@crislevin

I agree with pretty much everything you said; I don't see why they at least didn't use a hexagonal tile system, that would at least allowed for diagonal movement.

So, I can confirm that boxed version won't be available for Croatia, and judging by one tweet from ubi support earlier it seems to be the case for some other countries as well"Ubisoft Support ‏@UbisoftSupport 5h

@JaromirSebela Unfortunately we're unable to ship items to the Czech Republic and as such the physical copy will not appear on the website.."



In the end I believe the game box is only available in as few countries as boxed edition of H6 was.



Sad about this but i will pass on the game as i cannot support this.

I understand and sympathize with your position. I truly believe it is time that Ubisoft comes clean and state exactly why these things are restricted. They bought the rights in a bankruptcy court here in the US and I don't recall any restrictions placed on them when they bought it. ;|

I cannot support it either; as the manager of an M&M fansite whose majority of members are from North America, it's completely unacceptable to me.

The reason I'm guessing has something to do with this not being a AAA game and Ubisoft not wanting the increased distribution costs.

It is mystifying as I went ahead and bought the game and paid for a disc back up, which they are shipping to me. So what is the problem with the other materials. ;|

As mentioned it is a shared inventory, like potions automatically stacked, and so only take up 1 slot, but weapons and such did not stack . Whether 50 different items will be limiting or not I can't say.

I find that a bad thing, almost as bad as auto levelup.

Day/night cycle is ridiculously quick.
The game forces you too rest too often. Give me atleast 18 hours of up time before been forced to nap.
Weapons break way too easily.
Waiting for enemies to move when red light is on is painfully slow.
The automap from MM2 is better than what's been delivered here.

I could go on forever.

To me, it's a Might and Magic game in name only.

I agree with many of your points, but I disagree here. It has all of the feel of a Might and Magic game. Remember this version is not much more than an alpha and many items will/should be adjusted; such as the rest cycle, weapons breaking and the long wait for the AI to finish its move. Others need to be improved such as the minimap, the attacking of opponents and though a long shot improvement in the movement system.

@StoneCold
There are barrels but most hold items and are not the colored barrels of the past. :(

The barrels containing colored, stat-increasing liquids will definitely be in the final game though :)
