Why is everyone so negative about the screenshots? They say it looks dull and unappealing. Do you remember the previous installments, when they released screenshots of the town screens, and then the actual game turned out to be much more interesting and beautiful? I think these photos are just an approximate representation of what it will be like; in reality, it will be different.

Winner, what's not relevant here? We're discussing Heroes 6.

I've never played the Heroes games before. They say the previous installments are even more interesting. I don't want to buy pirated copies because they often have cut graphics and sound... Where and how can I find a legitimate copy so I can play properly?

Yes, this applies exclusively to Heroes 6 and does not in any way affect the issue of acquiring previous installments, which have their own sections on the forum. And besides, an answer has been given, and the moderator's word is law.

Purchasing previous installments, just like Heroes 6, makes sense because licensed versions include expansions and have better graphics and sound. If you have issues with the new game, just say so. Any post here relates to something else besides Heroes 6. For example, there's talk about Black Hole. Or about other game installments, which are also discussed on this forum. Previous game installments are directly related to Heroes 6, as without them, the continuation being discussed here wouldn't have been possible.

You can purchase Heroes, for example, here. You just need to browse the site a little. It's not that difficult or scary, right? :3

Overall, the game is not bad... :)) I found a couple of minor flaws. The developers would probably be interested in knowing about them. I also have some suggestions on how to make the game controls more user-friendly. And, of course, I have some ideas for new features that I would like to see in the future. I am willing to share them free of charge, as I most likely played a pirated version and my conscience is bothering me.

Drakkosha, thanks for the link. It would have been helpful to have it earlier.

Actually, no. But, you can try to reach out to them. Here. Maybe they'll see your post among the 2,000 others :)

In reality, there are more flaws than it seems. However, the developers haven't been interested in addressing them until now.
But now, you can feel the effort, possibly due to the involvement of Limbic Entertainment. With patch 1.4, it became possible to play custom maps in Multiplayer, which is very pleasing.
If everything goes smoothly with patch 1.5, the game will look decent. The announced adjustments will be beneficial. However, there are no visible adjustments to the balance of the Barbarian Tribes, which is the weakest race, and my favorite.
As for the city screens, based on the screenshots, I definitely like them. I don't see the point in making 3D screens, because in Heroes 5, to be honest, after flying around the castle twice, it became uninteresting to look at them; I always used a static camera, but it undoubtedly looked beautiful. Here, these screens are definitely a plus, and without them, it was a bit boring.
But I wonder, will all these belated adjustments and fixes bring back that percentage of the audience who have already become disappointed in the game...?

The Stronghold faction is the weakest race.

I agree.

These belated adjustments and fixes will only bring back a percentage of the audience that has already become disappointed with the game.

That's unlikely. And, to be honest, town screens are the last thing I'd want to see in the upcoming patches. There are more important issues -_-

Shukfir, they don't find it interesting. But for me, some minor bugs in the game turned out to be quite amusing. For example, when a centaur finishes off a griffin with a preemptive strike. There are also problematic glitches, one of which even causes the game to freeze sometimes...

Xodyn, I don't even bother with patches; I only managed to get a pirated copy. And patches often fix not exactly what you'd like... The Stronghold faction also appealed to me; with them, my effectiveness is always more than 100 percent in battles. Although, with other factions, I haven't reached 100% yet. Regarding adjustments, in my opinion, some details in the game need to be completely reworked. And some unnecessary things should be removed and replaced. A decent imbalance is visible in the development of skills; in general, a large part of it is nonsense. But by today's standards, the game still turned out very well. I am satisfied. :D

This isn't a bug; it's a declared special ability of the centaur.

I_N, Seriously?? And the griffin that didn't make it to the ground and died in the air... is that perhaps a declared special inability of the griffin to land on the ground?? :)

What, after getting hit by an arrow, was it supposed to land first and then die? Everything is realistic)))
