Posts from Heroes 6 - Discussion

Since we're talking about the third level of the map, I would prefer it to be an aerial one. You can't place mines there, but you can place other objects on clouds or celestial platforms. Besides, in "Heroes V," the cities of the Academy floated in the sky. So, theoretically, you could place castles there as well. But personally, I think two more logical levels of the map are enough. And, as someone rightly pointed out, the developers are not planning to create a third level of the map. Otherwise, they would have mentioned it as another sensational feature.

So, did they add snow after all? It was really missing in the original "Heroes V."

Yeah, they showed a video installation as part of a set featuring music from the Heroes games. It depicted a snowy landscape with a female hero with blue skin running through it.

An extremely cluttered sky loomed over Ashan five hundred years ago.

Looking at the picturesque water in Heroes VI, I wish the third level was located there (if it existed), and also that there were aquatic creatures :smile13:. A new race, a new level – what does the sky have to do with it? There are no mages :smile13:. The fourth level (the heavens) should be added in an expansion pack, along with mages :D.

Hawk, yes, and in the second expansion they will add a race of Faceless Ones, with Time magic as well, and the fifth level will be a parallel dimension O_o.
P.S. By the way, the skies would suit angels better than mages.

And once again, we come to the cloud elves... They were already mentioned when we talked about transformation, and now we know where they will live :)

Exactly, and they’re jelly-like in water :smile54:.

I don't like the elves in Heroes. In my opinion, they are a weak faction. I'm glad that in Heroes 6, there will be fewer of them. Hooray!!!!!! It is now definitely known that the last race will be the Nagas! *Hello from Grammar Nazi. I apologize, but I can't read this anymore.*

They will be. In the expansions. And they will add dwarves and mages – how could they do without them? ;)

So, are you saying that Nag was officially announced? There was a leak, and we saw the artwork, but Ubisoft pretended that nothing happened :confused:.

P.S.: nation!!

This is just amazing :). Daily screenshots are a great idea. It's about time :). Now I'll have to visit the official website more often.

I liked the elves in all parts of the old universe, but those made-up guys from Heroes 5 just killed it for me. Perhaps only the unicorns and, to some extent, the dragons looked good (IMHO) out of the entire faction; the rest are worse than average. I hope the developers will change their appearance in Heroes 6...

What's with all the negativity towards the elves? They were perfectly fine in Heroes of Might and Magic V! Sure, they might be a little bit effeminate, but that's how they're supposed to be!

But overall, the screenshots look great! Compared to the fifth installment, the colors are much more vibrant, and that's a good thing!

In short, the only elves I don't like are the Wind Dancers: they look like they have a cast on their neck :) It's a shame that the "dark" ones said goodbye to this faction :(

I completely agree; the Wind Dancers are a plagiarism of the Fury, and I didn't like them either. I think they will be replaced with another unit (a dryad caster, which will probably be the case in Heroes 6, an elven archer). If they replace the Wind Dancers, then they need a warrior. As for the faction, despite the appearance of the units, the faction is one of the main ones in the series (in the sense of the nature faction, the bastion, etc.), and therefore it is needed in Heroes 6, but with a reworked appearance. However, looking at the changes to Haven, Orcs, Necropolis, and to some extent Inferno (the faction's appearance is made in similar tones, similar to Heroes 5), I think the elves will be changed as well...

Well, if it's done right, it's done right. I know that elves are always portrayed as weak and effeminate, but let the developers make them however they want, as long as it doesn't look absurd graphically...

I liked the latest screenshot. It shows an earth elemental and a beautiful underground structure, which I would call an evolution of the aforementioned dungeon from Heroes of Might and Magic V. It looks great.
