First I'd like to say the questions are biased. For instance there's no way to indicate that I would like to see castle walls very hard or impossible to destroy. I like Heroes4 sieges much more, all that makes them unplayable is overpowered Blue, errr... Order magic.
Q1: 3
Q2: 3 (50%-100%), if fully developed. Magic is worth more.
Q3: D war machines
Q4: 1 it works well if mana is limited
Q6: C
Q7: ACEFH
Q8: 1 less than 10%
Q9: 2 (amount per stack should depend on creature level)
Q10: As many as you can make BALANCED and playable in multi
Q11: 1
Q12: 4 no upgrades. I want creatures to be unique, slight appearance change doesn't impress me. Upgrades hardly add anything to gameplay.
Q13: Other: One school per town + common spells.
Q14: 2: 5 levels should be enough for everyone. But seriously, it's fine as long as each spell is of suitable level. How NOT TO do this - take a look at Heroes1-3. Almighty Blind available for each hero with spellbook, TRULY worthless Hypnosis at level3...
Q15: 1
Q16: E (all other possibilities would make magic "must-have" and punish pure might heroes)
Q17: BDF
Q18: it's pointless to come with numbers ! Skills should be versatile and useful.
Q19: 2 (4, I feel Heroes2-3 is too easy to max out, Heroes4 - too hard, as if made for campaigns)
Q20: 2 (loosely connected groups. Heroes4 horribly limits available choices ! In fact, Heroes feel more similar than before, because if you go say Tactics + Chaos Magic everyone can predict which skills are you going to have ! I suggest that some skills provide small bonuses to others.)
Q21: 3: there should be no hero classes, althrough some skills would benefit each other and provide additional effects (like Demonology in Heroes4). This has to be designed carefully.
Q22: 1
Q23: I think no, because it would disencourage offense ! Let's say Player1 tries to develop his cities. Player2 sends a scout and realises that his opponent has no defence.So he launches suprise attack.
Now Player1 has higher "technologies" available, but because he spent no gold on upkeep, he can quickly buy more advanced stuff and easily defend himself.
Basically I think it would lead to early stalemates. It would be counterproductive to attack before your towns are fully developed.
Q24: 1
Q25: 1,3
Q26: 3
Q27: 2
Q28: 1
Q29: ABC
D:as much as is fun, not overpowered and versatile. For instance one hero could get +1 to sight radius per 6 levels...
Another could get 1%/level magic resistance.
Q30: 2
Q31: 2
Q32: 1
Q33: 2
Q34: 2
Q35: 1 Keep it. It makes scouting skills actually useful.
Q36: 1
Q37: 2 No . Next thing you to consider could be what obscures vision more: Dragon Cliff or Treehouse. I think it's pointless fun-spoiler.
Q38: 4 I think it's optimal.

Q1. The Hero Role.
3. Heroes should not particpate personally in battle. (Heroes 1-Heroes 3 style.)
Having the Heroes participate in battles opened up all sorts of cans of worms in H4, and didn't really add much to the play value.
Quote:
Q2. How much is it reasonable that a Hero can add to an army's offence and defence? (Through skills and attributes)
2. 10-50 %
I think I'm being a bti too harssh here- more would be fine, to a certain point. Having heroes buff up level 1 units so that they can take on level 2 units is pretty reasonable. Having them buff up level 1's so that they could take on level 4/5's isn't, and that happened every so often in the earlier hero games.
Quote:
Q3. Should Heroes be able to have side-kicks/henchmen (enhancing skills or giving Hero new abilities) or war machines?
A. Side-Kicks to give Hero new special abilities.
B. Side-Kicks to give Hero higher stats.
C. Side-Kicks to give a % bonus to certain hero secondary skills.
D. War machines.
Variety is always good, and all of these sound pretty fun. The more choices you have the more replayable the game will be.
Quote:
Q4. What should decide which spells a Hero have access to (barring artifacts or scrolls which can give heroes additional spells):
1. Any spell the Hero has learnt in the game (H2 - H4 style)
Any other option worries me- what would the "logic" (as it were) be behind a hero losing the ability to "know" a spell when a certain wizard tower is captured? Why would a hero only be able to cast spells a certain number of times?
Quote:
Q5. Which level of diplomacy do you want in the game?
