Had this video queued up for a week, finally watched it. What made the town screens in Heroes 3 & 5 iconic was seeing your city start out with so much empty space and slowly building it all up. I like the idea of having little guys walking around the towns. It really needs great music to go with it for sure! And if you add the little villagers they 100% need to make some sounds too. One feature that I'd really like for the developers to add - this might be a lot of work, but lets say you build a griffin dwelling and it has 5 griffins in it, you should be able to see in the town screen background 5 griffins flying around in the sky. You buy 1, then you see only 4 griffins in the sky, etc. etc. Up to like a max of 1 or 2 weeks growth. Not every creature needs this, but it would be very climactic if you buy out all your army barely anyone is left at the town.

Having been a long-time player of Heroes since 1999, I'll admit that watching this made me shed a tear.

[@BoroMirraCz]

I'm not sure about the visual design. The units are too ornate and create visual clutter. Everything is so shiny, gilded and ornamental. Like, in the battle I wasn't even able to tell what the ranged unit in bottom left was. An angel? A Protoss? And the rest of the units (and heroes) in the battle had similar issues. Shining mace on one unit, over-designed helmet on another melee unit, tons of golden something on the gryphons. Why can't gryphons be simple gryphons? Melee knights to be knights in armor. And angels be angels with classic angel wings? Like in heroes 3? Also, the town design is a bit too pompous and "fantasy". HOMM3 has more real and immersive town screens. Castle looked like a town with fantasy elements, Temple looks like a set of fantasy buildings and not a town. HoMM3 Necropolis was dark, creepy and dead. This Necropolis feels like a seat of someone cosplaying as a Necromancer. Why do necromancers need a giant reaper statue? Giant glowing bits on builidngs?

[@junker154]

I think the style has cohesion but it is true that every units seems overly decorated.

I totally agree. As ssethzeentach said, the undead are kinda like different flavours of monster energy drink now. I think less overworking would be waaaaaay better than cramming fireworks and shiny things everywhere

[@Brodsmoler2]

The game looks fairly fun and all, but I wholeheartedly agree with this. What made HOMM3 so great was its sense of reality. The graphics were "bad," but the rest was filled in by the most powerful computer in the world-your brain and imagination. For Necropolis, the creatures genuinely looked scary. Personally, I also love the unpolished, raw sounds of HOMM3. Like the tavern, where old men whisper as they drink all day, or ghosts screeching from the crypt (I believe).

[@duacir]

I really like your presentation of the game. The music you use for the three cities brings back so many good memories ... In any case, this demo is very tempting and I will buy the game as soon as it comes out!

I am greatful this game is being made but I wish artstyle for factions was more heroes 3 than heroes 5, like necropolis being sorta cartoony teal soul energy skeletons vs realistic sorta looking necropolis from heroes 3

[@oneoranota]

This is my first take on it, yes it looks good, but nothing comparable to the somehow realistic style of HoMM 2 and 3. Which is a miss for me, even though they seem to have learned their lessons on features players want or don't want.

[@Orome96]

This. The more grimy, realistic and just dirty artstyle of heroes 3 was one of the main reasons why i preferred it over 5.

[@Luanathel]

​@@oneoranota The Fantasy Artstyle of the 80's/early 90's. More realistic, grimdark fairytale like. I will always prefer it over that later, modern Fantasy Artstyle. It's just too cartoony and sometimes too Anime influenced for my taste.

[@oskargeryn243]

Three things regarding the battle example: 1. Undead don't bleed (maybe vampires do); 2. There is no sword cursor. In previous parts, one could just stand next to the enemy unit to simply block it without attacking. Hope devs will include this feature. 3. All creatures occupy only one hex. That's a bit weird since a dragon is bigger than a knight. Also in Heroes 2 and 3 it helped in blocking larger creatures from getting to one's archers. Anyway, I like what I see, and my hopes are high at the moment. Thank you for a great video :)

[@Zaknus1]

There are some harsh critisisms of the art style, which are fair. For me it will take some time getting used to, as I think it is a bit to over-the-top and mobile-like, but it is not a dealbreaker. As long as the gameplay is good and the atmosphere of the HoMM is retained I'm willing to get used to the artstyle. Now, what I am curious about, and a bit surprised, that no one asked already, why did all the units were able to move away from one another without getting any attacks of opportunity? Do they all have immunity to them, is this a hero's skill, is it a mechanic that is no longer present in the game, or have the devs simply not implemented it yet? As a side note, the fact that the game music is still not there gives me hope that Paul Romero will score the game :D

[@HeroesTakeTurns]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I'm curious myself whether the devs will keep the battle closer to 3 and 5 or implement new battle mechanics.

