"This is a different game - I'm sure it will work differently. "

Regardless, this whole 'thin end of the wedge' thing is total paranoid anti-progress nonsense. It basically boils down to 'change is scary.'

Why are you supposed to give us the answers instead of Ubisoft again ? Seriously, this is getting way too unprofessional, isn't there anyone who can tell them these things? I'd say it's pretty much the definition of professional - it's not the dev's jobs to tell people every single step of their pr...

Then your Celestial is too small... Feel free to make your own interpretation! Assuming the Celestial's figure is human-sized, I left it as that. I don't have any reason to assume the Lamasu is going to have a human-sized skull - it seems pretty Sphinx-y and has huge feet. And they said chivalry is...

there's no way to make splitting up your army be better then having it all in one place. Well, that's not much of a strategy game, now is it? Based on the info we have... they should release more info... if they don't supply it to us it's their own fault that we make decisions based on the one we d...

Yes, the only time you should complain is when it's already too late for anything to change and you have already given them your money... It's like when someone is trying to put ketchup on your sandwich, when you hate ketchup... you shouldn't say anything until you eat the sandwich and then complai...

Then why does the Lamasu's head look like it's the same size of the other's torso?! I am assuming it's a 4-tile unit, so made it's footprint about the size of the other 4-tile units. Like I said, it's just a guess. Also, I see that you missed this: Dude, instead of [img] use [img]... really helps w...

The blandness/sameness of the Inferno still drives me up the friggin wall, though!


They are very samey, but I think it lends them a huge-mass-of-homogeneous-evil-spilling-out-of-the-Netherworld vibe.

It's funny; after 6 years, Disciples 3 came out and I can not find it anywhere. 8| There's a prime example of a game revealing tons of assets and development for years that ultimately had to cannibalize itself to actually get released at all - years late and missing half it's features and with more...

You really must have trouble keeping your money if the only way to asses a product is by buying it. An informed guess from an experienced gamer should be pretty close to the real thing. Mercifully, I can also choose to wait for reviews and comments from people that aren't based in speculation but b...

But guess what? They are charging us exactly as much as Blizzard will for their Diablo 3. Then here's an easy solution: if you don't think it's worth the amount being charged, simply don't buy it. Problem solved! A) A product is sold by advertising its strong points. They haven't been able to do it...

And if you actually read carefully (or at all) you'd have noted I said ...either a RTS game or a RP game... Which is why I addressed both assertions earlier. I keep forgetting that the tree with the water around it is meant to be a city and not just a rich man's garden-feature. Would you rather a t...

It's pure paranoia to assume this series is being transitioned to an RTS - it's nonsense for a variety of reasons I'm sure you can figure out. What is an adventure map supposed to look like? Is there only one acceptable scale of level of abstraction? Without playing the game, there's no way to gauge...

The mechanics of H6 are being changed, as far as I can see, to make it into either a RTS game or a RP game, and since I like to play TBS games I'm not in favour of those changes. Don't be ridiculous - The RPG elements are going to be about as deep as adding a bit more customization of the Hero's sk...

They have, however dumped several long-standing elements in favour of some new RP elements (cutting 3 rare resources, only 4 speciality buildings per faction, and only two per town, creatures no longer affect movements speed at all, etc.) But did they do it to make the game worse, or because a grou...

All the same units as H5?
Yeah = 5/7 for Haven are the same-ish. Admittedly, it's the least fluctuating faction in the Heroes series. 4/7-ish for Inferno.