2. Fixed allies on the Map.
Leave the backstabbing to other titles.
Quote:
Q6. Assuming you have diplomacy which of the following do you want.
C. Ability to trade by making a give/want offer.
Q7. Assuming you can trade with other players which of the following do you want tradeable (some of these would be limited depending on the diplomatic stance between the players):
C. Flagged Map Structures. (Mines etcetera)
D. Heroes held for Ransom by enemy.
E. Artifacts.
F. Normal resources.
Q8. How much should a Hero minor artifact be able to add to an army's offence, ranged attack or defence?
2. 10-20%
This is an ambiguous questino- how many minor artifacts would a hero be able to hold? If the answer is "only one", then my answer would be higher.
Quote:
Q9. Stacking creatures:
3. Creature stacks should work as before.
Q10. How many Towns would you like to see:
1. 5 or less.
That's per side. Five towns was really the feasible limit to how many towns you can develop during the course of a scenerio unless you were in an absurdly long scenerio.
Quote:
Q11. How many creatures (counting upgrades) in each town?
3. 13-16 (H3)
Again, variety is always good. This isn't one of my strongest opinions, though- I thought the number in H4 was acceptable, though some upgrading would have been nice.
Quote:
Q12. How many upgrades for each creature in town? (Edited to clarify: It's the number of upgrades for the individiual creature and not the total amount of upgrades of creatures which is asked for.)
3. Each creatures should have between zero and three upgrades. (H2 style)
Even snazzier would be if you were able to dictate WHICH of your creatures would be able to get upgrades. For example, the Wizard can choose to make a specific castle a golem plant, capable of upgrading to platinum (or whatever) golems, but at the cost of not being able to upgrade His Nagas very far.
Quote:
Q13. Magic Schools and Towns
2. Use 3-6 magic schools, and let each towns produce spells in about 50% of them.
Q14. How many levels for spells?
2. 5
Q15. How do you want the magic schools?
3. Dedicated schools but some spells are shared between schools (H3)
Maybe the #1 option would be more appropriate. I'm tired of town portal being such an important spell that the school it's in becomes almost a must-have. Give it and a few of the other generic spells to everybody.
Quote:
Q16. Should there be spells for....
A. Global spells affecting all creatures (possible in radius from a Hero or a Town)
B. Spells directly affecting cities.
C. Summoning creatures outside combat, which you can keep.
D. Altering the adventure map.
E. Summonng guards to Mines (H2 style)
All of these sound nifty, but man, balance is gonna be a bit of an issue, no?
Quote:
Q17. Which of the following do you want to see during a siege of a city.
A. Shooting turrets. (Either fixed strength, or increasing strength depending on which day the turret was built)
B. Turrets, but player must place own shooters in it.
C. Garrison mage/tower casting spells.
D. Traps and moats harming attackers.
E. Grail creature defending town.
F. Specialized defence strutcure. (Could be dealing damage to attackers each turn, or summoning town defenders, or possibly animating slain creatures to skeletons and the like.)
G. Catapults to break down walls and gate.
I. Attacker is able to destroy town structures. (If completely destroyed then the defender has to rebuild them.)
Some of these would have to be dealt with gently- allowing commando raids to take out the city's Titan Castle would be highly unwelcome. Siege combat was god awful in H4.
Quote:
Q18. How many secondary skills for heroes?
3. 30-39
Q19. How many skill levels for the secondary skills?
2. 4.
Q20. How tightly should skills depend on each other.
3. Strongly connected with groups and, prerequisites within group. (H4)
Q21. Should Hero class depend on secondary skill?
1. Hero class should be derived from secondary skills possessed.
Q22. Assuming there are skill groups. How many skills in each group?
1. 3 or less skills
Q23. Should creatures require upkeep?
1. Yes.
Q24. Do you want the one build/day limit to stay?
1. Yes.
Q25. Which restriction on mixing creatures and heroes in armies do you prefer?
3. Creatures can move around without Heroes. (H4 style)
Q26. Which limit do you want for recruiting Heroes?
2. One per week/Tavern, more with Tavern upgrades.
Q27. Should Heroes in basic classes start out identical?
2. No.
This was on simplification that robbed H4 of a lot of character that the previous games had. A happy medium would be to have beginning heroes have 4 skill points or so and have them assigned differently on different starting heroes. Minor special abilities would also be nice.