I wonder how the Hive emerged.

And what would their goal be outside of probably destroying everything that will comes to their way. Demonic Insects Sounds Great NGL! :D

[@cp1cupcake]

Yeah, I was wondering something similar because of dark elves as part of the dungeon faction. I know they were in MM8, but I don't remember seeing any lore about why they would be part of it, although it was a long time ago since I played it.

This looks amazing. I really like the art style of the units, reminds me of HOMM 5 a little. The art style of the cities is also great.

[@wyrdstone]

I'm excited for what Unfrozen has to offer, because they really nailed the look. I wish it was a bit more saturated, but overall, looks very nice. The one sticking point that could be an issue is the speed of the game. I'm guessing it's either set to normal or slow(er) for readability for the sake of the user. When it comes to playing the game over time, or just for preference, I do hope there's a toggle to speed up the hero movement, the speed at which units move and execute abilities in the combat arenas.

[@keimojeppe]

Hmm.. the overall world looks pretty good and i like how the map is like paper that burns as you explore it. Town screens felt a bit off but that might change after seeing how you navigate them. Shadows seemed to be doing some weird stuff too but maybe its just because of the presentation, looking forward to see town screen again with all the functions. In combat the ground looked pretty amazing but unit animations feel really off when moving. Lots of sliding which shouldnt happen in lords year of 2024 and they look like they are in different universe from ground art. Sounds so far was a bit 50-50 for me. The thing that got stuck with me was when griffin got hit sounded like puppy and that lighting spell sound was just straight ass. And afaik there is no any OST released yet, so hopefully thats not bad. Music was always huge part of homm's success imo. But love the systems, they picked the right grid and angle for combat. It really does look like it's very much homm3 which is nice! Overall feeling good-ish(?). Some of the graphical choises and sound work so far is looking like they could be a vibe killers. Hoping for the best.

[@nakenmil]

90% of this seems positive. I am tentatively excited. That being said, as you can see in the battle at around 8:33, the "new" era of very heavily overdesigned units is here to stay. The angel's wings and bow is just... I don't know, it's all angles and widgets and complete over the top. It is what it is, but I truly do miss the era of when unit designs were a bit more rooted in classical fantasy conventions or even historical examples, even if those examples weren't necessarily "realistic" themselves.

‼ One of beautiful sides of HMM3 is its simple graphic. The one shown here is... how do I say it.. Unnecessarily overdetailed, too busy. I don't give shit about how cool something looks in 3D. I need to take a glance at the screen and know what it is and in the video objects and unit models are huge, too complicated, hard to "read" on the screen. The items blends with the map, hard to see. Some troops blend with the battle field, hard to see. Here in advice for you: Do like in Starcraft Remastered where you can turn on different visuals for the game. to be able to switch between 3D and 2D. And here is another advice: do not invent the wheel for now. Your main task now - unite and lead what is left of the community of HMM players, not divide it by offering something some like and some don't. Take the current industry standard - HMM3 Horn of the Abyss, keep everything AS IS and make a remastered 3D capable version with AI generated improved faces, towns, models, etc. There bunch of beautiful examples online. And for the love of God, DO NOT make everything look cartoonish. This world of warcraft 2 design style is just horrible.‼

Nice video and production/presentation, Ana. I'm generally not too excited about the factions and art style. Heroes 3 was great, because it's factions "made sense" and were closely linked to common themes and mythology around the world. This gives me modern silly interpretations of common game tropes vibe... and combat seems kind of sissy. Otherwise the idea of the game is on the spot, but I kind of doubt it will be what we hope.

