StormSaber6 Tajemniczy
No. I'd rather have a good game than some 3D town screens that don't add to anything.

totaly agree with you, the H5 Town Screens were the best. But i also have no problem with 2D Screens, if they are well designed and don't look like shit like in H6. (btw: you have to upvote that guy at least for calling the game by the right name. :D )
Just look at the H3 Townscreens, they were for most of the towns great... or back to Heroes 2!

Id rather have both StormSaber! & that shouldn't be too much to ask as a good looking town screen has been a fundamental part of Heroes since the first game. A town screen that matches the outside world looks great but the Limbic Heroes 6 replacement castle screens & this new Heroes 7 castle screen does not! It feels like you've tabbed into another game, or a friggin art website. They're creating some really cool stuff with the Unreal 3 engine in the outside map & battles so why not castles too?

No Heroes 3 townscreen in 2D was best. i dont need some 3D shit. Btw battle system in Heroes 5 was bullshit without turns in combat ;)
15Zangetas Szalony
I think 2D screns are better BUT that haven town screen looks really , really reealllyyy bad
more houses pls, not just some houses with a wall and they should have the same basic structure like in 6

I`m happy to see that the spell book is back and that magic is separated from skills. For me it was really boring in H6 as you always had the spell you wanted, you just had to wait to get enough skill points to get it. I think that in the previous heroes games the fun part was to actually look around in towns to get the spells you wanted. And I really like the new units they all look original and nice (especially the Arcane bird, great idea of adding it to Academy!).

THIS. Best part of all other Heroes games was spell-hunt, 6 destroy that.....
6FranekFranek
Imho, that's boring. Nothing new really, you should get inspired by your own card game and create diversified gameplay with plenty of options for creatures, more upgrades etc. etc. Now, it looks boring and nothing else, the one good thing you might be able to achieve is finally saying goodbye to hit-first-and-hard-to-win strategy. The fact that we have 6 factions sucks and nothing gonna make up for it. Imho 7-8 is minimum.
And 'HoMM 6 brought a lot of innovations' is a joke i guess :)
15Zangetas Szalony
It's just a remake of 6 so don't expect too much , only a patched 6 ^_^
19jshalky Potężny
HoMM 6 did bring lot of inovations. It is just that there were not good
14Arugaf Strażnik
FranekFranek, it looks like a Heroes and no more. 6 factions is enough in release. Heroes saga is not simulator of Ashan's faction, it's strategy game and 6 is optimal number.
Zangetas, very strange and illogical statement.
6FranekFranek
I'm just very sad on what has become of this amazing franchise once Ubisoft possessed it. I think they gonna screw things up like they did with homm 6 leave a distaste. Only graphics were good in that one. Qiute stylish and remarkable for every race.

The game looks awesome! My only complain in that regard is the 2d town screen: it really feels strange to change from 3d to 2d without something that makes both art-styles coexist. Its feels forced, specially when the 3d graphics of towns are so good to begin and could be reused to make a Heroes V town screen. If you are still going for a 2D town screen, please consider giving it an adequate style and transition, for example look how age of wonders 3 handled the "2d world map" when you zoom out.
19jshalky Potężny
I actualy think there is not a problem with 2d screen. It seem to me that the problem most of the people have with this new screens is that there are thinks that are just painted strange. I personaly hope that this screen is just placeholder and will be enhanced/ reworked later.
19iWellplay Obieżyświat
If there won't be 3d town maps in Heroes 7 atleast rework 2d town screens cause Haven one was not matching with how wolf duchy units looked like!.
16Blake00
Ive gotta agree with everyone here on the town screen. Ur demo was amazing, I was very impressed but the town screen is bad, it was like I had jumped into a different game. I didnt like the replacement town screens in Heroes 6 & it looks like you've got the same guy to do Heroes 7. I mean its a beautiful painting don't get me wrong, so I mean no disrespect to the artist, however slapping on an obvious painting with some animation tricks just isnt good enough for a modern Heroes game town screen!
16Blake00
Also I loved the weather effects & titans destroying buildings in the background of the catapult battle as it really adds to excitement. The map 'events' were awesome too eg titans destroying buildings, catapults destroying titans, avalanches, draining lakes, blasting forcefields etc. While simply a bit a bling it'll add more fun & immersion to the campaign experience. The castle battle at the end looked stunning! If only the town screen itself had the same graphics & background bling effects!
15Jaegerkiller
Hm i'm kinda sad that the Hexagonal Battleflields seems to be dead. But i love to hear that the Magic Guilds are coming back to game!!! I Hope the Spells there are Random again like in the Old Heroes days. :)
Seems like you guys are on a good way... I would love to see the "Death Ripple" coming back to game for the Undeads! And keep in Mind, that the Spells are important, put enough effort into them just think about the diffrence between Implusion in H5 and H6 (Day to Night LOL)
6Mitthrawnuruodu
I'm pleasantly surprised he said there would be attack bonuses for flanking / surrounding creatures. Should make the battles even more tactical.
20Royami-kun Wierny
Necropolis faction and town in Heroes V was so much Gothic an authentic! Its shapes were like death church was amazingly perfect! Please throw away that dead idea about pyramids architecture and egypt etc. It has not a half of charm from Heroes V necropolis with its tall and sharp towers! And yeah, made all cities in 3D! =)
13TB_Joker Mroczny
Agree 100% on the town screens! Having sweet 3D dynamic towns should be easy in this engine and frankly you spend a lot of time in your town so it is very important! On another note, I have not heard many voices on this subject but, heroes and mounts, can we have some more customization? Obviously your hero is hugely important and I always thought it was a bummer that your faction was restricted to one specific kind of mount. Let's make it so we can play around with that some more! :)

I would rather have great gameplay than great graphics. The building stone for great gameplay should be built on HOMM III primary as well as V and VI. Be sure to create for us a lot of single player custom maps rather than just focusing on the main storyline.
12Dantte Mroczny
I think the castle view needs something more. Looks bit boring to me. And Ubisoft don't use same looks for stable etc. from previous Heroes it is still new Heroes so it need new look for every buildings. As for combat the spells need much more look for animations. The spells look very very boring and way too similar to Heroes 6 spells. At the moment this game just look way too similar as Heroes 6. This is only what I'm thinking.

