Posts from Heroes of Might and Magic V [Game Discussion]

They could have just remade it:mad:.
Again, it's all about making money:(.
Nival is collecting puzzles. :D
It's called: collect a game disc and many add-ons, and you'll get Heroes 5:D.

Heroes come and go, but we always need to eat.
Or maybe the add-ons will greatly improve the game, just like with Warcraft:)
P.S. We'll be the ones collecting the puzzles, Nival is making them:)

Of course, if you compare the original Warcraft to version 1.20c, the gameplay has changed significantly.

Of course, if you compare the original Warcraft and version 1.20c, then the gameplay has changed and so on.

That's why I believe that expansions won't make our favorite game worse!!!!!!!

I will continue to develop the topic that I started on the official Nival forum.
These much-hyped Heroes of Might and Magic V cannot really be considered a continuation of the series. Evidence:
1. A new world. This means there is no connection with the other parts of the series. No connection - no continuation of the series. Therefore, the title Heroes of Might and Magic V is inappropriate. Nival's explanations about the difficulty of recreating the world of the old Heroes games are nonsense. It's not difficult at all. Just play the games in the series. Which, by the way, no one at Nival has done. Their familiarity with the series is extremely superficial.
2. Graphics. Even if we don't consider the flawed 3D mode, the situation is generally terrible. First, the Heroes games have never been cartoonish. Second, the graphics of ALL units have been changed beyond recognition. And this is in a series where continuity is key. Third (and this is a jab at Ubisoft), the graphics of the Heroes and Might and Magic games were the same, but now both games are even being made on different engines. And also, beautiful cutscenes! Where did they find beautiful cutscenes in Heroes? In Chronicles, perhaps?
3. Gameplay. A definite slowdown in the gameplay due to the 3D camera. The removal of turn-based movement in combat. For this alone, Nival should shave their heads and go to a monastery! They are introducing real-time in a turn-based game! And you call this Heroes? Next, trails! The most useless innovation! Zero benefit - it only clutters up the map!
4. Unit upgrades. New World Computing officially recognized the upgrade system as meaningless. Because no one fights with simple gremlins; everyone upgrades them. The same applies to other units. This slows down the gameplay. Instead of 7 buildings, you have to build 14. If Nival had approached the task professionally, they would have seen this NWC press release.
5. Plot. Nonsense! Contradiction of itself in every paragraph. The description is completely illogical if you look at the structure of the castle units. And also, the change of the title race of the Inferno castle from Krigans to Demons.
6. Racial special abilities. This is generally an RPG. Nival simply doesn't know how to make strategy games, which they have once again demonstrated. In addition, these abilities cannot be balanced through units. Their balance is achieved only through mapmaking. This is in a strategy game!
7. Magic. Instead of evolution, as it was in the series, Nival has somehow gone down the path of degradation. For this, they deserve eternal shame!
Conclusion: Instead of a worthy continuation of the series, we are getting a typical Russian mass-produced product.
Speak up, fellow fans!

Have you tried just enjoying the game???

I'm not a conservative and I'm generally happy with Nival.

The fact that they added cutscenes is a good thing.

And the game itself, I think, is more for playing online than for completing the Campaigns. After all, people are still playing 3 and 4 (and I don't think they are completing the Campaigns).

By the way, why does our people love to criticize themselves so much? I personally am happy that our developers were able to handle such a project!!!

"We will build our own new world" (c) Nival
Your home is changing owners. And he tells you: We'll demolish it now and build a new one. You'll live there, but it won't really resemble the old one. Just live with it...

Have you tried just enjoying the game???

How can you enjoy this:eek: "Magnificent" interface? "Huge" battlefield? ATV?
They ruined everything.
I'll buy it in the store today and then I'll give a more specific answer.

My thoughts on playing on heroesportal:

