Posts from Heroes 6 - Discussion Auto-translated

The auto-update has started, but I'll wait 15 minutes to check what I downloaded.

On the Hugo forum, they say that this 1.2 version weighs 612MB, and the next one will weigh 580MB. So, we'll have to wait...
If anyone's updater isn't working, here's the link they posted: http://static2.cdn.ubi.com/patches/HOMM6/homm6_public_closed_beta_1.03.exe

Ah, so I was reading about the new maps :). I thought you were talking about changes to the game mechanics…

Oh, great! Then I’ll be uploading the patch tomorrow.

Adagio, allow me to disagree with you! Personally, this testing phase was more interesting to me; I wanted to see all the Factions in battle, and the new multiplayer maps contribute to that. I wanted to make it before the start of the stage, which was promised as early as the 9th, but again, I didn't manage to do it :(.</

Adagio, I must disagree with you! Personally, I found this testing phase more interesting; I wanted to see all the Factions in battle, and the new multiplayer maps contribute to that. I wanted to be ready for the start of the phase, which was promised as early as the 9th, but, again, I didn't make it.

I didn't put everyone in the same category. The fact that there are interested people is a fact, yes, I don't argue. But for many, the game either gets boring quickly or is not interesting at all. Fortunately for the developers, you are among the first. :) I am somewhere in between them.

And in general... The new voice acting for warriors in battle... They should have ruined, for example, the priestesses and ghosts... It's awful. At least they slightly improved the city windows. The appearance of the city on the map has become better in terms of the presence of splashes and the natural beginning of waterfalls. But once again (apparently, already in the style of a sequel), fixing one flaw leads to the appearance of another, previously absent... Now, the water areas on the territory of the Sanctuary Fortress do not look like the rest of the water on the adventure map, but before the update, it was exactly like that... Just a flat surface... And the highlights remained - it looks funny... As if they are floating in the air...
I even liked the alpha version more than the current beta. The more they reveal, the less the game attracts (me personally). I hope that the final version of the game will still leave a better impression. Although, if I count how many times I have hoped in this thread... Olo-lo, there are no other words... Keep hoping, they say.

Does anyone know who Archangel Michael is and what he does? I understand that he is on the side of Haven, but I suspect that in the end, he will switch sides and join Lucifer.

As far as I understand, yes. A fallen angel, whom you will have to fight in one of the campaigns.

Is this related to a connection with the old world?

Week of the Ancients
A week where strange lights can be spotted in Ashan's night sky.

Oh, the video is great. Pavel is doing a great job crushing skeletons :). I was also pleased that a demo version is available.

There are two Archangels in the game (they showed all the bosses taken from the editor somewhere). Michael will probably be fighting someone else, but on the side of good.

Okay, the update has been downloaded. It's time to join the testing :cool:.

I will personally be testing today until my hands get tired or the hardware fails! ))

Has anyone completed the campaign about the water faction? The Haven faction has an insane army there; it's hard to break through such a horde.

I played it in the alpha version. I just assembled an army and crushed everything.

Can anyone tell me, who exactly is the archangel Michael?

A great hero. A renowned angel commander.

I understand that he is on the side of Haven, but I suspect that in the end he will switch to Lucifer's side.

Firstly, there is no "Lucifer" here, unless one of the demon lords is given that name. Secondly, the traitor is Sarah, which is clearly visible in the very first video. No, it is not impossible that Michael's plans are not the most benevolent, but I don't think he will side with Urgash.

The video is incredibly epic. Will Anton immediately be some kind of uber-hero, or what?

So, here are my new impressions of version 1.3 beta of "Heroes 6". First of all, Ubi has "updated" its Russian language as well :D; all the texts have become much more readable. Only the "select" and "skillful" creatures (elite and champion) cause indignation. Water elementals, by the way, no longer "require payment" for their use ;). And the Nagas, who walk on water without a ship, are now more useful on water maps, as a ship costs as much as 20 wood! Converting a town costs depending on the buildings constructed in it - a fully built town is converted for 20+ wood, ore, and crystals, and 20,000+ gold, which is not good :(. Now there is a debate about the effectiveness of basic and elite troops. The latter have much more health and twice the damage, while the former have a triple growth rate. But, in general, elite troops are much stronger than ordinary ones, although their damage is at the level of basic troops due to the large growth rate of the latter. Champions are now also bought in bulk - 5 per week from one town (1 basic, +1 for upgrade, +1 for fort, +1 for improved fortifications, +1 for best fortifications). If they are built, for example, at the beginning of the second month, they will quickly overtake the other troops in damage, but not in survivability. In general, the dynasty system is an interesting idea, especially now - when you can buy new portraits, titles, bonuses, and artifacts and distribute them to the heroes of your dynasty. Dynasty heroes are used in Multiplayer and in duels; for duels, you can distribute 30 skill points, and for Multiplayer, you can choose a dynasty bonus in advance (up to 4). The dynasty bonus is also chosen before the Campaign mission. The balance, unfortunately, is poor, although not as bad as the guys from Hugo's Corner claim. But the fact that Heroes 6 has a bright wrapper is definitely a fact :).

Has anyone completed the water campaign? The Light faction has an insane army there; it's hard to break through such a horde.

I finished it. It’s difficult, but doable. I lured out the human hero from the cities and converted them – that did the trick. Of course, I had to fight, barely managing to hold on, but I made it.

P.S. Will someone finally answer my question at this link?!
