Posts from Screenshots [before the game’s release]. Auto-translated

Here are a couple of unofficial screenshots that roughly show what the game will look like, but keep in mind that this is most likely a beta version and a very old one, so it only gives a rough idea of the game.

It's starting to remind me more and more of Warcraft.

Something weird is happening; it will take a while to figure out this game. I think that nothing has been invented yet that is better than the third part.

I have this beta version at home! I played it, but I have a question about discussing it here – is it even allowed to discuss something like this?
I apologize in advance to all the moderators and admins on this site.
By the way, Shkata is pretty good, I liked it!
The graphics are, of course, hmm... but it's a year-old version, and distributing it could lead to legal trouble. But if anyone wants it, I can send the disc by mail if someone is interested.

Yes, these are screenshots from the alpha. Yes, they punish people for it on the Nival forum.
But I haven't seen anywhere that a criminal case has been opened for the fact of stealing the alpha. Until I see it with my own eyes, I believe I should state that, for now, everything complies with the forum rules. If there is no criminal case, then the existence of the alpha on the network is legal and authorized by Nival Interactive. Those who want to play it, do so. If the developers released it on the network and now they are ashamed, that's their problem. They should have thought about it earlier. And not dictate from above how things should be. There is a set of laws in the Russian Federation, and if Nival has any questions, please contact them. On this forum, discussing the alpha is not welcome, but it is not prohibited. As for the distribution, we are not involved in that.
Here is the moderator's position. If you have any questions and would like to remove all links related to the alpha, please contact the site administrator.

Here is the castle siege:)
As you can see, the battlefield doesn't impress with its size. There are more obstacles, and less room for maneuvering:(

And here is the result of the elven dancer's performance:

A couple of new official screenshots from Nival.
They have been posted on the portal in the corresponding sections:
1. Magic on the battlefield
2. On the strategic map

You're missing out. Why would we need to go anywhere else when we have a beta version and can take screenshots ourselves? :D

You're just trying to get us riled up. Why would we need to go anywhere when we have a beta version and can take screenshots ourselves? :D

But there's not even a link to the screenshots! And this idiot posted a link to some crappy online game like King's Bounty... delete and ban him.

I hope Heroes 5 won’t be like Warcraft…

What's wrong with Warcraft?

He probably meant that Heroes is not Warcraft, and games shouldn't be similar...
Since we don't know for sure... let's see the author's comments... :)
