Speaking of trident of dominion can you guys make a combo out of 4 new statboosting arts that will also symbolize the expansion like horn of the abyss does Kappa

That's cool, always liked Conflux, even though it had some weak links like Fire or Earth Elementals.

So earth magic is green colored? interesting! While the orb of silt looked brownish
"The remade Conflux sprite is one of the many planned changes to fix the issues with the town's appearance that are being worked on. These sprites for the adventure map will be introduced in HotA 1.5.4, while some other changes, such as considerable improvements on the town screen and several tweaks to the heroes, are planned to be completed later."
Sounds promising... a hero tweak Okay conflux really neads one

Glad you still working on your addon. Sadly next version announcement seems boring. At least I hope you'll find more time next year for making something more spectacular or interesting for casual player.

Tweaks to Conflux heroes in the future huh, sounds interesting.
All Planeswalkers having 2 x the same special and them all getting static bonusses = boring. Thunar and Erdamon are even clones of each other, also boring.
Luna: Fire Wall is good in the beginning, but will soon become useless. AI also cannot cast Fire Wall, so her starting spell and special is useless to AI.
Ciele: Same as Luna good in the beginning, but as soon as she learns Ice Bolt or Lightning Bolt, her Magic Arrow becomes useless.
Inteus: Specialising in Bloodlust, when half of Confluxes creatures are immune to Fire and 2 units are ranged is just stupid.
It's also bothers me how Fire Magic is not really good with Conflux, except for of course Armageddon.
Bloodlust, Protection From Fire, Slayer, Frenzy, Fire Shield and Sacrifice does'nt affect half the creatures.
Fire/Energy Elementals and Firebird/Phoenix should never have been completely immune to Fire, it just makes Fire Magic useless for Conflux.
Seems like NWC really was in a rush and did'nt have time to think when they created this faction.
Not a Conflux hero, but also Melodia: I get it, Melodia is a lucky girl, but having both Luck and Fortune specialty is just useless.

I'd love to see shield or fire shield specialist in flux town, seems unique to me. Also note that while armorer/offence masters get bonus percentage on level-up without any tier restrictions, magic heroes like Alagar/Solmyr ( no, not Jeddite/Alamar) receive almost none to their not-so-useful spells.

But they had time to patch this town in next patches (AB 2.1 and AB 2.2) and in the Shadow of Death expansion. But they really didn't care

I don't think these specisls exist. I once tried with Curse and Misfortune, thinking they would work when Bless and Fortune does, but Curse and Misfortune does'nt exist either.
But I know Lightning Bolt works and Land Mine, Destroy Undead, Armageddon and Implosion probably also works, even though Arma and Implosion would of course be OP.

Just to keep the voices down a little, it could also be some graphical tweaks like redrawing 2 pixels on Grindans nose...

I think that they just want to keep their New Year's tradition, even if they don't have that much to show. I remember when there was no update in 2017, and later they release really decent update in 2018. I think that was a good option, I prefer rare updates with something interesting to show than another actualization with changes in graphics only (which is good option as a part of something bigger, not as a main feature).

I've already stated a number of times that 1.5.4 will be strictly a bugfix update. Quite a huge one, in this regard, but without any new features or even significant graphics changes (Conflux map sprite is the only exception). And no, it will become available in December. No update will be released on the New Year's Day this year.

I discovered a bug,not sure if anyone reported it before.
I am playing randomly generated map in HOTA 1.5.3. No one from my heroes and opponents have Orb of vulnerability and still every hero can blind Black Dragons.If interested,I will upload map and savegame.

Lol, I ofc understand that tweaking is good when there is a chance to do so (and why not?), but this reminds me how years back games weren't patched frequently and we simply needed to live with them as they were. If a hero in HoMM had crappy abilities you simply didn't choose him/her

It's very interesting how people understand the phrase 'no new features'.

Hota templates
Hello I want to share a few custom templates I made for Hota.
Survival HC
In these templates you play versus an unstoppable hordes of AI. The goal is to survive and bide your time until you have a way to fight back. AI gets quite a lot of bonuses to compensate for their incompetence.
Playable area of the map is closer to an L size in all versions. So it's not really XL or H as it says.
Eclipse is an alternative version of this template. Here player starts in a desert with no dwellings other than Nomads and Slow is disabled everywhere except for Tome of Earth Magic.
In co-op version you can play it with a friend.
Hardcore rules: no save / load scumming, no battle restarts, no hero invites, allied AI, fast roads, no water content, strong monster strength, impossible difficulty 200% , more options > tournament rules on.

I've made one map with Survival HC... How the hell have you made to create so different starting areas? For all I know they have to be similar.
