Heroes 6 - Discussion

The only thing that pleased me was that the beta key was sent on the same day. I still play Heroes 5, and here's why: even with the same map and two identical heroes, it's very difficult to develop them in the same way, so each game is unique and different. I've come to the conclusion that the creators of this game (Heroes 6) never played the previous Heroes games. And here's why: 1. Half of all tactics in the game were based on the strategy of "I'll overwhelm the enemy with 50 elves against 50 dragons." Now, there's no point in protecting archers, as every faction has ranged units that deal as much damage as the magic users in Heroes 5. :smile19: 2. The hero's influence, and therefore your own participation, on the outcome of the battle is minimal. For example, I, with an 8th-level hero (attack = 8) and an army only twice as large, defeated an 18th-level hero (attack = 37) on auto-battle. (Defense was approximately the same, and no damage spells were used). The most reliable tactic has become capturing resources and dwellings and simply sitting and accumulating troops. 3. There's no point in having high-level units at all! 50 pikemen can easily defeat your 7th-level unit. Imagine that in Heroes 3 or 5. I think each of you played as the Fire Mage of the Silver Cities and remembers the pleasant feeling of intellectual triumph when you defeated the enemy's castle with 50 magnetic golems, wiping out their monthly production. :smile03: You could have named this game anything, but not Heroes 6. After 2-3 battles, I just turn on auto-battle because there's practically no point in your participation in the process. 4. You can't play without losses! :smile35:, no matter how hard you try. Therefore, the value of an artifact should be assessed based on the units lost, and I haven't seen any artifacts that would make it worthwhile to capture them. And how pleasant it was to replay battles over and over again to win without losing a single unit. :smile27: I'm furious, I'm disappointed by the wasted money and unfulfilled expectations. I always compared Heroes to chess, but Heroes 6 is only comparable to :smile18:
