Sometimes it's better to be silent and appear stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt ...

Wow some people really can't take critique around here. I just stated my opinion that I like the old sprites for creatures and heroes better than the new ones, but if I wan't to play HotA apparently I have to take a scholarship in modding, which I know NOTHING about. I can't be the only person here that liked the old sprites and sounds better, so I just gave a suggestion to make it possible to use both versions, is that really unreasonable???

Normally I like Stronghold but it's just really off-putting with the new creature and herodesigns.
Castle I always found kinda boring, but even more now with those bignoosed lazylooking pikemen and halbardiers.


Mild opinion at that...

husham123 and Phoenix4ever, it is okay to have your own oppinion or thoughts on something, but you seemed as people who don't like the look of these creature and who are too lazy to learn how to change defs and return to older look.

You can stop playing HotA as well if you hate these new units' looks and you are not willing to change them by yourself really.

In my oppinion Pellish summarized it properly some posts ago:

They changed the models of the orcs and pikemen for a reason. I bet they won't switch them back and most people are probably fine with that. If the models being switched annoys someone that much I suggest that person learns the basics of HoMM3 modding and manually change it back themselves.

husham, please stop cluttering the thread with junk posts. I've also received complaints about you intentionally spreading false information about HoTA and claiming to be part of the HoTA team, when you are clearly not. As I mentioned in the VW, please read the Code of Conduct and try to follow the posting rules. This your warning.

I am not lazy it's just that I have no idea how to do it. And i don't know if I can fix both creatures appearance, animation and sound and also the edited heroes.
I don't wanna stop playing HotA, I love HotA, I just want to improve on the experience constantly like I do with my own scenario, always working towards making a better experience.

I personally liked both changes, although I wouldn't mind the old ones as well. Gameplay hasn't changed at all, so I don't understand why all the fuss is about with these two. It does remind me of the 'new audience' which is a bit too fond of graphics beyond anything else.

HotA is indeed interesting, although I think I would play it more if it was made for Heroes 2. Or Heroes 4.

Well... after all those years I got used to those old appearences of the units we are talking about, but I'm okay with changes if they are good. Changes in HotA are professional and personally I like them. Although as I said, after years of playing this game I got used to the old looks, so in the beginning playing with different orcs or pikemen was kind awkward. Fortunatelly that feeling disappeared after some hours spent with HotA.

I didn't know they changed until I saw them. They are completely recognizable as what they are (which is what it's the most important thing when changing graphics in such popular games, I reckon), so I think that's ok. Didn't mind that at all. The new town is kinda gorgeous, units are fun and everything is professionally done, as you correctly put. Not wanting to disrespect WoG, but this is the sort of mod I was expecting to see for H3.

After playing it for a couple of hours, I saw that some skills were still like they were always and I got the wrong idea that we could change those at will. I have posted a huge post here, perhaps at page 109 or something like that, because I hoped to cooperate somehow. It soon transpired that this was not like WoG, where such changes would or could be done in that fashion, and now I understand why. I just hope that post hasn't come in a sour note for the HotA crew as if they weren't doing a good job, because I was clueless of what HotA really was at that time. I should apologize, actually. They did a very good job so far and I hope they'll keep improving this mod as they see fit.

Thank you Haregar, guess I'll test my luck with that...

Ok, but some peoples really need help. When I know nothing, I'd better shut up.

@Corribus
OK man, OK OK !!!!
But, please, don't penalty me

Oh, and saying I am a member of the HotA Crew, was actually because that's what I though, it was with no intention.

At least you learned something from all of this, then . No information is usually better than bad/wrong information.

As they say, "assumption is the mother of all f*ckups" (and I hope the mods will permit me to use that word here ).

Yep, there is a difference between thinking something and speak it out.

@discussion: I follow this board frequently and it just bored me to death to read stuff like this, what could be changed in below 5 minutes on your own and it was even explained how, what tool and even the included *.def file... I think the request is noted, we'll see what happens IF something happens. I can even understand why the staff is tired of reading some of these requests/balance stuff.

WELL, WELL...
I've learnt something, but you know...
I've kept writing because I wrote with my hands only, I never though of it twice before it.
Well, at least the first step was stopping spawning threads for no reason, and now the second step is to stop giving out replyes with NO DAMN SESNSE ...
My fault, but anytime you speak (Maurice) you make me to feel that I really made trouble, and your words stop me (I don't know how, but you are the kind of the good cop, and Corribus the bad cop ), and so, I will finally stop. Please, when you see a post that must be deleted or indecent, PLEASE HC Message me , I will do anything to avoid the penaltyes )

That tutorial was helpful to know how to export vanilla pikeman's .def file. It's good for the beginning.

Phoenix4ever, after you read the tutorial I posted, I highly recommend you using DEFka to import old pikemen to the game and finalizing your dream about the swap of certain units. I hope it's gonna help you.
