The Heroes Round Table

I've heard the final game has many system problems and bugs and it's all in all not a very satisfying game, thus it's reviews (marks) are not very impresive, like 6.5/10 (Gamespot) or 7/10 (IGN) for instance...



I'll pass on this one...

Well empty floatsam does not meen it has nothing. It meens there's nothing of use for the hero in it...

My, my what an interesting disussion grew from my simple bug suspicion :D:D:D Voted 21-30%. Heroes III style, empty floatsams seen rarely that is... Floatsams are an important strategic resource source (damn, I love this phrase), especially on sea maps (which are rather uncommon in Heroes V, but map...

I've acomplished the campaigns a couple of days ago... And I must say finishing them left no emotions in me :/ One of the most boring game campaign stories I have ever seen. Sure there were some interesting maps and ideas, but all-in-all the campaign was full of crap a nd loose ends that were left w...

Too bad it's gone. It was a nice feature in Heroes III...

Kinda reminds me of LotR BfM:)

Yesterday, I was trying to catch up with Pixie's Wasp Swarm spell damage. Those things cast a 20-damage spell when gathered in 10. When I had 20 of them, the damage was 28. :| Decreases a lot. And when there are 100 of them they do 42 damage:P I think there should be an initiative reduction effect ...

Yeah, it's a waste. Especially with those fast dying Genies...

Yeah, same as Gaidal Cain

It was my rule dating back from when I started to play HIII to this day forward...

@Naskoni A lot blablabla. How very nice of you, Naskoni spent a lot of time for trying to explain to you what is wrong with the game, and espcially about the support or rather no-support from Nival, writing a very interesting and smart post, but it seems you are too arrogant to understand that...he...

Well, I've finished the campaign a couple of days ago. I had some luck because Nicolai had a weak army because he gave everything to Vladmir which had about 6k skeletons 80 Wrights etc... and Nicolai was left alone with, a weak force. But it wasn't easy to get there, I faced Nicolai before and he ha...

You say that players should change those features themselves if they want them the way the want :D Hey, why asking Nival, let's make another Heroes game ourselves! No, for me playing a game is not messing with a great number of it's mechanics. It's the producers job. If someone likes to mod that's h...

Take HIII for example:Most people say conflux is insane.I say,however,that its just a bit more stronger,and as long as hero isnt an expert for conflux,it wont matter.But that doesnt mean that conflux is not overpowered,just that its not as insane as everyone is saying.It wont mean that if you take ...

If the game isnt finished,why is it being sold as a finished product then? And not just that...Now after the game was released Nival has no pressure on them, so they can work on patches. But they don't. As I said somewhere before those fixes wouldn't take too long. Oh wait, they're working on Hamme...

the game actually runs smoother in 1.3 for me too... but the issue here was the balancing not the graphics... I think we all agree that the graphics are great. I dont.Seen better earlier,and with less demanding engine. Yeah, even Nivals earlier game Etherlords looks very similiar to HV in my opinio...

The older games of the serie had horrible graphics and ugly looking creatures. Heroes of Might and Magic 5 has fresh and beautiful 3D graphics. It is even better than Warcraft 3. HA! You are saying that HV is better then two of the greatest games in history of gaming? Ask other players what they mi...

Well I think that Sylvan is a good faction for fighting Undead, especially with Imbue Arrow ability and Triple Balistae shot. The key is to smash Skeleton Archers as fast as you can, so even Raise Dead will not help them maintain their numbers. You have a lot of Archers at your disposal so you will ...

Actually, the game runs smoother under patch 1.3... Excuse me? I didn't notice any changes, but maybe it's because of my low-end comp. Altough the bug that made my game crash (well actually freeze, after restarting the game it sometimes happend when loading a map)seems to, bo no more... But it stil...

I mean, come, on do you want to go through a game like this completely unscarred? Never a single loss? Won't work and is boring. When I played HIII or HIV my priority was to save as many units. It was my way of playing, sometimes I even repeated some battles to try a diffrent startegy and save as m...

Yeah the units spell system is the most stupidiest yet... It makes me laugh when 20 Mages do almost us much damage as 50. The most anoying situation occurs when about 10 Mages/Druids are left from an arrow barrage (for instance) that killed about 100 of them. So what, they will do enough damage afte...
