Posts from Heroes 6 - Discussion

I think you're misunderstanding the purpose of Q&A videos. In the Q&A, we'll answer as many questions as possible, as long as it doesn't overlap with things that are part of the PR plan.
So, if you're looking for big news and big announcements, you probably won't find it in the Q&A videos, but in the press releases.
However, if you want more details and additional info about things that have been hinted at or not elaborated upon yet, I (or whoever appears in future videos) will do our best to say as much as we can.

Speaking of press releases, one should come near the end of February. The next Q&A will be available before that, possibly this week.

The musical theme for the Great Horde in Heroes of Might and Magic VI (presumably).

Doesn't it bother you that this musical theme, which is the menu theme of a flash game, is already several years old, and that it was inexplicably picked out by some random, misguided fan from thousands of random videos on YouTube, based on the coincidence of "stronghold-stronghold"?

Here is the real theme of the Stronghold faction, information from LaBoule!

The only thing that's unclear is whether the "center of the frame" features a Necropolis fort or a castle?

Some new things from a local game magazine (I don't guarantee that all are 100% true):

- The reputation system has Dragon Tears and Dragon Blood points. Earning Dragon Tears will make your hero more of a Roland type, while Dragon Blood will make him more of an Archibald type.
Reputation also influences spells - like better healing (tears) or stronger fireball (blood)

- We see the Necromancer advanced class - Embalmer - in the Igromir video. The other class is called Reaper.

- A hero can learn an advanced class when he has enough reputation points AND visits a special building in the city called the Chamber of Judgement. He can change his advanced class every ten levels (but not in the campaign - in the campaign, the hero's class choice will influence the ending).

- Reputation points can be earned, for example, by helping NPCs or allowing neutral armies/monsters to escape (tears).

- It seems there will be two endings (epilogue maps) in the campaign. Depending on the player's choices, one of them will be the end map for him/her.

Poor quality scan of the skill tree (article in the Polish magazine CD-Action 3/2011).

Maybe it's just another boss or neutral creature.

Eureka! The Nagas will be defeated; look what I found. From the description of the Jaguar Warriors' ability:
"It was a rain of claws, and their roar thundered like thunder." Many Nagas consider the Panther Warriors to be the most beautiful and most dangerous enemy. Their fierce onslaught, driven by instinct, crashes upon the enemy formation like a summer storm. Not only their immediate target but also those nearby must take cover from the downpour of fury and death.
