My opinion on heroes 6
Obviously, the town screens need alot of work still, and im sure most of you would agree with me there.  I heard that they will be releasing a patch update in the future with proper town screens which would be great if it was true! Something that i dislike more than the town screens, is that you cant view any creature outside of battle, just a tiny picture of their head  But i do like the new levelling up system, and that you make your own heroes! Im not too sure about the online idea though, players may take a very long time which is just boring.
The AI plays its turns much quicker in this then it did in heroes 5, which is great  All in all, i think heroes 6 is good, but it could be alot better with just a little more work put in to the town screens, more balanced factions (Inferno is clearly the worst, Necropolis is clearly the best), and something i REALLY want them to do is to be able to see the creatures outside of battle.
Thanks for reading!

You can check the units When you open the hero screen, there is a button above where the hero's reputation is. Pressing it switches to the units' stats and descriptions. Interface there could use a rework but all in good time I suppose.
The game is much smoother but yes, you can depend on some slowpokes to waste your time  However if you want to play multiplayer it should have a timer. The potential of multiplayer will be unraveled when sim turns are reintroduced.

That's the one part that either irks me or annoys me. Why spend so many resources on trees, debris and environment(which players do not mind most of the time) and be cheap(possibly lazy)on a core interface of the game? Heroes has always been known for its homonym counterparts and castles. Why not let us see the castles?

I completely agree, they could have put much more effort into the town screens in that time rather than the enviroment, but the enviroment is still very cool But town screens should be the most important visual thing followed by creatures in my opinion.

So far, I'm enjoying it. I wasn't thrilled I had to replay the tutorial but oh well. At least it was pretty quick.
The sound, graphics, and game play are enjoyable. Frankly, I don't care about the town screens. Sure, they aren't as great as they used to be, but it's such a small part of the game I can easily look past it.
I've started on the Necromancer campaign and so far I enjoy it. I find the blood or tears morality system to be pretty pointless since you are pretty much crammed into one and forced to go that route for the rest of the game.
There are a few things that really irk me:
1) Destiny's effect has me scratching my head. It never really seems to do a lot of extra damage upon activation.
2) Elementals and their ridiculously high morale. The Elemental King must be one Hell of a leader to keep his units so happy. They constantly trigger positive morale. It's a jarring change from the previous 4 games with neutral elementals.
3) Lastly, the catapult tree is still pretty damn worthless.

Only that I haven't said anything about removing them. There's a difference between low quality environment and no environment at all, and most games are doing a pretty good job at balancing them. With Heroes, however, there are priorities, and the developers should acknowledge them. In this case, castles go before environment. They are an important part of the game, therefore they need their share of attention.

I dislike how heroes recruited from the hall don't gain reputation, only the starting one does.

Totally disagree on that one! The most time I've spent in all the other homm games was in the castle looking with joy at the townscreens!

The same. Luckily there's YouTube, so I don't need to install the games just for that.

What I remember most vividly about the town screens in Heroes 3 was actually that they were a part of the faction reveal on the website before the game was released. The town screen was what "glued together" all of the seemingly unrelated creatures, while simultaneously giving the players something to look forward to.
The fact that they're missing from this game doesn't necessarily take away from the gameplay, but I won't feel nostalgic for this game until they're done properly.
That said, the gameplay is pretty spot-on, with the exception of the skill tree needing work.

I'm assuming this only is the case in the campaign?

Does it mean it can not be changed during creation of map, or later by "edit" of "done" map?
If not, this is crazy.
Also this dynasty weapons. They can not be swapped for regular ones?
Do you think they will change it?

I still couldn't launch H6 thanks to connection (firewall?) issues. It's not my game nor my computer, however, so there's not much to regret
I remember the times, though, when games worked installed directly from the box and din't need any authorization and 1-day patches.

What regular ones ? There are no weapons in game other than the Dynasty Weapons.

Oh my... This is madness!
This is completely stupid design decision, what did they do that?
So to get main hand slot I have to get this "bonuses" and then buy dynasty weapon? This is completely stupid.
Well I was quite confident that dynasty weapons are just artifacts you can buy during multiplayer game, but normal weapons are still there.
Are they serious?!
So if I disable dynasty bonuses I'm not going to get main hand slot?
And even if I get it I can not change it during a game?
Can "dynasty weapons" be put on map as a reward? Can you change them in "normal" map?
Fan Manual says that they are available in online play.
Does it mean if I play offline map with AI my main hand slot will be empty?
With this "design" every one will start with imbalanced dynasty weapon...
Once I wrote that there are no bad decision with H6, I was wrong.
Why? I could not even think some doing such thing as "This".

^ In beta, there were a lot of main hand weapons.. so I suppose they are still in the game
Btw... I would want to have the game fixed rather than having town screens...
