Quote: 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.
5760*1200 hmm, that's probably not a much used resolution
But they could make a 1900*1200 version and then scall it down to each lower resolution with antialiasing and exact pixel color calculation. This could even be made in real time, an averadge computer has the needed power for it nowadays. Best would be to also add some real lower resolution graphic files to make it also work for slow computers. But probably the games 3D view will not work anyway on "slow" computers, so maybe just a high resolution 2D town screen that would be resolution adapted would be enough.

Lol you think that's ranting? hahaha
Then you should read some of Nightterrror's legendary posts. Ahh those are brilliant...
Well in either case it gives you no excuse to start telling people to get laid. As far as I know there is nothing in the CoC that says people aren't allowed to rant...

Know me before you accuse me. I'm also the one who's been giving the most praise to the game and been defending it when almost every other was bashing over other matters.

Im with Kodial on this one... 2D screens are pretty lame for me and town window is just downgrade from that. I understand that they want to speed up the game but this is not the way to do it. Total hype killer for me.

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.
Hehe, agreed. ("Hey, look, he actually sounds like human too. High Five!") .
I'm worried about towns also.

Sounds like human?
You didn't just call me a troll now, did you, Mr. Ilikemyfingernailstrimmed?
I'm not worried about towns anymore. I'm convinced they're gonna suck even worse than those of H4. So knowing this, it's useless to worry about them.

from official site forum FAQ thread:
Will there be any town screen?
And the answer is: YES, totally. In the demo shown in Colonia, they used a temporary screen. The final one is said to be in 2D, more like H3 and H4 and not as complex as the H5 ones. Erwan Le Breton, the game producer, said it himself:

Oi, oi not as sucky as the H4 ones anything but that ... still hearing that there going to be windowed just saddens me, at list should be made like the ones from H3 but for HD resolutions ... o and if anyone wants to experience what a windowed Heroes looks like just install the HD patch for H3 and set it to a rez. higher than the standard 800x600, ... pfff windowed screen seriously man, especially seeing all the wonderful models for both adventure map and battle screen a windowed screen for town ...
P.S. To speed up multiplayer is that a reason to be used as an excuse? but I guess they had to say something for ditching even full screen 2D animated screen towns

Can't really say I like the idea of a town window instead of a screen, it just doesn't really feel like actually "entering" the town if it's only a window. Also how much can they fit in the window? The town screen usually needs to be big to fit all the structures.

No. These "things" aren't worthy to be called Town Screens.
Town Windows. That's what we'll call them from now on.

H5 ones weren't townscreens either, they were dull screensavers.

guys guys, please please stop this nonsense, there is no official news whether it will be a "Window" or a "Screen Saver" 6 months news can be revised now. Seriously, even the first debut screen showing Crossbowman being level 1 instead of "Core" Tier.
I have better idea, ever heard of meditate? it said to calm you mind. now, take a deep breathe, you can do your meditation while watching this:

The "town window" info is OLD, there is no confirmation that there will be no real town screens.
About this 3D vs 2D thing - give it a break already!

I'm afraid that when I click on the "2011. march 1. 6pm CET" link in 2 hours all I will see is the screenshot of the day and 3 "concept arts" for artifacts (the ones of the oficial site).

dang you got me there.
Can someone please bring me up to speed as to what is potentially being revealed today at 6pm CET? Also, what timezone is CET (in terms of GMT)? Thank you.
With regards to townscreens, I don't think a window vs fullscreen would matter too much, but in retrospect I do hope they stick to non-rotating townscreens like homm3. The homm5 ones were cool the first time I saw them, but I think the 2d really lets you see that you're adding on sections. Hopefully it has a 3d "feel" but can't be rotated.

I'll be happy if the town screens are well drawn and are quicker to load in and out of than the ones in Heroes V.
