The Heroes Round Table

Yes, I have returned to Heroes IV and have just reinstalled Equilibris. The game executable works fine and I am able to open and edit maps made in the standard version of WOW but get a fatal error while open any maps that are supposedly Equilibris maps. After the error, the map editor shuts down. Th...

Thanks for taking the time, Kalah! Well done. Though I may be in the minority, I do appreciate the graphics. This weekend I upgraded to a 4gb nVidia 970 card and can say that they really are quite spectacular and now smooth with the better graphics card. To me, it adds a dimension of reality that I ...

My lost armies count is showing inaccurate numbers (higher) of losses that persist up until the next battle. Even adding troops to the hero does not get the numbers back to where they should be until the next battle.

I just received an email from Ubi asking me to complete a survey on Beta #2. According to Ubi, "your comments will enable us to work on improvements before release on September 29". I'm wondering if others have completed the survey and what they thought of it. The survey did allow me to ma...

The caravans are similar to H4. You can only caravan troops that have not been purchased and not those posted in a town. Caravans can be brought into towns and forts though rather than entering the unit, the stay sitting outside it. That's a bit odd and I have not found a simple way of adding all at...

Pol - though I can understand your perspective that a fixed budget may go one way - graphics - or another - gameplay. I personally found the AI turns in the beta to take longer than I expected. There could be a number of reasons for that which Ubi may be addressing. I also found the AI gameplay to o...

King Imp - I tried to capture an enemy mine for the first time last night. The don't seem connected to a building like they were in H6 but I was not able to take control of it either. My only option was to 'scuttle' it for what I believe was 2 or 3 days. Not sure if this is how it is designed to wor...

Agree with everything you captured in "The Good" and "The Bad" though I must say I do enjoy the better graphics and their ability to make it feel more real. I also agree with cleglaw's comment that it does have a h3 feel to it, particulary in the battles. I found it virtually imp...

PROS: - Gameplay does seem more consistent with H3 as was promissed - Interesting new complexities: building out town requires choices and picking one means you don't have the other. Will be interesting to see if they provide a way to undue like they did with skills in the VI Shadows version. The n...

Am wondering how folks are reacting to the beta. I was able to book a few hours over the weekend. There are a number of expectable bugs that I am sure are being worked out. What was more troubling to me is that gameplay seems much slower. Moving around the map, obtaining a much greater number of res...

I have two faults with the HD Edition. The extended set of HOMMIII maps that come with the original version don't work. That's a bit aggravating. It also requires Steam which wants to always run in the background and is a bit of a hog.

We've seen and heard little from Ubi on the HOMM front. I for one am thrilled to see a glimmer of hope.

No new maps. No talk of new expansions. Not even any hint of rumors! Feeling like the series is dead, or at least dying when we finally have a good interface and even reasonably good game play (though plenty of other faults like user-community expandability). Is anyone hearing anything out of Ubisof...

What, no ragging on Ubi for charging ten bucks to bring Sandro back from the dead??

All my saved - auto and manual - games crash duing the loading in 1.5.2.

Anyone experiencing problems with the patch? All my "Pirates" saved games crash during the load. Grrrr...

Personally I have not noticed anything remarkable but then again, the release plan did suggest that the value of the patches will increase as they progress. I do wonder how far behind the orignal communicated patch release plan Ubi is now. Am hoping for a useable map creator/editor. The editors have...

Thanks for all the responses on releases and the map editor. All great news!

Does anyone know the distribution plan for those who pre-odered? Will we be getting disks or a download invite? If a download, seems we could have access even sooner. Also, has anyone heard anything on map making and a map editor? I've read all sorts of UBI posts on game longevity but have missed th...

Not sure about the rest of you, but the load time I have experienced with the beta is such that I can enjoy this artwork one pixel at a time...
