Really, the spider theme has gone a little bit too far...

Articun The Wanderer
February 04, 2015 19:00:39

And i'm saying this even though i support the spider theme...

No need for everything to have spider stone legs...

And where are the tombstones?

Articun The Wanderer
February 04, 2015 19:05:54

Also, some purple and white, even a hint of red would make the city look much better

Articun The Wanderer
February 04, 2015 19:08:15

Finally, it looks like a single building and not a town of sorts... Maybe some more towers, some tombstones here and there, some minor buildings will make it feel more compact...

Necropolis cannot be same all the time. But yes, of course, H5 townscreens were the best. These ones look at least better than H6 ones.

Antalyan The Ancient
February 04, 2015 20:22:38

Maybe it is a necropolis city because when anybody sees it, he dies (to not to have to look at it)

adambjpoole
February 04, 2015 20:24:09

Yes, they look better than H6. But H6 and H4 town screens are NOT the standard we should be looking to beat. They are examples of what to avoid, not replicate and barely improve upon.

Kimarous The Magnificient
February 04, 2015 20:36:56

Exact middle of the screen, building one third up from the bottom. Bunch of tombstones. Smack dab in the middle.

Claiming that there aren't any tombstones is a blatant falsehood or a lazy oversight on your part.

adambjpoole
February 04, 2015 21:02:36

Kimarous, I really can't tell if you're being sarcastic. This is supposed to be a Necropolis. You think a smattering of tombstones grouped in a single spot (which I actually had to scour to find after reading your comment) create a sense of death and undeath in this supposed city? Those tombstones won't even be there until you build that dwelling either.

Antalyan The Ancient
February 06, 2015 15:41:28

ERRATA:NOW I UNDERSTAND: OFFICIAL REASON
H7 takes place around the time when the Spider Cult was at its strongest, which explains why it's much less prominent in H6 (it was only beginning) and in H5 (after the War of the Broken Staff, the unity of the Spider Cult was broken and each Deathlord went to carve his/her own little dominion in Heresh). At least Spider haters can take comfort in the fact that after H7 we'll never see a Necropolis with such a strong spider theme ever again ;)

Heroes V had the best Necropolis. A dark, menacing, haunted castle above the woods, surrounded only by fog and moonlight. Why can't we have something like that anymore?

Ultramagnus1611 The Faithful
February 04, 2015 19:28:50

Absolutely yes! insted of Necropolis we now have Spidropolis.
Непонятно, чем их так не устраивает тематика нежити, что они НАСТОЛЬКО превращают некромантов в паукомантов. Нет, понятно, что они поклоняются Асхе а она паук, но все же, это уже до смешного нелепо. Грусть печаль тоска

Antalyan The Ancient
February 04, 2015 20:18:00

Maybe necropolis will lost its spider thematic after H7. Some political change...

Aseved The Guardian
February 04, 2015 21:26:49

I agree Heroes V Necropolis was great and the standard we should evolve too. But strangely, i see in this town some "transition" from Heroes 6 necropolis to Heroes 5 necro (pyramids being replaced by spider legs, that would be curved up and stilized into spikes by the time of Heroes V, when the spider for necro is just a symbol and not a religion).

But that might be just me.

GalaadleHaut The Hero

YES, Heroes 5 necro castle to this day is still my favourite. Better than even Heroes 3's ncero which I loved too.

The multiple giant moons, the dark misty forest with glowing lights.. the huge dark spires with eerie red and green windows.. lots of graves and bats flying around. It was awesome.

This crap isn't even close.

From the way they were much more on your face about Asha in Heroes V, yes, I can see that.

This might be the height of their Spider fanaticism. At least I hope so.

It's not really fair when Rob and Paul make awesome music for the towns, and ubisoft goes and makes such crap. Different precepectives and different general design of the towns would be a start.

Necropolis should be about UNDEADS, not about spiders. The spider-theme should only be symbolic. This is way over the top, excessive. What is the point? You already know that most people hate the spider theme. Why do you insist on it? There is absolutely nothing in this townscreen that points to Undeads. At least a skeleton or a grave or something...
