The only thing that seemed nice about it is music which they took for HOMM II. Also: The amount of damage to be dealt is calculated and shown before hit, it also shows how many creatures it will kill and whether there will be retaliation. It is shown whether the mob is hard/easy/very easy for you when you right click from any distance. When you approach you can even check out how many there are without engaging. All the skills are available for choosing, no randomness is involved. It is always gonna be one build without alterations (experienced in the same exact order). There is also only one resource aside from ore/wood. It is crystal, that all buildings are build with for all castles. It is basically simplified to fit a level of an elementary school child. I tried to keep my hopes up for it, but it is another crap that is nowhere near the level of HOMM 2 and 3. Did I mention that they didn't even draw castle interiors? Games like that really make you appreciate Blizzard and the efforts that they put in their games. | ||

The hero customization system is pretty cool, and I like the different special abilities units have - it's a lot more varied than in previous games, although I can see certain stuff ending up being very tough to balance, but we'll see. Mines being 'tied' to cities and getting captured when you capture the city is kind of cool, saves the bother of buying 'mule' heroes just to run around popping flags, the graphics are very, very good, as is the music. Can't really comment on campaign as I've only been playing skirmish maps, but then again, who plays this series for campaigns?  All in all, I'm very happy with my preorder; I didn't care much for 4/5, but I'm sure I'll be playing this quite a bit. | ||

Alone it's pretty boring and same old, same old no pretty castles, no pretty skill circle (yeah i liked that one), nothing new Not worth buying if u play mainly alone Hotseat, is fun as ever. take a day off, invite some friends, buy some beer and play through the whole night. I can't say yet how addicting it is in the long term but i think even hotseat or other MP will get boring pretty fast (as it was with all HoMM) | ||

Downloading demo, hope that it plays out better than it sounds (sometimes less is better). On August 20 2011 00:27 SnetteL wrote: No dragons, no castles and only crystal (if i read correctly)?

It's a great game :D ... no dragons in heroes 6 is sort of ... disappointing though Don't you have that Giant Dragon Eel water god thingy? But yeah =( No Dragons hurts me pretty bad. They were like the soul of every previous Homm game Gonna DL the demo and hopefully get to try out the Naga race. | ||

I haven't played the other factions, but I'm in love with the necropolis. Had 100 vampires solo an entire enemy faction, because I would abuse spectres heal, advanced necromancy, and vamp's lifesteal. It defintely wasn't broken, because the last AI I faced actually finished off the spectres first then burst down the vamps with some ridiculous single target spell that I didnt catch. Had an absolute blast, and that was just one playthrough. I'm looking forward to multiplayer, and hopefully more stuff when it comes out. It was a little easy at first when they blatantly show you whether or not you can take out a neutral army with a litte "trivial" sign above their head, taking no losses, and then having different levels in order going low, modest, average, severe and then deadly being relatively impossible to kill. I could do without that or an option to turn it off, so I could develop my own sense of what I can or can't take on. Besides the view, or thought the town layout was very organized and comprehensible, and I think they did a good job balancing so far, but undoubtedly something will come up, like maybe there is a more abusable way to do the vamp thing, but it's no where near the HoMM3 necromancy, its more of a outhealing damage issue, that the AI seemed to overcome. | ||
