By the Gods! I must be dreaming. Or the Secret Services have finally spiked the worlds watersupply with mind controll drugs.
This cannot be happening. People are actually considering actual plus-sides and possible good qualities of town windows.

You go back to ranting and raving right this instant. Start screaming how 'they iz destroying the franchise' and how 'ubi hatez the fanz'.

But seriously, I'm glad people start or are thinking things through rationally and try to see the silver lining behind the cloud. That disappointments can work out in the end.
Perhaps someday, more people will think, as I do, that outrage achieves little. And stoicism and rationality accomplishes much more.

I hope you know War-overlord that you just fueled them.
Now they will rage and write another 20 pages in the town-screen thread...

But otherwise I hope you are right, this could be the dawn of light again.

Blacksofty has psychic abilities coz everything they ever do is the complete opposite of what i would want to see (can a single sentence sound more selfcentered than this ? no it cant )

My towns would be able to rotate, have way more bulidings than in previous games and i would even go and make it a deeper town by adding screens to various buildings for example - u click on the tavern and you see a screen of an actual 2d/3d tavern with bartender, 2 heroes for hire a few other characters who can tell you about your towns history or just share legends/funny stories, and various other clickable thingies which can enrich the game experience, smth like diz (starcraft2)



Wouldnt it be cool to have more depth inside our towns ? LOL of course its a rethorical question, if u dont agree with me then smth is wrong with you which is hardly news

Some people don't know how to take a joke.
And as long as they do it there, I say let them. That's what the thread was created for. And there I'm considered a troll and a demagoge there already.
And even if I do fuel them, they will be also fueled by those who try to see the silver lining and those who have hope that it'll turn out not bad. But I agree that my joking will not make it much better.
Still I am convinced that there will be such claims and rages wether I fuel them or not.

All of which actually being weak reasons Truth be told there were a few complaints about the H5 towns and their implementation but there was an option to disable flyby camera. Personally I favour the old style more, makes towns more interactive.


I want Heroes 1 style where we see the creatures hanging around their dwelling.  It was a nice touch.

Kinda liked that. H3 had only dragons flying around rampart's dragon cliffs which added a lot to the atmosphere but sadly that was the only instance.

Now it seems like they could be doing so much with the idea of 2D town screens. The effects in a game like Clash of Heroes HD has shown us how awesome 2D games can look. Yet here's Heroes VI with a still town screen. They chose a different route with the game.

Why would I buy that?

Yea, that was cool especially since it was 1999 and those effects weren't that common back then. What is going through their heads at Ubisoft/Blackhole? And is it possible to make a connection that their unwillingness to do something is a copout?

Those aren't creatures are they? just animations, many buildings had animations if only the flickering light of candles behind the windows.
But that alone was already a nice touch.

On a positive note, I am really psyched about the outstanding art direction of the game. I must have browsed through the artwork thread several hundred times since its creation

Strangely enough, this was also one of my main objections towards H5 --> the cartoony, almost pokemon-esque unit models & animations (those gargoyles! teh horror!) got on my nerves as quickly as the overtly warcraft-y feel of the setting.
I am really glad H6 is taking a bold turn towards realism and a considerably darker mood in its graphics.

@avirosb: Hands down best post in the whole thread, all 368 pages of it. I LOL'd indeed.

I also agree that Academy H5 had the best town screen ever. I am really looking forward to seeing it evolve in H6 (wishful thinking, I know, I still belive Ubihole will ultimately come to its senses)

And speaking of H5 Gargoyles, Final Fantasy did it first:

It would be nice to see a live town for a change.

In Heroes I you had unites standing outside their dwellings. That was not only nice but also practical cause we could see where the unites were recruited. You even had a pikeman standing outside the thieves guild.

But I get the feeling that this livelynes was more and more decreeced as time went on.

For example heroes V.

no mater what town you could see anything that pointed out that something is living in it. The only example was the smoke from houses in human town. Not to mention that the heroes V towns were extremely iratating to use. I personally used only the menus. (but Still I loved to watch my town grow on the screen)

If there were just critters walking around the town in 3-7 different patterns, I think that would just blow out minds of thousand of players.

And P.s.
Academy as the best looking town in heroes V? I'll join War-overlord and TDL. The idea was nice, but I don't like how it came out.

H5 Academy was TERRRIBLE.
Horrible looking Djinn, Mage, Golem and Gargoyle.
The Gremlin, Titan and Rakshasa were cool tho.


They talking about the look of the town screen, not the creatures...

My favorite is Sylvan...the big tree, nature, sun shining through leaves....it would be difficult to have the same affect in a town window...but I've mentioned the pros to town windows already...

Hmm, new screenshot... Air, Dark and Earth elementals. Air elementals look more like storm elementals with these lightnings. But I'm much more curious about Water, Light and Fire elementals, also the Moon Phoenix (we have seen him only on a t-shirt) and redhead feathered witch. I hope next week to be revealed artworks and abilities of the neutral creatures.
