a cruel joke =((
oh well... I thought they would finally get down to business!.. but it turns out... :[

T_T

Did you think they would suddenly revive the officially deceased universe out of nowhere, and even add a playable race of the ubiquitous Krigan? Lol.
Zehir2008, respect.

I immediately saw the catch :) I just decided to check the news on other sites about this and find out the publication time, so it would be easier to search in the archives :) They made a cruel joke. And Zephyr is just awesome... He dug up an old news item, thought it was true, and posted it on the forum.

Hey everyone, do you know anything about a sequel to Heroes? I mean, a continuation of the fifth part or the release of a sixth installment? Please answer, I'm really curious. :rolleyes:

Read the thread and you'll understand that nothing is really known.

you know what... I've finally put into words a thought that's been floating around in my head for a while.
Basically, the Heroes series has run its course. If the sixth installment is anything like the fifth or third... I don't even know if it will be a success.
My interest in new expansions usually fades after about a month, when I've mastered a new castle and its units.
I think Nival understands this, which is why they made alternative upgrades. That was truly a great innovation.
I launched Heroes of Might and Magic for the first time in a while with a rather... sad feeling. There was no novelty. But the upgrades were a pleasant surprise.
But... if the sixth installment is only cosmetically changed, or if they remove a few units, add a few new ones, change abilities, swap creatures between factions... it won't be what I'd like to see. I'd say, it won't be at all what I'd like to see.
Actually, this won't affect the developers' wallets, as I download all the new releases for free from the local network, but I still feel a bit disappointed as a fan.
I reread Major's version about the campaign. Interesting. Very interesting. But it's just a campaign. I'm talking about something... new in the single-player scenarios. Something that will spark interest and open up new possibilities. Classic gameplay is great, and all that, but I'm getting increasingly bored of buying a second hero, transferring the army to the first, and going to clear out a mine and lumber mill, standing in battle in defense, and shooting down mobs with archers. It's so overdone, so stale... and my soul craves something new, something unexplored.
On the other hand, Heroes is all about capturing lumber mills and shooting down monsters with archers while standing in defense; otherwise, it's not Heroes. So what now? Create "another decent game in the series that half the people love, and the other half call it not-Heroes 3"? For which true fans like you and me will pay our 200 rubles and play, feeling a weight on our souls and sensing that "something is missing"? Or release a game with significant and interesting innovations, which everyone, like with the fourth installment, will criticize, shouting that it's not Heroes of Might and Magic? And then they'll go back to Heroes 3 and 5, building the market for the thousandth time? :-(

Did you think they would suddenly revive the officially deceased universe and add a playable race of ubiquitous Krigans? Lol

The Krigans were indeed a playable race. In two parts of Heroes. And the old universe has already been revived.

I agree that the Heroes series has run its course. However, the excellent games that were released as part of this series will always be remembered. But I won't be upset if Heroes VI doesn't come out.

We need a sixth installment of Heroes, they haven't exhausted the potential, they need to improve the graphics, make the skill system even more well-thought-out, and so on – there's no limit to improvement!

A sixth installment of Heroes is unlikely. And if it doesn't happen, it's not a big deal; there are parts 1-4. To be honest, they should have stopped at Heroes 4 in the first place.

Yes, yes, and add more factions, magic, heroes, and neutral creatures...
and get another expansion that lasts for a month. We've already seen all of this.
No, no matter what you say, but there's nothing new. Many abilities in the game are already contrived.
I think something like the fourth game in spirit and innovation would bring something new... but if it's just another third or fifth game, it will be bad. People can't keep eating the same thing forever.

It would also be nice to have a race editor...

I want HoMM 6 to be based on HoMM 4. So that you don't have to run around to mills and build a bunch of markets. So that there is an alternative choice of creatures in each race, endlessly diversifying the game. So that the hero is truly a Hero, leading the army. So that each race has its own tactics and unique skills. I also want a unique specialization for each hero. So that the models of warriors and mages, men and women, are different. It could be that a male hero differs from a female hero in the degree of development of certain parameters. Endless variety of spells, magical schools, and altars. Upgrades are possible, but not necessary. More races, both canonical and new, because there are enough ideas. I would like to connect Ashan with the original universe. Interesting scenarios and Campaigns, a clear and simple editor with a lot of possibilities, more map levels, additional objects, variations of the plot.
Yes, yes, I know that HoMM 4 is not HoMM, a complete mess, and it's clear why 3DO collapsed, just look at this miserable part. But understand, something new is needed. HoMM 3 is perfect, but you can't play it forever :)

P.S. Okay... Everyone to your corners! Otherwise, I'll get my moderator's sword and start cleaning up here!

I want them to be like... all the heroes from each game, with the best features and some new ones, and the possibilities should be endless! But I don't think there will be a Heroes 6; there will be a new turn-based strategy game, but under a different name and with a different story.

I would like to connect Ashan with the original universe.

Ah, if only there was still a chance that Ubisoft would be interested in this option.

It's obvious why 3DO went bankrupt; you just need to look at this terrible part.

This is a fairly common misconception. 3DO's bankruptcy was not related to any of their games.

But understand, something new is needed. Heroes 3 is perfect, but you can't play it forever :)

Heroes 4 has a very pronounced RPG element. On the one hand, this is good, because Heroes is a spin-off of RPG, but on the other hand, it is still a TBS spin-off.

P.S. Okay... Everyone back to your corners! Otherwise, I'll get out my moderator's sword and make things happen here!

And I will :smile01:
