The Heroes Round Table

Perhaps we'll see the Sylvans return in an expansion pack.

What an odd sword hybrid... still, Ubi has some terrific artists working on H6!

I agree... all the underground screens are spectacular!



... but then again, so are the overground screens.

"having two burning branches on your back is pretty dangerous, and from what I can see, pointless."



- Could be, but samurai wore such banners nonetheless... not burning, of course (as far as I know.).

Anyone have a clue when the H6 beta will launch?

Kind of looks like they started with a map of Europe, then severely distorted all of the most prominent features.

I'm going to spend half my time skirting the edges to clear the Fog of War, just so I can see all the beautiful scenery.

Wow. One thing is obvious: HOMM Fan mapmakers are going to have a field day with H6! The options are obviously exceptional, multitudinous, and extremely well rendered. The Ubi mapmakers have been making fairly "bare-bones" maps, if the screenshots are any indication, but truly creative map...

Pretty slick!



Wasn't this game originally slated for release in March?



Any idea when the new release date is scheduled?

Ahhh... I see it now. Thanks.

I really like the way forts control their surroundings! Very cool, especially if forts have certain defensive advantages, like arrow towers, tough walls, and damage traps. This is only fair, as the initial conquering army probably suffers losses to win the fort in the first place. I always made neut...

Am I missing something?



Where are the "rocks floating in mid-air" observatories?



I see a cool looking rock outcropping in the water, splitting a waterfall... nothing in "mid-air" though.



Does anyone else see the observatory mentioned?

Original King's bounty?



I would argue it's related... it has even been packaged with other Heroes releases.

You're right!

I see Disco Stu's sunglasses on the face above the main entrance to the pyramid!

Judging by the size of special map feaures showcased in your series of screenshots, map size must be considerably larger than anything ever before developed in the HOMM franchise. If not, actual play area is going to be highly inadequate. I'm guessing map area for HOMM 6 is going to be massive, espe...

Ouch! Hard to swing your legs up onto that saddle!



Oh, but of course, demons are there to suffer the torments of Hell.

How does he get into that girdle/belt? Divine intervention, perhaps?

Looks great! Can't wait!

H6 has a truly spectacular look... I sure hope the AI is a little faster than that of H5.



I also hope the developers have juiced up the battlefield a little, with terrain modifers, lots of creature special bonuses, and perhaps a few special squares of interest like those in KB.

Wow! That really looks spectacular! I can't wait to get immersed in this new world.
