Posts from Heroes 6 - Discussion

Let's hope that the work is still in progress.

According to Irina Kassina, the work never stops. ;)

Good ALWAYS triumphs over evil!

In movies, yes, but not in reality.

I played Broken Alliance on the difficult level against 5 strong AIs two more times. In the first scenario, I started by clearing out the tough neutrals at gate 16 with 16 Spectres plus one Skeleton Warrior (1st screenshot). In the second scenario, I started by clearing out the tough neutrals at gate 8 with 8 Spectres plus one Skeleton Warrior, and this is what I got (2nd screenshot). In the second scenario, I upgraded Stone Skin and Retaliation 1, 2. Stone Skin is a great ability; Spectres, combined with Regeneration and Stone Skin, can withstand the attacks of tough neutrals with minimal damage. With 8 Spectres, I managed to defeat 56 Dogs and 50 Fanatics. 14 Spectres easily defeated 70 Pearl Priests (even though they deal magic damage); at first, I was afraid to fight them, but then I easily won, although my hero was already quite powerful (Luna). There were no economy heroes.
I upgraded the heroes as follows: Regeneration, Education, Stone Skin, Retaliation 1, 2, Logistics, Secret Keeper 1, 2, Guardian 1. I'm not sure about Retaliation 1, but I didn't really understand Retaliation 2, as I only got the chance for an extra attack once or twice during the entire game. I had the Necromancer's Amulet, and that's a great item; I hadn't really noticed it before, but with it, you quickly gain Necromancy points.
I'm attaching screenshots of two different games. In both scenarios, it took the same amount of time: 13 or 14 days. On the way, I got distracted by battles with neutrals for resources (but they aren't really needed for this tactic). If I hadn't, I could have played faster.
SUMMARY. It's possible to play 2 or 3 days faster. But that's not as interesting.

I tried playing the second mission for the humans on the new patch. And it seems like the AI has become more aggressive. They are now actively using griffins to bombard (even the upgraded ones). The healers not only heal but also move around the battlefield. They don't hesitate to use mass healing and single-target healing spells. And all this is on easy difficulty.
But the spider queen bug still hasn't been fixed.

1.3 When will it be released approximately, because it's already the end of March.

When will 1.3 be released, approximately? It's already the end of March.

My game was updated; maybe this is patch 1.3. Am I mistaken?

So, I decided to DOWNLOAD your "sixth" installment. It turned out to be quite "boring" for the HEROES. I started several times, on a "medium" MAP, with one "average" AI. The "hero development" system is boring, the "city screen" is boring, and the "battles" are boring.
They really had to come up with the idea to remove the ability to arrange TROOPS before the "battle" again. Everything is so sluggish. There's so much, but it's completely "unappealing" to grasp all aspects of the GAME.
I tried starting with all the "factions," and even the UNITS don't impress me; they look much BETTER on the "art."
Not great, overall.

Alright, Vissy. Try playing duels against strong opponents – they’ll quickly defeat you. I haven’t played Heroes VI much lately, but that’s because I have a bug in the campaign that won’t go away. The system is good, the graphics are too, but I’m more annoyed by the bugs in the game, which makes me not want to play. But I believe that with the next patches and updates, the bugs will disappear and the game will run faster.

What are you talking about? I'm not interested in playing against any AI, whether it's STRONG, MEDIUM, or WEAK. It's not interesting. I'm not interested in the game itself, but rather in the presented difficulty.

So, I decided to BUY this collector's edition of "Heroes VI". It turned out to be quite "amazing" for the HEROES series. I started several times on a "large" MAP, with one "powerful" AI and a bunch of neutral cities with decent guards. The "development" system for the HERO is cool, the city "screen" is nice, and the "battles" are exciting, especially with the animations.
They really came up with an interesting way to implement the abilities of UNITS and the hero's participation in "battle". It's all so cool. There's so much to it, and I don't mind spending time "learning" all the aspects of the GAME.
I tried playing as all the "factions"; the UNITS are really enjoyable, and they look GOOD on the "art".
Overall, it's great.

On the official forum, they wrote that the update will be released next week. Another delay, a half-month of silence. Bravo, they know how to keep their word.

Let's discuss.

1. There are no difficult maps. But they should appear soon.

A rather dubious criterion.

3. A large number of spells and abilities.

Not that many, firstly. Secondly: most of them are just an upgrade of the previous ability by 10% or something else.

4. There are bugs, but they are everywhere.

In terms of the amount of arguing on the forum, the sixth installment gives almost all the other parts a run for their money.

5. But there are no such arrogant cheating heroes-AI anywhere. And that's exciting.

This is incredibly boring; it's great to play against cheaters, it's really interesting. Who even plays against the AI? Who has ever played?

So, Heroes 6 is the most challenging installment. IMHO. So, it's the most interesting. IMHO.

Playing against the AI is not interesting by definition.

Damn, the game has such a cute 3D, or whatever you want to call it, but you can't rotate the camera. Why? What the heck?
The lack of a full-fledged city screen also looks poor, like you're entering some kind of crypt/mill/dwelling.

There is definitely one plus: the plot is much better than the poor excuse for a story in Heroes 5. Although it doesn't quite reach the level of Might and Magic 2-7 and Heroes of Might and Magic 2-4.

Damn, the game looks so cute in 3D, or whatever you call it, but you can't rotate the camera. Why? What the heck?

You can rotate it there. Delete, Page Down.

Those who know the special Mayan spell can do anything :) With the help of clever key combinations in the game, you can create a smart AI that doesn't cheat, fix bugs, connect to an opponent with the GOG version from the Steam version in online mode, and much more :)
