Were you perhaps playing as humans?

I think Zubr was referring to the Pretorians.

I'm not saying that Heroes 6 will never be good. I'm just expressing my IMHO. I just thought there would be something truly impressive and more innovative. But the statistics and the developers' lack of imagination won.
The balance isn't great, and the idea is even worse (oh, the horror! I thought Heroes 6 would develop the events after Heroes 5, but no! They rewound the story back centuries – they might as well have remembered the Stone Age...). I personally didn't understand the magic (or its development) – although it has a style reminiscent of Heroes 5. I haven't tested all the cards, so I'll stay silent about that. And there are really few units and factions (I like having a huge choice of everything).
Of course, I'm not saying that the game won't get better or worse over time. And I agree that the game will find/has found its fans.
But the developers finally need to think about the customers – because you really pay for an idea, a game (in the full sense of the word – a GAME), and not just a beautiful box and a beautiful GUI (interface).

Guys, I need your help!
I finally downloaded Conflux. Now, in the multiplayer game, I only have one hero, and he's a Barbarian! We usually play with my wife on the same computer, and she also gets the same Barbarian! Is that how it's supposed to be? When will the other factions become available? I, for example, don't want to play as the Stronghold today...

:D Create a hero; to do this, from the main menu, click on your dynasty avatar, then at the bottom, select the icon with several skulls, and click +, now create a hero to your liking ;) I was very pleased with the phrase: I don't want to play as the Tribes today... It feels like you've been playing as them for more than a day :D

Yes, there was an issue with activating the Conflux, so we've been playing in the hotseat mode for 3 weeks now. I've replayed as all the factions.

Perhaps, although I didn't know that spells could be placed on the quick access bar ;).

By the way, who uses this bar and how? I haven't developed a habit of using it...

I put the spells that I use most often on it. So I don't have to dig through the spellbook for too long! :)

Hello everyone!
I have a question: does the event in the intro video, where Anastasia attacks Anton, actually happen in the game? I mean, I've played about 70% of the game, but I haven't seen any hints of it yet.

No, it’s just a video for aesthetic purposes.

they lured and abandoned [the character]
maybe this will be in the expansion pack? Surely, they couldn't just come up with the plot of the video out of nowhere, right? :smile08:

No, no, in the expansions they might just show him making her a kite.

yeah, I guess so ;)
apparently, he still gave her a pretty bad snake :D

o_O and are you saying that everyone is playing as mages? That's quite a statement. I didn't even like playing as mages in Heroes 5 because any magical faction (Dark Elves, Necromancers, Mages) is weaker than a warrior faction (Humans, Inferno, Elves – I'd also include Dwarves here; Orcs are just cannon fodder, as are Necromancers). In this game, mages are practically useless because spells are on cooldown, and a mage without spells is like a warrior without an army. And a warrior's army is always stronger due to superior stats like defense, attack, morale, and luck. I've always played as warriors in Heroes, and in Heroes 6, there's no question about it – mages are just too weak, and there isn't much magic anyway.

And I'd also add that, in my opinion, the strongest faction here is the Orcs (it's hard for me to admit that Orcs can beat both Humans and Necromancers). However, the two most popular factions in Heroes 6 are Necromancers and Humans (both have warrior heroes). By the way, I recommend playing a large map as the Orcs.

Has anyone figured out the principles behind how the arrangement of troops in the hero's menu correlates with their placement in battle? As long as there isn't a stack of elite creatures, the situation is tolerable, and before each battle, you can quickly rearrange your troops with just a couple of clicks. But when all the slots in the army are filled, the pre-battle arrangement turns into an unbearable routine. Repeatedly clicking the same units over and over again during a turn is ridiculous. It's better to do this in StarCraft, arranging injections and ordering five billion Zerglings. Here, it's just torture. I've tried all possible combinations, and ALL of them, I repeat, ALL of them contradict the simple logic that one would expect from the army slot management, the kind that was present in previous installments. :smile35: Just now, the glowing idiots on donkeys started appearing on the right flank, while the archer-guards standing on the edge were pushed back to the third row from the bottom. That's when I realized that I wouldn't be able to handle it and would delete this awful mess of bugs and elementary flaws if I couldn't achieve automatic arrangement of stacks according to their position in the slots. Guys, I love this series with all my heart, but a veil of indignation and frustration has already filled a good half of my mental vision.

It's definitely more interesting to play as mages. I agree about the cooldown – it's annoying, but that's why there's a variety of spells :). Mages, with proper development, still become stronger than warriors. Regarding the orcs, I don't entirely agree: they are undoubtedly strong, but based on tournament experience, humans still dominate ;).

Kappa and Kirin speaking with ordinary human voices – that’s a complete failure. It’s incredibly annoying; who came up with such nonsense?
