Posts from Heroes 6 - Discussion Auto-translated

If the dwarves are made the same way again, it would be better if they didn't make them at all. Although, looking at all the factions, the developers have enough imagination to add new units for the dwarves...

Typical logic of foolish fans - "more races! hooray!". And it doesn't matter that the castles will be made the same way. The wrapper is shiny.

This isn't the logic of fans; it's the developers' desire to make more money. Remember Heroes 4? Was the game bad just because they didn't add new factions? And since they only made 5 factions, they could have added more neutral creatures.

Well, adding some new castles to the expansion pack could be seen as an attempt to "make more money." But on the other hand, wouldn't the same fans complain that they were given just a map pack instead of a full-fledged expansion? It's all relative.

In the fourth installment, the magic system, skills, and heroes were designed in such a way that nothing could be removed or added. And if the sixth installment is closer to the other parts, which I am more than sure it will be, then it will be possible to add a few new factions without harming the entire gameplay system. Honestly, at least a new faction is better than two or three new campaigns and one and a half neutral creatures.

Indeed, a new race is better than two or three new campaigns and one and a half new neutral creatures.

That's true. Besides, many fans are complaining about the lack of elves (and I also regret that they are not included). Some miss the Elven Alliance, others the Tower. So, there will be demand for add-ons. The only question is when these add-ons will be released.
P.S. I don't even know where to write this.
In short, I am proud that my translations of the descriptions of demons, humans, and undead creatures, as well as the Archangel Michael, were used in the "Information about Races" section.

If new factions are added with the expansions, I think they will start with mages to complete the storyline with necromancers and orcs. Then they will develop the elven story, adding two elven factions at once. Perhaps all three will be included in one expansion, rather than two.

In principle, they could create one general faction for elves. Or two factions, but not High Elves and Dark Elves, but High Elves and Faceless Ones. Or they will surprise us with something outrageously illogical...

I think they'll introduce either same-name Ironland Elves or TE in the addon

It's true that, in any case, a new race is better than two or three new campaigns and one and a half neutrals.

Yes, but the plot also plays a significant role in the game. I don't think anyone plays Heroes just to look at the units.

On the other hand, wouldn't those same fans be whining that they were shoved some map pack instead of a full-fledged expansion?

Gameplay is the most important thing in the game. And Factions are just a way to diversify it slightly; besides, the fewer factions there are, the easier they are to balance...

Give the editor to a dedicated fan, and they'll create fan-made maps for the fourth installment that are many times more interesting than the original ones. And yes, for me, "looking at the units" is almost as important as beating the main villain in the game.

Facebook update provides more details about the hero from the Stronghold campaign, Sandor.

It's unlikely they'll copy old units, but there's no way they can create a new race – they wouldn't have enough time to come up with it and implement it:smile19:

The most important thing in the game is the gameplay. Factions are just a way to add a little variety to it, and besides, the fewer factions there are, the easier it is to balance them...

Many fans would say exactly that if they were accused of being greedy for castles. But they would still complain. Double standards are double standards.
There were times when add-ons were just map packs, and that lasted until the intervention of Russian players. The story with the Conflux is a bit silly, and no one is really interested in it.

5 castles is good, now the main storyline.

Are they all relatives?

The portraits seem better than the overall art. At least the demon looks decent.
I wonder what the Naga's royal offspring will do. Okay, a guy joined the Orcs, wanting to seize power from his knight brother (I don't think he joined them just to save the Orcs). Let's see what kind of "Santa Barbara" the developers have come up with.

And the orcs turned out quite well.
