How about resurrection? Is the cyclops too dumb to realize it's back alive at that point?

^ Ha-ha-ha, good point!
About those complaining that "it's too slow" - remember that this is A SHOWDOWN, so it have to be like that. I am pretty sure there will be a bar for the different speeds in the options (as usual). The thing that bugs me is the units "joy" after hit - it's already annoying to me; hope there will be a button that will "cut off" and this little... jewel (not a big problem, though, but still annoying).
And STOP complaining about the girl's (or Marzhin's, for that matter) pronouncement - it is actually pretty good and understandable. Only thing I could not understand (because of the battle sounds) was the Naga "Challenge" action move - is it only inflicts double damage or while challenging one enemy creature the others will not/can not attack the Naga?

I found Irina's pronunciation, especially of the word "wound," to be charming.

While I find the increased tactical dimension of creature abilities and effects quite interesting, I'm very concerned about the slow speed of combat. All the animations, graphical details, and perspective changes seem to take a lot of time. This is one of the flaws of Heroes V, and they seem to repeat (or even aggravate) it in Heroes VI. The speed issue was one of the main problems of Heroes V multiplayer games, too.

Ubisoft/Black Hole are still using the original H5 gaming engine to make H6. There was a rumor that they were going to improve over the H5 engine. We will see if that is true. Yes, it is sluggish - that could be in the game settings....

The last time I looked, the designer said they were still using the H5 engine and planned to improve upon it. So present the evidence that the engine is new for Heroes 6. Heroes 6 still requires only DirectX9.0c. It is not even 64-bit.
We'll play the beta soon. Present a link that proves the engine is entirely new for Heroes 6.
I will know right away by the file system and the map editor (which will make or break the game).

[Erwan] They had two great fantasy strategy games at their credit: Armies of Exigo and Warhammer: Mark of Chaos. For the latter, they worked very closely with Games Workshop, so they knew what it meant to develop a game within a specific franchise. They also had a solid in-house engine, perfect for Heroes VI. Obviously, they impressed us as experienced, talented and passionate people during our first encounter. Something they more than confirmed during the game’s development! Last, but not least, they are huge fans of the Heroes series

"A solid, in-house engine." Not enough evidence. Wait until the 28th and we'll see. Thanks for trying.
Specifications about the engine would be nice - facts.

Well, you can insist we're trying to delude you all you like, but they're legally disallowed from using the Silent Storm engine even if they wanted to. So no, it's not being reused for H6, partially because it was shown to be so memory leak-ridden in H5 that nobody in their right mind would want to.

In-house could mean alot of things.
-They took the old H5 engine and upgraded it.
-They created a new engine, but it was similar to H5.
Out of a lot of speculation, many people would like to know if it is going to be another sluggish repeat (like H5). I am concerned since H3 and H4 were using the same engine. I think consumers deserve a "completely new engine for Heroes 6."
There is no evidence indicating that the in-house production was simply a nice tweak (from the old engine) or a completely new engine (versus the H5 engine). It is vague heresay.
But I would love to be wrong. This is why, we must ask (since alot of people pre-ordered from Ubi-Shop).

Then show me the file system from the beta (that some got early). Use print screen on the keyboard & copy and paste the pictures showing all the folders that make up the game directories (and all their files). If some folks have the beta, then it is their duty to show the file system that makes the game so the latter can understand how stable and fast this engine supposedly is.
Hey, we bought it and we want to know the specifications. Is it going to be another game, where we have to upgrade our systems just to play the game with the largest map size (like I had to do with H5)? Is multiplayer mode going to work really fast compared to H5 even on the largest maps?
Some people put much money into their systems just to make these games play like turning a page in a book. Heroes 5 is still slow even on the best Core i7 system processor due to that engine they used. Will Heroes 6 follow in a similar way on the largest maps with the most players in multiplayer mode?
This is testing the limits of the Heroes 6 engine, and some people are that extreme with their computer builds. Time will tell, and I hope this game is stable, fast, has a SUPERIOR AI, and the best map editor yet even in the most demanding conditions for this "new engine".

That is having a lot of time. Believe me, when NDA will be lifted, there will be images after which you so sought.
Right now, time is plenty. Nowhere to haste.

And we will not be discussing it here. Post removed.

It's a different developer, so an in-house engine will be different from H5's, which was Nival's engine.
I'm guessing they're using an upgraded/modified version of the engine they used for WH: Mark of Chaos... or made one from scratch (doubt it, too much effort).
Because then they'd not have a hot accent...Darkström wrote:>>Why can't they hire people who speak English properly for this? -.-<<

Been a fan for over a decade. Let us just go along with it. We can complain later. We are 3 days away from the beta. I am not eager to argue. I would love a game that struck me just as much as KB: Armored Princess.
By the looks of H6, I am satisfied. The gameplay is another subject.
I at least want to enjoy H6 for a year before alot of people start complaining.
Love always for the game, and it is not just a game.

Complaining once the deed is done is too late...
At this point all we can actually change is balance stuff and how fast bug fixes come...
