The Heroes Round Table

[ Having to restrict yourself due to no physical space is at least a bit more "realistic". The problem is of course that this one of the more abstract parts of the game, so any limit can be seen as illogical if one wishes. I would agree with that if the limit was the terrain of the battle...

Okay, by being brief I implied that low level units should be impotent and near worthless, and nothing could be farther from the truth. Many games give special abilities to the weaker unit, even in the board game Stratego the most powerful unit (the Marshall) could be taken only by the weakest (the ...

I challenge the first point. The fact that you can't bring 7 2x2 units means that you have to bring smaller ones. Smaller ones are lowlevel. The change means that lowlevel units get a very profound advantage. As for the Manes: check here Okay, making lowlevel units more powerful is a good idea why?...

I as I said a hotly debated issue, and many did like the heroes there, it was unfortunate that 3DO rushed H-IV out before the play balancing was improved. Alas the issue is settled for now, and I for one like take it either way.

Map Editor included it is, RMG may also be included but Campaign Editors future hard to see it is ;| I am afraid you may be right, unfortunately that is probably a buy / no buy issue for me at least until a fan makes one which is a possibility. It certainly can not be as tough as some of the mods t...

Actually heroes appearing on battlefield as normal units was one of the most hated feauters in HoMMIV By some perhaps but there were as many who were just as empathetic about leaving them on the battlefield. It certainly was one of the most debated features with both side represented by very passio...

Wimfrits would certainly be a better choice than I, however now that Dragon's Fate is almost complete (by the end of the month, please, please, please), if I can help let me know.

Does anyone actually use the random map generator? I have used the Heroes IV RMG as a start for maps in my campaign. While they need a lot of editing and changing, they have saved me some time in some of the minor terrain details. It has also allowed me to picturize some of the maps, but other than...

Angelspit I echo your concerns and wishes, I tested his map ‘The City’ over two years ago and even in that stage of development it was destined to be a great map. It was certainly one of the best if not the best map I had played (and I normally do not play single map games), I hope his health improv...

Has anyone heard anything about a map editor? There is another thread on this topic farther down, it appears that a map editor will be included with the game, but my concern is there may be no campaign editor included. Hopefully they will realize that additional capability is not difficult and it w...

Also I have heard so many times that people say blah blah so I won't buy this game. First most (but not all) of those issues have been about features that were implied as being part of the game and now UBI has backpedaled. As far as for suggesting mods, we need to see what really ships with the gam...

@Echo "Because it'll KILL the series. There's simply no doubt on that point." This series will never be killed could you explain how you think it will be. Come on, it’s not too hard to imagine, I stated earlier whether you liked Heroes IV or not, it and its expansions were a marketing disa...

I enjoyed Heroes IV, but by most standards it was a disappointment and along with the failure of M&M 9, this franchise's future may well depend on a good showing by Heroes V. I do not believe either UBI's or our interests will be served by a rushed release, and sorry any publicity is not good pu...

Me too! :-D Especially the last episodes of WIII Campaign against Lord Bane was uber-thrilling. B-) And making own units in WII, that was something special (and not likely to come back in times of 3D). I liked WIV also, what a selection of races and units! But you are right, the campaign crashed qu...

This move of course is a two edged sword. I agree completely with the motives behind it. UBI has already backtracked on features thought to have been promised by saying we never confirmed that in an official announcement, while at the same time not denying either. At some point these types of wishy ...

Thanks a55a55in, too bad I was hoping UBI had woke up and realized eliminating all of the previous heroes was ridiculous. I guess stupidity still reins supreme.

You said some favorites returned, were they heroes or skills. I looked and did not see any hero list.

I guess, with each addon, they intend to provide a full set of campaigns. Allowing us to make our own would probably lower the profit they could expect from it. It takes some time to make a good campaign, and the devs in Nival are paid to do it, so it's a financial issue they have to think about ca...

I loved Warlord I - III, let's hope he does a better job on V than was done on Warlords IV. UBI association with that poor product was what concerned me most about UBI owning the M&M franchise.

I did and it does, so if we can stir enough interest, we might be able to get them to release a campaign editor with it.
