the actual “scale” of those creatures MIGHT change within those boundaries = means no =)
neon sadly doesnt mean not green necro =( (btw why cant they just simply say if green necro or not...)
funny animations is just money-wasting in my opinion
but at least it sounds like they consdered it
map , editor and modding sound good, in map editor make objects occupy squares so its much simpler (dunno how H6 editor worked i couldnt even find decent object placement in it
Keep up the good work !!:)

@Avonu
Hopefully that terrible shade of green will stay away from the undead faction his time around. And that terrible purple for dungeon. Too much of a color is bad, but the wrong color for the wrong faction can be equally as bad.

not act creatures once per turn please,, want initiative. make an effort
29Cleglaw Doradca
good to hear :)
also no initiative system please. slow creatures=useless with initiative system.
9SPANISHDUVI Potężny
and that the hero can act at any time of combat. It's that simple and it will be much better for combat strategy and Entertainment
9SPANISHDUVI Potężny
@Cleglaw
if you like simple games, there are many free internet, but it is assumed that the Heroes 7 will be a great game
28ramborusina
Pretty sure there is initiative, but it's in h6 style so it just arranges the order of the units Cleglaw. Essentially it's same as h3 system, but the initiative is just seperated from speed. They've already said they are using the h6 battle-system and seen it on the demo(s).
9SPANISHDUVI Potężny
. H5 initiative but improved, we are now in 2015 I do not think it's that hard to do
28ramborusina
Duvi that's what should be done about as many aspects of the series/game as possible; upgrade, improve and polish them. Take the best out of each title and make it better^^
9SPANISHDUVI Potężny
Ramborusina
effectively, but it seems that rather than grab the good things, the bad things they fuck. I always have the illusion of getting a good Heroes, and I see that it follows the same path as the horrible H6
30GalaadleHaut Bohater
What I really hated and consider as DRASTICALLY different from h3 battle in h6 ones is the speed of units, not as initiative, but as movement. Core units crossing entire battlefield in two turns, almost one with morale boost ? lol ... Hope we will avoid that.
@Ubi-Nox : Blue writing is good.
9SPANISHDUVI Potężny
if they attack all creatures once per turn, so go ahead to attack. expected with zombies back and when you arrive and archangels, and madness in equality and attacking everyone once per turn. that this injustice for the game
9SPANISHDUVI Potężny
si atacan todas las criaturas una vez por turno, para que ir adelante a atacar. se espera con los zombies atras y ya cuando te lleguen los arcangeles, ya estais en igualdad ya que atacan todos una vez por turno. que injusticia esto para el juego

@Ubi-Nox i have soem little questions: The so called funny animations,will they be like in H6 (in style,lige pogosticking marksmen,baletting juggernought and so on)? Will they be activate-needed (like the konami code in the live stream) or optional or will they always occur? It's kinda important for me to know.
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
hey Ubi-Nox.
Can you stop ignoring me and tell me if the druids will be male?

yeah i know, but i thought should press on my opinion because of GURS(demand heard.). i dont want devs to believe everyone wanting initiative.
about 3d towns, we didnt make too much loud voice, and later on some people got suprised by the amount of 2d-ts supporters...
what i get is, its better to make opinions loud.

30mediczero Młot Losu
Jeremiah, Can't you just wait and hope for what you believe is best..?
denisa, druids can look even better as female, and I'm willing to to compare what you can find with what I can find to prove it. Secondly, vampires may be unliving, but they are still not immortal, so armored vampires would be more practical prepared for war than aristocratic vampires...
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel

Jeremiah, do me a favor and find a picture of a druid, not a king...
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
Elven Kings can look like Druids. Remember H5's King (was it Arniel?) the model they used for him was a Druid.
30mediczero Młot Losu
I would still advice you to find another picture. We can leave that design for the campaign hero...
11KevinTran_ Wierny
I would rather have male druids. The druids in the 5th heroes were amazing. Female druids just felt weird.

