| No, i don't know, but Hommkingdoms aren't released yet. Not even the beta. the beta is soon(i hope) so you will only have access to it with Homm complete or ubi may choose you |

| Hi, I want to play hommkingdoms. So I went to the site to log in, but you have to make a ubisoft acount first. I tried to do this, but he keeps telling me 'you have entered invalid information' everytime I press submit for the password I want to use. I've tried several, but everytime he says, 'you've entered invalid information'. Anyone who knows what I'm doing wrong? |

I really, really want to play this game. Where can I get Complete in the U.S.? I'll buy it for the key alone. Any idea when the beta starts?
Hmm hmm... It's really hard to get HoMM Complete in the States. Someone also wanted to get, and somebody even gave him some advice, but I can't remember in which thread it was. Search the threads.
Good luck for it, and HoMM Complete. (You'll need it) |

I'm betting that this is a micro-transaction game in the vein of Travian or Oil Empires...and those games are fantastic fun. Based on this assumption: The 'catch' is that if you pay a donation, you get access to elite units or higher production. For example, you will only be able to access lv 1-6 units without a donation, and with you get level 7 units. You can certainly play and compete without paying, but you have to be good. And believe me, there is plenty of strategy...just different than what you're used to. (again, all speculation)

| I can understand you. But HeroesV is much better, than no more Heroes at all. I'm looking forward for the sixth episode. Until that, I'll have enough time to finish ToE.:) |

"At least 3DO didn't go so far. "
Really? They bought the cheapest FPS engine, and made a sh*t M&M9, and a terrible CS-clone called Legends of M&M. They didn't go so far? I don't think so.
UbiSoft did it too, but at least Dark MEssiah wasn't sooo bad. Neither Hereos5, but it's a different game now.
Ubi did the same with the Warlords title. Tetris of M&M? Well, after Puzzle Quest, it's possible.:) |

those f*cking greedy Ubi son-of-a-b*tches. They take a good title, break it up and make whole lot of crap out of it. First a half-done H5, then selling the rights for a silly MMOG, and now a stupid browser game. Next they'll be making a Heroes Tetris.
Instead of taking one title and polishing it to perfect (like the real pros do - Blizzard, Firaxis, etc.) they want to grab what they can leaving only sh*t behind.
3DO did similar crap, Ubi doesn't fall behind. At least 3DO didn't go so far.
I already see the whole HOMM universe falling apart :@. |

Me - I'll take a wait and see approach. Not too excited so far, but there might be more to this. More heroes is always better.
Still, I knew what the tone of most of the comments would be before I read them. Optimism would find no home here. |

Guys, guys, that's a TEASER site! What kind of an in-game trailer do you expect from a browser game anyway? More screenshots, clicks and loading screens?
The real site probably will open soon with a lot more info to follow. You're too harsh about a game you even have no slightest idea how good or bad it will be. Give them time. |

Tutorial isn't for showing pictures, but there ARE pictures too.
Of course the tutorial won't say too much about the game mechanics. Yes, UbiSoft IS crazy...:) |

Especially because it doesn't shows any picture from the game itself. But there are a few shots in the tutorial section.

Excuse me but "nice"?! It was like... a 12 seconds clip from the game, and I don't think that's from the Kingdom MMO, I would guess it's from the online game they released in China, and if you look, that little video was added to youtube 11 (eleven) months ago.
Sorry to come down so hard on you but... you fail =/
Darn, ravenheart beat me to it :) |

Ehm, you're wrong. This is HoMM Online. The chinese MMO. From the pictures i saw, it seems that HoMM Kingdoms' battles will look out like the quick battles from HeroesV - possibly with more options.
Sorry to disappoint you... |

I'm not much of an MP'er either; but if it's really free of charge instead of just another 'bait & switch' scam, then maybe I'll take a look at the game when it's released. My guess is that Nival has something devious up their sleeve so I'm not gonna hold my breath. ;| |

Why should they make ner art? Obviously it is a continuation of H5 "spirit".
I'm confused. For those that already have HOMM5 and it's expansions, why would they even want to play this watered down, cheap looking version?
Because you can play at your job? |

Wow.. as a big Utopia fan this is great news. Some of those screens had a bit of a Master of Magic feel to them too. Very promising.
It’s likely the game with be like Utopia in that it uses advertising to pay for its fees. Ubisoft will likely use it as a platform to advertise all their other games in popup windows or bars etc. I for one have no problem with this as I have no interest in paying fees. Although I can already see the future where the more 'spoilt' fans in this place will whinge endlessly about the adds due to no understanding of the costs involved.

To play against other people, many more and in a more persistant way than you can in a round of MP on a single map. |

Mmmm.. no it doesn't. Looks more like a teaser for a board game than a MMORPG. If they're gonna release it early 2008, why not show us an in-game video instead. Also, I think the "tutorial" sucks, that's not a tutorial, that's just pictures . Sorry, I have a cold. |

| Let's not forget this is not a charity and someone will have to refund the committed finances in this project - most probably there will be a symbolic fee (per month, per year?) so that part of the players can access some unique features and possibly gain advantage over others, similarly like in Travian. Still, I think, to attract masses of players the game mostly will be free. |

| HoMM Kingdoms most probably will be a huge hit - this is basically a new, unexplored field and the game looks really impressive. For example, Travian has more than 1 million players, HoMM Kingdoms most probably will have even more, mostly because of the HoMM brand. This is an exciting time! :) |
