Does anyone know what the system requirements will be for Heroes 6? I'm planning to buy a new computer and would like Heroes 6 to run smoothly. Thanks.

Valen, Heroes 6 isn't out yet! And it will only be released in the spring of next year. Or maybe in the summer... How could anyone know the system requirements? Unless it's the developers. But I think they'll be only slightly higher than those of Heroes 5.

Does anyone know what system requirements will be needed for Heroes 6, because I want to buy a new computer and would like Heroes 6 to run smoothly?

The game hasn't been released yet. There will definitely be some graphics settings that allow the sixth installment to run smoothly even on not-so-new computers. But judging by the screenshots, I advise you to get a better video card.
And I won't be surprised if the installation of the sixth game consumes a lot of gigabytes of memory.

P.S. Want to chat aimlessly? Then go to the... chat room.

There are no system requirements yet, but the developers have promised that there will be low graphics settings, allowing the game to run even on laptops (presumably, inexpensive laptops). By the way, this may have been stated as a counterpoint to the fifth installment, which had a number of compatibility issues with some portable computers.

1) So, they will work for me.

I'm all for it, that would be great.
Regarding the topic, it doesn't really matter who's involved, the main thing is that the factions are more interesting, with new units, abilities, etc.

I have the same problem; the password was even written on a piece of paper, but I couldn't log in to the site because I didn't receive any notifications in my email; I didn't even see the activation message. I would like to have elves and some kind of sea faction, like the Cove in Heroes 3; you can also have mages instead of elves, but all 5 races should return in the add-ons; just don't have 5 gnomes; you can add dwarves, giants, and yetis, etc.

Or maybe the new faction will be a dinosaur race :D. No one would expect that, and the jungle environment suits them :smile04:

A dinosaur unit could definitely work. After all, dinosaurs were featured in Might and Magic 1-3.

But in general, the appearance of elves is very likely, since the mages have not yet quarreled with the necromancers (probably the moment of the feud will be covered in the expansion).

HoMM3 turned out to be a long-lived game like StarCraft, but I think that HoMM6 might overshadow HoMM3, or that someday a part will be released that will overshadow HoMM3, just like StarCraft 2 overshadowed the first part.

No part will overshadow another; the audiences are different. But I think that most fans of the series will not switch to the sixth game, but will continue to play their favorite parts. In StarCraft, unlike Heroes, there are no fundamental changes.

I didn't say that most fans of the series would switch to the sixth game; I meant that it might overshadow the third game, and the series will acquire new fans. Besides, I think that the sixth game will fundamentally change the Heroes series due to the large number of changes, although some of these changes may not be accepted by the Heroes fans.

Exactly, instead of releasing a product that is likely to please the fans of the series (most of them, that is), the developers are making who knows what, although such experiments often fail (DMC5 (a guaranteed failure), C&C4, and so on).

Experiments are experiments; you need to use something new. The developers don't care whether it will please the fans or not. As for DMC 5, I don't know, but C&C 4 is complete nonsense; I played it for 10 minutes and couldn't stand it anymore.

Don't be silly; for the developers, the game is not a work of art (except in rare cases), but a way to make money. It is well known that the fans of Heroes want to see "all the same, but more and better"; they don't need "revolutions". And these experiments are of the kind "fixing what wasn't broken," instead of diversifying the tactics and bringing the balance to perfection, the developers are creating something that vaguely resembles "Heroes."

The developers are experimenting with Heroes, adding something and removing something according to the wishes of the fans, and that's a fact. Read any interview; they do all this for profit, how else can it be for large companies? It will be difficult to diversify the tactics; this is not an RTS or a Disciples game with its branches of development, where one branch is radically different from another. Although, you could introduce a system like in Heroes 4. The balance in 5 was excellent; I think it will be okay in 6, as can be seen from Warhammer and Armies Exigo; Black Hole knows how to balance the races.

Well, you need to choose normal ideas; it is unlikely that any sane Heroes fan wanted them to remove many types of resources. And you need to understand which ideas are beneficial and which are not. In the end, fans want to play Heroes, real Heroes, and not what Asshole developers are doing.

I think the number of resources is a feature of Heroes, and I am not happy with the reduction of resources. Indeed, Heroes is a TBS, and fans want to play a TBS, not an RTS, which is what the reduction of resources leads to.

That's what I'm saying; new features should be beneficial, but proven features should not be changed, and Asshole has messed everything up.


Black Hole is doing a great job! It's better to finally introduce changes than to keep repeating the same old concept! Fanatical fools will continue to play their parts, not accepting anything new, while noble and intelligent people will be interested in exploring new things, and then either spit them out or play them with pleasure. "More of everything" is no longer needed by anyone. Why does anyone need ten more cookie-cutter castles? It's great that at least someone has moved away from the trend of churning out another mediocre game for profit, starting to implement ideas. You don't need to turn this series into another endless stream of crap or Final Fantasy.
I can play the second Disciples as much as I want, but I don't even perceive the third one. And no butthurt, no opening parentheses.

A new image appeared on Facebook, and it might be a symbol of one of the two unannounced factions:smile01:, or am I missing something?

I would like Heroes of Might and Magic to generate maps with varied terrain: so that there are hills. Because now everything is on a flat surface (mountains don't count - you can't climb them). You climb a hill - you can see far, far away.

A solar symbol and some kind of plant. What could it be? It's either Elves or Mages, but that's a last resort.

The "Solar Sign" strongly resembles the molecular structure of iron.

I had the same thought XD

Also, the symbol in the center could represent a "trinity," referring to Ashu. And the eight-pointed star is basically a Tzeentch symbol from Warhammer XD
Well, let's wait and see, but I still think the developers won't skip elves, even if they are jelly-like XD