@mediczero
that would work...
if the setting was Peter Pan, singing kumbaya telling how great being a Disney Princess is. While you're at it, might as well add Tinker Bell in the background.
This is Heroes, not the Disney Princesses game. She'd be the better choice if Dungeon has Rapunzel instead of Medusas, the Orcs' main hero was Fiona and Snow White calling her army of animals to reign down on her foes.
30mediczero Młot Losu
It fits the natural theme of sylvan better than your king. Beside, you can expect me to pull of official art from a previous heroes game, as there have been no female druids there...
21bjarked Doradca
I would claim that this female druid looks pretty cool

30EnergyW Twardziel

11KevinTran_ Wierny
I prefer the male one. The female model is lame. Sorry mediczero.
23Matooob
There are just more male druid artworks on the internet, its easier to choose. In my opinion its all about the artist, if he is able to make epic looking male druid, he could also draw cool female druid, or its just beard loking more druidic? Hope they will make female druid, just for change, they could make her model really interesting.
30GalaadleHaut Bohater
Well said Matoob. Male or female is not relevant, graphical design is.
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
@Matooob
With the same logic, an artist depicting a female Namtaru can make an equally kickass male Namtaru. Would you welcome male Namtarus just for the sake of change too?
@GalaadleHaut
Would you say the same thing about male Namtarus or male Pixies or male Shadow Witches or male Blood Furies, etc..?
@mediczero
no it doesn't. Disney Princesses are even made by a different company. They're not even in the same genre as Heroes LoL.

There's art aplenty in the great world of internet. The only thing that requires discussion is whether or not these elf druids should...wear more clothes. Hm, I guess there's no need for that. H5's Blood Maidens weren't exactly fully dressed either.
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
so many White Knights here..
@MarbleThrone
they are just druids. None stood out, unlike the badass that I posted.
28Marblethrone Rycerski
@Jeremiah: not bad, not bad. A bit intimidating, but okay.
28Marblethrone Rycerski
Besides, what makes 'yours' stand out in comparison to the ones I posted? Yours isn't all too special either. And personally I think the red-haired druid catches the eye immediately with that glowing, fiery hair of hers. And another, the one with those exceptionally long ears, pointing to the sky and with an expression on her face as if she just realizes something interesting. Plus, there is the staff. Where's your dude's staff, eh?
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
@Marblethrone
I don't think many players care about eye catching red hairs and glowing girly girl eyes. Besides, she looks too soft to be a war unit.
How badass a unit is? Now that's a determinant. Your models on the other hand look like Beauty Queen Pageant girls who has no place in the battlefield either. They'll just be comparing makeups and hope at the end of the day, they nails won't get broken.
28Marblethrone Rycerski
Well, you can't really blame an Elf for looking young, delecate, maybe a bit unsure. I mean, even at three thousand years of age they can still look like they're in their early twenties. Goes for the males too.
And as long as the Druid in question carries with her a staff, you better watch your words matey. I must relate, out of personal experience, that one wrong word or action will result in a cooked ass Lightning Style. Not to mention walking around all day thinking you're a bird.
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
@MarbleThrone
Uhmm.. ok. But we're picking the most appropriate-looking candidate here. Take note, this is a war game, not disney princesses. The best Druids are the most badass ones if you ask me.
28Marblethrone Rycerski
Now we're talking. Yes, I am fully aware this is not your average Miss Universe election, but a fantasy RPG game which includes battles, campaigns etcetera. Still, I don't believe 'best' or 'badass' has to equal 'male'. The examples I've shown may not be the best of their kind in that respect, but why shouldn't the dev team be able to create an everlasting badassness using a female model? Maybe they'll have their faces covered like the Haven Magic heroes.
30mediczero Młot Losu
Jeremiah, who said the female druid can't be the most badass?
28Marblethrone Rycerski
Which means their still-present beauty doesn't have to show (or perhaps, distract?) that much. It's below the surface of whatever it is they're wearing. A costume like the H6's Dungeon magic heroes would do, don't you think? A robe, green and emerald, golden embroidery, runic symbols, small rubies...I don't know, there's a vault of possibilities.
30mediczero Młot Losu
We could have something like this: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/e0/47/7c/e0477ce733849991d1ea1215806a9e9b.jpg

