Posts from Heroes of Might & Magic III: Horn of the Abyss

to Docent: from post 415 - compared to the screenshots from http://wogtowns.vndv.com/?

if I understood the question correctly - yes.

Surprisingly, you understood everything correctly!) If this question is even possible: Well, I mean, of course, roughly... So, when will Kronwerk and the Cathedral be released? (again, roughly)...

Read the first post in the thread carefully: :smile01:

Yeah, I mean the numbers! Well, the date... Do you at least have a rough idea?

take two: we're reading the first message. :)

ps: we can't say more precisely for now..
pps: it's highlighted in red – it's hard to miss :)

Sorry, I didn't realize that the first post in this thread gets updated...

And another question for Docent:
How will the overall idea of John Van Caneghem's scenario intersect with the HotA scenario?

Pardon, I didn't know that the first post in this thread gets updated...

And another question for Docent:
How will the overall idea of John Van Caneghem's scenario intersect with the HotA scenario?

The question is not very clear - what events in the Might and Magic world will take place during the campaign?

How will John Van Caneghem's overall scenario idea intersect with the HotA scenario?

Hmm... What is Caneghem's overall idea? Is it about Erathia's struggle against demons/necromancers? Well, yes... that's kind of the main storyline in RoE and in the campaign of Armageddon's Blade, but then the original campaigns focused on individual heroes, and each of them had their own, independent story - Mutare, the Dragon, Andriana, Kilgor... In SoD, there are also essentially 4 campaigns about individual heroes, and again, the latter part focuses on the undead:rolleyes: I think it's a somewhat overused theme!

well, in our case, pirates, dwarves/mountain folk, and inquisitors will be used as the main characters, along with some "subclasses" of cities, such as the Nix people, Nordlings (Frostlings), etc.
conflicts with necromancers and demons (as cliché as it may sound) will also be present, including on their side.

I'm talking about the discussion... Let me rephrase: in your opinion, will the story of the Horn of the Abyss fit into the overall story of the Heroes series?

of course... if we are emphasizing a certain "classic" aspect of the expansion, then a campaign that fully corresponds to the lore of the Heroes universe is one of the main elements of the expansion :smile01:

and will there be screenshots of the magic? of the new magic... :o :o

only street magic, huh - David Blaine :D :)

if we're being serious - they will be added, we're currently working on the magic system - but since there won't be that many new spells in the first version, and there won't be any in the beta version at all - this isn't a priority right now.

That’s exactly what I’m talking about, because if anyone remembers, the highlight of Might and Magic IX wasn’t the graphics or the gameplay, but the storyline, because seeing Prince Nikolai was, at the very least, endearing... And if there’s a similar thing in the new game, that would be a definite plus!

I have a question about the demo version: which of the three cities will we see? And secondly, will the campaigns feature unique heroes that cannot be purchased in the regular game, such as Jelu or the Dragon?
