So, I'm having a ball this evening. I decided I'd better try H6 again since I haven't played for ages, and with H7 info getting more substantial and all. So I download game through Steam, which takes about 4 hours. Then when game is finally down, I get persistent errors when trying to log onto uPlay. Now I have to redownload four files and sit through another 45 minute wait. Good start!

Well interesting, seems you had a moment of weakness as I had. But I haven't encountered such download issues, not at all. Instead, I got crashes every 30 minutes.
Well I see it more as staying updated rather than a moment of weakness.  After all, if we are to judge H7 skill system, I guess I need to remember exactly how H6 skill system worked.
EDIT > Ok, so 45 minute re-download complete, game still won't start, instant crash when trying to log into uPlay. Way to go UbiSoft!

Two months ago I have finally bought "Danse Macabre". I liked the story and the final boss fight but I have promised to myself that this will be the last time I would ever play Heroes VI. Instead I play Heroes V and it certainly is something more pleasing than Heroes VI. During my playtime with Sandro I have found out that Heroes VI is a quite pleasing game but its replay value is close to 0. For example I have played through Heroes VI campaign once and in case of Heroes V I have done it thrice. The story might bemore poorly executed than in Heroes VI but the gameplay is so much better. This is also main main wish regarding Heroes VII - to make it feel like Heroes V, nothing more.

Your good intentions are commendable. In fact, I had the same approach. Nevertheless, I couldn't regret my decision enough before long. Come on, it's not like you're a stranger from the sentiment. Aren't you beholding the splendor of Heroes 6 manifest before you even at this point?

Funny story. I went to play H6 a few months ago for snows and giggles, but there was a new way to get into Uplay, through e-mail and password. And I had no idea what the email was. It was always just the username and password, which I had but they changed it, so that account is lost. Along with H6+expansions. But I'm kinda over that game now

Thank you sir for reminding me the terrible mistake I avoided by not purchasing H6
I didn't know you wanted so hard to enter in a depression though

I wanted to try and run Heroes VI... but I can't even log in to Uplay, not even Steam.
Uplay just takes an eternity to log in, while Steam dismisses me immediately with "connection troubles". It seems to be the problem with all other programs, with Skype and browser as the only exception...
Is someone here good enough with computers to help me...? ^-^;

Why on earth would you want to play H6? LOL
You aren't missing much, since you will probably get fatal error after the first 10 minutes of playing.

Griffins aren't flying, Rakshasas and Golems are still too small. 
griffins dont fly when they go nearby. what i mean is, its acctually flying but not when enemy is too close.
in april joke video, sclaing was better, fixed. look for it and you will see what i mean. this is probably not implemented on demo you watched.
btw im really curious how many people did really played h6 here? i find it hard to believe that those hate posts have some game-experience behind it.

I think that most of them at least tried the game but you have to remember that H6 at the release was the buggiest game i've ever played so i'm not surprised that so many people gave up on the game.
However, right now SoD with 2.1.1 patch is quite "predictable" (still buggy but i no longer get random crashes - meaning i can predict when the game will crash since i know the main bugs) so... well let's say i don't encounter so many problems as the previous posters do (and i've been playing the game almost every day for the last 3 weeks - mostly PvP). Just in case i have H6:SoD from steam.

Can you really consider it playing when it crashed every 5 minutes? Combat screen darkened almost every time and I wasn't able to see crap, the game crashed when I tried to enter towns, I had to log online only to play the game myself, I guess this was just another reason for it to crash. If you consider this annoying chore playing, then yes I played it

Wow.. wonder under wich lucky star my notebook is. Since I rarely ever experienced problems with H6, The game drops once in a blue moon and I get logged out some times (but that is more likely my Wifi) So sorry if I cant understand most of your problems :-D
And I'm playing it on a rather bad Notebook not a PC of any high standard.
:-D
Poor you.. not because of the game, but due to lack of general luck :-P
And Green drag ... User name usualy = mail adress :-D it takes both, and you can ask the support for help. IDK how much you paid for the game but i'm not the person who would let such cash just go down the drain :-D

I don't experience any issues when logging in to Uplay to run Heroes VI. Yesterday I spent a few hours playing the first Necro map on hard difficulty, to no avail (the end fight proved to be a bridge too far ). I decided to just play a Custom Map on hard difficulty instead.
And why on earth would I, or someone else, play H6? Because I, we, still think it's fun as it is, has nice music, good graphics, interesting stuff and mechanics. And no, I don't get any fatal errors at all. Sometimes a black screen when loading a battle, but quick-combat is the key to avoid that (and it speeds up gameplay at the same time  ).
Sligneris, I can't help you with your problem, but I hope someone else can. Don't expect anyone around here, though. I don't think anyone is willing to help you with something that has to do with H6 .

I actually started to enjoy it when I made some graphical changes...
But custom meshes don't work, so my interest vanished pretty soon again...

Why not?
They don't have that feature for nothing, you know. I use quick-combat to quickly defeat neutral stacks so I don't spend all my time fighting them manually. When I happen to lose too much, I decide to go for manual because that way I am always able to reduce the losses to zero or just a few. H6 at least kind of 'makes' you play battles manually, because experience gained trough QC isn't added to your Dynasty Weapon. However, since I discovered a quick but slightly boring way of leveling them up instantly (fist map in the Necro campaign), that is no longer required.
I also use quick-combat to test my Hero's skills and army against an enemy hero, but usually I play end battles like these manually, because that's where the fun really begins. It's everyone's preference, for sure. One person likes to play battles this way, the other person likes to do it that way. I can at least clear areas a lot faster if QC doesn't make me lose too much .
A minor drawback occurs when I select 'Use Magic in Auto-combat'. Usually my Hero spends way too much mana and I am left with barely enough to portal back to a town in case of emergency.

What I want to say is that some "game bug" shouldn't force you to go for quick combat. Also quick combat IMO quite takes some "magic" from playing heroes as it is one of the main features of the game. Also the AI tends to don't be a very good player and it may end with lots of causalities/spent mana as you said and it's not a reliable option.
