Hmm why does it feel like I have joined vitorsly's and War-overlord's club for positive H6 fanatics?



Do you have your membership-card & hat yet? Cause if you don't, you ain't part of the club.
For me, it was part of my membership of the SUW-club(Shut-Up-Whiners-Club). Man, last weeks meeting was awesome. Can't give away to much to the non-members, but we learned the new secret handshake. And the part with the skydiving Narwhal was Legen-, wait for it......Dary!

- I feel like someone is spying me... AHH! THOUSAND LOOKS!

I don't know if this has been confirmed before, but the Chinese articles in the news thread seems to confirm that the goofy animations from April Fools' Day are in the game. The crossbowman does his pogo stick thing and the sentinel apparently dances.

The chinese article *IS* an April Fool

If you translate it via google it makes more sense ^^

I did that and it just seemed like google was terrible at translating Chinese. Nonetheless, there are images of a crossbowman pogoing in a battlefield setting. Unless they photoshopped it, it seems promising.

edit:This is the image I'm talking about. It's from a different angle then the April Fools' video, so it's likely it's real.

This one is an April fool, this one isn't, it's "offcial(at least in China)", the agent write this article and make screenshots by themselves, then they send it to media, they have a playable demo, for tests, experience and government sector approval. It seems will be one article per faction.
This article explain some haven creature abilities effect, Speed of Light actually is Strike and Return, Cleansing Light will decrease Glories quantity.

I personally have no problem with the funny animations if they should be in the game, however they should only be triggered in extremely rare cases.

Only a little abilities explanation and more garbage. I think only the Glories abilities something new.

edit: Pacification, attacked enemy can't attack on his next action

When I first played H5 I was seriously annoyed by how you could only pick 5 skills. I knew there were abilities, racial and its perks but I just didn't like it. Not much later I already loved the new system.

Now something similar seems to be happening with the alleged low number of spells for H6. Remember that the skill structure is not the same. That the skill reset at lvl 20 will do away with undesired earlygame ones allowing you to focus on building a full-combat hero if you so desire. That certain spells that were useful in earlygame may be replaced with other more important ones.

Also how many spells did you actually cast in an H5 final battle with say a demonlord? 2-4 mass spells? Plus 2-4 single others maybe. With a warlock? Maybe a few more single ones and rarely any mass. It's all an illusion of choice. Sure you *can* cast that stone spikes, vulnerability or wasp swarm but it's not gonna change anything, they will suck. The only ones that were actually useful without mastery were raise dead(only if it meant survival), arcane crystal for its blocking properties, haste/slow for countering purposes, regeneration, cleansing(hey at least it gave you a chance) and maybe icebolt? Out of which you would only have a handful each time and they would be perfectly situational.

I am not saying this is going to be the perfect system and we'll have a huge load of spells but I'm thinking you are reading too much into it without actually knowing where things stand.

Edit:

Did I even mention magic scrolls?

Sorry for being the guy with the "no" hat again, but I just feel that once again, the only focus is being put on that one single thing, namely the final battle. Come on, this is not a game that's only aimed for 1 vs. 1 duels, is it? It's not like the total aim for the game is that one single encounter - in fact, the game style I favor, those single epic encounters take second place.

Forget all skills at level 20 to re-focus? How does that even make sense? And why is that good for tactics - so that it is no longer a tactical choice between what you will need in early game and what you will need in late game? Now you just go for all the early game stuff first and then forget it all and switch to late game? Meh.

They might have put a lot of work into the decisions they've made, and they might be consistent, but for me they seem to be all the WRONG decisions for the game I want to play. First ressources, then town screens, and now skill system.

I must Agree with alcibiades.

Fallowing the trend of eliminating everything that is commonly used in the game is not the best decision.

A Strategy game with HoMaM should not by only about picking the best option thet is out there. But picking the option that is best for the sytuation.

Ofcorce there are spells and Skills that I have used rarely or never, but still, they were usefull, and most of all they created a sort of diversity.
It is the same by skills. If I chose something and can later change it, what sence does this desicion have? Making koplex thing symplified only destroies them in my eyes, and ultimatly can lead to their omission.

Symple things can by easily omitted, because there are not esential, if they were, they would not by made in a symple form.

In the worst scenarion herous X would look like an old footbal Manager game.

Only because I made it sound like that since it is a big concern of mine. Think about it, that way you can get so many more options in the game, try so many things throughout the game. Mind you I was amongst of the first to ask that a respec should come with a certain cost/limitation else it would be a cheap feature but either way it's just that, an option. You don't like it, you forget it's even there.

Let's just face it, the way H5 worked, your creeping was what shaped the direction of your skills while your actual opponent less so. Is that fairer? Ideally skills should be useful both early AND lategame but that was not the case. Now you no longer need to carry garbage skills and focus on what you really want whether that is combat or adventure. Realm skills are incredibly useful for instance.

The beauty about Heroes V was that once you knew your faction and hero you were going to use, then you focus and strategize on how to develop your hero taking beginning-game and end-game all into account and you "mold" your hero into a super being.

In Heroes VI, taking skills away at your whim and choosing different skills later later in the game just doesn't seem that strategic...and moving away from the "chess-like" feel we all love about heroes.

Anyway, I suppose Heroes V had the memory mentor, but even such you had a price to pay for drastically changing skills..
