In h2 each castle has 6 types of creatures, so what will you do with one left? And what about racials skills and buildings (especially if you remove battlecries for barbarian)?

I plan to:
1. Save only 6 levels of creatures
2. Save only 6 towns
3. Make only H2-ish upgrades
What do you think about this?

There will be problem with town-level requirement if you remove so much buildings.
I think the best idea is to add one creature level for each castle and one type of upgrade - I mean just remove alternatives and will be fine.

It sounds as a good plan, but you might still run into problems on the way. We decided to create a new 7th unit for each original castle and make upgrades for every unit in castles. So if you need inspiration for creature upgrades feel free to take a look at our mod.

There's already really much work with the mod. I don't have to add any more.
About buildings - I will remove town level requirements, at least townbuild screen will be smaller and there may be place to put HireHeroes screen in it
There will be 6 heroes classes so Barbarian won't be Barbarian at all - he'll be able to cast spells, like every other heroes but I'll add him a pack of combat abilities so he won't need to use spells anyway.
About racial buildings - it IS a problem but I gonna try to make every of them existing in the game.
About heroes classes and penalties - I won't be able to have one type of heroes (neutral) as the heroes won't generate creatures of their towns. There will be 6 types with classical terrain boosts -
Knight - Grass (Haven)
Sorceress - Grass (Sylvan)
Warlock - Swamp (Dungeon - changed texture  )
Necro - Lava (Inferno)
Barbarian - Dirt (Necro)
Wizard - Sand (Academy)
Same with creatures. What about this?
What's more:
What about heroes' models? Classical (H2) or original (each hero has his own model)?
What about creatures' icons? Ripped, painted or made from screens of models?

1. Traces - the 'smoke' appearing behind heroes when they have great army - ok
2. Selections - the discs under heroes and creatures - ok
3. Skills - a new skillwheel - ok it's obvious
4. Spells - like in my mod ;P
5. Towns - the same as h2
6. Alternative upgrades - none alternatives
7. Interface - H2-like - definitely
8. About creatures, heroes and terrain - what about neutral heroes in whose armies creatures will be able to be mixed from different towns? No morale penalty for creatures od the same alignment (Good (Kni, Sor, Wiz), Evil (War, Barb, Necro), Neutral (Neutr.)), no terrain bonuses for heroes, bonuses for creatures - grass for good, dirt for evil, sand for neutral. - no, i don't like this idea
9. Specializations - yes
10. Biographies - nope
11. Music - change for H2 but leave some H5 tracks - agreed
12. Towns - townbuild mostly like in H2 but: I want the Fort to be built together with the Town Hall (I hope it can be done but I'm not sure), Citadel with City Hall together (well+towers+statue), Capitol only in the chosen towns, Castle only with most of the buildings built.
Or maybe standard H5 buildstyle with changed costs and income only? I prefere the second option as it is simpler, more convenient, more H5-like and simply better. If I can't change the income, I'll wonder if I can put the first option into the game. - like in h5
13. Heroes - casting or fighting and casting as well (with bonuses for might classes in fighting and magic in casting - based mostly on the new skillwheel)? I suppose you mean somenting like in magnomagus mod" well i think it's a good idea.
14. Artifacts - H2-like and H5-like removed - heroes 2 items werse quite boring, so maybe put h5 artifacts with h2 look
15. Artifact sets - stay
16. Warcries - rather not
17. Main menu - animated but H2-like - i would like to see h2 main menu if it is possible
18. Adventure - dialogscenes instead of messages - agreed
What about heroes' models? Classical (H2) or original (each hero has his own model)? - the same models for all heroes but campaign (or maybe different for male/female)
What about creatures' icons? Ripped, painted or made from screens of models? - like it was done in h5 but adding background (like it was in h1-3) would be nice

So you want to save selections? If there are more such opinions then OK
About 8. - now the idea is like in the post above:
Knight - Grass
Sorc - Grass
Wizz - Sand
Barb - Dirt
Warlock - Swamp
Necro - Lava
Quote:
Icons like it was done in h5 but adding background (like it was in h1-3) would be nice
So models screens with a bit of photoshopping I hope I will do something like Xazardous Combat for the battlefield.
And another two questions:
1. How many army slots (5 or 7?)?
2. How about necromancy - I'd like to make all-skeleton without Dark Energy and what do YOU think?

the problem if you really have to have 7 creatures and 14 upgrades per castle is that your graphical style is far from H2 graphical style. it is H2 creatures, but in H5 style, so any original creature will just look like a random H5 NCF creature.
I wonder if there is a way to make mass spells show up in mage guild, instead of having to pick a perk?

Well, I want to have 6 creatures and 3 (wizard) to 5 (knight) upgrades like in the original HoMM2 not 7 crets and 14 upgs  I see you are not really enthusiastic about the mod. But like someone wise said - the hope dies as the last - and mine is still alive

I copy wrong part of your post I meant removing creatures circle would be ok
1. How many army slots (5 or 7?)? - as many as there will be creature dwellings in each castle (so if want remove one, then 6 army slots will be enough)
2. How about necromancy - I'd like to make all-skeleton without Dark Energy - rather the same
BTw: I can help with some 2d graphic (portraits/artifacts icons or interface) or minor things like skill three, but as I understood you have to modify gui before, so let me know then if you are interested.

I sent you a HC message about the 2D graphics
About army slots - I want to encourage players to mix creatures from different towns to make unique armies. That's why I hesitate between 5 (original H2) and 7 (all-creatures-from-town and one more) slots But I understand that 6 slots would be like in H5 - for all creatures from town
New idea for town building:
Village Hall
| |
| |
Twn Hll. Fort
| | | |
| | | Dwellings (with their own requirements in the town structures)
| | |
| | Citadel (for all) --- Castle (for Knight)
| |
| Town structures (Mage Guild, Tavern, Shipyard, Shrine (Necro), Rainbow (Sorceress) etc.)
|
City Hall (for Warlock - renamed as Dungeon ;P)
I also want to tell you that I have already fixed some bugs (exchanged pikemen's pike, made a new Swordsmen model which I will show together with Goblin and fixed Crusader's metal mirror, also added some special effect to his attack animation )
@Fauch - no, it is only a minor part of the faction. There are still heroes, creatures' names, icons & descriptions and the town look left

Today I have a bunch of screens and a question for you
First - fixed Pikeman and new armour of Crusader with new model of Swordsmen
And...
Goblin!
And the question is: should I write creatures' descriptions or not?
... what an enthusiasm, I'm shocked xD

After (too) long breakout I show you new 2 creatures - orcs and wolves:
Very thanks to Psatkha for his agreement on using his Nalstag head as the orcs'.
But be warned - if nobody tells me they are good, average, bad, ugly, excellent, weird or ANYTHING I'll give the mod up!

Green colour of orc is too intensive and doesn't look natural. Try use similar colour to grass on the screen. Maybe green orc shouldn't use chain armor, but leather? Green chain mail doesn't fit orcs at all ;P
And I think orcs should be a little bit thicker Wolves are great.
