Something funny and useful...in HoMM5
I thought of an idea. Everybody who had once played Dungeon Keeper 2 campaigns noticed that after every successful campaign you got a new funny movie. I think that this idea should be included in HoMM5. They could put a challenge mode where you could unlock rewards: movies, creatures, heroes, campaigns, maps and even new map making abilities. You could see them in a Stats Menu that should be put next to High Scores.
Challenge mode should contain more or less 20 missions. Every difficulty level should have 4 of them. Four types of missions should be different. Maybe they could put
deathmatch challenge, where you should defeat all the enemies;
treasure challenge, where you should find the grail;
labyrinth challenge, where you should find a way to defeat a monster through the mazes (same as tutorial, but harder)
rampage challenge, where you should capture all mines and creature dwellings
All the missions should contain a time limit that should depend on the difficulty and a specified loss condition. Difficulties (beginner; novice; intermediate; advanced; expert) would give or take some of the benefits, ex.: take or give more resources, give spell, take experience, et cetera (latin word, means “and many more”)
The fun part in the game should be rumours in taverns, talks in castles, whispers of creatures and many others. For example, rumour in a tavern could change once a day. Sometimes it could be an anecdote (a joke), a warning, a sneer or a long and funny life story. There should be lots of varieties of them. HoMM4 didn’t have this cute thing and it was a pity. That’s what I hated most.
Another funny thing in HoMM5 could be real (like in homm3), but funny heroes’ faces.
Some heroes’ faces in homm4 were pretty funny, but they were painted, not real. If it was real and funny it would bring even more fun to the game.
But I think if there were too much fun, it would be a chaos. I think a bit of fun wouldn’t do anything bad. Only good…………

messages you get when picking up an artifact are a little bit funny imho, or absurd rather, without overdoing.
as for heroe's faces i would prefer smoething in between homm3&4 most.

I didn't say anything about talking while picking an artifact. I just say that in challenges the creatures you are fighting can talk before the combat. That was one of the options in HoMM3: In the Wake of Gods.
And for the heroes faces.
Yah, I agree with you. But that monotony would be boring. I think some but not all heroes faces suppose to be funny. I prefer HoMM3 faces too, but it would be nice, for example, Gretchin or Sir Mullich to have funny faces.
Sometimes you can't live without fun. I think even the shortest funny things are needed to change our boring monotony of life.

I might be wrong but isn't all of these things doable in H4, assuming you script the map that way?
Most of them also exist as special victory conditions, and or loss conditions.
So what are you wishing for which isn't already in the game? Or is it just a wish to keep the features twhich already exist?
Do you want a random map generator which can generate this type of maps? Or something else?

i didn't mean to say anything wrong, Djive, but I don't think that there were MUCH fun in homm4. There were some faces.
And for your opinion: I think that challenges are needed. Those movies in homm4 aren't funny. I think ALL the things (except TBS) need to be changed.
But that's only my opinion. I will never criticize you when you're discussing about my or someone else' thread. Have it your way, of course!

Aha... so the wish is for new and different cut-scenes? And different cut-scenes depending on victory condition and perhaps also if you played undead, humans or something else.
And better than the cutscene in H4 which admittedly wasn't all that good.

Actually, yes.
You're right. I kind of think that not cut-scenes but, more likely, little movies, should be unlocked.

Maybe loop movies like HoMM3 Prologues and Epilogues. Maybe there would be a veriaty of them for the mapmaker.

This time: "NO!"
Prologues, epilogues, it doesn't matter. I say that maybe funny cut-scenes like in Dungeon Keeper 2 after completing campaigns. That would more worthy.

That's not what I mean't. I meant the movies would be like them, but in the middle and maybe end of the game. You gotta listen to me, man. I UNDERSTAND your Dungeon Keeper 2 gig.
