Heroes 6 - Discussion

"English with a French accent, it's hard to understand, they should have just provided the text." "Indeed! - "Welcome, Heroes! I'm Julien Pirou, also known as Marzhin on the forums, the lead level designer for Heroes 6. I'm here to answer some of the questions you've been asking on the forums, fan sites, and the Might & Magic Facebook page. Today, let's talk about heroes. As you know, in the game, you control different heroes. In the campaigns, you have 6 pre-defined heroes tied to the game's storyline: Duke Slava, Anton, Anastasia, Kirill, Shandor, and a 6th hero that you don't know yet. Each of them has a distinctive and unique appearance on the map. After completing the campaigns, you unlock new heroes. There are also other ways to gain access to new heroes in the game, and it's up to you to find them! In Multiplayer mode, you can play as pre-defined heroes or those you've unlocked. You can also create your own Hero, choosing their class, gender, personality, appearance, specialization, and name. In both modes, you can also hire secondary heroes in the tavern, which cannot be customized. They all wear helmets. Their appearance varies depending on gender and class, and, of course, they all have unique 2D portraits, specializations, and names. You may have already guessed that hero specializations do not change during the game, as was the case in Heroes 3 and 5, meaning each hero has a unique skill. Now, let's take a look at mounts. As you can see, each race has its own mounts, but initially, they are all horses. If you've played Heroes 5, you might recognize the Hell Steed, ridden by the Inferno hero... There are also special heroes who travel the map on foot. You've already seen the Orc Kraal moving on the map in the Orcs developer video. Now, about spoiler questions regarding the characters (stop reading immediately if you want to keep the suspense!). One of the main features of the Might & Magic series is the heroes who have appeared in multiple games and become legendary. I'm sure you've heard of Crag Hack, Solmyr, Sandro, Lord Kilburn, and so on. So, you can expect to meet familiar faces if you've played games set in the lands of Ashan. You may also want to look for references to the old Might & Magic universe. Well, that's all for today. I hope you found a lot of new information. More news about Heroes will be coming at the end of February. See you in the next Q&A video. Translated from English by DenSib. P.S. This is not a one-time event. There will be many more videos like this."
