Heroes 6 - Discussion

You seem to have lost the thread.
I wrote that graphics aren't important for the heroes, but they spent a lot of time on it, although it's not very noticeable in the 5th installment, i.e., they kept working on it, but the result wasn't great, even for that time. Do you understand? I'm not saying that the graphics SHOULD be excellent or that I WANT great graphics. What I meant was that they wasted a lot of time on the graphics, when they could have spent it on the world, and the result might have been much better.

I don't understand the meaning of the phrase "spending time on graphics." Nival already had an engine; all they had to do was create the game on that engine. I don't have any complaints about the graphics themselves; it's a strategy game, and graphics aren't particularly important, in my opinion, regardless of whether they're good or not.

So, it's better to discard the old, original world and replace it with one that has been used repeatedly in other games?

Didn't the old world also feature canonical mythological creatures? And yes, wasn't the conflict between humans and demons also at the core of the plot?

Exactly.

In fact, you can find fault with any universe, especially in games where developers can interpret it in different ways. Some people want it to be like Tolkien's, while others want something more original; it's a matter of taste and nothing more.

There are games that are designed for single-player playthroughs, and the main goal in them is not to destroy the enemy, so you were too quick to generalize about the nature of all games.

In any case, during the game, you need to fight and kill someone; I'm talking about strategy games, of course, not economic ones, although I don't deny that there may be other individual representatives of the genre without violence.

cartoonishness doesn't make a game a fairy tale.

You could call it that; for me, "fairy tale" and "cartoonishness" are almost synonyms in this context.