17.05.06
...Having finished his work, the dragon returned to his workplace to catch his breath, when he was called out: "VDV Heroes 5 is out,
full version". How could he not be surprised, the old dragon who couldn't believe it??? "Yes, pirates are everywhere" he thought, both with joy and with sorrow on the other hand. "Couldn't they just get the Russian version", he finally said, believing in his good fortune. "There's a Russian version coming soon too", his colleagues reassured him...
Quickly deleting the demo version, the dragon installed HEROES V...
Brilliant beauty, landscapes and an amazing world were revealed to him once again in all its splendor. Having tasted all the perks and flaws of the game, the dragon involuntarily took a dip into the past...
1995, Heroes II was the best game in the world, everyone said so and they were undoubtedly right, and then came the long-awaited year when they appeared, Heroes III! The dragon couldn't get used to the things he initially disliked for a long time, couldn't force himself to switch entirely to the third part for a long while. And yet, after some time he switched to Heroes III and for him this game became the gold standard of Heroes, and even the fourth part released later couldn't change his mind about that. Many friends he played Heroes II with never agreed with his thoughts, continuing to play only Heroes II to this day!...
...He shook his head and suddenly found himself back in the present, in the real world.
First impressions didn't blow his mind, which was to be expected, actually. But after 2 hours he started to change his viewpoint around! Of course, the world of Demeurgs slightly copied the Heroes world, but maybe that's for the better. Not diving too deep into secondary skills (everything seems clear there), he started studying the buildings, unit stats and combat tactics in the game.
Morale might cause a negative feeling in most players at first, but that's initially, since after leveling his starting hero up to level 17 and improving Morale by 3 points he realized what Morale actually is in Heroes V. The opponent simply didn't get enough turns! Since monsters moving on the bottom bar of the screen always moved to the left, successfully outrunning the opponent in turns. And with maxed out Luck the game just took off, Luck in Heroes V remained unchanged in quality! Learning Diplomacy, the dragon cleared 3 campaign maps with practically no losses. Well, he didn't think it would be this easy (though, his wife will be impressed).
The UNIT IMBALANCE between different castles is not very clear, since obviously the forces aren't equal.
Take for example the fact that in the Inferno castle almost all monsters have so-called cloning (25%), and winged Gargoyles have it too, which is basically a fairy tale with 50% chance of Gargoyles, which is death to everything around, involuntarily reminding you of Chain Lightning (main attack, +3 additional for an enemy standing nearby), and what's more, Gargoyles in addition to everything RESPOND to the ranged opponent. Pit Lords of Inferno at 9 cells range, or Fireball, Fiends have the ability to drain mana, I won't even mention Dragons.
In short, at first glance, neither a Griffon army nor super-powerful Palladins can compare to the terrifying army of INFERNO!
Beautiful special effects at first, but soon start to get on your nerves, unfortunately there was no time to find an option to disable them. Fewer artifact slots is also not pleasing, same with building placement in the castle. But this is more like nitpicking, soon I think everything will start to like so much you'll need to drag him away by the ears.
P.S. Tomorrow I'll be figuring out the magic, for now it hasn't thrilled me much either...
P.S. Overall Heroes V is just a SUPER GAME and I'm glad it was invented right in our lifetime!
P.S.S Soon the map makers will give Nival such a run for their money that it will start to amaze itself!

Unfortunately I couldn't "test drive" the magic, but instead...
...I understand everything, of course, but tanks, dear friends, tanks, came along with Heroes V.
Apparently someone among the developers mixed up Heroes with a war game, pay attention to the 4th campaign map for Humans (Haven).
He's located in the bottom left corner.
Or is it a joke, or trolling the fans.

Sincerely, VDV forever

To be honest, there are quite a few drawbacks in Heroes of Might and Magic V, perhaps even more than advantages. To Katrine, there are no guests from the future here; people are simply playing the pirated version of Heroes V!

In my opinion, this is the best game in the entire series.

Exactly, a revolution has happened! :)

PS So, Magnus, will you admit that we were right about the failure?

Yes, indeed, you were the one who tormented the heroes the most, especially those from the fifth game!

Completed the first mission. It's a shame that the "groom" has to die! Or is it possible to save him?:confused:
Actually, I expected much more. The graphics are so-so, considering the system requirements, it's barely a 3. There are only two amusing things - a red devil that dances before the battle and sticks its tongue out, and Isabel, who looks a lot like Nicole Kidman. The rest - AI, magic, artifacts - are only half a step ahead of Heroes 3, and it's not even clear in which direction. That's it.:rolleyes:

Never in my life:mad::) :mad: :) :) :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
By the way, I haven't been on the forum for 2 days, and new images of creatures from Heroes 5 have already appeared somewhere:mad: It's a nightmare, and the new message counter has become 175:eek: The nightmare is that the topics have become unreadable:eek:

Magnus, who is never satisfied with anything... :-)
The game is awesome!

Magnus, surrender! Even the Empress approved of the Fifth!:)
Yeah! You won't convince anyone with your senile grumbling:)!
HEROES V FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Magnus, surrender! Even the Empress approved of the Fifths!:)
Hmph! You won't convince anyone with your elderly grumbling:)!
HEROES V FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the Empress approved anyway, since there is a race with a matriarchy there, so that could be expected from the Empress;)
And it's useless to try and convince anyone now;) , only later when everyone has had their fill of Heroes 5, Nival will get money for such (I'll refrain) work:mad:
And then the eclipse of reason regarding Heroes 5 will lift from many (p.s First I also thought it was a wonderful game, but then came the disappointment.):D . And they will understand everything
And Magnus never surrenders;)
