I think the Heroes 5 Demo brings big hope to TOH
Who has played the Heroes 5 demo yet?
It gives a totally different impression over the beta. I feel more positive about the full game coming out now. I could list all the good things but it'd take forever.. What are your thoughts?

I installed the demo, and played for hours... I love it. Of course, when I'm inspired, it means that there will be more love & care given to ToH's upcoming homm5 evolution 
But the duel mode seems erratic, so I'm still wondering, if it should be implemented somehow into the main rankings??

Ya.. Id say leave duel mode alone for now or make it a side tourney.
But the game is shaping up good and I cant wait to leave work and play it. Just need to start spreading TOH's name to all the new players who will be coming.. looks like a lot of people are taking an interest to the game.

Top Notch.
Hey there.
- I have just downloaded the Demo and I really think it looks great. Of course there are a "lot of getting used to/ new game things" out there but over-all great work.
- As Jb239 mentioned : I could list all the good things but it'd take forever. Agreed! But I think we need to mention the boo-boo's ( in a positive way ) and go from there to get a really... really good,solid and above all stable online game. I know there are going to be some patches ( only my thoughts ) So thats why I think we should start by listing some of the things we don't like as much.. to increase the overall gameplay.
- I'd start. Going into town.. it switches to "cinematic" even though I have it turned off. The learning of spells, have to go inside a town and out and it shows in flashes "lightning Blot"... fades.. new one.. etc. <-- This may be me and my old computer so dont flame asap
- What else is out there ?
- Guz

I love the demo !! Heroes V looks GREAT !!
I played H3 for a very long time, befor i left it for some MMORPGs affter a fiew years and the big disapointment that H4 was for me.
Affter Playing intansively the demo for the last 2 days now, i can say that H5 is définitively the game i hoped H4 would be befor it came out.
Ubisoft / Nival / and probably the fans who got it delayed saved heroes !! praise them all !!

Some people on the Ubisoft forum were having that problem.. perhaps check there to see if anyone figured out the cause of it.
But as for the problems with the game.. Some of the menus aren't so user friendly and it takes too many clicks to do stuff.
Another thing that bugs is the camera angles.. Sucks when you switch from normal to underground and the camera angle follows.. they need their own individual angles that dont change when you switch from normal to underground.
Ive also read that the beta isn't the final version so there will be some final tweaks done to it for when the game is officially released.

All I can say is that I'm hooked.
Too bad I'm not so high on Duel mode though.
Game looks fantastic on 1280x1024, with high details, and somewhat playable on my machine. Though, it is slow, so for online gaming would have to turn off most of visual enhancers and switch to 800x600 or lower.

I'm very happy to hear this. I was hoping HoMM V would spark a new wave of life into online tourney sites....but I wasn't sure if it would. Haven't played the demo yet but I cant wait!

Can someone please post the required specs here? I did some looking for the min specs a couple months ago and didn't find a single ounce of information about it so gave up looking. Just built a brand new PC about 4 months ago and it blazes on all the games I play now but may need to fire up the SLI to really do this game justice.

Don't quote me on these.. but..
Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows 2000/XP, DirectX 9.0c April 2005
CPU: Pentium 4 1.5 GHz / Athlon 2000+ or higher
RAM: 512 MB or higher
Video: 128 MB AGP GeForce4 Ti4200 / RADEON 8500 or higher video card
CD/DVD-ROM speed: 32x
Sound: DirectX compatible PCI 16-bit sound card
Of courese the recommended is more, but if you atleast got these you should be able to play. I basically have all this, cept my cpu a lil higher and it plays fine for the most part.. I just want more ram.

Hey.
- I have to agree on the camera angle / toggle thing , jb239. Also I have just finished my 3rd Falcon map settings ( as Inferno ) and every time the PC has sat their Inquisitors just on top of the menu ( lower right side ) and I had to turn angle ( combat setting if you will ) to see anything all three times, all I really could see was that there were 35. I dont know if it's just me and my poor skills/ all in all but seems like an enhancement(s) of the radial menu vrs. small creatures to me. I know it's probably a tiny bug.. or whatever but still.
P.S. I attacked the PC in their Castle the three times.
- As I mentioned before learning spells ( the fade of one spell to another. etc.) Same "annoyning" thing is at the thieves guild when buying artifacts .. You have bought... Dont get me wrong it looks great but in the end a bit tiredsome and unnessecary in my oppinion.
- But what a game...
- Guz
- PP.S. When I switched to 1200x my speed actually went up and I got a better and faster game.

So far there are a few issues:
1. The seemingly random ATB bar placement at the start of combat
2. Luck
3. Morale
In addition, creatures do way too much dmg imho.
Examples:
-100 elves kill 100 elves in 1 attack, even though they have almost equal attack and defence values + it was a long range attack.
- 20 champions/paladins (upgraded lvl 6) kill 15 wraiths (upgraded lvl 6) in 1 hit (charge + hero with charge specialization - it still feels too powerful - and it was without luck!)
The thing that annoys me the most is the ATB placement at the start of combat. This seems way too random, and with the amount of damage creatures do in h5 it is critical to get the first hit.
It seems a bit silly that a fight of 100 elves vs 100 elves can end with no losses for the player that went first (which is quite random). I get the feeling that Nival made the game "more fast paced" to please the RTS/FPS kiddies by increasing damage values and adding extreme randomness.
Redoing a fight in the exact same way 10 times should NOT give several completely different outcomes. Where is the strategy?