Quote:
Q28: Should heroes have specialties?
1. Yes (like in H3)
Q29: If the answer above is yes should they:
A. Enhance secondary skills
B. Offer bonuses to certain creatures
Specializing in certain spells made some heroes godlike and some fairly useless. Miscellaneious advantages like adding to gold and such could be handled by skill concentrations.
Quote:
Q30: Maximum City Hall weekly income should cover
2. 50%-75%
Some outside help should be required. H4 royally screwed this up and made cities almost self-sustaining. Bad idea.
Quote:
Q31. How important is a Random Map Generator in first release to you.
4. Not important.
Q32. How important is multi player in the first relesase?
1. It decides whether or not I buy the game.
Q33. How important is an improved map editor (compared to the feature level in H4?
2. Very important.
designing a map in H4 was waaaaaay too time consuming. The difference in the number of maps designed for H3 vs H4 can be explained in part by this.
Quote:
Q34. How important is possibility to modify the game, with custom graphics, sounds or similar?
4. Not important.
Q35. What do you think of Fog of War?

Great poll- I look forward to another!

Q1. The Hero Role.
3. Heroes should not particpate personally in battle. (Heroes 1-Heroes 3 style.)
Heroes participating on the battlefield makes it all about protecting them. Maybe for the sake of campaigns, you can leave that option, but only if the hero chooses to fight without its army.
Q2. How much is it reasonable that a Hero can add to an army's offence and defence? (Through skills and attributes)
3. 50-100%
Q3. Should Heroes be able to have side-kicks/henchmen (enhancing skills or giving Hero new abilities) or war machines?
D. War machines.
Q4. What should decide which spells a Hero have access to (barring artifacts or scrolls which can give heroes additional spells):
4. 2 combined with 3. That is the hero can cast the spell a certain amount of times after the structure is taken by enemy.
Q5. Which level of diplomacy do you want in the game?
2. Fixed allies on the Map.
Other ways of diplomacy will only focus the player on how to guard against “allies” passing through his territory, making alliances, which wont last and it’s not that kind of game. it can be pretty unfair.
Q6. Assuming you have diplomacy which of the following do you want.
C. Ability to trade by making a give/want offer.
Demanding won’t do the trick beacause there wont be a penalty for attacking someone who’s already complied.
Q7. Assuming you can trade with other players which of the following do you want tradeable (some of these would be limited depending on the diplomatic stance between the players):
D. Heroes held for Ransom by enemy.
F. Normal resources.
H. Creatures.
Q8. How much should a Hero minor artifact be able to add to an army's offence, ranged attack or defence?
2. 10-20%
Q9. Stacking creatures:
3. Creature stacks should work as before.
Q10. How many Towns would you like to see:
5. 8 or more.
Terrible loss are the H III towns for H IV. other towns are also worth for consideration (aquatic, dark elf, desert). God knows there are IMPORTANT mythological creatures who havent taken part in heroes series so far.
Q11. How many creatures (counting upgrades) in each town?
2. 9-12 (H2)
I’d vote for this, whithout any upgrades, that is. The H IV system “only one creature per level” can be used. Other option is to have more creatures per town, if the game includes upgrades.
Q12. How many upgrades for each creature in town? (Edited to clarify: It's the number of upgrades for the individiual creature and not the total amount of upgrades of creatures which is asked for.)
3. Each creatures should have between zero and three upgrades. (H2 style)
Yeah, but mostly 0. Only occasionaly 1, and very very rarely two upgrades.
Q13. Magic Schools and Towns
2. Use 3-6 magic schools, and let each towns produce spells in about 50% of them.
Towns can produce spells depending on their “culture”, affecting schools, and individual spells also. (e.g. Armageddon is very likely 2 b found in Inferno)
Q14. How many levels for spells?
2. 5
Q15. How do you want the magic schools?
3. Dedicated schools but some spells are shared between schools (H3)
The most common spells.
Q16. Should there be spells for....
B. Spells directly affecting cities.
E. Summonng guards to Mines (H2 style)
Q17. Which of the following do you want to see during a siege of a city.
