Four Stars and a Half for King´s Bounty

And thus Zamolxis throws up the Banner of Righteousness and celebrates the Spirit of HoMM while shamelessly bashing HoMM 5. Incredible. The urge to bash Nival and/or Ubisoft must be too strong to resist. Even though they have produced a game that plenty of hard-core HoMM fans are finding to be an en...

Four Stars and a Half for King´s Bounty

Incredible, a HoMM5 bashing moment by the first comment. Must be a new record.

Well, logistics (the concept) are pretty much 99% of the time one of the most important aspects of fighting a war. When you get a spell that allows you to essentially skip up to a week (if not more) of traveling, it's bound to be overpowered unless something exists to counter it. IMO, for HoMM6, the...

What is it with people and giant Praying Mantises? Every other time I see a suggestion for a new faction, it has one of these.

If we are buffing First Aid Tent, you need to make it in a way that makes it impossible to get Triple Ballista with the First Aid.

Seriously, War Machines already has Ballista/Triple Ballista as one of the best skill choices in the game. Does it really need something on top of that?

That bonus does seem a tad unspectacular. Than again, the hero specific boosts seem to vary greatly in awesomeness. I mean, let's see... Rangers get a full leveled sorcery equivalent for their shooting abilities; -30% ATB loss when shooting. That's in addition to the very awesome boosts granted by t...

Well, if you get good skill choices, War Machines are essentially Destructive Magic that doesn't cost mana. That's fairly big in early clearing.

The game has as much common with Japanese RPG's as it does with the TBS genre. When the game comes out in the West, you will see what I mean. The main thing that connects it with the Heroes series is the progenitor. Heroes series is an off-shoot from the original King's Bounty; this new King's Bount...

Asheera. You don't understand how different the games are. The only thing that ties them together is the title of RPG/TBS.

King's Bounty is about as similar to Heroes 2-5 as those games are to the Disciples series.

King's Bounty has nothing to do with this discussion. They are already redesigning the core mechanics to be different from what the heroes series had for the last 4-5 iterations.

The point is, I don't think the developers thought about stacks of 1 peasant when they made the game. I don't think it was intended, just that they didn't find any way to "fix" it, so it is NOT a Heroes 5 Tactic. Point is, yes, in all probability, they did. Nival is filled with Heroes fan...

just don't see how you can not pick vampires...
While they are awesome, they are a critical mass unit. Which means very large maps and long games, which many people don't play.

Well, Vampires are oriented for killing neutrals and massive battles. A large vampire stack with Vampirism cast on it literally needs to be taken out between it's turns. I find them to be the core of my late game necro force - my victory hinges on Necromancer's magic and their ability to last foreve...

I meant Riders as a whole. They are nice, assuming you don't lose many of them during killing neutrals, but other tier 4 units (with exception of berzerkers) are much nicer. Imperial Griffins are pure, unadulterated ownage. If they trigger morale during the dive (common occurrence with that faction)...

True... I think it's easier for me to choose the suckiest ones.

Berserker and Grim Riders would be those. Everyone else on this list is actually pretty awesome - I love using all of them.

Coulda just skipped to level 4. Arcane Archers, followed by Firehounds (god, both these mothers hurt far too much for their level). Bear Riders and Golems compete for the third slot, IMO. On one hand, bear riders rule with great specials. On the other hand, Magnetic Golems have a very useful special...
