Idea for a Town Screen
just saw a video of main menu of Heroes6 beta..
and suddenly got enlightened..
that would have been amazing for a Town Screen!!!
no really..
just look at it..>
Your Hero model will be in the left side of the screen fully 3D..
and that will make you actually feel that the Town is yours..
you are the King! the Lord!!!
Also the model will show which path did you take Blood or Tears, so you know you are "the bad guy" or "the good guy"
In the background on the right side will be your magnificent Town!
with the buildings appear on it whenever you build them..
You won't be able to fly over it like it was in HoMM5,
but that's fine! as buildings should be interactive and accesable!
you will see griffins flying over your castle for Haven
meteors falling from the sky for Inferno and etc.
this animations will make your Town feel even more alive..
And the music.. oh the music will just make it feel EPIC!!!
not to forget to mention that all of that beauty should be full screen!!!
so whenever you enter your town you feel a jawdropping !!!WOW!!!

I think it would be better without the hero in the picture. Cause it is pretty big and the castle is like a background image. But the castle's model in this image is pretty nice and it would be good to have it as the town screen.
Alci posted somewhere a screenshot he has taken from the video and suggested it would be a nice town screen. And I prefer it. Hope he will put it here too.

would like to see that pic' that Alchie posted!!!
i kinda like the idea of having Hero model!
i mean Dev's are aiming for New stuff! so why not try it with a Hero model!?
Not the Town-Pop-Up-Window that we currently have!
As i said that will give a clear view of the true Lord of the Town!
And i see it as a nice addition to atmosphere of the Town, a "proove" that all that beauty is ruled and belongs to YOU, the HERO!

No.They should change only to better town WINDOWS for more mobility and flexibility in the game.They should fix the bugs and the errors first.The gameplay is more important that the Town Screens and should be the first priority.With good balance and gameplay the game will last many years (like Heroes 3 or Blizzard's Starcraft).

That's a matter of taste. While it wouldn't exactly be satisfactory, I would rather see a nice image like this with a clear and understandable UI overlay - even if it doesn't have animations or change when you build new stuff - than what we have now.

@ Alcie !
i LOVE that image!!!! and it makes absolutely clear that my idea was WRONG! NO Hero model! and NO town windows!!!
the image you posted is just PERFECT for a Town Screen!! WOW!!!
@ Adriancat!
Also fixing the bugs doesn't exclude fixing the Town Screens!!!
As i know it is done by different people .. And for Asha sake they can hire an Outsourcing team who can do it!!!
As for importance, you will be surprised how many people actually care a lot about Atmosphere of Heroes game. And Town Screens are part of this Atmosphere and Identitiy of HoMM series!!!
We don't want an Turn Based Warcraft! we demand a Heroes game!!!!
I personally don't understand why should i agree to compromise on Town Screens issue, because of 1 second delay??? that's BullShhhh!
because Dev's dont have time for it??? The game have been delayed bloody 3 times already! Dev's had hips of time to fix them!!!
And if they don't they can stop being stinchy and spend some money for outsourcing!!! in the end that will bring the money back anyways!!!!!!

IMO the town windows as they are now are not only ugly they also affect gameplay, because they are hard to navigate and the icons are way too small.
Just one glance at a H3 town screen and you could tell how far it was upgraded - and the Fort Window contained all basic information of creatures. In H6 right now I find it hard to tell the difference between a building that has been built/upgraded, and one that can/can't be afforded to build. You also need to click through all creatures just to see their basic stats /:

They could probably achieve the same level of detail that was in the H3 Town Screen in a window; it seems that the main beef people have with the current town window is that you don't see the town view in any screen except the "overview" tab, which you will never use because it serves no functional purpose.
If they made the window bigger, and found a way to include the town view in all tabs, that would be better. If they could find a way to make it a full-screen view, that would be even better.
