Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era - Dungeon Faction full reveal (Happy Holidays!)

[@unfrozenofficial]

Here comes our 2nd full faction reveal. Even though we have so much more in store for you within the next few weeks, we would like to already wish you Happy Holidays! Don't forget to wishlist Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era now: store.steampowered.com/app/3105440/Heroes_of_Might__Magic_Olden_Era

[@tuffnus1]

As a dungeon main I couldnt have been more happier, definitely did the faction a justice with all those eye candies. All of the units look and feel really powerful to use just by their animation. City also looks great, very atmospheric. Great, great job. Also it feels really great to be the grand unifier as Dungeon, a normally evil faction. Really underlines the threat of the story (whatever it may be).

[@LoLaSn]

I hope T3 is Beholders and not just more underground elves

[@absoluteidiotslive9978]

It would be so cool if the animation for the Infiltrators were actually hit and runs instead of stopping between each animation, like they'd come out of invisibility for just a second, still running, make their attack, then go invisible again before making it back to their starting point. Or even if they had the option to hit someone on the way to another spot, sorta like the grim riders from hommv

[@unfrozenofficial]

Thank you for the nice feedback. We will consider it, even though they already do have a hit and run back attack stance.

[@BarsNeMars]

This was supa dupa great reveal! Thank you!

[@kpiorno]

After HoMM3, these creature models are the best for me, respecting the previous versions. I am very excited about this game

[@gambikules]

nothing is respected...armour on dragons ? why ?

[@Nebin164]

THANKS GOD THOSE ARE NOT SOME UNDERGROUND ELVES ON DINOSAURS!!

[@linkiller86]

i'm so hyped right now !! thank you guys !

[@actionfirst]

It seems like the main faction mechanic of the Dungeon is a fighting style which gives different ways to attack at the cost of damage. Necropolis has Necromancy including with the creatures themselves. I wonder what the other 4 faction mechanics are

[@diegodoc598]

Those dragon flames are amazing. The city looks alive and beautiful. The classic style fits perfectly with the creatures. All that remains is to polish details. Very good work.❤

[@docterzero1503]

Ooh I love the medusa designs! Definitely my favorite unit of the rooster so far Also, curious about the tier 3 unit. Guessing it is being changed from the H6 style Charkram dancer to something else

[@rebelrebel8398]

The city and portraits look so gorgeous omg

[@unfrozenofficial]

Glad you like the designs!

[@stekl0v]

Goodbye dungeon dominatrix, i will miss you The visual looks cool

[@ВячеславКротов-р2г]

Здорово! Мне все очень понравилось, как всегда вы большие молодцы! Со времен Героев 3, думаю, это лучшее Подземелье которое было. Мне нравится что в отличие от версий Подземелья из Героев 5, 6 и 7 у вас все юниты разные, а не 4 эльфа. Если юнит из 3го тира будет эльфом, я бы хотел чтобы он максимально сильно отличался от тира 2, так как здорово когда в замке разные сказочные существа (возможно такое мнение не широко распространено, но все же). Также хотел бы отметить, что волосы на арте у героя медузы (Ylwari) на мой взгляд лучше чем у моделек юнитов, там змеи прям топорщатся, не похожи на прическу. А еще Черный и Пепельный драконы суперкрасавчики, и все гидры тоже. К Гидре прям уникальный подход получился и очень очень удачный

[@DrApfelwurst]

Please give us some way to appreciate the models like in Homm5. I loved the fullscreen shots of the units when recruiting them. It would add another layer of immersion while showing off your amazing designs and all the lovely detail you put into them, which cannot be clearly seen in the battles.

[@DrApfelwurst]

Oh and also: the heroes portraits are insane

[@unfrozenofficial]

you'll be able to see the unit models in a zoomed in model :)

[@DrApfelwurst]

@@unfrozenofficial You guys really thought about everything. I am so excited to play this game 😍

[@Phoenixzs1012]

I guess it's a solid classical lineup. I hope 3rd level is not something "dark elf doing this" or "dark elf riding that".Maybe area effect attacks could be smaller in area so that the damage does not get dilluted in terms of damage. Otherwise I am happy with it generally.

[@hIIXu]

the townscreen camera movement is a bit chaotic, BUT those flying lizards filling the cave make it so alive! Amazing job on that!

[@alexdeitch259]

Amazing reveal. The town screen design is one of the best in the series history, if not the best. Now just add wizards (tower) and barbarians (stronghold) to the fuctions roster (could be a dlc, i dont care as long as we get them) and i'm a happy guy.