A. Shooting turrets. (Either fixed strength, or increasing strength depending on which day the turret was built)
D. Traps and moats harming attackers.
E. Grail creature defending town.
F. Specialized defence strutcure. (Could be dealing damage to attackers each turn, or summoning town defenders, or possibly animating slain creatures to skeletons and the like.)
G. Catapults to break down walls and gate.
H. Attackers can scale the walls without having to ruin them.
What will an attacker do if u kill his catapult?
Q18. How many secondary skills for heroes?
2. 20-29
Q19. How many skill levels for the secondary skills?
2. 4.
Q20. How tightly should skills depend on each other.
2. Losely connected with groups.
3. Strongly connected with groups and, prerequisites within group. (H4)
May I say, moderately connected with groups.
Q21. Should Hero class depend on secondary skill?
2. Hero class should decide which skills are offered, and restrict certain skill from being offered. Hero class should be derived from parameters other than the secondary skills.
Q22. Assuming there are skill groups. How many skills in each group?
2. 4 skills.
Q23. Should creatures require upkeep?
2. No.
Q24. Do you want the one build/day limit to stay?
1. Yes.
Q25. Which restriction on mixing creatures and heroes in armies do you prefer?
2. All armies have at least one Hero.
Q26. Which limit do you want for recruiting Heroes?
1. No limit, as long as you can place Hero in an army or garrison. (H3)
Q27. Should Heroes in basic classes start out identical?
2. No.
Q28: Should heroes have specialties?
1. Yes (like in H3)
It gives them more character.
Q29: If the answer above is yes should they:
A. Enhance secondary skills
B. Offer bonuses to certain creatures
C. Offer proficiency with certain spells
Q30: Maximum City Hall weekly income should cover
2. 50%-75%
Q31. How important is a Random Map Generator in first release to you.
2. Very important.
Q32. How important is multi player in the first relesase?
4. Not important.
Q33. How important is an improved map editor (compared to the feature level in H4?
3. Important.
Q34. How important is possibility to modify the game, with custom graphics, sounds or similar?
4. Not important.
Q35. What do you think of Fog of War?
2. Take it away.
I think making anything optional will only make everybody play the game very differently from others.
Q36. What do you think of mobile guards?
2. Take it away.
We don’t want a powerful stack kill your heroes early in the game in front of your castle.
Q37. Do you want "line of sight" rules to restrict vision on the adventure Map?
1. Yes
Q38. [Added Dracos's Qquestion] How do you deal with heroes who retreat/surrender in battle?
3. Retreat/surrender puts you in tavern but to buy back you need to spend recruitment cost plus an additional 5-10% cost per level.
My question: Should there be different background for each town type?
1. yes.
2. no, it should depend on the terrain where the town is located.
My answer: YES!

Q1. The Hero Role.
5. Other. Please specify.
Umm, actually my preferred answer would be both. I really like the way it's done in Age of Wonders:Shadow Magic and I think it could be converted to a more HoMM like system. Maybe with the Wizard becoming your "Hero" and the Heroes become your "Lieutenants" or something like that.
Q2. How much is it reasonable that a Hero can add to an army's offence and defence? (Through skills and attributes)
3. 50-100%
Q3. Should Heroes be able to have side-kicks/henchmen (enhancing skills or giving Hero new abilities) or war machines?
Ummm... I'm not sure what you mean by henchmen. I like the War Machines so I think again my answer would be both.
Q4. What should decide which spells a Hero have access to (barring artifacts or scrolls which can give heroes additional spells):
1. Any spell the Hero has learnt in the game (H2 - H4 style)
Q5. Which level of diplomacy do you want in the game?
3. Dynamic alliances can be formed during the game.
Q6. Assuming you have diplomacy which of the following do you want.
A. Several levels of diplomay like: War, Hostile, Unknown, Peace, Trading Treaty, Alliance
C. Ability to trade by making a give/want offer.
D. Ability to threaten hostile actions unless demands are met.
Q7. Assuming you can trade with other players which of the following do you want tradeable (some of these would be limited depending on the diplomatic stance between the players):
A. Towns.
C. Flagged Map Structures. (Mines etcetera)
D. Heroes held for Ransom by enemy.
F. Normal resources.
G. Changed diplomatic stance towards players.
Q8. How much should a Hero minor artifact be able to add to an army's offence, ranged attack or defence?
1. 10%
The key to this one is the word "minor"
Q9. Stacking creatures:
3. Creature stacks should work as before.
Q10. How many Towns would you like to see:
6. 10 or more.
Variety is the spice of life!
Q11. How many creatures (counting upgrades) in each town?
4. 17 or more.
See above, I like Variety
Q12. How many upgrades for each creature in town? (Edited to clarify: It's the number of upgrades for the individiual creature and not the total amount of upgrades of creatures which is asked for.)
3. Each creatures should have between zero and three upgrades. (H2 style)
Kinda like WOG's Level 8 upgrades of Level 7 creatures, I like that, but not automatic
Q13. Magic Schools and Towns
3. Use 3-6 magic schools, and let each town produce some spells for each school (H3 style)
Q14. How many levels for spells?
3. 6-7
Q15. How do you want the magic schools?
1. One generic school with spells open to all, and then additional dedicated schools with unique spells.
Q16. Should there be spells for....
A. Global spells affecting all creatures (possible in radius from a Hero or a Town)
B. Spells directly affecting cities.
C. Summoning creatures outside combat, which you can keep.
E. Summonng guards to Mines (H2 style)
A I like, B-as long as it's not too drastic or crippling, unless they are difficult spells to obtain; C and E- both of these as long as there is some sort of cost. Like leaching of your mana resereves which would be used for casting all of those non-combat spells.
Q17. Which of the following do you want to see during a siege of a city.
A. Shooting turrets. (Either fixed strength, or increasing strength depending on which day the turret was built)This is good
B. Turrets, but player must place own shooters in it.-This would work also
C. Garrison mage/tower casting spells.
D. Traps and moats harming attackers.- Only if they are less predictable then on homm3
F. Specialized defence strutcure. (Could be dealing damage to attackers each turn, or summoning town defenders, or possibly animating slain creatures to skeletons and the like.)-This is interesting
G. Catapults to break down walls and gate.
H. Attackers can scale the walls without having to ruin them.- could be creature specific and only available to a few types
I. Attacker is able to destroy town structures. (If completely destroyed then the defender has to rebuild them.)I don't like this, they could maybe be damaged and disabled for that battle, but not so they would have to be rebuilt.
Q18. How many secondary skills for heroes?
5. 50 or more.- As long as they actually DO something measurable.
Q19. How many skill levels for the secondary skills?
1. 3 or less.
Q20. How tightly should skills depend on each other.
3. Strongly connected with groups and, prerequisites within group. (H4)
This is one of the things I like about H4. I'm not sure how it was in H4, but I don't think there should be a limit to the number of skills you can have.
Q21. Should Hero class depend on secondary skill?
2. Hero class should decide which skills are offered, and restrict certain skill from being offered. Hero class should be derived from parameters other than the secondary skills.
Q22. Assuming there are skill groups. How many skills in each group?
Any of the above, whatever works best for the each group
Q23. Should creatures require upkeep?
1. Yes.-But then there needs to be more ways to earn that which is needed then just a mine.
Q24. Do you want the one build/day limit to stay?
1. Yes. or something a bit more dynamic like on AoW:SM where you can't necessarily built something each day, I mean how realistic is that?
Q25. Which restriction on mixing creatures and heroes in armies do you prefer?
3. Creatures can move around without Heroes. (H4 style) Again I like this, just as I like the idea of said creatures advancing in levels of some sort.
Q26. Which limit do you want for recruiting Heroes?
5. Other. Please specify.
I think there should be one/week per tavern but taverns shouldn't be within the towns they should be outside structures. There should be some other type of recruitment within the city, I don't know what.
Q27. Should Heroes in basic classes start out identical?
2. No.-That is VERY boring and unrealistic we are all a product of our past and individuals.
Q28: Should heroes have specialties?
1. Yes (like in H3)
Q29: If the answer above is yes should they:
A. Enhance secondary skills
B. Offer bonuses to certain creatures
C. Offer proficiency with certain spells
D. Other Miscellaneous, Adventure Map, Economical\Town advantages (please specify)
All of the above
Q30: Maximum City Hall weekly income should cover
Note: Considering all dwellings and upgrades built
This would depend on whether or not creatures have an upkeep cost. If they do then your weekly income needs to be more, if not less.
