Haven:
Humans. A power-based race.
Elves. A magic and power-based race.
Dwarves. A power and technology-based race.
Dungeon:
Necromancers. A magic-based race.
Dark Dwarves (brothers of the Light Dwarves, who, as a result of a demon attack, joined the Dungeon). A power-based race.
Dungeon (not dark elves, but normal gargoyles, predators, shadows). A magic-based race.
Chaos:
Chaos Demons, power and chaos.
Orcs, power and chaos.
Eastern Humans. Chaos magic.

It would be better to do it differently, since the "good-evil" division is silly, and it's even sillier to classify humans as "good"; they are almost always considered neutral in such divisions. It would be better if there were no "this one is good, that one is evil," but rather each race fights for its own goals; otherwise, it will be like this: "I like the demons, and my hero is one of them, but he's evil, so he will die or run away to continue the story where he gets beaten up."
And the motivation for the races can be different. For example:
Necromancers study any magic and are willing to do anything for knowledge; they are ready to accept anyone into their ranks, even a dwarf, as long as he shares their point of view.
Mages sell their knowledge to other races, which is how they survive, and necromancers, who undermine their economy by providing knowledge to those who want it, are a thorn in their side. As a result, the Mage Empire may collapse, and to survive, they want to destroy the necromancers.

Moderated: OFF-TOPIC in the message

I wouldn't like to see various upgrades and alt-upgrades.
Firstly, because the names of these very upgrades often sound absurd.
and secondly, sometimes it's annoying that after building, you also have to upgrade the unit because otherwise it will be weak and useless. Accordingly, it will take longer to develop, and so on.

I also don't want to see a large number of factions in the 6th part. 6-8 is quite enough. And most importantly, they should be unique. Their own magic, their own tactics, units selected to match the magic, and so on.

Regarding graphics... well, of course, I want something beautiful, but I don't want something too beautiful, because Heroes isn't a game you should just admire, and it would be a shame if it was too demanding and few people could play it.

About skills:

Perhaps what I personally like very much in the 5th part is the skill system. All the different branches and so on. By the way, it's a pity that in 3.0, for example, compared to 1.0, there are fewer unique racial skills.

And all sorts of resource editors, unit editors, faction editors are not needed at all. This is a frivolous thing, it's not needed in Heroes.

That's all, IMHO

Something like that would be nice... :)

Very beautiful! Did you create this image in Photoshop, or is there a mod that changes the graphics?

The developers of Heroes 5 created this image in Photoshop while working on the interface design; the second image shows the initial model of the Haven town. These screenshots are featured on DTF in the article "The Path of Heroes: a design postmortem" by one of the Heroes 5 developers, Alexander Mishulin.

by the way, I really didn't like the "circular cities". The view is severely limited, and it mainly focuses on the central column :-( It doesn't even make you want to admire the city yourself, except maybe to watch the camera move around a couple of times. And the buildings in the fifth game are too similar and unremarkable. In the previous parts, at least, there was a feeling that you had actually built a city. All those buildings, lights, magical discharges... but here... no, what is this? Inferno, Dungeon, Stronghold, Necropolis... what is this? They look terrible. Only the Academy really pleases the eye and soothes the ear with its melody, as well as the Elves, and, to some extent, the Dwarves. But even here, all the extensions look the same. Let's have 2D castles! :P P.S. By the way, the topic was originally in the "off-topic" section, where there is no post-padding at all.

These images were featured in the alpha version (I have them).

On the official website of Nival, job openings have appeared for working on a project within the Heroes of Might and Magic universe. And in the game's resources with patch 3.1, a new unit has appeared – Lizardman. Perhaps this is an additional unit that will be part of the promised content in the next patch, or perhaps it is a prelude to a new installment in the Heroes series...

I just don't understand one thing: where exactly did you see the reference to HoMM? I only managed to find this, but there's nothing about Heroes here.

Currently, the company is working on a new project that will be announced in the near future.

I read this on Hugo's website; I might be wrong (I might have made it up myself :)), but it seems like "Might and Magic" was mentioned there. I was quite surprised that I couldn't find anything related to Might and Magic on the website itself.

Or maybe this isn't even Heroes, but something like the third part of Demigods?

Unlikely, in my opinion. Heroes is probably a more commercially successful project.

You can call me a psycho, a paranoid, or something even worse, but since childhood, I've been predicting that there will only be five installments in the series (I'm a natural-born witch, born on Halloween, and I can predict things pretty well, although insights happen rarely). But my predictions never included a sixth installment:smile32:, only five. By the way, even when everyone had lost hope for a fifth game, I still maintained that there would be one. Therefore, either there won't be a sixth game, or it will be so bad that no one will want to play it, although maybe my prediction won't come true:smile32:. Personally, I have nothing against a sixth game, but I trust my inner voice more than anyone else's assumptions.

Maybe it won't be Heroes at all, but, for example, the third part of Demigods?

Ah, this option is not ruled out and is more realistic because there was something about a third Demigods game after I finished the second one, and I also insisted on that for a long time)).
Sincerely yours, Mutare Drake:smile02:.

I don't know, I really don't. After the release of the fifth installment, the hype was enormous.

Personally, I thought the developers would continue with the fifth game. There are some unresolved issues in the storyline. For example, what happened to Railagh? He went to search for the Skull, but in Dark Messiah, there's no mention of him at all.

But in general, if we don't take the storyline into account, the developers really put in a lot of effort when creating the latest expansion. I don't even know what else could be added.

P.S.

They will be so bad that no one will want to play them.

Mutare Drake, even if the sixth game is released, people will still play it, even if it's not as good as the fifth. How many times has the press criticized the fourth game, and yet there are still fans who play it, and tournaments are still held to this day.

Even if the sixth installment comes out, people will still play it, even if it's not as good as the fifth. How many times has the press criticized the fourth Heroes game, yet there are still fans who play it, and tournaments are held to this day.

Well, everyone has their own opinion on this. Personally, I stand by my opinion)). I believe in magic too much, and besides, I would have already seen at least some articles in gaming magazines about the game. I really love reading gaming magazines:rolleyes:.
Sincerely yours,Mutare Drake.
