Who want next H5 (not remake, new HoMM game)

H5 is my favourite heroes game. Why?
-alternative upgrades(TotE)
-skillwheel with racial skills and skill connections
-short in-game movies
-3D townscreen
-good graphical effects(better than H7)
-all core races* in one game(like H3)
-good story
-many units abillities
-some new interesting spells(TotE)

I want "new H5", new game with all that features and newer technology(graphic, sound). Who want that too?

*Haven(main good), Academy(town for magic users), Sylvan(classic), Inferno(main evil), Necropolis(classic), Dungeon(most popular), Stronghold(town with strong army)

this just feels like standard stuff that should be in regardless (excepting possibly alternate upgrades and definitely in-game movies).

Sure, I want that. Only problem is that considering they keep reusing h6 all over h7, I fear same will happen with h8 reusing h6 and h7 the same way so hard to see that happening

I mostly agree with you:

100% Agree.

matrix123mko said:

I love the skilwheel, but racials could be better. I hate that they force you to use only one race of units, so you can utilize your racial.

-3D townscreen
-good graphical effects(better than H7)


I liked this better with H5, too.
matrix123mko said:

-all core races* in one game(like H3)


This, well, I don't like the term 'core race'. If you ask me, I would like all of the H3 factions (9 towns) included.

matrix123mko said:

-short in-game movies



This one, I don't agree with. Story was nothing special, and story-telling was  a disaster. They should use H4 as a model for future games (and no in-game movies! Text ftw )

matrix123mko said:

-many units abillities


Agree.
matrix123mko said:

This is ok, but imo there should be more spells.

All in all, I think that H5 was the best heroes games that Ubi made. It had it's faults, but it is still better than H6, and I think H7 (this judgement was made on beta impression only).

I think this thread is not so greatly named. I personally would not want Heroes 5.2, although I agree it is one of the best in the series.

But it had some issues to me, as well, some mentioned before here...
...with frostymuaddib I agree on racials and story. On videos, I am partial. But I think I'd rather see some good cinematics and ingame more text than video. And now to other things I think were far from perfect on H5.
...linear Campaign. It was so great in H2 and H3 with campaigns being possibly non-linear. I'd really prefer it to be like that again, with the player being able to influence the story, not just play through it.
...Spell schools. They were okay, but I prefer theme-based magic schools over function ones. (And though there are a lot of exceptions, you basically have destruction=damage, dark=cursing, light=blessing&healing and Summoning=...summon^^).
...Adventure Map Magic. Far too little for my taste!!! And I woudl rather see them inside spell schools, not on their own. as said before: Order spells by theme, not by what they do, mainly.
...The Factions had room for improvement. Won't go into detail but I never truly fell in love with the Ashan factions. They were mostly okay, but certainly not great, imo.
...The looks. I'd rather have a look that's a bit more "realistic", meaning not that comic and shiny and obviously gameish. Town screens are an excellent example. While 3D was wonderful, it was so...gameish. I have no other word. There have been quite some threads about that topic iIrc. Short, just imagine a 3D townscreen, but in H3 style. And overall...I would also rather sacrifice 3D if it brings the old style back, it is not necessary for HoMM, imo

Also, a boost of graphics in terms of them being "better" in terms of using higher technology, I see no true importance in that. On technology I would rather see the game smooth and fast.
