Posts from Heroes 6 - Discussion

I am very grateful for your efforts, but in this window, I already have all the AI settings configured. However, when I click on the selection, I don't see any options, and by the way, I have a list of maps on the side.
Of course, I will try tomorrow, maybe I'm missing something, maybe it's not a game bug but a mistake due to my inattention. Thank you again.

Do you have a pirated copy with the latest patch? I don't remember what the game version menu looks like without the Fest Daily patch...

What version of the patch is it, or can you send me a link to it in a private message? I haven't installed the patch.

The quick keys W (wait) and D (defend) don't work.

Klivren It seems like it was being updated when I launched the game, you know, when you start the game and Ubisoft updates are being downloaded. Is that right?

Yes, if you launched it through the launcher, I launched it through a shortcut with a parameter. I won't write what it is because piracy is prohibited.
I'll make a detailed screenshot on how to launch the "hot seat" mode.

If it doesn't work this time either, I'll give up.

Well, judging by my old-school friends...

I'm not quite talking about that. I'm talking about the loss of dynamism in these battles. Previously, any mistake had its consequences (limited resurrection), and the damage of the units was much higher. As a result, the battles were faster.
But 6HoMM is built on the principle of "drag out the battle as long as possible" – medics, strong healing magic, incredibly powerful mass vampirism, tough units.

Ima, 2D 3x is the best.

Consider, for example, the human units: a paladin in shining armor with a spear (SLA), a paladin SLA with a crossbow, a nun (wow, not a paladin SLA, a breakthrough!), a paladin on a shining white horse SLA, a shining golden thing (it's great to create a unit in a prequel that doesn't appear in the 5th part, don't you think? Although maybe they died on the way to the 5th part, who knows), then – a paladin SLA with wings, called an angel. It's great when a tier 1 unit looks like a tier 3 unit, and all the other units are clones of each other, don't you think?

X3, I played Civ normally.

But again – there weren't such terrible bugs as in HoMM6.

And your "it's always been like that" surprises me. Do you really enjoy playing such a raw product?

You're talking directly – healing (and buffs/debuffs/disables). And it determines the battles, killing the dynamics.

P.S. I'm curious why the developers, in the process of simplifying the game, didn't go all the way and leave only one resource – gold and one unit with the same parameters but different models (as in Warcraft 2). What, it's quite logical. And you don't have to think about balance.

There are no worse or better parts in Heroes. Each one is better in some ways and worse in others. Official statement from an old-school player.

Try registering a different email address with a reliable email service, such as Gmail. Currently, it is one of the most reliable email systems.

probably the smartest thought in this whole discussion.

You look at the game as a continuation of the old games, rather than as a separate entity (a sign of an old-school player). Here, however, there's a different concept, and resurrection is key. That's the situation.

The resurrection mechanic bothers me not because it's a "new zombie feature" (a thoughtless idea borrowed by developers from other games), but because it simply doesn't suit the Heroes series. It's unnecessary. It never existed (or existed in heavily limited forms) in any of the Heroes games.

Before the 4th installment, no Heroes of Might and Magic game featured a hero that could move around the battlefield...

And I'm ready to praise the developers for the unit design (especially after the fifth game). When my hellish horde clashes with a heavenly paradise on the battlefield, I experience a nerdgasm.
