I just wait it more and moreover, I cant wait this new video was beatiful really tactic and really hard battle in there.



I only dont understand thar the omperial griffins so strong , stronger than any demon creature in this new battle because of the battle dive. I think the special attacks of the creature can be use just once in a battle.



And I see that the pit fiends are really strong and tats demon creature dont upradged up too.

There is a 100 MB version of the movie on IGN (http://media.pc.ign.com/media/736/736187/vids_1.html) for subscribers only. Blah.

The griffins special attack grants them extra attack power, but if there isn't anyone in the line of the attack, it misses. It's a tradeoff, per say, but I probably won't use it much.

I think the Griffin's dive attack is primarily useful against shooters, since it forces the opponent to either move them (and probably waste their turn) or suffer the consequences. And even more, if the opponent doesn't know the square you've targeted and has several stacks of shooters, it could cause quite some indecision--does he move a stack to save it? But which one?

I feel there can be balance problems with the griffin dive attack and the holy charge ability of the hero. If it works like it's mentioned the opponent has nothing to target and suffers free damage. I suppose it has to be adjusted by initiative bonuses allowing the stack to attack before the griffin can do the battle dive again. Anyway the videos are excellent, this version has the potential to be the best of the series really:).

I've got a question... When I watch the video, I see some graphical errors (the animation is not fluent and the rocks are literally cut when the hero moves fast... especially between the 17th and the 20th second of the second video from Leipzig)...



Is it a matter of file or the demo worked like this?

Monastor: there are still several months left before the game ships, so there are rough corners in all areas -- the beta testers will likely notice it during the following weeks.

Been away awhile, and was very dubious about the new Heroes game coming out, but after seeing this demo I think they've kept the spirit of the battle aspect fairly true. While I'm still a fan of heroes on the battlefield, I think I can live with the compromise they've chosen (the holy charge).



The only problem is I'll have to buy a whole new computer to play the game!

Yeah, like Angelspit said, they probably minimized the graphics to the bare necessities for slow computers and the fact that it's just a video.

Did any one else see that when your hero levels up that there are two things to chouse from: Skill and Abilities.

With skill being things like: counterstrike, light magic, summoning magic, and logistics and abilities like the following: recruitment, diplomacy and pathfinding. I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this or not, but I just thought it was interesting.
