I appreciate the hard work and all you invest on it, but you guys kinda HAVE to think the longevity. 3d now is much easier than it used to be. I remember the days we moded civ3 with Poser with all those tools. Modding is essential, but people will not do it if they don't absolutelly love the game like HoMM3 and the first 2 FO games, 3dto2d is just too much hassle for most these days. If anything include the models you used so they can be modded as a basis for mods at least.

[@MeisterWonka]

Dear @unfrozenofficial I really appreatiate your work to create a game in the series, which was not only my introduction to video games as a child - but also the most important one for me. I really loved HOMM4 since it something better than any heroes before and after: It created a wonderful and coherent, credible world and atmosphere to get lost in. Every fraction was a serious mystical nation to explore, understand tactically and sympathy with. Also Paul Romero did a fantastic job - to not pseudo-epic, dramatic music - but more songs and melodies to dream with and get lost in the journey in this magical world. I really hope you can catch up to this feeling - but i really need you to listen to my critic about this necropolois fraction because I think, you need to improve here: -Keep the factions serious and coherent. Necropolis/Death was always a dead serious and created a feeling of devastation and desolation. Your Heroes shown at 0:20 instead look cartoonish and silly - and could decorate the titlepictures of a free2play mobile game. Also do some units like the good boy dog and the grave robber not really suit into the concept of death. Especially does the grave robber and his upgrades not resemble a strong and fearsome creature of death to me - but merely foot soldiers. Why not choosing the good ol' ceberus over the dog and gouhls/corpse eaters/imps/zombies/lesser demons/ or fallen/unholy creatures vom the sanctuary/Life faction? This would suit much better to the nation of the failed and fallen -Gameplay: A lot of the creaures I've seen habe abilities to resurrect/summon undead ones. Please consider that to maintain a credible atmosphere necropolis gameplay needs to suit it as well. The power of a necropolis army is about slowly draining the enemies life and energy - by weakening debuffs on attack, movement speed, moral and life draining by poisoning, sacrifizing units or reviving undead ones. Necropolis/Death should not be about healing (Lich) or summoning new/wild creatures (Grave diggers). I hopey this criticism does not sound too harsh. I really would love this game to be a huge success. This is why I've rewritten this whole comment for the 5th time to better express, what for me - as a huge fan of this series is important and why I believed the old titles have been successful. (Despite the reasons you already know, since you have brainstormed a lot about this, I bet :D) To all other fans: You you somewhat agree with me, please like this comment make it more "visible" for the developers to recognize it and help them to consider some of their aspects from a different view. Cheers, Alex Ps: Please try to get Paul Romero back on board :)

Vampires would be the weakest from champion units without drain ability, just like crusader in HOMM2.

Oh thank you for this Faction reveal. The map looks great. I like the design of the units. However I am concerned about readability. The units kind of blend into the background too much, so they are not that readable at first glance. They have a lot detail, but they are too small for their design to pop up. They look better when they are closely zoomed. I don't know, maybe different camera angle would help, their details blend into themselves once the battlefield is zoomed out. Please keep continue with your passionate work, Unfrozen. 😊

[@Rayce_Istanus]

I think having an outline around active unit and on a mouse hover, also unit numbers will help with the readbility

[@hehmda672]

@@martinian8 bro, take a look at. They’re okay

[@FrederikoCMR]

I actually don't agree with the readability. I think because of the art style it's kind of nice to be like that. I know this is about good practices in gaming but in general I would prefer this, more immersive approach, rather than a giant unit or very bright unit likes the ones we see in AoE4 (similar art style).

-1:10- So the Vampires don't have to be upgraded to drain the enemy's HP in this game? And based on the video, it looks like they're a lv. 7 unit in this game. -1:18- The 2nd upgraded version of the Vampire becomes a shooter?! And I think the Vampire Scholar blew up the dead unit at the 1:24 mark for an AOE attack. -1:28- Ah, the good ol' skeletons. They're always in every HOMM game except for the first one. -1:50- Wight/Wraith/Phantasms are lv. 2 creatures in the Necropolis faction? You know what that means. Goodbye, you useless zombies! -2:07- Undead Pets/Bargeists/Armored Hounds seem to be the stronger and faster version of the zombies but are lv. 3 creatures instead of lv. 2. -2:29- Graverobbers/Merchant of Deaths/Kennel Masters? That's new. And it's a lv. 4 shooter that can summon undead troops. -3:02- The death animation for the Lich looks gnarly. -3:07- Apparently, the Pestilent Lich can heal or resurrect friendly skeletons, but it does not have an AOE attack like the other version of the upg. Lich. -3:20- Sanguine Lich has an AOE attack just like the Power Liches in HOMM2 & 3. -3:33- Yo, Dread Knights are back? I loved using them in HOMM3! They're one of my most favorite Lv. 6 creatures in that game! -3:49- And now we get to see all of the Necropolis creatures' abilities. The Graverobbers/Merchant of Deaths/Kennel Masters ability looks pretty interesting, but there are some things I want to know: how many skeletons/wights/undead pets can it raise per stack, and will the undead troops summoned by the Graverobbers/Merchant of Deaths/Kennel Masters leave your army at the end of battle?

