Posts from Screenshots [from the open beta test of Heroes 5].

The developers clearly stated that there will be no old heroes! Now they have a new world and everything is brand new... :eek:

By the way, this was said not by programmers or game designers, but by Nival's PR managers, and sometimes their words are just pulled out of thin air, and often they don't even know what they are saying. To confirm my thoughts – my post in another topic.
:cool:

Well, the admin www.HeroesWorld.ru has started testing:)...

When I launched the game, it seemed like WarCraft to me. The menu style and implementation are exactly the same. And when you think of WarCraft, you associate it with an Infernal fighting a foot soldier:)...
I immediately set the settings to maximum. After 5 minutes, I regretted that I downloaded it without music, because there is one melody in it, and I really liked it. The other battle and creature sounds are all there.
After a while, I felt a lack of RAM. I'll go buy 1024 tomorrow.

Here's a cool battle:

I fought the last battle with neutral creatures: 4 groups of zombies against my group of skeletons + another 19 of my zombies.
Zombies against zombies - http://www.HeroesWorld.ru/files/art.php?section=314&id=315
This is what it looks like with the grid - http://www.HeroesWorld.ru/files/art.php?section=314&id=316
Corpses of corpses - http://www.HeroesWorld.ru/files/art.php?section=314&id=317
Final victory - http://www.HeroesWorld.ru/files/art.php?section=314&id=318

And here's what the battle started with - http://www.HeroesWorld.ru/files/art.php?section=314&id=319

Well, my first experience shows that an 8x10 field is still playable. In a battle against Goblins and in a battle against Archers, the field still proves its worth. Some kind of balance can be felt. But I'm drawing these conclusions only from the first battles of the first-level creatures. There were many more battles after that, I took screenshots, I just need to compress them and upload them, but I don't have time.

I know that.
But the hero looks exactly like Christian!!! That's what I find interesting – either the people at Nival have a real lack of imagination and can't draw new heroes, or they've come up with a way to explain how these old characters ended up in this world?

Come on, they just copied an image from three different heroes. This is what they wanted to show in the beta – that they can draw beautiful heroes... I think they'll remove this Christian by the release.

So what, they copied the picture from Heroes 3. This is what they wanted to show in the beta – how well they can draw beautiful heroes... I think they'll remove this Christian by the release...

Yeah, they just showed that they can't draw beautiful heroes... ;)... And regarding beauty – look at the heroes of Dungeon – there's a lot of creativity... but there's not much beauty to be seen... :(

I've definitely seen Dragons before, as I've been involved in testing for quite some time, but for those who haven't seen them yet, I've attached a picture to the post (taken from the latest interview).

And there's also a fully built Dungeon Castle.

So what, they just copied the picture from Heroes 3. This is what they wanted to show in the beta, that they can draw beautiful heroes... I think they will remove this Christian by the release.

I found another one there. He also plays for Haven. He used to specialize in ranged attacks, now he specializes in archers:)
And this fake Christian also specializes in ballistae.

Yeah, this just shows that they can't draw beautiful heroes...
