My Skirmish is constantly grayed out. What opens it up? Is it a bug or do you have to reach some sort of level?


You have to launch a hotseat game with only your spot as open player (close every computer player). This will not launch the map at all since you need at least 1 opponent. Leave the multiplayer mode and the skirmish icon will appear

I made a video to show how to unlock the Skirmish Mode and some of its content. Sadly the duel mode is crashing the game

So, is the Beta closing today until August 9th? I don't get what Irina wrote on Facebook, and if that's the case, I don't get why some people are reacting with "great!", "thank you!" and such!

The least I can say is that they could have alerted us before the very same day of closing..!

Presumably because they are going to rework the ballance and fix the bugs, or because current beta clients will still be viable after the break and new ones will still be able to get in.

Except that ... we have been warned one week ago that the beta would stop TODAY and would be closed for about 10 days ...

And in case you're doubting it, it was even posted in the News here : http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=24719&pagenumber=19 in the last post at the bottom of the page.

People are "happy" because Ubisoft is going to update the beta instead of letting us play with the current build (though 1.2 is A LOT better than 1.1) and because we'll get additional content.

Thanks for clearing that up, I don't read the forums everyday and I missed that crucial information. I'd have played a lot more in these days, knowing that the beta will be unavailable in the next 2 weeks, damn! Let's hope the new version will bring something great (like town screens) along with balance changes and bug fixes.

I prefer Heroes 5 town screen. They look amazing, and they were pretty functional also (everything you needed to do was easily accessible from the menu).

Yup, I agree

H6 town screens should be H5 town screens but with areas that you need to "fill" when building (much like the older Heroes town screens)

....At first it looks plain yet atmospheric but when you've fully built your town it looks awesome and majestic! A town is your base of operation and needs to be epic for the player to visit.....

eg. necro town having bats flying around tall dark steeples and spiders roaming the depths...

So what you're saying is, the town screens need to be directed by Peter Jackson.

 Wow one month out and by the time I get back Beta came and went  (from what I gather).
  After reading to catch up Town Windows remand the same way (as the screen we have seen before beta lunch) and have a negative impact on gameplay (take more to load that in H5).
  Some elementals share model with units (Water and light)
  Game even in beta can become un-playable (I would be horrified to think that the game was supposed to be released in spring and how would have come out)
  Unbalance between core and champion ...

  What else is there ... well all this put together with the fact that it's like 6-7 weeks till lunch date makes me wonder what will get or if will get a new postponement till December (of which i approve as long as we get a stable and well optimized game)
 Also I haven't relay looked in on the whole optimization of the game how well do it look and play in minimum or medium and high details  and what the lowest PC someone tried it on (just curious if I have to goo out of my way to upgrade my gear).

   P.S. Aosaw statement regarding Town Screens on page 473 is in line with my sentiments regarding the matter, don't really want to upset anyone but H5 for was the best Town screen in Heroes series with all it's ups and downs.

 To close up hope the guys at Ubihole get in 5 gear and make it playable by the 8th of September ... this year

You have to be kidding !    

While they were ok graphics wise, they took a whole lot of time to load each time, and added to slow down the already damm slow game even more !

Homm3 town screens were the best for me,  graphics wise and also speed wise, plain and simple...  and they were full screen of course...

I guess that depends on the specifics of your computer. I didn't have a particularly high-end PC when playing H5, but I never once thought that it took unreasonable long time to load the town screens. And I had plenty of delay elsewhere when playing that game!

While some of the H5 town screens lookeds great (and some didn't don't),
It felt like I was putting things on top of other things rather than "actually" "building" a town.
Like decorating a xmas tree or whatever (a really big tree in the case of the Sylvan).

The Heroes 3 townscreens are the best, hands down.
However the Heroes 5 townscreens were really cool, it was just that I didn't like the layout of many of them. They were so "excessive" imo.
For example I hated both Academy, Inferno and Sylvan.
But I really liked Haven, Stronghold and Dungeon(though the H3 Dungeon is 1000x times better).

The most baseless argument I have ever read. Too many seconds? LOL,why do you even play games? They take whole hours to play.
The argument for removing them was the most idiotic argument ever used in the world,obviosuly for marketing reasons.
RUSH THE GAME TO THE MOUTH OF THE CUSTOMERS!!!  
RUSH IT OR I HAVE YOUR HEADS TO THE BLOOD GODS!!!

I enjoyed townscreens because they were simply beautiful.What a pathetic step backwards from H5 ubi made.


I am still hoping they release a better furnished game but "Hope is the first step on the road to dissapointment"

For me, whether or not I'll buy the game currently depends on these 3 factors:

1. Town Screens. The current ones **** up the atmosphere.
2. Modability. If the game is something that I'll play past a few months, it will either need BIG expansion packs, constant flow of free DLC or the ultimate: Modability.
3. Duel mode. A good duel mode could turn this into the kinda game that I could play casually online instead of spending days in Hotseat. I prefer quick bouts.

If those are satisfied, I'll definitely consider buying it. Right now my thought on the game are like "H6... meh." No real negative feelings but I have no hype whatsoever. It's just... not creating any emotions.

Yeah. H5 townscreens are epic for me. Much much better than H3 ones.

The Heroes V town screens were definitely more epic.

I still liked the ones from Heroes 3 best.

I think, ideally, I would like to see the architecture from H3 rendered in full-scale 3D like it was in H5.  I know that's not going to happen, but I can dream.
