Posts from Heroes 6 - Discussion Auto-translated

The maps in the sixth installment are incredibly beautiful... They remind me of the third and fourth games – you can feel the sense of space again. :rolleyes: The design is stunning, simply impeccable! It immediately makes the game more enjoyable to play when you have such beauty before you. "A Beautiful New World" didn't disappoint – the map is excellent, it evokes nostalgia... And the game starts to become more appealing... I hope the patches will do their job and the sixth installment will take on the form that I expected from it. :)

I got it, opened it, and an error message popped up. What am I doing wrong?

I don't understand. Can you describe it in more detail?

There are no particularly negative impressions of the game. Overall, I enjoyed it. I haven't figured everything out yet, of course. The windows for the castle, hero, etc., are different from the previous installments, which feels a bit unusual. I don't like that you can't rotate the camera during battles or on the map; I think removing this feature was a mistake.

I downloaded the archive and tried to run its contents, but I immediately got a message saying that an error occurred and the application will be closed.

Same error. I launched it from the desktop, tried running it in compatibility mode and as an administrator – no luck. Or do I need to put them somewhere in the game folder?

You can rotate the map like that; hold down ctrl+←, ctrl+→. On the map, it's only for viewing purposes and returns to the original position, but on the battlefield, it stays fixed, so you can remove that as a negative point. :smile26:

I had the same problem; I downloaded a repacked version of Heroes without a crack, and it ran normally.

Regarding Heroes in general... My impressions:
I've been playing since the first installment. In each part, I played and realized that with each new release, the heroes became more beautiful and vibrant. The musical score became almost the main event for me personally, because in each part, there is music that is close to me because of its melodiousness and beautiful echoes of previous parts of the series.
Regarding the 6th part, it's hard to say definitively whether it's "good" or "bad," whether it's been improved and reworked compared to other parts. As they say, "there's no accounting for taste," and this also applies to the heroes. Some people liked it, some didn't; it's everyone's business and a matter of personal preference, but the fact is that it has undergone changes. In my opinion, parts 3 and 5 are closer to my heart (and to many of you), and even more so part 5, probably because we were the developers! Russians have a broader, more beautiful, and more vibrant imagination; that's why the 1988 Olympics with the bear is still remembered all over the world!
The simplified 6th part will add more players from all over the world to online battles. Why is this being done? It's very simple: the heroes are undergoing a transition from a turn-based strategy to an online RPG version, similar to well-known games like Lineage 2, World of Warcraft, etc.
Again, these are just guesses

Yes, judging by some dynasty bonuses, it seems to be heading in that direction. It's interesting, in principle. Although the strategic aspect suffers as a result.

You can rotate the map like this; hold down Ctrl + ←, Ctrl + →. On the map, it's only for viewing purposes and returns to the original position, but in battle, it stays fixed, so remove that as a negative point.

My keyboard isn't working in the game; I don't know what's going on. I used to be able to rotate it with the mouse.

Guys, you need to run it through the console, and specify the path to the archive as a parameter. Mamaich isn't Bill Gates, so he won't create a user interface for you ;)

For some reason, the game seems too difficult, even on easy mode. In the 3rd mission for Necropolis, I reach Miranda, and her army is twice as strong as mine. I don't know how to pass it.

So, my biggest fear didn't come true - the campaign is interesting to play.

I haven't noticed it yet... I completed the introductory mission - the last mission is boring due to its monotony. I started the campaign for Haven - they gave me a hero without a portrait, and even a Necromancer, although the city is human, but you can only build and upgrade the basic structures. But if you convert it into a Necropolis castle, all types of troops become available. For now, I'm playing with humans, relying on morale and willpower, but it's quite boring...

Koshka already raised this question, I'll repeat it: how to change the starting hero in regular maps? If there is an answer, please provide a link to it.

Also, the game crashes when I load a campaign save through the main menu. If I click "Campaign - Load," it seems to work.

What's so complicated about it?

The difficulty is that there is no Conflux.

It won't work without it.
