Posts from Heroes of Might and Magic V [Game Discussion] Auto-translated

And who said that Heroes of Might and Magic V is poorly made? It's MAGNIFICENT!

I agree, I absolutely agree:
There is nothing more magnificent than Heroes 5 (and let the conservatives only play Heroes 3 and indulge in nostalgia!).

If anyone is having trouble with developing hero skills, Nival released the “Skill and Ability Wheel.” Maybe someone knows about it, but just in case, here’s the download link: ftp://ftp.nival.com/pub/homm5/homm5_skillwheel_ru.zip

In the fourth game, the AI of the companions is weak, which makes the game less interesting. However, it's still playable, but I agree, not for long. As for the fifth game, after a few expansions, it might even surpass the third game. In short, the fifth game is a masterpiece!

Yes, a couple of patches, one or two expansions, the peak of the series...
I feel like I've seen this before:(
When I remember how it ended, I just want to cry:( :( :(

Maybe! But I simply don't find it interesting to play the 4th game (and I think everyone else feels the same). Yes, the interface is better than in the 5th game... but try to create a beautiful, 3DO-style interface that is also incredibly user-friendly! You can play the 4th game... but not for long... It gets boring... And in my personal opinion, the music in the 4th game is just terrible... a complete failure! I really don't like it! But in the 5th game, it's okay... the music is decent!

They should also put some effort into the interface. I don't know, maybe hire more developers or at least make it so that they can work on it later, but they bluntly say that they don't plan to make any major changes, and Ubisoft didn't tell them to do so (by the way, this is their most common excuse, and it doesn't work here, and we won't start blaming Ubisoft, they know that). And how many times have people on their forum complained about the simple unit models and the lack of 3D, suggesting instead a simple arrangement of slots with a hero icon in the background? There were dozens of such suggestions, but the developers keep talking about how this isn't an RPG and that Ubisoft didn't ask them to do that. As for the music, I'll say that it's a matter of taste, and I quickly get tired of it (2-3 weeks), although in the 5th game, it's still better than in the 4th, and I agree with that. It's good that they didn't come up with the same thing for the earlier parts (like they did in Stronghold 2, which is a big FU to them)

For me, Heroes 5 is SUPER_PUPER MEGABEST. Regarding the flaws, I can only say one thing - ABSOLUTE PERFECTION IS UNATTAINABLE:o :o

Absolutely (that is, 100%) - no! But the ideal - yes! Heroes 5 doesn't fit here; for some, it became super-duper, and for others, just a decent game (like for me, but who knows, maybe in the future my opinion will change because I haven't really played them (in general, about 10-15 hours), once the exams are over, even if with difficulty, I'll sit down and play). But my friend is unlucky; he only played the demo and managed to play a little in the full version, and he was delighted, but then his hard drive started acting up, and he can't play properly, otherwise he would probably be shouting here about how super-duper it is.

The absolute ideal is different for everyone! For me, it's the Heroes series! And Heroes 5 is almost perfect!

For me, there is no and will never be a 100% masterpiece in the game genre. But still, Heroes V came very close to that!

It can be compared to a few – for example, Heroes of Might and Magic III! Let’s add Heroes of Might and Magic V to the list of the best games of all time!

I agree, which means that the fifth installment is a worthy continuation of the series!
But God forbid they make the sixth one like the fourth...

Yes, a couple of patches, one or two expansions, the peak of the series...
I've seen this before:(
It makes me sad to remember how it ended:( :( :(

Are you talking about 3.58? Well, I think you can still have fun, although the whole point of Heroes gets lost. I'm talking about patches with fixed bugs and expansions with new factions, creatures, and artifacts; there aren't many of them now. I wouldn't want anything to change in the core of the game.

No! I think this is a hint about the fourth installment, which will never be forgiven by fans of the third game and NWC. It's like a fable, a cautionary tale. There was a shepherd boy who watched over sheep and, to amuse himself, shouted that wolves were attacking. The first time he shouted, everyone came running in fear, and he laughed, saying, "Just kidding." The second time he shouted, the same thing happened. And the third time he shouted, the same thing happened again. Finally, wolves really did come, and he cried out, but no one believed him, and the wolves ate him. The moral of this fable is... what is it? In short, something similar happened with NWC, but in reverse: 1 - they did well, 2 - they did even better, 3

Once the map size is increased (to "Very Large"), at least doubled, then I will also say that the fifth installment is close to perfection.
