Yes, the wizard hero also disappointed me a lot. In Heroes 5, playing as a wizard was not really worthwhile. There are few skill slots for experience, and to make the wizard truly stronger than a warrior, you need to spend at least 3 skill slots on magic (i.e., 2 slots for light or dark magic, etc., and one slot for a skill that makes the hero cast spells more often). In Heroes 6, it's even worse, especially when it comes to offensive magic! I remember King's Bounty; there, the wizard was a real wizard, and it was a pleasure to play as him, but here... I'll quote a video that appeared on +100500: "Let's start over, Black Hole, everything is

Indeed, playing as a Mage in Heroes 5 didn't really make sense; there are few skill slots for gaining experience, and for a Mage to actually be stronger than a Warrior, you need to spend at least 3 skill slots on magic.

WHAT?

Offensive magic was completely nerfed in the sixth installment. At the same time, vampirism is available from the very first level, which, frankly, raises some questions for me, just as does healing, which now resurrects!

2) It’s inconvenient to upgrade troops. When I was in the Castle, I first had to enable the troop redemption option, and only then did I find the long-awaited option. In terms of functionality, this is time-consuming, in my opinion.
3) Moving troops from one cell to another is only possible by dragging. Clicks don’t work. I didn’t like it.
4) There is no confirmation prompt for passing the turn if the heroes still have movement points left. Considering the confusion with the windows and some habits from previous games, I accidentally clicked on the lower right corner three times. I lost three days as a result.

These are all cosmetic issues, which are permissible at the beta or demo level. The main thing is that the developers figure out how to fix them.

7) I only played as the Knight, but these sisters of theirs are... how to put it... a great unit. Overpowered. The Knight’s start is very strong thanks to them.

Yeah, and the Naga’s Medusa is even more powerful. Regeneration (less powerful, but lasts for three turns!) and shooting without a penalty.

Maybe, but they might not figure it out in the end. And after that, it will be unlikely that they will change the visuals.
They really messed up with the magic system...

Don't say that; sometimes, these things aren't finished even by the release, and then they appear as patches. Although the game has enough problems without all of this.

I couldn't find the remaining campaign files in the game resources. I found the ones that work, but I couldn't locate the rest.

I played the demo, in multiplayer mode, and at some point, I just stopped receiving crystals, even though I had 3 mines. I checked the kingdom's income, and it showed an income of 4 wood, 5 ore, some gold, and a blank space for crystals. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Indeed, playing as a Mage in Heroes 5 was not a good idea at all. There are few skill slots for experience, and for the Mage to actually be stronger than a Warrior, you need to spend at least 3 skill slots on magic (i.e., 2 slots for light or dark magic, etc., to choose from, and one slot for a skill that makes the hero cast spells more often).

OMG, 3 magic skills for a hero-mage? 2 is already a luxury, and 3 is useless.

Well, in the beta, the gold income in multiplayer clearly didn't match the theoretical value. For example, I had a level 2 city, which should have an income of 1000, but it didn't even reach that, I think it was even less than 500. Or it was 500, I'm not sure, but it was definitely less than a thousand.

Did I say 3 spells?! I said 3 spell slots, 2 specifically for spells and 1 so that the hero casts spells more often (the "WIZARDRY" skill)!

Explain it to me. Seriously, explain why I need to learn two spells. And it's not even necessary to learn spellcasting, although it's desirable.

Hello everyone.
I've encountered a problem: the game keeps having these flashes (like a camera flash), which is very annoying.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello everyone.

As far as I know, there might be one of the following problems, and therefore solutions:

1) Outdated video card drivers

You need to download the latest ones from the manufacturer's website.
If you're playing on a laptop, updating the drivers will be more difficult: most laptop manufacturers forget about their "older" models.
But it's still possible: for example, for laptops with an ATI video card, there's a utility called Mobility Modder that allows you to install new drivers for an old video card.

2) Outdated DirectX

Download the DirectX Web Installer from the Microsoft website and run it.

3) You are playing on a Mac using Crossover Games

Find the configuration file in the game's folder.
Open it in a text editor and change the screen resolution to one that doesn't overlap the game window.
For example, if the screen resolution is 1440x900, set it to 1440x720 in the settings.

If nothing helps, change the resolution manually, following the instructions in point 3 - it might help.

There wasn't a case where they completely stopped giving crystals. But the fact that the income sometimes halves, and it's clearly not a festival week, does happen. It can be fixed by loading the game on the 7th day a certain number of times. And in general, there are still a lot of bugs, but it's just a beta.

Explain it to me. Seriously, explain why it's necessary to level up two schools of magic? And it's not even mandatory to level up spellcasting, although it's desirable.

Warriors don't need it, but when playing as a mage or a Necromancer, you have to spend 2 skill points on magic.
