I don't wanna argue with anyone, I just want to give my point of view about town screens.
When i play HoMM3, the town screen is one of the most important thing for me. Even if i offten only bring a fiew seconds on them each round, the picture of it gives me the feeling i am there, and i'm a part of it. Even when i don't see the town screen and i'm just on the map, the picture is still "with me", in my head, and it just gives me a great feeling about my hero and the part he plays in "his world", wich is mostly represented by the town screen. Look at the great swamp/wilderness picture from H3 fortress for exemple, it just makes you feel you are there and be a part of it, and makes you want to fight for your town/faction ! The music of course also adds a lot to that feeling.

3D or 2D, that isn't important (i preffer 2D), what we need are nice colored FULL SCREEN town screens !

Guys, I'm here and I'm listening no reason to all shout in my ear Yes as far as I know town screens won't be full screen(as long as we don't get our way), no there will not be mage guilds due to the way the skill system works nor warmachines so blacksmith may not be needed either. But seriously why all the drama about marketplace, town portal being part of the 4 unique buildings, no individual unit dwellings in town etc etc? Who said anything about those?

I'm sorry I could not be here earlier but I'm trying my best to keep things tidy and updated. And you can bet we'll reach 400 pages for a third time in the future, I'm not done yet Still have to go through some 300 pages or so.

Another thing of importance, don't trust release dates from online stores. If the release date was decided ubi would have told you first, for now just let them do their job. Last thing we want is another H5 release..

^ I wonder this as well (just as everyone else I can imagine)

By the way, I hope you're not removing any of my ancient discussions with veco and Nightterror from this thread. Those are dear memories and of historical value that gives proof to a past greater age.

I think it's more probable that we'll see the fifth faction posted on some gaming website, just like the last time.

I don't care about it being leaked or posted somewhere.  I'm excited to see what they do for the announcement.  Stronghold's video was very exciting, even if Erwan's impression of an orc didn't quite fit with his lanky figure.

I don't believe I got an answer to a question I posted a while ago, though:  The twelve different player colors - will they all be available in-game, or is that merely a vestige of the engine Black Hole used to create the editor?  I know we'll only have eight players maximum, but sometimes I want to play as Black, y'know?

I think your q was answered in Hungarian Q&A - there will be max of 8 players. That screenshot was taken from editor made for another game and used in Heroes s I remember.

I know about the maximum number of players.  My question still stands, though - will we have the option to choose which of the twelve colors we want to use for those eight players?

I think you didn't understand his question. He asked if there will be more than 8 colors to choose.
I guess that it will not be possible. I mean, it wouldn't make sense for you to have only 8 players and more than 8 colors, if you would never use them all. Preparing the game for that would consume time to the developers, and I don't see them wasting time for something useless.

Would it consume time?  Seems to me it's just a matter of palette-swapping.  And if the colors are already in the editor, I don't imagine it would take more time to leave the colors in than to take them out.

Personally, I never understood why you couldn't change your player color and keep your player location.  It always seemed to me that it would be simpler by far to organize player locations on the map by "Player #" rather than "Player Color".

But in the end, what I'm asking is whether or not Black Hole has left those colors in the editor for us to use.  There might not be any reason for them use those other colors in the campaign or in their multiplayer maps, but if map-makers had the option to use them, it would add some utility to what currently appears to be a fairly useful editor.

EDIT:  And it's not useless; not entirely, anyway.  It's just something that has purely aesthetic value, which some players might find worth using.

Yes, but we also saw how they converted Town Screens into town windows

Hello!

I will skip the Town Window like it have never been mentioned.
I dont know if anyone have proposed this or mentioned it. I would like from the game developers to implement, when in the town building and stuff, when you build a dwelling for example the Graveyard in the Necro town there will be animations of the creatures there like skeletons coming out of the graves, Dragons going out of the cave, flying then going back inside. This kind of detail is kinda important for me esp for the Heroes series. In HoMM1 the creatures were standing near their dwellings in order to show what kind of creature is "made" there. In the other HoMM games the buildings are "Empty".
What do you think about that? I hope it is different in HoMM6


PS: Sorry for Bad English but I am sure people understand me

Hi Castlevania;

Wasn't your idea implemented in H5? I thought it was O.O
Well, I like the idea, but unfortunately it probably won't be implemented in H6 because of... that thing I'm forbidden to talk about because of the recent rage

And I understood your post clearly

370? Elvin, calm down a bit and take a rest

But that's also the reason why the discussion is taken on a different thread of the news.