🙈 I was hindered. I made a short community post about it. Next video out soon 😅

Удачи вам с разработкой! Надеюсь что у вас всё получится, выглядит очень впечатляюще и оптимистично [:))]

Map looks ok, but towns….those look very cartoony, which gives mobile games vibe for whatever reason. It would better if designs of towns would be closer to HoMm3

[@nicholascotardo3795]

Agree. Even towns in 7looks better. I dont like the style, even the human town looks ugly in my opinion :/ and everything need to be lil darker. Necro and dungeon... Dungeon looks bad in my opinion:( is more a heaven than a dungeon

[@Itwas2007]

Why skeletons and overall undead have blood?

[@lessss507]

I'm really happy to see game at this state. One crucial thing about battles tile count on old HoMM 3 is 11by 15. That gives tactual maneuverability. In this video I see 9 by 11 tiles. Is this final battle tile count or there will bee multiple variations?

[@HeroesTakeTurns]

At this stage I am not sure whether the battle size is final or if the devs will still change it until Early Access 🤔

[@lessss507]

@@HeroesTakeTurns Thanks for response. There is mathematic behind battle arena size. In Heroes II there is only 5 unit stack but in Heroes 3 are 7 unit stacks. There for battle arena size is bigger.

[@randmuller1267]

I like them going back to hexagons for combat but i'd prefer a more from the top view, clearer outline of the hexes and of course the unit numbers. I hope the latter ones will just be an optional toggle for personal reference. Just feel like heroes 3 was a bit cleaner and you had a better oberview compared to the showcase combat here. A good overview and simplicity is important so we can focus on the fight strategy

[@HeroesTakeTurns]

@@randmuller1267 Thank you for your comment! Unit numbers, damage etc will certainly be displayed in a future game build I believe :)

[@Noah-hd2je]

The graphics are pretty but there's something about it that makes it a bit hard to look at. I'm not sure if it's the contrast levels or something. I'm probably just used to the old school look of HOMM3.

[@HeroesTakeTurns]

That's interesting, is it for you every aspect or just the adventure map, town screen etc? And yes, the look of heroes 3 is still something special :)

[@dmitrikalinin8478]

@@HeroesTakeTurns I think mostly for the battles and adventure map on the death ground. For example another game silence of the siren has same style of graphics. But it has different lighting or something so it is much easier and better for the eyes.

[@Noah-hd2je]

@@HeroesTakeTurns The town screens actually look really good. It's mostly the other screens that are an issue.

[@jdiogoforte]

I'm very excited for this. Too bad they couldn't get Paulo Romero to do the music.

[@HeroesTakeTurns]

I share your excitement! 🤩 I have planned a video about the great Paul Romero as well.

[@Aendolin]

@@HeroesTakeTurns I'm definitely looking forward to that!

[@Malarate]

Really nice video and i love the way combat works. The details of units and all the moves - really nice! I was sceptic and I am still a bit concerned but it’s getting better. I really hope they will make it all look more visable on the exploring map and emphasize the towns so they look more significant. And…just please make them correct this poor „my little pony” on TEMPLE Hero…

[@HeroesTakeTurns]

I'm glad you liked the presentation and thanks a lot for taking your time to watch my video!

[@danieljudas8411]

My only gripe is that the battle screen is ridiculously small. I mean there are just few hexes to move around in. Compare it to Heroes 3 battle field size, and Heroes 5 battle field size. It seriously makes strategic movement inexistent, apart from changing the order of units before the battle. Why make it so small ?

[@djal3xus]

I expected better sound effects, especially when casting spells. So far loogs good, I hope it will sound better. Also, the towns look good but also somewhat 3D in a style that looks different from the maps and overall game. I hope you manage to somehow stich this.

Thank you so much for your well wishes! 🙏

[@nicholascotardo3795]

So.. very happy about new game of the beloved franchise, and many other similar games are coming. Im ok with the graphic(wow style).. just.. as other comments said: necro and dungeon are a bit too light. Especially dungeon, really dont like it. Its supposed to be dark elves? Damn they are under the ground, need to be darker and definitly more evilsh. I really hope u guys could comunicate to the devs and give a look at that
