I'm stuck in the 2nd mission of the Haven campaign in hard because, although I have like 4 dwellings and 3 cities with all the creature-birth upgrades, I only get like 10 total of each every week... And no it's not a week of the plague or sth, it's just bugged and I can't win with no creatures, even if I could I don't really want to bother I'll wait until it's fixed...
Many other shitty bugs, imperial griffins suck because they can't dive attack, if you hit with your marksman through a unit guardian-angel that is near praetorians, the praetorians take damage as if your unit took damage, pretty sure that's not intended.
Also sometimes for completely random/unknown reasons, my creatures or the AIs' do 0 damage (all the damage shows in "absorb" for a few turns then it goes back to normal ? With no spells used or w/e at all, just a weird bug.
REALLY annoying, the game would be really good without the ton of semi-gamebreaking bugs...
I've found bugs like this as well. One the first level of the necro campaign shortly after capturing the second to last castle all my recruitment bars showed up as like - 4000 so I couldn't get any more creatures. Luckily I am necromancer and my army doesn't die so I was able to win anyway. I think it reverts back to normal if you load from a previous save before the bug though.

Having played it for a couple of days I can see the game is buggy, slow and not what I expected(seems rushed to be released). The art is pretty good.
OK, now how hard is it to make a HOMM 3 with updated graphics and new skill/creatures ?
Wouldnt that be what everyone wants ?!
That would be HOMM 5.

The game does feel slow compared to the rest, i just increased the game speed in the options menu. solved that! :D
The campaign feels 100x better this time around too!

You basically have to do this in any HoM&M Game, the standard animation speed both for fights and movement is just insanely slow.

I only played the demo but on the 2nd level of demo campaign you find an artifact that makes 3 first attacks the enemy does against your army do 0 damage.
aye the guardian breastplate.
soaks up any and all of the first three damaging moves made against you.
retalliation or attack and the likes.
edit : the game seems to promote playing really aggressive in general.
in HoMM 5 and earlier versions i used to play turtle way more.
sweep your starting area , turtle to build up and go.
Here i've mostly played , day 1 go , go and go
makes the overall games better in my opinion.

I wrote a long list of stuff I didn't like. Sufficient to say... what a load of shit. A rushed pile of crap.
Such a shame. One of the very few games I was looking forward to this year.

Campaign is fantastic. Game needs alot of polishing, but that's the reason I'm sitting on ubi game forums and reporting every bug I encounter (same as lots of other players).
I would like old skills back, but that's basically it. The look and feel is great.

Anyone figure out how to edit those maps?

I played the demo of HOMMVI (or MMHVI, whatever they want to call it) and all it wanted me to do was go back to play HOMM3... Not a great job at all from the developers. 3DO struck gold two times in a row and then chopped their arms off. I didn't mind the talent system though, they were on to something there.

Oh man I remember playing HOMM 3 as a kid. Loved it!
How is this version? any good? or is it like HOMM 4 which I think really sucked.

2nd mission of the Haven campaign was pants on head retarded. I was playing on normal and I didn't know if I should laugh or cry.
1st off: there was this 1 fort on the way to Igor (top right baron) where after the comp recaptured it 500 gryphs would spawn in the garrison LOL. Aside from the gryphs it had like 80 riders, 200 sisters and around 300-500 of archers and spearmen. Fucking insane.
2nd: Even when I had the whole map and was getting ~50 riders every week and the comp was left with 1 last castle (Igor, again) every week he would send out a captain hero with 130 riders, 200 gryphons and more shit than I care mention.
I mean how is it even possible lol! On 1 castle he has double my creature growth?!
3rd: After I finally got rid of Igor the cyclops guarding the way to the Dragon Knight were around 500 strong! LOL fucking murdered most of my army. Fortunetly for me Upgraded spears, shittons of Xbowmen (I mean in the 2K-3K range) and around 600 Blazing Glories worked them down.
4th: You guessed it =D. Necro lord left in his hole. After 13 months he had around 1K liches and 2K everything else >.>

That's the whole campaign. Just the 2 missions. Move on to the next one.

ditto. That was confusing for me as well. I was liking the story and was sad when i just had to move on to another one. Now I've played 4 missions of the necro campaign. I think the campaigns/storylines are going to be really fun. I got bored of the HOMM3 campaigns pretty fast, but I think I'll enjoy all of these.

The haven campaign kind of continues the story from the tutorial campaign. The game has a lot of little things going on to it, still haven't figured everything out with the tutorial.
I've been getting quite a bit out of the game so far despite the poor reviews, I think maybe cause I haven't played the former games. Usually by the end of the maps I'm wanting to just put it on auto combat since battles get a little stagnant for me, I wonder if i should just be saving and then coming back to it later when that happens.
I did a hotseat game with my brothers the day after it came out and I was back east with my family, and we played a good 6 hour game. We didn't finish and we were learning while playing, but multiplayer really adds a lot

Has anyone had trouble with the second Stronghold level? I chose the path of tears during the first level, and because of this I can't do the path of blood mission in the second level. This causes my game to freeze.

So, apart from everthing said here so far...
does anybody play this game online?
I tried it yesterday, mostly just playing with my brother.
So far it was quite frustrating with disconnects every few hours, but great fun apart from that.
I mean, if Ubisoft would patch things like the interface, when waiting for others players and beeing able to watch allied fights, I think it would have some potential.
I really like the game itself so far. Of course it is quite different to HoMM3, but I like many of the changes and still try to figure out a lot of them. 
Anyways...
Anyone here up for some online-games?