The town looks great! The characters are diverse and have their own personalities. Love it!

[@ohpit]

Some coments about this release: - The Heroes look nice with a real personality, not only all of them have a really nice look and they are clearly different but small details like their names give theme more background. I hope their gameplay feel also different. - The units l they give you more options, as it seems that every unit have 2 available upgrades for every, I think more strategies, adding to this that almost all the units have a unique abilities we (maybe) have here a lot of gameplay layers. - Eventhough this is more based on Heroes III (which is obvious as is the most loved gamed of the saga). They are adding new things or taking this from other games which is really cool. I mean things like Vampires are now the Tier 7 or the Skeleton Dragons not existing it is maybe bittersweety but also feels refreshing.

[@ubivashka-kun9464]

Thanks for the video. The further I wait, the more I like everything so far. Beautiful cartoon graphics, pleasing to the eye, with lots of detail and animation. The units are quite interesting, it's good that you are trying to play something new, gravediggers and barghest and not just regular bone dragons, etc. I added the game to the list of things expected in Steam a long time ago.

So glad the faction reveals have started rolling! Been waiting for this, and the Necropolis lineup looks great. While the Bone Dragon has been one of its iconic creatures throughout the series, I had always found it lacking for a champion creature. It always fell behind the other dragons, both in power and appeal. This reaper-like champion you chose to go with, similar to the one in H7, is much better suited in my opinion, and I like the abilities it comes with too. Double strike on a champion creature had a great appeal to me in H2 with the Paladins/Crusaders, and this has a very welcome, similar vibe. Well done, Unfrozen! Keep up the great work 🤗. Looking forward to future reveals. Temple or Sylvan next maybe 😁? I'm most curious about those.

Looks good, if I had to change one thing it’d be dread knights and their upgrades. The proportions are out of place. They look small but bulky at the same time, sort of like a Warcraft character. If you look back at them in older 2.5d heroes they had more realistic proportions. I’d also give them a more realistic weapon like a sword, that scythe looks silly and over the top to me. At the very least just make the horse bigger. All in all this might be the first heroes game I played since heroes 4

[@si1ver_spruce]

Unit abilities looking very interesting

[@nTu4Ka]

You made a smart choice taking what's the best from HoMM III and HoMM V. Great job on many places. The good: -Objects on the map. -Really awesome fog of war. -Exaggerated lich death animation. Also some other death animations (like skeleton's). What can be improved: Are all of these things final? Can I suggest some improvements? 1. Heroes names. Please change generic noun-derivative names to real names: Funerella, Bulwark. Maybe change some others that are debatable but may work: King-of-Kings, Guildmaster Klastor (remove Guildmaster), Shadepinner Oona (remove Shadespinner). Kel'Ghul (is Ghul derivative from Ghoul?, please use any other word). One other issue with the names is that they don't seem to have same philological origins. We have Kel'Ghul (seems middle eastern), Laura (central European), klastor (sounds like western Europe). 2. Abilities animations are too long. Not sure how often they are used but if they are frequent, it's going to be really annoying. E.g. Graverobber "Dig Up Bones" animation. 3. Change attack target marker color to red (when player clicks on the enemy on the map). 4. Change "Undead pet" unit name to something else. It's just lacking character. 5. Turn should not freeze while death animation is played. Not sure if it will interfere with game mechanics but waiting for some death animations will become annoying at some point. 6. Kennelmaster ability name "Fetch" not very consistent with animation (digging). Maybe renaming ability name to something else would be better.

[@unfrozenofficial]

the lack of large units ruins the perception of the game. it's like removing all the music from the game. there's no longer that immersion and feeling that you're fighting with a STRONG combat unit. and even within the framework of such a hex system, it would be possible to somehow increase the models of those units that should be larger than others. it looks insanely stupid when a rider on a horse is almost equal in model to a ghost. This is very bad!