@mediczero + @Marblethrone
Full badassery is male in my humble opinion. That's just how it is. Male favors the badass side while female favors the kind and caring side. While yes, there can be men that are kind and caring or women that are badass, the most badass are just male and most kind and caring are just female.
It's actually why I never had any bad opinion about Sisters. They fit their role. If it weren't for the badass Priests, I'd welcome them in the Haven lineup.
20Anemesis Najeźdźca
I feel bad for Ubi-Nox, lets us know what's happening and then gets druid-gender-spam...
Anyway I like the more classical druids over the strange MMORPG druids and the H5 art for the druid was more classical so as far as I'm concerned its in the right direction.
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
In my opinion, these should be the only units in Heroes that are female (or the only female units in Heroes)
1. Pixie
2. Dryad
3. Succubus
4. Sister
5. Namtaru - though I admit, I love to gender-bend her but only because you gender-bend Druids. Though she may not get a spot because Necropolis has a lot of better choices for champion.
6. Banshee
7. Harpy
8. Shadow Witches - though they can be male. What do you think mediczero? ;)
9. Medusa/Coral Priestess
10. Yuki-Onna
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
@Anemesis
well, if he gives an announcement that druids will be male, I'll shut up about it. I promise.
Please Ubi-Nox, I'm begging you. Give Us Male Druids. That's all I'm asking. ;)
oh yeah, and keep the hunters and blade dancers male. That's it for me. You'll make one fan happy. It's very easy to make me happy you know.
30mediczero Młot Losu
Jeremiah, Traditionally witches was female, but in some places of the world (like Finland and Iceland) they didn't understand this and declared many males as witches. But for a good order we should have them female, fits better with the theme of the dark elves. Also, I'm starting to question if we need badass druids over wise and intelligent druids. But I wouldn't mind them being male if we had some actual humanoid female pixies. And please add the glories to the list of the females...
30GalaadleHaut Bohater
Jeremiah, you speak about badass all the time yet you can't stop whining like a little girl.
Why would they change all concept only for you, you are being utterly unreasonable.
Also, I am personally much looking forward to a female druid unit.
20Anemesis Najeźdźca
The only 'gender-bending' of druids was actually making them male in H5.
H1: Female
H2: Ambiguous
H3/4: Hero class m&f
H5: Male
22wasd1200 Obieżyświat
Why are you still bothering to reply him? Accept that he doesn't know reason or logic,it is useless to f*ck your minds up by fighting this gender-troll...
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
@Anemesis
H1 gender-bended Druids. Druids were traditionally and historically male
@mediczero
Druids were also traditionally male. If you think witches should be female and druids should be female and use tradition as an excuse then you're being a hypocrite.
Though, I do agree, I prefer a female Pixie. Make them look H5-esque. The Dryads should look something like a wood-like female. Then, all the others: Druids, Hunters and Blade Dancers are male.
@wasd
since when hav u said anything logical
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
cont...
@mediczero
And correction, the male druids look more intelligent than the female druids. Female druids has the advantage on the kind and caring department.
@GalaadleHaut
the male gender voting of the druids is winning so are you sure it's just for me?
Plus, since when is female druids becoming the norm all of a sudden? The male druids are the traditional druids. Just curious, do you think witches are not allowed to be male too?
22Niwroc Pradawny
Seriously dude, read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_druids_and_neo-druids
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
@Niwroc
Before we continue, may I ask what's your stance on male witches? Do you approve of male Shadow Witches in Heroes?
22Niwroc Pradawny
Not a fan, but if one can come up with a justifiable reason for having a matriarchal society have men in one of the most important positions fine.
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
@Niwroc
So, let's just say we have Shadow Witches instead of Medusas (which would be better actually)..
do you approve of the creature model to be male instead of female?
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
ok, ok..
I didn't read your rebuttal right.
Say this is what happened:
The Dark Elf men started revolting because no men was allowed to become Shadow Witches. They have this movement called masculinism. The movement was successful and it turns out that more men are better at doing the Shadow Witches' job than women. More men became Shadow Witches and now, about 80% of Shadow Witches are male.
That should justify why the Shadow Witch model is male. Do you approve of this? Why or why not.
22Niwroc Pradawny
I'm against that particular story, better would be a single clan, maybe a handful that have societal positions inverted. So you have some matriarchal and some patriarchal clans.
The reason I don't like that is because it seems weak. This is because there is no apparent reason that males new to the profession would be generally superior to the women who probably trained from birth nor why would so many of them stop suddenly.
22Niwroc Pradawny
On druids, I think the ratio is actually close to 50/50 in game so the model could really go either way. Based upon past heroes games, it would be female. Based upon H5 it would be male. But being serious here, there is really no reason for one to be overwhelmingly more common than the other based upon hero distribution which is roughly split evenly between male and female. I don't anticipate the actual numbers being more than 60/40 regardless of the in-game model.
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
@Niwroc
So, you're ok with male Shadow Witches as long as there's a good lore. That's good. I have to admit, I was about to group you in the same league as mediczero, but then I realize, this is a different guy. I apologize.
Anyway, the 50-50 distribution of gender was in a different world. We are now in Ashan, where no female druid has been seen before. Plus if you'll base it on hero distribution then knights, wizards, rangers, necromancers, etc are dominantly male (see H5).
22Niwroc Pradawny
Actually, in 1-4, druids were predominately female or androgynous. In 5 we have at least a handful of verified female druid heroes. Such as the one that specializes in sprites and a few others. And on the others you listed, yeah, their factions armies are predominately male or totally gender less in the case of academy and necropolis which is the case with a number of their units.
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
I don't think you're understanding me correctly here. Heroes 1 - 4 was a different world. Enroth and Axeoth is different from Ashan. Almost every (if not every) druid in Ashan is male. And if I remember correctly, Dirael's job description was ranger, not druid.
22Niwroc Pradawny
Double checked it, Dirael's bio says she became a druid. I'm pretty sure Ylthin is too.
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
@Niwroc
Fair enough. However, male druids still vastly outnumber female druids.
Making Druids female is like saying we should make Shadow Witches male.
22Niwroc Pradawny
Can we just drop this conversation, I am sick unto death of these conversations. Can we just agree to disagree since its obvious on that issue we'll never convince each other of anything.
22JeremiahEmo Niszczyciel
@Niwroc
It's up to you my friend. I'm no feminist or Social Justice Warrior wherein they force their beliefs to a person. I do however, have a problem with double standard, which people like mediczero seems to show.
But yeah, if you want to drop the conversation, go ahead.
22Niwroc Pradawny
Yeah, I think I'm just stepping out of the druid conversation altogether, I've made all my points and my position is abundantly clear. I really don't need to keep repeating myself every day on this.
28Chiasa Szalony

