The Heroes Round Table

"I don't know what UbiSoft/Nival was trying to prove with this piece of garbage" Well said, I agree. "I say if Heroes 6 is on the horizon, let some other company develop it instead of Nival!" I guess it's too late for that. There are so many evidences that Nival's leading the pro...

@Kalah "fans are also reasonably happy" Are you sure? Please, don't make me laugh. The Map Editor isn't complete and the Multiplayer experience is awful due to some lack of balance and a turtle gamespeed, among other things. And both of these last features are key for the game's longevity,...

On Fabrice words on his last interview: "Patching phase will go beyond 2008 if necessary" We're almost on the half of 2008 and it seems we won't get new Heroes V stuff until Heroes Kingdoms is released, so the most probable thing it's they won't announce the new Heroes VI until 2009, and s...

Yeah, but one Counterspell at the beggining, plus tactics and maybe Aura of Swiftness could be enough to rush the cheaters (yes, I consider this behaviour of taking advantage of game's flaws like cheating).

There's another option which allows you to load it as a normal map, and so to change the dif. level.

The Dark Messiah Map was originally in the Complete Edition but now you can play it through an external installer created by Sfidanza and hosted on heroes-fr.com and Torre de Marfil (Ivory Tower) . Since the external installer provides an updated version of the map which fixes some bugs, I recommend...

Or better, UBI go and hire a proper game producer for Heroes VI.

I guess it's too late for that.

Oh, I guess this have nothing to do with TBS, shooters and other stories. HoMM is, and always have been, divided on two main streams: 1 - Single player 2 - Multiplayer For number 1, we have an uneasy map editor and a poor IA, so there is a lack of maps and campaigns made by fans. And the few ones we...

Eyescandies were off, so it's confirmed (when a whole model is an eyecandy since, Nival? I can understand somethings like smoke and such effects could be so, but this...). Thanks for your time and effort Vlaad, after all you have something new to include on the readme file :-D I'll do so for the spa...

Congratulations for such effort! Keep up that way, Christian!

So, they aren't showed up in game on your computers too, right?

Divine Vengeance is just a overpowered spell. I view it like a "campaign" spell, nothing more. I usually disable it on the multiplayer maps.

A new faction is for sure, so there's no point on asking for it. I'd better ask for a better balance. I don't mean the current is completely unbalanced (although some points are clearly so), I mean I'd rather a game which didn't finish on a single combat blow, but a game whose key remained (as on th...

It's clear it's time to take a look about balance, of course.

As I replied to you on the spanish forums, the manual doesn't say anything about a weekly growth of creatures for the hero. That perks gives an amount of troops when you pick it and that amount depends on the advanced state of the game, nothing more.

Here it is

does that mod works on all languages?

Patch 1.5 (which was released after 2.1), indeed changed the DE parameters. However, ToE used the 2.1 older values. It might not have been intended of course, and maybe patch 3.1 will update it, in particular doubling the hero bonus. On the other hand, it makes Mentoring (Enlightenment) all the mor...

If you make some numbers using the table from the 1.5 manual, you'll see its formula it's a little better than the 2.1 and 3.0's one. Over +50 DE for a level 20, without counting the helper or carryover heroes. Another pro is that a group of Necromancers of low levels can reach serious figures of DE...

I've been reviewing Age of Heroes section about Dark Enegy and I've found this: IMPORTANT 1.5 Note: The Dark Energy Pool formula has been amended to 250 + Hero_Bonus + Building_Bonus. Where the Hero Bonus is doubled , and the Pillar of Bones bonus is reduced from 150 to 20 DE points. In Tribes of th...
