Improved town design - what do you think?
Shouldn't there be some town design inprovements in H6?
My ideas are:
1.Create different town design according to are they in the underground or are on the surface, for example: it felt a bit weird in HoF's third mission in dungeon campaign. There was a haven town underground. And when u enter it u see the beautiful sun. Weird and ridiculous 
2.Make new town designes according to their biographis. It would make the game much more realistic  and much more cool to look at 
3.Add town inhabitants. Not my idea, saw it somewhere and liked it 
4.Make some different designes according to nearby map objects. For example if it doesn't look stupid to enter the haven town and look and that river when there is no trace on the water near the town 
5.This is not about the design, but...
Extend the town exploring. It has been annoying to me sometimes when I want to zoom in something, but u I wasn't able to zoom in more 
6.Creatures in dwellings to become existant! It would be really nice to for the game to have some creatures in the dwellings. What I mean is something like... For example:To add some war dancers in their dwelling and to be able for the players to see them training, fighting or something of that sort. It would be really nice methink 
Any of ur ideas are appriciated

I agree with everything. Those would be some basic additions that would add much to the feeling of the game.

I agree with everything on this list. The problem is that it's too hard and complicated to make all this.
The most necessary things, and the things that might be actually executed are parts 1, 3 and 6.
5 would be nice to have as well, but it's not that important. It's annoying that the vision has this kind of limints.

The zooming won't work, since the town designs would require too much details to make zooming actually worthwhile if you want to see details.
Other than that, yes, the town designs could need a boost.
Here's something I've been pondering it: Day/night setting?
Should day / night sky change over time? The main problem is, that your turns are in fact, days, so it makes little sense to have it be a day sky one day, and a nightsky on day 2. As much as I think it would be cool.
In any case, towns should have both an overground and underground view, at the least.

Yeah, about the night\daytime. Well, I think, if there is night\daytime in town, there should be night\daytime in the hole game

1. Good stuff, but how about different Terrain types as well (ie. lava, snow, etc.)?
2. Possibly, but not all of the towns would be any different, and what about towns that don't even use those names (is that still possible)?
3. Definitely agree.
4. Agreed, and kind of fits in with 1.
5. Not sure what you mean here, I haven't played HoMM5.
6. Isn't this sort of connected to 3?

Agreed. Where are the files located, I could probobally do that in Photoshop.

Not really an issue.

Yes.

Well, changing river status might be a bit much, but what about changing the ground/lighting? Replacing the grass with a desert can't be so difficult. It would only need a CheckUnderTerrain code and a bit more.

You can do that by editing limits in the data files.

See above: yes. And this can be done, just a lot of work, with effects.