Q31. How important is a Random Map Generator in first release to you.
1. It decides whether or not I buy the game.
2. Very important.
This is one of the MOST IMPORTANT issues
Q32. How important is multi player in the first relesase?
1. It decides whether or not I buy the game.
2. Very important.
This would be THE MOST important!!
Q33. How important is an improved map editor (compared to the feature level in H4?
2. Very important.
(For this Q. please disregard some serious weaknesses in the H4 map editor such as sub-par help system, bugged non-working scripts and so on. Assume that the editor features present in H4 was working as they should.)
Q34. How important is possibility to modify the game, with custom graphics, sounds or similar?
3. Important.
Q35. What do you think of Fog of War?
3. Make it an option. (Select when Map is started.)
Q36. What do you think of mobile guards?
3. Make it a selectable option.
Q37. Do you want "line of sight" rules to restrict vision on the adventure Map?
Unsure of what you mean
Q38. [Added Dracos's Qquestion] How do you deal with heroes who retreat/surrender in battle?
1. Retreat and surrender bring you to the nearest castle (H4)
But I think you should have to resurrect the hero through some sort of payment.
If you have more questions pur them in this topic. If there is enough interest in this topic a new poll will be started. (I'll not add in additional questions after this one.)

Seems there are some questions on this poll, so I'll try to answer them as best as I can without starting a debate.
Sir Stiven:
Q12. How many upgrades for each creature in town? (Edited to clarify: It's the number of upgrades for the individiual creature and not the total amount of upgrades of creatures which is asked for.)
1. All creatures should have one upgrade. (H3 style)
2. All creatures should have two upgrades.
3. Each creatures should have between zero and three upgrades. (H2 style)
4. No upgrades in towns. (H4 style, but could still be improved creatures due to say Leaders idea or creature XP.)
5. Read above... a mix between upgrades and other choices
This answer is a special case of choice 3.
On Q29. No need to make an E alternative for this one. Just include A, B, C, D. (It was a check all which apply option.)
Puggins:
Q8. How much should a Hero minor artifact be able to add to an army's offence, ranged attack or defence?
2. 10-20%
This is an ambiguous questino- how many minor artifacts would a hero be able to hold? If the answer is "only one", then my answer would be higher.
=> AFAIK Heroes have always been able to carry several artifacts, though how many, and the slot division have changed between the Heroes version. This a question about the power-level of a minor artifact, and should be compared to the answers on the question about the power level of Hero skills and attributes.
=> When looking at your answer to Q2 and Q8 I have to conclude that artifacts will rule the game you want, because hero might skills and attributes doesn't add more than a minor artifact would.
Q10. The question is about the number of pickable town factions (Castle, Rampart, Tower, Stronghold and so on). Not how many towns the "map maker" should include on the Map.
Q16. Balance will be an issue, as it's always in this type of game. AoW2:SM has most of these and while it would probably require some form of public-beta test or similar to get this right. These things do add a lot of replay value to the game, since they do open up alternative ways of playing the games. The question is more about if this is the best way to add strategy to the game, or if you feel there are other things which would add more replay value and fit better into the Heroes game.
Madmartigan:
Q16. Should there be spells for....
A. Global spells affecting all creatures (possible in radius from a Hero or a Town)
B. Spells directly affecting cities.
C. Summoning creatures outside combat, which you can keep.
D. Altering the adventure map.
E. Summonng guards to Mines (H2 style)
(is "no to all" an option?)
=> Yes, forgot that choice. Simply write "No to all" as you did.
Svarog:
"Q6. Assuming you have diplomacy which of the following do you want.
C. Ability to trade by making a give/want offer.
Demanding won’t do the trick beacause there wont be a penalty for attacking someone who’s already complied."
=> Says who? Naturally, there will be limitations to the demanding player if demand is met.
SapphireRavyn:
Q37. Do you want "line of sight" rules to restrict vision on the adventure Map?
Unsure of what you mean
=> The question asks whether removing the shroud by scouting should be able to see around mountain ranges and similar map objects which "realistically" would obscure vision.
=> As it is so far in heroes games, you get X squares of Shroud removed centered on the army, no matter how the surrounding terrain looks.
I'll be editing this post and add a summary of the Poll so far, when I get the time.