Weather effects sound great, didn't care much for day/night anyway.
Less colour coding than H6 is certainly good, but I'll hold my judgement until all factions are revealed. :)

30EnergyW Twardziel
There is minimum criticism on this article.
Even so, it does not matter, for devs should consider listening to us. We *are* fans and we expect a quality game. If the majority does not agree with something, well then, I guess the devs must be blind and deaf not to acknowledge that.
What is worse is calling us spoiled brats. A low point on your account. As if you want us to stop raging to have H6 drama again.
19Demnia Strażnik
@EnnergyW Of course I enjoy us wanting the feedback and I love that they do it with us and yes espacially after H6. But in all honnestly, most comments I read are "not happy about this or that". People seem to NEVER be happy, and pick at the littlest. So yup, spoiled brat, I stand by it. Let them do their job, give your opinion but stop crying at anything. I stand by that, sorry.
22Kimarous Wspaniały
^ Define "majority", since it often seems like the same three or four people bringing up the same inane arguments over and over again. Also, contradictary complaints; one moment accusing the devs of not giving them what they want because of budget, and the next demanding features that would really exceed said budget. 3D town screens comes to mind...
12CaptainOfMinion Wierny
I'd say that it's a phsycologic problem in some way. Becouse people will always find something to "whine" at. If there is small ammount of things that are bad, people will whine at every detail. And on this site we get posts quite frequently but they are small and contain not much info. So when there is not much to talk about and people have sometimes even few days without anything else to talk about, they'll talk about everything that is bad/wrong (in their opinion) in that post.
19viragosg Furia
I feel people happy with this topic and if they make criticisms they mostly right. People also write many supporting and pleasured comments.

12CaptainOfMinion Wierny
Btw, comment section is here for us to show what we think of the info we're given and give constractive critisism. Many people "whine" and "cry" about every detail becouse they love this game series. They love Heroes of Might and Magic. And they want H7 to be as good as it can be. So they want everything that is bad to be removed.
19viragosg Furia

@Captainofminion I don't know, I've been playing for a while too and I see more complaints in comments than praise, to be honnest. A lot of people, reading comments, seem hyper picky to me. Anyway, I'll end it here because this might be a never stop subject, but yup, I find a lot of people rather harsh and never happy, always picking at the smallest things. I don't think it's "cheering" for the dev team, a lil less critism, a lil more happy about the good things would be nice. Anyway, I shut up,

Hey, Kimarious, a fine example of majority are fans who actually spammed the article with that #GURS. And it worked.

