Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era - Обсуждение

I'm really worried. It won't be possible to defeat a large creature with small forces prematurely. It won't be possible to defend with single units. Creatures like dragons will attack across two hexes, and you can't place a unit one hex away; they'll just fly right over. The value of landscape obstacles has dropped to zero; there are no large creatures to block them, and small creatures can't position themselves in a way that prevents a large creature from passing, because there are no large creatures. You can't outmaneuver a large creature with a small, fast creature; it won't get stuck or start going around. They've completely ruined the tactical aspect. We'll just be walking around the battlefield and collecting chests.

In the aforementioned King's Bounty, this was well compensated for by spells and rage abilities. As far as I remember, in each installment, you could place an obstacle on the battlefield that allowed you to protect archers or simply kite enemies. I remember using a single black dragon, mind control on enemy archers, and a cloud obstacle to easily kite "invincible" armies, raining Armageddon down on them from above 🤣 And single units in the same fourth installment were not exactly a great idea; as far as I remember, morale plummeted after losing a unit. Single units decided the outcome on the map 🤣 And in the same fourth installment, quicksand appeared, a good tactical spell that effectively slowed down infantry regardless of size. If we're talking about a clone of the third game and the tactics familiar from the third game, then yes, you'll have to significantly change your tactics, abandon familiar solutions, and look for new ones. And I agree that this has become typical for the Heroes series, especially for fans of the third game, whom the developers are so persistently trying to please. But I've already said that what matters most to me is how the game plays overall. I've always dreamed that one day Heroes will simply copy the combat system from King's Bounty, and I'll be happy, because King's Bounty itself has gone downhill 🤣
