The Heroes Round Table

ya know on paper this game is looking kinda cool. But some of the ability names cold be better

Djinn is the actual name. The name comes from the pre-islamic arabic term for wind spirits...as opposed to ifrit for fire spirits (where efreet comes from)...genie was a delineate from that word...I have always preferred the anglicized arabic words ifrit and djinn (pl: djinni)

Hmm..don't i remeber from a POTD that the Inferno hero had wings...then that hero should be able to fly...or else why have wings....just a suggestion.

You guys that are talking already to Heroes 6? If Heroes 5 does not make this corporation cash, i doubt they'd spend the cash to make another one....

Hmm.... magic system not based on factions....that might be good. So i guess you'll be able to learn what spells you want (or can find). That might make magic kinda boring though...i thought magic in HOMM# was boring. But then i played 4 before i played 3 so maybe its a perspective thing. In HOMM3 y...

Hey Sauron thats a ridiculous notion that Elves would kill a human simply for wearing fur. The political stance that claims the wearing of fur is evil is a modern ideal in the age of synthetic fabrics etc. Fur has always been used as warm clothes even by those who respect nature. The Souix tribes wo...

I doubt war dancer would be a dwarf...i dont picture dwarves dancing in combat

Wonder if the GOlden Dragon is gonna just be a large melee creature or a magic user as in HOMM4

Hahhahhah! I just finished the American Way Huhuhu. Awesome.

Video Games are the only media form i can think of where the sequels are almost always better than the originals. But too many time developers try to use the name recognition to help sell a crappy game i.e. Forgotten Realms Pool of Radiance (the second one not the original vga one) The developers tr...

Why is the caravan so objectionable?. I thought it is an useful tool to bring troops to strategic defensive town and as a 'refilling stop' for your main adventurer hero. Its like a supply line.

Well, i think we should save the being unhappy until the game comes out. Just remember there alot of dog games out there. As far as 'discarding' the old universe...anything can be written to bridge the two if they want to.

Valve has done good work in the past (half-life was cool, though i am not a fan of FPS games much))...and if they wanna spend the cash to make something...lets wait and see. If its a dog thenthey'll lose cash. If it turns out to be good then good.

Sounds like these guys have a good impression of what they want. And i think the game is going to be excellent!

One of the things i liked about HOMM4 was the usability of heroes in combat. Whats teh point of callin the games Heroes of might and magick if they don't get into the mix and prove thier heroism. Real knights were in the mix of the combat. Now i know this is fantasy, but even in fantasy the real her...

Such hostility over video games. I really liked HOMM4. I had never played any games in the series and a friend of mine showed my HOMM4. I thought it was great. then i looked at HOMM3 and 2. They look pretty god but i dont think the gameplay is nearly as fun. I do not see your arguments that HOMM4 wa...

HOMM 4 was the first Heroes game i played. I have looked at Heroes 2 and 3 and i still say they pale in comparison really. They are good games but i just like the elements in HOMM4 but then i was a huge Disciples fan too. I dont think its a good idea to take the Heroes out of the combat. I mean what...

Does luck affect all damage or just spell damage?

Hm...one table i would like to see and i have not been able to find anywhere. I still dont know exactly what luck and morale actually do. Morale makes you attack sooner and raises attack and defense? And luck reduces the amount of damage recieved? I have never seen a faq that defines them exactly.

Order creatures are the hardest pick...i find i leave the second level creatures when i can anyway...mages are great when you get a bunch of them...but they are always targeted and its hard to keep em.... I tend to use all ranged stuff and magic bolters when i can...but golems and nagas are very use...