[@MoritzBra]

this should be easy to change, it is just scaling

[@briandaniels2408]

This looks amazing! Day 1 purchase for me.

[@vesch8985]

The music was also a key component in HOMM3. Bringing back the old bangers (and then adding new ones) will make a huge difference.

Выбор существ и их внешний вид потрясающие, отличная работа! Unfrozen молодцы, хочу сказать что этот Некрополис на мой вкус лучший за всю серию. Было бы круто, если бы драконы призраки тоже появились как дополнительный юнит, например чтобы мертвых драконов можно было бы поднимать заклинанием в костяных драконов/драконов-призраков. Вместе с тем такие нововведения как мертвая гончая и вампир на 7 уровне на мой взгляд - замечательные решения, отдельный респект художникам вампира (всё остальное тоже выглядит супер, но вампир богоподобен). Мне не нравилась тема с пауками и ламассу из Асхана, здорово что ростер существ получился более классический для образа Некрополя. Интересно, из классической нежити, будут ли вурдалаки, зомби и мумии нейтральными юнитами (или подниматься заклинаниями)? Единственное, что на мой субъективный взгляд является спорным решением, это посадить рыцаря смерти на кошку (это придирки, но хочу дать полный фидбэк, даже с таким субъективным замечанием). На мой взгляд кошка чуть уменьшает серьезность и чувство угрозы по сравнению с образом из седьмой части. В любом случае потрясающая работа!

[@faradiz24]

Я тоже не понял почему он катается на кошке(

Рыцарь смерти - такой малютка. Так и хочется спросить: "Кто это у нас такой маленький смертичек, кто такой грозит своей маленькой косой"

that wich king death animation from lotr on lich lol nice reference

[@jonathanw7520]

So stoked for this game!

[@Fullgrym]

The short videos showcasing individual units have much better info about said units' spells, this one doesn't really show what most of the skills actually do for example the upgraded death knight's abilities. Anyway, all units look stunning. I was on the fence initially about the art style, but all units revealed so far look unique, recognizable, and really nice. Do I understand correctly that the vampire is T7 unit? I'm a bit concerned about how it will be balanced, being such a max tier unit with life drain sounds quite dangerous lol.

[@unfrozenofficial]

Yes, vampires are t7, and we will constantly look into balancing them properly!

[@dodang_9147]

@@unfrozenofficial will mage units scale properly in number? i remember in homm5, mage faction had mages with fist of wraith/fireball but there was little point in using said spells because they would lose scale after like 100 mages. another funny thing was death knight's special skill killed 1 unit guaranteed so having 1 knight could kill big units. Hero curse spells would scale off duration but combat would not last 48 turns. other problems i remember in homm5 was the fact that playing defensive and offensive was impossible because units lost into offensive was units lost for defensive. so maybe late game, you can get defensive garrison units that scale with your current army cap of that city. like if city has 250 skeleton archers outside, you can garrison up to 250 skeletons in that city that raised 250 skeleton archers. defeating your opponent offence weakens their ability to scale defensively.

[@topchips7793]

This looks soo nice. Are you planning to release it on consoles?

[@unfrozenofficial]

For early access we only have planned a steam release, console/maybe gog later towards 1.0 release

[@xellis8434]

Поставить вампиров на Т7 - решение интересное, но это наверное лучше, чем очередной дракон.

[@forsarmfreim1933]

Согласен, вампиры плохо смотрелись бы на тир 4.У них абилка слишком сильная:)

[@uryel7773]

Костяной дракон это канон. Ещё Ник Перумов в своём романе про некроманта Феса писал, что величайшее заклинание некромантии это призыв костяного дракона. Только на сколько я помню. Это не дословно был скелет умершего дракона, а созданное из множества человеческих останков чудище. Внешне напоминающего дракона.

I bet there will be a mod adding him to the game

If the devs have half a brain cell, the game will include Sandro, Solmir, and Crag Hack. Can't have a HoMM without those legends!

@@ВячеславКротов-р2гI mean Sandro is undead he is necromancer so immortal in case of necormancers it has no sense that it’s before him imo

[@murlocaggrob2192]

@@Baseqq Sandro was originally a warlock in HoMM 1 before he became a lich, which is canon to the plot in Shadow of Death. This game takes place before HoMM 1, so Sandro wouldn't have been born yet. However, Thant is confirmed to be in the game.
