Hello,
Cove is great, Factory looks OK (exept T7, should have been dragon golems).

But when can we expect Kronwerk and Cathedral? I remember seeing full unit rooster for those towns completed like 10 years ago, perhaps they are not compatible with HD mod..?
It seems like progress nowdays is released at snail pace..


Well, probably never, actually. They are dismissed concepts.

In short: because these concepts were independent concepts of former HotA Team members.

Watching old hota beta screens, you can see they had dozens concepts and ideas. They chose the best of them.

I just checked them up.

I like the cathedral, the idea is good, the 500 gold per day building is interesting, but the units look bootleg.

Kronwerk is a great concept idea, but it also looks bootleg.

Although they must have been completed a while back they still aren't as polished as the cove, and the Factory will probably be much more polished then both of these previous towns.

However, who says they can't be polished enough ? After seeing the old, concept Cove (which was far from being worthy), it's pretty clear that the actual Kronwerk and Cathedral still are in a similar state as the old Cove, meaning they can both improve a lot.

Those screenshots showing Kronverk/Cathedral units (units only!) are >10 years old and are mostly mockups (not based on finished models etc.).

Ok bro i agree with you, they can be polished. If they get proper polishing both could work very well in the game.

I would also say i like the feel of the Cathedral it would fit very well in the game.

This is just plainly not true. The FAQ explicitly states that those old concepts have not been abandoned: http://h3hota.com/en/faq#14 There is no active work going on them, but the possibility of adding them in the future was never ruled out. This doesn't guarantee their future introduction at all, but one would be wrong to consider them outright rejected.


Quote:

This is also incorrect. The concepts were created by the very same people who now participate in the creation of the Factory. Both Kronwerk and Cathedral in all their many variations were primarily created by myself, Alex-ander and Agar, and we're all still on board.

This is nice . The dwarves with proper implementation would be cool (on a side note, is it possible to lower the cost of a Titan to that of a Blackie, for balance?).

Edit: some suggestions for Kronwerk: http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=43966&pagenumber=119

Quests

A good call is implement the original quests at HOTA. I will enjoy indeed.

— We are not working on rebalancing skills and magic at the moment. We already have a detailed plan for the rebalance, but for now there is enough programming to be done for the next update as it is. However, after we release Factory, skills and magic will definitely be among our first priorities.




Is there any chance you telling us even a tiny bit of what we could expect from the changes to the secondary skills in the future? I wouldn't normally even bother asking this, as these seem to be long term plans for you guys, but I've been wishing for changes to some skills since I first heard more about Hota.

Can you elaborate a little more please? What do you mean by "original quests"?

Thanks. The problem is, however, that HotA campaigns replace the older ones (at least from what I understood on forums and in the files themselves), which would make such a project probably not worthy of doing. But I might be wrong.

Also, can we continue such conversations in HoMM 3: Horn of the Abyss - Ideas and Suggestions? Those with Kronwerk and Cathedral, I mean.

I have seen some mentions of - at some point - the original non-HOTA campaigns being brought in and updated, so there is reason to think it may happen eventually. Although there was also worrying talk about adjusting the difficulty of them upward to HOTA-tier in classic C&C modder syndrome (and perhaps not really realising that HOTA is big enough that there are people playing Heroes III for their first time getting recommended it).

There you go
http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=42246

But. H3 campaigns are connected wiht lore. So, if plot is not talking about Regna story, it will be odd to see in these campaigns any things connected with Cove. New artifacts, skills, banks? They can also ruin balance set by original mapmakers. So, h3 campaigns should have massive rework made with care.

So there are such campaigns (but not by HotA team, since he seemed to be asking them to update the campaigns). Foolhardy Waywardness really needed a redo.

Not quite true: Foolhardy Waywardness does, in fact, feature Regnans, presently represented by Stronghold.