[@unfrozenofficial]

We will consider adding more and more factions! Glad that you are enjoying the designs.

[@Tazx33]

I like that black dragon looks like hes mad and ashen dragon looks like hes smiling

[@bestserg]

Wow animation and units models look super cool!

[@AHappyCub]

I hope you guys can be successful enough to yoink the the Franchise, HoMM deserves another chance

[@HeroesOrchestra]

tbh this background music fits perfect

[@musicman12395]

I hope the tier 3 is the beholder, one of my favorite units

[@hIIXu]

it was previoulsy revealed, and i got bad new for you it's not a beholder, however the secret 6th faction seem to have some sort of beholder in the roaster

[@yyyxyxyxxyyxxy]

Amazing reveal, super excited for more! One little bit of criticism, this time the unit showcase felt a bit too swiftly paced, it was difficult to appreciate both the animation and read the units description. Perhaps the unit's animation could be played twice, so there's a bit more time to take in the details? Oh, and also - will there be a way to speed up animations during the game? The infiltrators teleport ability looks absolutely boss, but I like to play the smaller fights against neutral units more swiftly so I thought it would be neat if there was a way for one to speed up the longer animations. But nonetheless, I'm absolutely hyped for this, Merry Christmas to all of you, too! ❤

[@unfrozenofficial]

Thank you very much for the kind words, Merry Christmas, soon :D ! Animations will have a toggle in game, where you can go faster or keep them slower, to your preference!

[@DrApfelwurst]

@@unfrozenofficial I think they meant it was too fast for them in the video :)

[@Mine-md8oz]

DRAGONS!

[@pagthesec1626]

Cannot wait for the release! :)

[@unfrozenofficial]

We too , We too!

[@Darkborn]

Odd that Hydra is Dungeon and not Fortress, but I'll take what I can get.

[@unfrozenofficial]

We brought our own creative decisions into the game too, not just all the line ups from the past for units :D

[@smutnejajo5149]

Honestly, it fits.

[@Tihi85]

Hydra has already been in the dungeon in Heroes 5.

[@ShadowFerretofD00m]

Hydra has been Dungeon or Dungeon equivalent in every game except 3. It was Warlock in heroes 1 and 2, Asylum in heroes 4, and Dungeon in heroes 5 and 7

[@andrzejnadgirl2029]

It used to be part of Warlock - basically also a Dungeon, in HoMM and HoMM 2.

[@MaikSeil32]

wow i want it i want to buy this game one more time

[@GR-007-Games]

Great job guys! You are doing awesome stuff!

[@KroLuYT]

Poggers!

[@nordstar2698]

You did justice to my favourite creature the Black Dragon, THANK YOU!

[@gorxela8982]

I had some qualms about the art direction of the game, but not gonna lie Dungeon units looks absolutely amazing. Black dragons especially. One question though - are infiltrators basically harpies from 3 or are they more like blade dancers from 5?

[@unfrozenofficial]

They're closer to Harpies from H3 and Blood Furies from H5 in terms of their role!

[@themedic1242]

Can't wait to try the game, really impressive work. Also if you don't mind a small feedback - I'd be really glad if enemy units after being turned into stone by medusa would behave a bit more petrified - like not move I mean, anyways great job on the game, thank you Dear Devs.

[@Demonancer]

Giving the Hydra to Dungeon does not bode well for my missing Lizardmen Fortress v.v

[@unfrozenofficial]

A lizardman sacrifice had to be made :

[@temp911Luke]

Merry Christmas !

[@i_am_ergo]

My only complaint is that transitions between animations look really choppy. But otherwise, this is awesome! Happy holidays!

[@unfrozenofficial]

Animations will be able to be sped up quite a bit in game. And we are also working on polishing them as much as possible of course.

[@unknown_unseen]

Aside from all the amazing details, what I really like is a thematic diversity within the faction. These varied color schemes, crystalline, fiery or toxic aspects and unique species of these creatures really make you feel that the faction is alive, each unit is a distinct facet of the army. You guys are cooking a GOTY nominee for sure

[@mercs7849]

Looks awesome, but Petrification VFX could use some improvement, I mean come on, guys!

[@tobiasz3956]

happy holidays and thank you for another great faction reveal keep it coming :)

[@unfrozenofficial]

Happy Holidays!

