Yeah me and some friends have our 2nd game going so far, its pretty fun multiplayer but I would only play it with buddies on skype to be honest. The campaign is pretty interesting and thank god they went back to vocal/text instead of those aweful cut scenes with fake animations from homm5. Overall Im loving this game! | ||

So I won't ruin it for you guys with a long winded rant then. (yeah, I've tried the game and )I'd kinda like to hear it just for even-handedness. We're all mature, nobody is going to bash you. Town conversion and lack of resources are definitely a detriment I think. One thing I'd be surprised if anyone complained about would be the story. HOMM5 may have had relatively good gameplay, but jesus christ the story, voice acting, cinematics, and characters were god awful. Homm6 is a little campy, and it's no Dragon Age or anything, but it's a huge step up story wise. | ||

(I asked Ubisoft tech support this question, but I know TL will be, like, 10x faster and better.) | ||

I tried deleting local content and re-installing but got the same issue. Does anyone know how to fix this?

The only problem I see are the maps ...well there aren't too many yet. Also "huge" isn't as huge as I thought. | ||

What about the lack of separate city screens? Only four types of resources? | ||

Apparently, you conquer main buildings and their related regions now instead of single mines, buildings, etc. Did they do that territorial system right? What about the lack of separate city screens? Only four types of resources? Castles and Forts create influence areas around them. If the area is neutral (the ruling castle/fort is neutral), everything works as it used to. If the area has an owner, any mine or dwelling (once conquered) in this area is tied to the ownership of the castle. If you conquer an enemy castle, you have all the mines that player conquered. If somebody conquers a mine under your influence, it's yours again when he leaves it. (The game starts as usual, you have your town and have to conquer the neutral mines around.) Separate city screens? When "entering" a castle, you view it as a window. There you have the classical "tabs": building, recruiting, tabern, market, etc. The UI is nice and fast to use. What I like the most is that you can convert any city to your faction, so you can actually merge its units with yours, again, giving you a faster way to play (conquer->convert->recruit all) Yes, four types. Wood, ore, crystal and gold. Crystal is like gas in SC, needed for every upgrade and tier2, so its control becomes key in every game. You find yourself rushing for crystal in early game. The game has been speed up A TON: - Town portals are now castle buildings, you're able to move between castles (one each turn) quite fast. - You can recruit every unit of every castle at one single castle (as long as it has the proper buildings). No more caravans and turns wasted with reinforcements. - Theres a tier 2 skill (level 5) that allows you to pass 75% of your exp to any other hero, so every hero gets almost as strong as your main. No more lvl2 heroes outplayed by lvl10 if you manage it properly. - The control areas force players to go for the castle instead of retarded mine harrassing (if you played against cpu you know what I mean) - Getting on/off a boat does no longer end your turn. (at least!) - The tech tree does no longer give room for chance on your skills, you can go the path you want. | ||

One big, overpowered army, which runs around and beats everyone. The remaining heroes are pulled by the top hero. One step into the right direction, one step into the wrong. | ||

And where exactly is that diffrent from Heroes 3? Thanks to the now possible multiple higher level heroes the "1 hero, 1 army" concept is a little weaker than before, not stronger?! | ||

You can now trust your secondary heroes because you can make them keep track of the momentum of the match. Previously when you were lvl 5~7 and about to engage the enemy, any recruitable hero was worthless, as a lower army will be buffed by a leveled hero and defeat him. Now you can trust tasks to new heroes anytime as you can make them reach the same tier of your top hero. You have mobility, and so does your foe. If you trust on a single hero townportal'ing, an army of heroes may harrass you in multiple points. Sure you can move to a new castle each turn to defend, but you can't be everywhere anyway. And if you use your single buffed hero to conquer, multiple heroes can counter thanks to their fast leveling (picking harrass skills as logistics, etc). I don't see this changes changing the way the game used to be played, but shorter in turns. | ||