20Ekohippi
Maybe there is a genuine reason why People complain like bad decision, did you consider that? If we just stay quiet regardless what crap gets thrown at us, we can only blame ourselves. For example townscreens, Probably 90-95% comments were negative about them. I think the reason was pretty clear since they were pretty bad. Fans made way better versions of same screen which should be Devs job! It feels like they are just gonna put some lousy ts and hero model together hoping fans Will fix 'em! :(

Also townscreens are all work in progress.
And web site changes are not made by same developers.
17adambjpoole
Ared, if town screens are really a "work in progress" then it would have been nice to see some actual progress between the awful Academy screen and the still-awful Haven screen. But instead we got more of the same problems - as if they had completely ignored all the comments/criticisms/suggestions. I cannot continue to be reassured by the claim "work in progress" when that happens.
Otherwise full agreement. Seems like the animations issue is getting way over-blown.
23JotunLogi
I really do not see any reason about townscreen- animations and all mechanics connected can be with progress. But not art and concept of the town itself- it is not as hard and it does not require IT knowledge, just proper talent and fantasy.
Many games have great arts and graphic conceptions (often they are their only strong point). I do not buy this "in progress"- art of the town can be done correctly immediately, without errors and things not done.

Ну они говорят, что их спрашивали, будут ли адаптировать героев под геймпады. Они ответили, что франшиза в первую очередь ориентирована на ПК (и гордятся этим).
Ну а я тоже горжусь. В жопу консоли с их геймпадами. Только хардкорный мышево-клавиатурный гейминг ^__^

Эй, ну на консоли то наезжать не надо( Но это правда, герои на консоли не нужны. Вообще, на консоли очень хорошо играть в гонки и файтинги, остальное как-то не удобно. насчет того что компьютер лучше согласна, но у консолей есть один хороший плюс: из-за того, что мой компьютер старенький, многие игры он не тянет, а вот на консоли нет понятия системные требования, игра в любом случае пойдет. Но все равно,как бы консоль не была хороша,я все равно всегда возвращаюсь к компу, он как-то роднее чтоли.

А вообще, денди и тетрис наше все :D. До сих пор помню то счастье, когда под елкой увидела денди. Марио, утиные истории, Чип и Дейл, Алладин, эх, вот времена были... До сих пор на планшете играю на эмуляторе иногда. Правда, минусы тоже были: постоянно бесило, что картриджы не работали, и приходилось дуть на них.

Мираш, вызов принят. Вздёрну тебя на парочке карт некрами)
30Sempai_Mur Mroczny
@Elizaveta98. Если "98" - это год твоего рождения, тогда очень странно, что про картриджи и денди ты вообще знаешь не понаслышке)
20Elizaveta_98 Mroczny
Ну, в детстве, как-то в рекламе показывали денди, мне ее так захотелось, что в письме к деду морозу( да, я в него тогда верила, мне лет 7 где-то было) я про нее написала и под елку положила. Ну, мама естественно это прочитала, и как-то утром, я просыпаюсь, не успев и глаза продрать, и тут мама с денди) Да и вообще, 16(почти 17) это и не такой уж и малый возраст. Один знакомый, ему сейчас 14, тоже в детстве в денди играл, и ничего.
30Mirash_ge Smok
Мне конечно не 16 \ 18 мне уже )))) но я денди в глаза не видела \\\

I think this was said several time already. For example during the stream
28ramborusina
It has been said by devs on several occasions that it will have off-line mode after initial registeration. First time might have actually been during the first german interview after summer.
30GalaadleHaut Bohater
Yes it was confirmed a long time ago, but not on this website IIRC.

"The game will only requires a one-time activation and then will be fully playable offline."
That's great, it really is, but no online-activation at all would be even better : I don't like having to hassle through Uplay before I can finally press INSTALL and relax.
Moreover, is a mistrust towards true fan who will purchase original product, on top of being completely useless as pirates will always bypass security -is what they do.
Nevertheless, I am looking forward to HoMM from Limbic !

Glad to see no colour coding for factions and the inclusion of legacy heroes!

I only have one criticism; Is making funny animations the best way to spend limited time and resources? Aside from that i really believe this time we are going to have a great game.
30EnergyW Twardziel
True that. Town screens are less important, yet goofy animations are...?
28Chiasa Szalony
I suppose people making animations aren't the ones who design townscreens, implement gameplay mechanics or are in charge of this blog :D Maybe they're bored.
I don't in the least care about some funny animations, but don't think it's that much of a problem

