I love those screens.

[HealingAura]

I love it!

I love the new creature screen look

I love the hourse cursor

Though, I don't know why if it's a semi full game we still see "?" in pictures

[Infiltrator]

Excellent post. Finally we get a glimps of what's to follow.

Oops, refreshing this page creates a new comment...

Well, I can add that I'm glad to hear about the "exp from losses" option

Why did they change the Treants? :(:(

One of my favourite unit from H3 (and whole fantasy world), and one which I missed the most from H4, now will look as if it had anorexy or something.....:(

[Omega_Destroyer]

What happend to the Treants!?

[apathy59]

I sure hope they hire a good english translator. The broken english in the Gamespot preview is painful.

[Omega_Destroyer]

How come the icon for the Treant hasn't changed then? That seems odd that they would change the unit design but not the icon pic.

New Treant looks kind of evil, or somehow very pissed off! I didn't like it actually. I think they're trying to make Sylvan look full of rage, anger, vengeance, etc. What do you think?

[Omega_Destroyer]

I can see that. In a way, it reminds me of the Bone Golems you'd see in Icewind Dale 2; tall and lanky, with an evil look about it.

[Omega_Destroyer]

Or the weird Krees from Serious Sam 2.

"Unit Isabel hits unit Skeleton"



How stupid is that! In the battle screens on GameSpot, you can see that the battle log is just silly. English in the dialog boxes just sucks. They desparately need a good translator. Some words are capitalized some are not. Hopefully that's why it's called a semi-finished product and those will get fixed.

Wonder if they will change the treants a one last time, they look so skinny, thing but hey some trees are =D

Can get used to the, at least they are unique

Oh and GH look at the 2nd picture below the creature icons, you will see some green battle log tex very similar to prev versions.

Good post!

[Edswor]

Go Horse icon, go.



The text of the log in the gamespot preview are diferents that this ones .

[Zilonite]

Did I get it wrong or simultaneous turn mode will not be implemented :-(?

[FantoMaxJM]

@Orfinn: Check out the Ancient Treant in Ururam Tururam´s post, that looks more easily to get used to I think (referring to your beard).

@JoniJM



Riiiight, lol =D



Oh! Nice to see the horse icon return, it is to useful to get rid of!

[Pitsu]

Not Civ or AoW type of simultaneous turns. At least not in this release. But you can have "time pressing" battles which makes battles kind of real time and ghost mode is "your turn during opponents turn".
