Might & Magic Heroes VI

[Skellt]

Heroes 5 was fun, but not nearly as fun as 6

Mainly because turns take AGES in 5, even though you like the game you'll get tired of that, and eventually quit. 6 is best of both worlds

[i.n.s.a.n.e]

Oh my Goodness! Skellt, you are one hell of a writter! =D

I am personally really looking forward to this awesome game. Me and my wife loved playing all the previous ones, as we love coop games and the fantasy. =)

We have a bank holiday next two days, I guess I know what I will be reading then, lol. =D

haha stronghold review should be coming up soon as well.

I love to review by far one of my fav game of all times, this heroes has the potential to wipe out Heroes 3 in my eyes, and thats no small feat.

And if i can convert anyone or help anyone in their decision i'll be happy to do so, thats why i'm doing it

And i enjoy it so :P

Thanks a lot for the reviews. Sanctuarium sound very interesting to me and the units look nice (offcial homepage has 3d-images).

small nitpick: It's Haven not Heaven.^^

[Skellt]

My fav are sanctuary so far, i have to try out haven again, they been my fav for a very long time, but sanc is looking like its gona beat em :P

Nec would currently come in 2nd

All reviews are up, feel free to ask questions

What do you think of the resources being combined into one form of crystal? Does it take away that feeling of old school HOMM?

Not sure If i'll miss Sulphur, gems, mercury etc.. I dunno.. just always been used to them being there.. it was a major part of the game, going to collect the different resources. Feels dumbed down a bit.

Only 3 ressources? This is quite a big change compared to all other heroes-games...
Just saw that amazon should be sending beta-keys as well and felt free to ask why I never received a key. Was told they would send the beta-keys not before 9/8/11... Makes a lot of sense to receive the beta key when the game is released

[Skellt]

well to be honnest at first i was struck and was like omg what is this nonsence only 3 ressources.

But it definatly does not hinder gameplay

I mean anyway in previous HoMM you had to make sure you had enough of X ressources to make everything, really it is the same, the only thing is that you wont go damn bloody mercury for my mage guild, then you dont have sulfur to build your black dragon...

Its really not such a big change, not one that affects gameplay, if anything it kind of improves it with territorial system.

The territorial system is also something i was kind of meh.. about.

But after playing around with it, i feel it is a big improvement, simply because you dont have to run after a bloody horse whos faster than you, try to pincer it just because hes running around for your mines, rather.
The territorial system improves players interactions in multiplayer, because if you want to get more minerals gold and whatnot, you gota take that castle / fort, a good improvement imo

To be honest that always kinda bothered me about the HOMM games...this new system sounds like a nice improvement.