Why are they spending money to keep the worst thing about H6? "Funny" animations where the gravestone of that game. It may be good for 7year olds but but in owerall,it is worse than any other faults in the whole heroes franchise.
28ramborusina
@wasd because some of them have to defend their honor having worked on h6 so they consider it the best game ever and try to take elements from it! Or so it feels to me at times, (sighs...)
22Kimarous Wspaniały
Because "an extra silly animation for existing assets" is TOTALLY equivalent to modelling a highly detailed new model while accounting for both default and moving camera positioning!
22ptrsc Pradawny
@ramborusina
They indeed do so but this has nothing to do with honor. It's business: they cannot scrap everything from H6 coz it would be like officially admitting that they made a bad game. And if shareholders would see any hint of something like that the stock price would drop and company could loose quite some money.
30EnergyW Twardziel
There are other things to take from H6 and still make it a good game.
(*whispers* Talking about Sanctuary.)
22ptrsc Pradawny
Yeah, one would think that Sanctuary is an obvious choice...
Right now they mostly take H6 graphics style (or am I forgetting something?), and I'm glad about that. Sometimes they borrow a bit too literally and that is not the best.
The most controversial design decisions of that game were dropped. That is very good.
21Avonu_de_Odihs Tajemniczy
>>>Is making funny animations the best way to spend limited time and resources?
They probably will reuse (reskinned) models from Heroes 6, which have funny animations included. So why not use something, what you already have? You are not losing (much) money on that.

"Of course, if you want to play online multiplayer mode, you will need to be connected."
ROFL :D

I wish we will see something really new here soon. Something like a creature. The last time we saw something TRULY new it was 4 XI 2014 (hydra). I used "truly" because Academy reveal wasn't something we didn't know.
Can't wait for Sylvan :-)

Why do so freaky many people communicate in Russian here? Use your common sense and use English.....I'm not talking Dutch either right?
28Marblethrone Rycerski
If they try to communicate in English, it sometimes makes even less sense than their native language. Still, some people don't seem to understand this is an international community, and English clearly is the language used by many here. It does create a schism, two seperate 'clans' of fans here, and we never know what they are talking about xD.
Personally I wouldn't mind if you started communicating in Dutch, I would gladly participate!
30mediczero Młot Losu
And I'm not talking danish... Seriously, those russian comments can be quite annoying at times
9SPANISHDUVI Potężny
I am Spanish and use the translator to make everything easier for everyone and put it in English
28Marblethrone Rycerski
"Translator". Just like LightAvatar once used that to write a sentence in Dutch (when he challenged us to write a wish in our native language and he responded to those who did). I understood the concept, and only that. It made about as much sense as trying to bring down the Emprie State Building with a spoon.
28ramborusina
Yeah, it's really annoying when people write in non-english here. It's total spam in my eyes, pretty much like line-up discussions... Lot of room in older topics if you must write...
12Exsul-Aeger Mroczny
To be honest, though, most posts in Russian are made by the same people, mostly. They are just really
12Exsul-Aeger Mroczny
They are just really frequent when it comes to posting stuff.
22wasd1200 Obieżyświat
If i know it correctly,there is a russian version of this vebsite,it's even accessable from the bottom of every article and the homepage. So why don't they discuss things in russian there? If there was a hungarian version and i wanted to write something i hungarian i would write it there and when i wanted to write something in english i would write that here. So i don't understand this at all.
28Chiasa Szalony
@wasd
Not really, no matter the language the comment section & articles (also in English, there isn't even a French version) are the same
20Tokusatsu Szalony
My natural language is Portuguese... I understand English comments and even can write in English, but it is totally impossible for me understand Russian, even with the help of Translator
It is like trying to understand Simlish for me o.O
22Niwroc Pradawny
While I don't object to people talking about things in there native language, it would be nice if I could understand what was being said. Given the level of discussion on some of these things I have to assume that these people have some good conversations, I just wish I could understand what they were about.
30Mirash_ge Smok
Russian language is officially in this forum. Google-translator-problem.

"9. Will there be cinematics in Heroes 7?
There will be cinematics in H7 but they will have a complete different look & feel from the ones we had in Heroes 6."
YES!
This was my question for the Q&A. After having experiencing great cinematics in H5 and then not so much in H6, I was really hoping H7 would actually use the freaking camera this time. Great!

+ Creature models resize;
+ Full game content offline;
+ Special creature animations;
+ Cool-cams frequency;
+ Night maps and weather effects;
+ Preserving the "Heroes" feel and having a powerful Map Editor;
+ No more neon color-coded factions;
+ Legacy Heroes ( like Sandro? :D );
+ Cooler cinematics;
+ PC title. " optimized for the holy Mouse & Keyboard ;) ";
+ Powerful modding tools ( hopefully! ).
I'm lost for words. All of this sounds amazing!