[@MrR2g2]

Everything looks amazing, I can't wait to play it! One minor feedback. Maybe the "hit and run" Infiltrator attack should be speed-up a a bit , or simplified.

[@unfrozenofficial]

Animations can be sped up in game, this is the base version, for showcasing mostly!

[@EdgecutorLP]

Only 7 Heroes? I hope there is more.

[@diegodoc598]

@@EdgecutorLP 18 heroes per faction confirmed

[@Amiran_Ramalotti]

Красота то какая... Лепота.. Мы , в России будем играть в это 100000%%%

[@polishguy8495]

Petrified units shouldnt have animations, they are stone!

[@KukharyshynOleh]

1:57 Why dragon's head is inside it`s target? Can you fix that? Most of creatures are fine, except gidras, i didn`t like them at all, they are too "flat".

[@fajarfa7581]

will those area attack be friendly fire too?

[@charmquark7514]

I‘m in love with the Ashen Dragons already!!! They really capture the nostalgic feel of HoMM dragons for me. Lowkey makes me wish we could have seen Ghost Dragons in that style.

[@koldyn2193]

if hydras are now dungeon units what will be with Fortress town? will it made to the game?

[@LOV3_Haboob]

That's fantastic! Keep wowing us!

[@arturabramian5622]

Great reveal!

[@ФениксМаркович]

Интересно

[@СергейГородской-ф2ж]

Кайфф,скорее бы релиз🔥

[@Astroga159]

First of all: the city looks fantastic, dark and dangerous and the cavern light behind is a wonderfully touch Secondly, the dragons looks absolutely AMAIZING. While Heroes 6 and 7 had their ashan version who look cool and fitting since they are based on the dragon gods, this style looks like a combination of danger and strength of Heroes 3 dragons and the sheer awesome presence, weight and might of Heroes 4 black dragons. The rest of the units look awesome too and I'm very happy my troglodytes return. The Hydra looks badass as well. Also will you do music reveals like themes, combat music and such? I'm on tenterhooks Btw a side question: I'm seeing that quite a few dungeon heroe sprites are actually non human-like minotaurs, a Medusa hero and a troglodyte hero. Will they have a monster model like some have in Heroes 6 and 7 (angel hero, cyclops hero, most were confined to campaign but some were available in skirmish) to add more immersion or will they use a generic human hero on horse model?

[@goingpostal_ps]

Красивое

[@railfe_]

Did the worldmap became cartoony compared to the last one? Or it is an improvement?

[@ShadowFerretofD00m]

I'm a big fan of this dungeon lineup, probably my second favorite after 6 (i think dungeon's design was one of the only good things about that game lol) Excited to see more about the other factions!

[@Kych666]

Awesome stuff here, can't wait for the Early Access! :)

[@snaek12]

Офигенно! Как фанат 3их героев ЖД!

Christmas came early this year! 🎉❤🎄 This reveal was absolutely amazing and I am extremely greatful for the insane hours of hardwork you guys put into this! An amazing gift, that's what this was! Merry Christmas and have a jolly time with your family and loved ones!

[@unfrozenofficial]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Merry Christmas to you as well!

[@AstaSlip]

Не, ну это имба полнейшая

[@STEPanovMaksim]

Красивая анимация у драконов, inner flame. Интересно что он делает. У меня сразу идея возникла почему бы, когда активируешь этот скил, то дракон бы продолжал гореть на время ходов скила

[@РоманДробязко-ъ9с]

Great job!! I hope t3 unit it is Manticore!))

[@LandBark]

Wow, music for town is still placeholder from H5 and lack of tier 3 unit? True professionals. At least heroes in names do sound less humorous than Necropolis one so that's positive.

[@unfrozenofficial]

Tier 3 unit is being changed due to a lot of feedback, so we will reveal it a bit later on. As for music, just a tiny bit longer ;)

[@diegodoc598]

@@LandBark true sympathy...

[@Davide-uq3sf]

WOW! Super good 😮

[@tovarischtaiga]

не понял, а где апгрейд в Сэра Троглодита или герой хотя-бы?

[@morlowski]

Too much of the "AI waveing" and them Knights could fall asynchronically. Map is the key anyway though.

[@ДмитрийШиробоков-х5ы]

Выглядит интересно, очень нравится, но возник вопрос юнитов будет 6 ?

[@АндрейИванов-э6к2е]

Третий тир не показали. Как понимаю из разговоров в дискорде разработчиков - ещё не до конца определились с внешним видом.

