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

The commercial aspect at Nival is quite something! What do you think all those patches, add-ons, and mods are for? Commerce! Money for the development of the next games! But on the other hand, they did a great job even without that! And, without a doubt, Nival are clever guys! (Why fund a project that was considered dead?).

even if they died, they died, but it’s clear that they could have just made a trash game with the title “HoMM V” and it would have already been bought! Fortunately, this didn’t happen (although “ours” like to do this, but it’s in purely Russian games, for example, Lada Racing).

Honor and praise to Nival for managing to preserve at least the gameplay, and for preventing Heroes of Might and Magic 5 from becoming just another real-time strategy game. However, the plot turned out to be not very good. There was a misstep here. Although Nival claims that the plot was Ubisoft's initiative, they managed to defend the gameplay! Apparently, the Nival team decided to take the path of least resistance and created something that can be called a good game based on the Heroes series. Not Heroes 5, but a game in the style of Heroes 5. This is better than nothing, but worse than what was expected. Unfortunately, we need to be more modest in our expectations. Or play the previous installments. It's a pity.

Nival did a good job! They stood their ground on something... and now they can dictate the terms!!!

The main thing is that these conditions shouldn't involve more money, cars, and apartments, but should be aimed at improving the game. Maybe after the expansion, the game will fit into the Heroes universe!

))What terms can Nival dictate now, and to whom?

Since Nival created the game, Ubisoft won't be able to develop the project without Nival. It's possible that Nival will buy back the brand... So, my point is that now Nival can add more and better content to the game, without strictly adhering to Ubisoft's views...

I don't think Ubisoft will just give up on such a valuable asset. It's a great brand! The best thing Nival can do is listen to the fans' opinions and present them to Ubisoft as an argument for returning to the series' traditions.

I don't think Ubisoft will just give up on such a lucrative franchise. It's such a strong brand! The best thing Nival can do is listen to the fans' opinions and present them to Ubisoft as an argument for returning to the series' traditions.

That's true! I hope Nival does that... and I also think the game will continue to develop!

I would like to hope that won't happen. Otherwise, Nival might follow the path of NWC and try to make money by releasing all sorts of nonsense under the guise of continuing the Heroes series. There are many advantages in Heroes of Might and Magic V, but they could be easily ruined.

I would like to hope so. Otherwise, Nival might follow the path of NWC and want to make money by releasing all sorts of nonsense under the guise of a continuation of the Heroes series. There are many advantages in the fifth installment, but they can be easily ruined.

I doubt they will do that... after all, they are all aware of the sad fate of NWC....

history teaches us only that it teaches us nothing. As long as there are prerequisites for a return to the series' traditions and for making money, everything is in the hands of Nival and Ubisoft.

This was their (NWC) last way to make some money at the expense of their reputation! I understand them, I feel sorry for them! But what else could they do! A hopeless situation! This was necessary in the development of history, like feudal fragmentation for almost any country (I don't know history well, but I know this for sure). On the other hand, now everyone knows that you can't listen to fans (unless it's with a most thorough analysis)! Because they (all of them in general) don't even know what they want themselves and think that if everything is made easier and stuffed with all sorts of interesting things, it will be much more fun to play! And then they are surprised themselves why it's so boring and wrong! For example, a long time ago playing the third one, I thought how great it would be if you could recruit an army every day bit by bit, otherwise you get tired of waiting, and for the hero to fight a little in battle, and most certainly for the army to move on its own (I'm sure many people had this idea)! But practice showed the opposite! It's that simple!

Please don't think I'm a complete noob! But even in Heroes 3, and still to this day, I don't know what "rough terrain" (logistics) is.

Hmm! By the way, I still don't know! I never really thought about it! Hey everyone! Does anyone know?! (His message has been up for over a day now!)
