The Heroes Round Table

Long live Heroes! Long live Celestial Heavens! Long live Angelspit



Huzzah! I third that!

Very intriguing, indeed...

Yeah... his comment about swamp towns is certainly a curious one.

> I think Flamers of Hate would be more relevant to message boards. ;) How 'bout "Spammers of Hate"? :P Doh; stupid extra comment. Anyways, I'm glad they're bringing caravans back... and dare we hope for a complete return of alternate upgrade routes...? Edited on Sun, Oct 29 2006, 10:01 by...

I like.

Hmm, textboxes... As a mapmaker, I definitely miss the ability to pop up a question box for the player to select one route or another. If the option is there, I sure haven't found it.

I'm really eager for a Naga town. Bring on the wise reptilian worshipers of Shalassa!



And speeding up AI turns would be a big plus to gameplay.

Has anyone succeeded in getting their own PWL image to work for their map? I seem to have the procedure right (according to the tutorial), but whenever I go to provide the SrcName (i.e., the .tga file) for the texture, it just simply refuses to put the text of the filename in or load the file. I alw...

"maybe the editor will be more complete and finished than the actual game! Then our maps might create a whole new type of gaming experience." Well, that's been known to happen. I'm just hoping that the editor is easier to use than most of the editors provided with 3D games, and is less res...

Well, there have been plenty of hints that it's nearly done. I suspect we'll see it before the 20th. Software development never takes the amount of time the developers' plan on it taking, so I can't say I'm surprised that it's later than predicted.

A "monthly" schedule for patch release apparently really means every month and a half. The first patch was released in early June, the second one was released in mid-to-late July; I suspect that the third one will be released in the next few weeks. Edited on Thu, Sep 07 2006, 07:25 by Even...

It seems that a large percentage of the reviewers were aiming most of their frustration with Heroes V at the release process for the game rather than the game itself -- in other words, the fact that the map editor was not in the initial release, that the game had bugs (it's software, therefore, it w...

So, the possibility arises of a serpent/sea faction, eh? Most interesting... It's probably more than a bit too early to start guessing what creatures it contains, but when has that ever stopped anyone? ;) Lvl 1: Nixie/Naiad Lvl 2: Lizardman/Lizard Warrior Lvl 3: Serpent Fly/Coatl Lvl 4: Medusa Acoly...

Most excellent! Well done, you guys!

Yeah, bother; it's coming out not long after my birthday, too. Oh well. Delayed birthday present, I suppose...

Well, I think we should wait and see what is in the Dungeon before we assume that it is very similar to the old-style Dungeon. Personally, I think they were intending that the Dark Elves were the "completely new" feature of that town.

The Nature town has also been confirmed: it's called the Sylvan.

Well, Sir Charles, I slightly disagree. It looks a lot like the town sketch Fabrice posted last year, as it has that large tree in the center -- plus it's in a lake. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm starting to think this new Nature town will have a certain elemental focus to it...

Anyone notice that the style of the new Nival Necropolis looks a lot like NWC's Heroes V Necropolis that we saw some time ago? I'm only recently a fan of the Necropolis, and this is making it a LOT easier for me to get into this dark faction!

Keep in mind, it's almost a year until Heroes V is done. Most of the questions that were asked he couldn't answer because development hasn't reached that point yet.



I'm generally satisfied with it. I'm just looking forward to the following year, and the possibility of a completely open beta!