[@andrzejnadgirl2029]

I really love the looks and animations on units, all feel really slick. Though I hope that infiltrator animations gonna roll more fluidly, singular exception as he feels little bit awkward - though that spectral attak on one upgrade was neat, just great! Love the style overall. Merry Chris to you too guys!

[@karyotesnyan7265]

Gonna play this on my Steam Deck!!

[@jeremijasskrabas5955]

Awww trigolytes look cute

[@Yakugari]

Black Dragon looks more like Violet Dragon :/

[@yannisbelouris8275]

Excellent 🎉🎉

[@dornifol6435]

Great reveal!!! I have one idea though, not sure what the effects of Petrification should be on Medusa sculptor, but it would be cool if the affected unit slowed down its animation or stopped it completely 😊

[@unfrozenofficial]

we will change the medusa animation a bit depending on feedback!

[@Cr00xY]

WOW nice!

[@kuklovod7219]

Размер моделей существ должен отличаться,а то драконы,гидра и минотавр вообще выглядят не эпично,нет в них мощи

[@mackmind]

Too much rule of cool applied far and wide for my taste - it looks like a mobile game. I guess animation guys had fun, but you're aware that not every arrow is always glowing, if you smash with an axe it won't magically smash everything in line, if you shoot once a rain of arrows won't fall, etc? Abilities seem a bit abstract in terms of immersion - descriptions quite make sense but depictions are clearly not literal. My main point though is that when every single thing is flashy then nothing is. Apologies for an essay, just wondering aloud what it could be that disturbs me a little when comparing to HoMM3. I guess the game will be just better in its own new ways. Thanks!

[@GabelHUN]

Everything looks so neat, I'm very optimistic. But I hope some of those animation is just a placeholder for now, that petrification effect looks a little goofy, the soldier still moving and all.

[@stefannicolae2570]

A+ for effort.... but this looks nothing like Enroth....

[@xenosophont]

Is there hope for the T3 Dark Elf unit being replaced with something better than that "Chakram Thrower" from Heroes 6? I hated that unit's ridiculous concept in H6 and I'd hate to see it here but the previous videos did show an exact copy of that unit as Dungeon's T3.

[@unfrozenofficial]

We will reveal the t3 units a bit later, with our own twist !

[@docterzero1503]

Yeah, it was kinda silly, and I say that as someone that enjoy's H6 dungeon. Personally hope they stick with a dark elf unit, perhaps a duel crossbow one like in Heroes 7 but actually doing the concept justice

[@toraktitelen]

looks amazing, I already want to assemble a gang of trogladytes

[@gambikules]

Золотая броня на черных драконах лишняя, режет глаз. Драконам броня не нужна, у них бронированная кожа / чешуя. Можно было и трусы натянуть. Остальное не плохо

[@toraktitelen]

Это для демонстрации статуса скорее

[@wornof]

очень большая проделанная работа радует глаз , явно моя фракция будет , но показалось , что уж слишком много механик и способностей для юнитов , баланс под вопросом

[@toraktitelen]

Отбалансят в случаи чего с патчами, да и большинство способностей это урон по области в обмен на уменьшение урона в одну цель, так что норм

[@АндрейИванов-э6к2е]

Ну игра в начале выйдет в ранний доступ - будет достаточно времени понаблюдать как это будет работать в реальных матчах. Разработчики планируют часто обновлять игру во время раннего доступа, так что явно всё будет десять раз перебаланшено.

[@morfea123]

7/10. Don't like: Homm5 like town screen (atleast this game got one), Infiltrators and Homm5 style units in general. I like: Minotaur looks mighty awesome, so do drakes and Tryglos.

[@sirczarny1]

sorry but this is not H3 at all this is candy heroes :/

[@xDelejtx]

Guess what: this is not H3. If you want to play H3 then... go play H3? If you want to play H3 in modern looks then... go play H3 HD? I don't understand what's your problem here and what were your expectations?

[@sirczarny1]

@@xDelejtx my expectation is to have finally successor of H3. But this so far style is to much candy for "me".

[@user-vv1dl5ir2t]

Design-wise these are probably the worst dungeon units of all the parts😢 Especially hydras and dragons

[@ShadowFerretofD00m]

The dragons look much better here than they do in heroes 1 or heroes 6/7. I haven't decided if I like them better than the heroes 5 dragons yet. In heroes 3 and 4 they're cool and all but they don't have that much character to them, they're just a cliche dragon that is black, nothing really separating them from the other kinds of dragons.
