Blizzard was always really slow in fixing things in WoW.  It was frustrating.

If the Beta download is 4.5 gigs, are you guys able to tell us approximately how big the actual game is?  I'm excited its that big of a file so far.



I wonder why people like to mention Blizzard so often.

"I'm excited its that big of a file so far"
SO you will have to wait longer to downlaod it? Since when do larger filesizes mean more content?



If there are going to be language packs,be sure that the game will become at least 8 or 9 GB maybe and extra 1 gb for campaigns.




Not sure why you're so cynical, but I'd say a large file can often times mean there's a good amount of content, detail in graphics, etc.  Both of those things I put a lot of value in.  And considering this is just a BETA with only a few things available, that's a good sign to me.

Somebody mentioned Blizzard b/c the topic of patch updates came up in the thread.  Its a very simple statement to say "I hope Heroes 6 releases patches & updates faster than Blizzard did for WoW."  It provides a baseline that many here can relate to.

I think the Svetlana's phrase referring to duchies not creatures. If I recall it was informed by either Elvin or Cepheus

EDIT: Facebook update on pathfinder is updated:
Pathfinder

The hero spends no movement to pick up resources, access buildings and acomplish similar actions.
Passive ability - Rank 1

There's three levels to this ability. This is only level 1, but level 2 of Pathfinder adds the movement penalty reduction on rough terrains

it looks like the unicorn was split into 2 creatures : glory and sun crusader. more exactly, it is replaced by the glory, but the sun crusader involves a horse... they could as well make an unicorn rider, though, I'm not sure an armored guy fits with an unicorn. the light elemental could also be unicorn-like actually, if I'm not mistaken, in H5, unicorn are divine creatures, like angels.
What the hell, man!

Back to Heroes, Isn't Scholar a bit to strong?

You mean just like it's always been?
Seriously, when was giving a hero a more then 20% of another higher level's hero exp, ever not rediculously powerful?
Never so strong that it broke the game, but strong enough that not having it put you at a severe disavdantage to the flexibility of an opponent that did have severel good heroes running around in addition to a really strong one.

I'd also say that the rule of discussions moving towards Blizz or Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft or WoW (yes I mentioned Warcraft and WoW seperately, because the former is in my opinion vastly superior) is a MUCH older observation, naming it after one self at this point is little more then naive hubris.

Scholar and mentoring are different abilities, mentoring increases a secondary hero's experience in proportion to main hero (50% in H6) and Scholar in H5 is learning spells from another hero.....I don't think H6 will have Scholar as an ability as learning spells requires spending ability points, so would be an imbalanced ability Scholar.

I didn't mean Godwin predated Blizz (that would be pretty stupid).
I meant Seraphim naming it after himself.

Noted.
So now what? Are you beta guys allowed to discuss newly announced abilities?

So the visions back. good to hear that.

The Architect ability sounds some how unbalanced. IT is ussefull at the beginning but it is a 3rd rank ability so good only for building up new towns in the later game.

The Sabotage skill is nice. I like it do to the fact that we can't use the same strategy to capture mines. this makes mine catching very inovativ. and is a nice combination whit Mentoring.

I find it odd that Sabotage Mine is a skill, whereas Reconstruct Mine - a task which obviously require more effort and resources if not done magically - is not, AFAIK.

Not so much if you think of it from a gameplay perspective. A good analogy would be harassing the opponent's mines that he will have to reclaim. It does make sense having a skill that forces to opponent to do something about it than one that solely works as a counter to something the opponent may or not have.

Yes, but as it says; enemy heroes can just repair the mines with no need of a counterskill, so to speak.
But then again, I'm probably wrong. 'Sabotage' isn't exactly synonymous with 'collapse'.

I don't get sabotage mine. You're going to move your level 10+ hero into an enemy zone of control and... sabotage a mine? That's all?

I'll stick with combat oriented skills thank you very much.

It's rather obvious that this is a skill for scouts/secondary heroes. Good one at that.

So we have 5 skill sets coming off the might ablities:

Paragon - Improving Hero himself
Realm - Management of Kingdom
Tactics - Affecting battlefield?
War cries - Casted by Hero onto troops?
Warfare - Improving troops on Hero?

On Realm, the Sabotage mine: obviously would sabotage an emeny mine right at the end of the turn, to maximise the movement of the hero. The sabotaging hero has to be on the mine to affect this, does the enemy hero have to go onto the mine as well to repair? Seems worthless if the mine is more than 7 days away.....unless secondary heroes haev this ability....

Exactly.  If your secondary hero with a small/moderate army is able to shut down a gold mine for 7-days that could have some big impact.  I like this skill!  

Too often in past games the secondary heroes were only useful for transporting creatures.
