We're working on an official statement that will hopefully clarify the reasons of the delay and when the Beta is coming.

Hopefully they'll have a new com.dev. in place soon so the communication with the community can improve.

LOL.... Working on an official statement - translation - news will continue to be Michael , sometime in the future the beta will drop, it will probably be a leaked beta, 2 weeks after we've all played the beta, discussed it into the tiniest pieces and of course made 346 lists of what's wrong with it, then the official statement about the delay and the "upcoming" beta will come out...

@razor, if me threatening with chick genocide and saying stuff like ciuu ciuu in a post doesn't sound like a joke.... You have issues man, I was bored and I had some fun (which is pretty much true for about 97.5% of my posts), I don't really care if the entire community votes medusa as the worst ever... Irrelevant to me liking her

Question - do we have modders ? How hard is it to mod a hero ? How long does it take ? Will we need a special tool to be released by the blacksofty or is it just something you guys (the modders) invented ?

Considering they stated they want to give modders more access and support in HoMMVI then in HoMMV, and HoMMV was actually already pretty good in this respect, we can most likely expect very high quality modding content from the Heroes Community, the HoMMV modders are still active and producing amazing mods.
I myself started playing HoMMV again thanks to the "Role Playing Edition" mod which really opens up a whole new dimension of faction strategies.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of very interesting mods for HoMMVI very quickly after the game ships.

I wish crystals were red in color (HOMM II), not light blue (SC2). Mod anyone?

Edit: "Customize crystals' color" as a menu option, please!

Not being a Heroes modder myself with only several experience in Warcraft 3's Editor and modding tools:
Q: do we have modders ?
A: Yes, LotA for Heroes V if you haven't heard, Wake of God Mod for Heroes III

Q: How hard is it to mod a hero ?
A: Depends, which part? Heroes specialty? Skill tree? or merely their outer look? In Warcraft 3 (thanks to incredible world editor) you can mod spell, movement, attributes. Using some fan-made tools you can also change their outer appearance using already included model with different skin or completely create one from a scratch (in Warcraft 3 you can find many model mods for Anime character that some of them are created from scratch). in this case, you of course need to know a bit about 3D modeling and UV-mapping.

Q: How long does it take ?
A: Depends on your previous question, how much you will want to modified? some attributes change can be done easily (depends on the editor provided, ofc), but outer look requires more time, since you need to modified 3D's vertex and UV-mapping, much like comparing how long an experienced painter need to finished a Banana painting vs non-experienced or newbie finished the same painting.

Q: Will we need a special tool to be released by the blacksofty or is it just something you guys (the modders) invented ?
A: Both. Ofc, if Blachole release a good editor it would be much easier to do so, or else you need a tool to change the already set of objects and applied your "new" model via patching like methods for the worst scenario (bad uncustomized editor).

Yaelicc can rest easy, someone like Fauch will come around and make a proper Medusa.

I really hope H6 will be easily moddable, I just like admira have experience with the WC3 editor, and if the H6 editor turns out equally powerful, then the possibilities will be endless...

Wow... striking resemblance.
Thx Avirosb, really nice way to start the day.

*cough*
Uh-hum!
*serieus tone*

Actually the Demon line-up is not nearly as odd as you'd think, they are theming the various demon units to the various demon lords, all six units other then the succubus (who represents mortality's conection to demons) are themed to fit with one of the six Demon Lords.
Madness, Voracity, Pain, Proliferation, Destruction and Hate.

Which I admited could have worked better here and there, but it's not nearly as random as it seems.

A little cliche, but the seven deadly sins could have also been used, and partially overlap.
Succubus - Lust
Breeder - Sloth
Pit Lord - Wrath
Juggernaut - Pride (bit of a stretch)
Hell Hound - Gluttony
That leaves Greed and Envy untagged and the two least popular creatures of the faction unclaimed... hmm maybe I'm on to something here.


I see. So they fit the lore of H6 after all.
Though I think the champion unit should be a pride demon since they have always been described as the strongest ones (worst sin).

Provided they're gonne make it anywhere near as powerful as the WC3 editor, I could personally make it happen, even if I have to rip the model from another game as placeholder untill a good modeler makes one ofcourse.

Like from WoW
Lady Vashj could make an ok place-holder for a Medusa.
*pre-emptive*
PLACEHOLDER I SAID!

Yes. Yes, it is.
Concerning this. Whereas I often applaud the modding effort, I hope there will be less reskinned, mishmashed monstrocity mods this time around.
And I know nobody is forcing me to use them. But if the tools are there, make an effort to have it look good and proportionate.

might depend on how easy it is to merge models. though, recoloring the coral maiden will probably be enough.

some people know how it is a pain to mod effects in H5, how you need to check a billion times your model in game to make sure everything is at the right spot...
and even more funny, when you rotate the effect, it also rotates the X,Y,Z axis...

The yesterday picture is kind of nice. I like how the ghost is almost invisible in the water (or I think it's a ghost).


Looks very cool, I like how the hero is walking on pathways covered with water!

Things of familiarity:
- wood and gold pickups in the ocean
- whirlpools in the ocean (transporting to another area of map)

Strange statue in the middle of the water, wonder how hero gets to it....

Hpoe everybody had a great easter....

A cool fanmade art. The only question is: who would want to make a fan art of Maniac?

I would make Maniac -> Envy
because:  "The Maniacs cry and shriek in pain when attacking, and laugh when wounded."
So they cry when attacking because they wanted to be the ones suffering the pain
Tormentor -> Sloth
because it is so lazy that it doesn't even use an weapon, instead it uses is own body.
Breeder -> Greed
because they can produce Imps that suck mana


Also, the first news of the week isn't a Michael Pictures?!! Is Ubihole mad?!!
