Cette DEMO fonctionne à merveille! Tout à fond mais quelque lag quand même. AMD X2/4200 - 1Go DDR - 7900GT. En tout cas je suis conquis par ce nouvel opus. Donc Ubisoft peut compter sur moi pour leur prendre la version collector!

@Dark Raider



I experienced the same thing recently. I was discouraged to see my Archdevils cut down so qucikly. Didn't help the computer always seemed to roll maximum luck on every angel attack. >.
And the chickens. Those damn chickens.

Having played the complete Heroes Series from HOMMI-HOMMIV, We have throughly enjoyed the Demo. I can see alot of HOMMIII here but as Jolly Joker says it does play as its own. Still has some bugs, not able to clickon a heroe to see what she /he is carrying or able to see some camera angles but all in all its is going to be a fun game!

Also the spectral dragons.... I think I read somewhere that most melee attacks on this dragon was most likly to miss...I thought that would be cool if it was like that ( it is a ghost after all) but all my attacks on the dragon went in....hmmm I think the spectral dragon has become very weak in this game....It got a very cool look though.

@ thunderTitan - it is tru what you are saying... I too think it is cool thaht they have gone back to the original with the one heroe per army.. and thaht you cannot take your army out of the castle.... but I still would wish that they would make a caravan for the many dwellings that are around the map...because you don't have time to run around those dwellings all the time and they are not upgraded so you can't use the dwellings anymore if you have upgraded the creatures in your army... unless you get a caravan to get them home to your castle..

Cool? No. Freaking frustrating is more like it. Imagine fighting a big stacks and loosing because your first three or four attacks failed to to a 50% chance...

For me the game runs smooth even with AA and AF on 2x. It lags only abit when I rotate the camera almost off the map.

The camera rotations is great both on the A map and in the town screen. But in battle you shopuld be able to rotate all around the field.

There some creature icons that arent fully corrected in the demo. Some serious color changes have been made for necro, now they are mostly greenish in eye and outfit color, the spectres are now trasnsparent white instead of oozing green =D

Its a great game for sure, looking forward to play it in its fullest glory!!

The game is... It's GREAT! I really like it. Though in human campraign I conquered Demon town and after one week it said to me You Lost, and the goal is to capture any 1 town within a week!? But the game is great. I love it.

You also have to free Isabel from the prison behind the Pit Fiends on the right of the town.

Gotta be something with your computer, I can save just fine.
Try to tune down your graphic settings maybe that helps or fixes some weird unknown causes to this anti save error.

I'm not sure if this has already been stated but I just played the demo and my knight hero was still able to do his Charge attack on creatures behind the city walls. This is very unrealisitic. I can see my griffons flying over the wall and attacking but my horse bound hero should remain tied to the same rules my other "ground" troops are held to when fighting for a city.

@Falsted: ...or have you tried quick save `F6`? Or switching autosave on from the options-menu? :/