WE REALLY NOT LIKE THAT "TOWN SCREEN"....PLS
PLS MAKE EPIC 3D TOWN SCREEN LIKE HEROES V PLS.
14Namless-Wolfy
I am not "we". A lot of people doesn't want those crappy 3D town screens. You want them ? Play Heroes 5, but don't expect them on Heroes 7. 2D town screens are so much better !
6Mitthrawnuruodu
I agree with shop436 here. 3D town screens sounded nice and looked great on trailers but practically they weren't worth it. 2D screens are much clearer, all your buildings are easily visible and recognizable. 3D were just confusing, particularly the Inferno one.
Also you don't spend much time tin town screens so they need to load instantly. Don't want to spend more time loading the town than buying troops.
11MythosLoric
I read the comments before seeing the video cause the site was down, but when I saw the 2D town I thought it was one of the best things they could have done brought back heroes 3 and 4 memories
6vanduykts
2D town so clear, i agree .2D screen still good if a true artist make it...see town screen video. You like it?
if you only need gameplay...go play heroes 3. its best.
GAME OF 2015. I WANT BUY A GAME HAVE A GOOD GAMEPLAY,GOOD ART AND GRAPHIC. THANK GUY
15Jaegerkiller
Well, some ppl really enjoyed the 3D screen, it was just great and with a normal Pc they didnt cause loading time at all, LOL.
But nowadays they haven't the time to create those i think... so if you really create a nice townscreen in 2D its OK.
But please put some work into it. I like the design, but hope really they rework the screens a bit. H3 were best. :)
10Macejkos
STFU 2D from HoMaM 3 was best. 3D from Heroes 5 is just meh.
19iWellplay Obieżyświat
Atleast rework 2d town screens!. I hope Haven one in demo was only placeholder cause it didn't match with feel of wolf duchy units and it don't stand to 2d town screens from Heroes 3.
11Misgandir
It is a joke? It's horible. The world and the battle map of M&MH5 was perfect. The M&MH6 was worse but that video, I can't say anything.
11Misgandir
The M&MH5 was the first M&M game with modern graphics and they could not repeat it in the next edition but I hope they don't use the elements what are in the video.
11BoboMK2014
Just remember the first demo videos for Heroes V... relax, there will be changes
21GarionRahl Magiczny
Jolie vidéo ! J'espère qu'on en aura bientôt une nouvelle qui nous montrera un peu plus de gameplay !
29Cleglaw Doradca
Game looks like a mmh6.2 patch to me.
same musics and same music effects----this looks horribly lazy to me. i hope you will change them with something new till release. you guys released a patch to satisfy community about town screens. they were kind of nice but was looking rushed to satisfy people as soon as possible.
-------continue to my massage 2------------------------------------------------
29Cleglaw Doradca
i mean, making half 2d half 3d town screen task is a big and lovely task. it has a really great artistic potential but you were like "oh man we need to deliver this", so it was acceptable. but now, it isnt, you are developing entire new game here, you have time, you should make use of this potential instead of using nearly same town screens.
Adventure map is same, still beatiful but also confusing.
--------continue to my massage 3--------------------------------------------------------------
29Cleglaw Doradca
you guys look like you learned nothing from mmh6 experience. make towns, heroes, pickable objects and interactive buildings clearly understandable, clearly spotable.
you can make them bigger,
or you can make background fade out fromthem,
or you can make background feel like a painting instead of living elements.
i know you want to use technology and art at its best but the way you following, is hurting gameplay experience.
one last thing, those angelic and titanic helmets looks terrible.
29Cleglaw Doradca
aaand another one last thing, i wll die if i wont say this: 6 factions? REALLY? without introducing new factions, you allready have 9 factions, making only 6 looks painfully greedy! can you call this improvement?! cause i cant! it is a must to deliver all previous factions, and then you can consider adding new ones to DLCs. look how many factions HoMM 3 have...
sorry if i sound angry and rude, but i believe in you this time and im trying my best to tell you what i want so you can be succesful.
19iWellplay Obieżyświat
just for a second think about such propability that they maybe don't have enough money to make 8-9 factions at start.
29Cleglaw Doradca
nothing can hold the passionate man. low money? then work harder. depends on my personal experience, designing things takes time rather then money acctually. i lost count how many nights i didnt sleep just to deliver better designs.
most of the time money is just an excuse for the designer.
whats the main goal? to deliver expensive high quality graphics or to deliver excellent rts? if i were them i would be doing 9 factions no matter what i give up for, even if it means sacrifing high tech.
10Generalov438
I'm afraid that game will become too linear. On demo we're going through something like "corridor". I hope in future locations will become more spacious.

PLEASE UBISOFT!
Ubisoft please put more work in the castles view , i don't get it why u didn't keep Heroes V castles view and change with this failure , don't know if u know this but for me and many many ppl who likes Heroes of Might and Magic franchise is an important thing and make this game an Might and Maginc game .
