I suppose Shantiri empire has been existed in The Ancient Age.
And the flying tower is a Magical Observatory. I wonder what gives you. Maybe an Ability point.

Beautiful screenshot but which is the ruined observatory of the Shantiri Empire? Also, I wonder if these caves on the cliff are just graphical details or what?

About the map, it's wrong!!
Heresh looks like a barren wasteland but it's supposed to be a beautiful vale then. The Necromancers haven't corrupted the land just yet.

About Town Screens, I'm fairly sure that they're not gonna be even half as good as those of H5, simply because they're going to be in 2D. H3 had good towns screens for 2D, in fact as good as they can get, and that doesn't say much about them. If they manage to make them just as good as H3's then fine. I won't like them but fine. But now you're telling me that they're going to be on a window mode only?
That's.... extremely disappointing. I think the game would be better off without them, rather than this half assed attempt they're trying to come up with...

What's the big deal? It makes the multiplayer games run much more smoothly and the castles will be detailed on the map.

Indeed the Shantiri crystal was named after the empire, it was pretty much a relic by the time of H5 and possibly H6 as well. Anyone remembers the sunken temple?

In the Hugnarian gamestar magazine I read that towns will be seen in a window not on the whole monitor screen. That can make the multiplayer mode faster, but also a little bit step forward. We must see first the screenshots from Town screens of course. What do you think?




that is really really disappointing for me... scrap the multiplayer! i want my beautiful town screens back!!! why did they do that??? in a window??? so it's gonna be like in the first necro video?? crap!!!

what I think he means is that if playing multiplayer, you can speed things up by also playing your town screen through a smaller window.
I dont see any sense taking the whole  2d townscreen away exept for speeding multi.

"There will be town screens, actually a town window". Not sure where I remember it from - some preview, probably. Quite likely to happen imo, considering that in the first place, supposedly there weren't going to be town screens at all, of any kind.

Underwhelming? Sure. At least for "playing-to-escape" type of fans

Oh, hey! If there were no town screens at all, then MP would run even faster! So why don't they go and do that then if that's what they prioritize?

Why don't we make the adventure map 2D too? Now that's gonna make MP run even faster!

I didn't know about this window mode town screen BS till today. 2D or 3D might in the end be a matter of a prefference, but throwing them in a window mode too? They're gonna get so bashed over it when the game comes out.

Town-wise, I can see this being the worst of the series. Few buildings and easily dismissable screens, sorry, windows. Man, it's gonna be so ridiculous when Romero's majestic themes will start playing when you open the town... window.

Sweeet... Artifacts! They look pretty.
Hmm have they ever had gloves as artifacts before? (Except for the 1 or 2 that was in H3 that took the same place as a ring)

I don't understand why some are surprised that 2D town screen is going to be a town window. After all it's 2D, so it has to have a fixed resolution. I doubt they'd make special town screen for every possible resolution and aspect ratio, 640*480 to begin with and 5760*1200 to end with.

Nagas would be ok, if it was one of 8 factions. Here we miss too much of the 'canonical' ones in favour of a new one (and not a great new one imho). Just hoping a 'factionful' expansion is coming really soon

About city-screen I believe best would be if they could implement both full, eye-candy view (I'd preferre 2D) and a simpler one as well

Dude, relax.

Kodial is entitle to b*tch around a bit(not saying that he does) seeing how he's normally the one to laugh in the face of us other when we rage about Dwarfs and H5...

I for one love hearing Kodial like this.
