction's terrain on full release.

>>2176553
Well there are apparently goblins in the code so maybe we will get something like stronghold

the largest issue is T4 and T5. 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.

Hive also suffers from a scaling issue, where gnats look way too big and t5 and t6 look way too small.

Sadly 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.

>>2177476
They should just make all t7 take 2 hexes. Ti would greatly improve the unit readability.

It does. Having it two full damage to the first and second targets would be a more balanced approach.

Well, 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.
