Anyone else excited for this ? Heroes 3 succesion wars mod!
What is this? Heroes 3 without the fugly graphics and with Heroes 2 art style?
Why would I want to play it and not HoMM2 instead
>>319645967
Heroes 3 with heroes 2 graphics and gameplay.
>>319646110
Count me in.
>>319646021
Heroes 3 gameplay with heroes 2 graphics,also more everything. More items, more creatures, hero specialities and so on.
HoMM3 with HoMM2 graphics? I can dig, but HoMM3 graphics aren't particularly bad at all
Is there any ETA when the full version will be available?
>>319646176
>Heroes 3 gameplay with heroes 2 graphics
To be fair, the differences between games (aside from better quality control and UI) are not that great to justify a mod if it will just copy-paste all of the shit from HoMM2
>More items, more creatures, hero specialities and so on.
Might be good
>>319646264
Let's not beat around the bush, they look like people made out of modelling clay. It looks pretty bad and the art style of HoM&M2 is vastly superior.
>>319646110
I mean.
Alright.
But why would I bother? I could just play HoMM2 if I wanted to play HoMM2. And if I wanted 3 I'd play 3.
>>319646432
Best of both worlds.
The team making this is putting a lot of love into it. They're doing their best (and succeeding) at replicating the Heroes 2 aesthetic.
Heroes 2 was always my favorite, but I did like all the extra stuff 3 had. Heroes 2 with the same (more?) amount of content as 3 could be perfect.
>>319646307
christmas
>>319646331
differences are huge,also there are a lot of custome graphics. I would say between 10-20% the stuff you see is new(monsters,items,spells etc)
>>319646331
The HoMM2 sprites aged better, but I don't consider the HoMM3 ones awful, especially with the HD mod
>>319646110
>and gameplay
Then it's not really Heroes III, is it? It's just a Heroes II mod.
>>319645186
Link to project?
>>319646889
The artifact system is like Heroes III and not Heroes II at least.
It also has some new monsters that weren't in either Heroes game but use Heroes II artstyle.
>>319646408
+1 Heroes 2 had amazing art style
>>319647016

What makes HoMM3 so good I'm still playing skirmishes after 15 years?
>>319646876
>christmas
oh god i can't wait to waste hours in hotseat with my friend.
>mfw HoMM 2 Titans
They just continued to shit on them and never stopped ever since 4
>>319647583
Titan's arent a bad unit.
>>319647702
4 and onwards they are nothing compared to what they were in 2 and 3
For those who never played heroes 2, can you tell the difference between the old and new units ?
>>319647846
Doubt there are people that didn't play it ITT.
HoMM (especially 2) is quite niche series here on /v/, hell there are only 6 unique IP's watching this thread at the moment.
That said I think those units look pretty good. Can you post short brief or link what new units are coming?
Are they neutral or have a new city attached to them?
>>319647846
black spearman guy looks a little out of place in the cranium
also that's racist
>>319647751
I thought everything post 3 was ignored.
>>319649278
only played the first 3. I remember playing the 4. when it came out and I was dissapointed...
We need a mod that incorporates the best OST of 4 and 2 and mix it with 3.
>>319647846
The black knight.the peasant and the black guy.
Thinking about reinstalling homm5. Convince me why I shouldn't. Aside from homm x is better
>>319647846
Never played it and I cant really see the differences. The black guy? The frog seems a bit too realistic maybe.
>>319649983
Actually know I think of it. Definitely the frog if anything
>>319649826
Damn.
One is wrong (peasant), you got two right and missed the frog and anubis
>>319649826
If you want a 'newgen' HoMM then at least play 4, it's better than 5-6-7 3 times combined.
>>319650184
Would never have picked Anubis.
Frog cause like that poster said it looks a little too realistic
Black knight cause its shield looks strange/its just not drawn as well
Black guy seems to lack detail/generic
>>319650520
Well I've played homm 3 enough to be sick of it. Mainly didn't like homm5 the first time cause of it's wow like art style and the adventure map. Game felt sort if generic
>>319645186
I never understood why people like heroes better instead of AoW.
>>319650932
Because slavs.
>>319650867
What killed 5 for me (gameplay wise, lore is just yawn fest ever since Ubisoft took over) is those god awful waiting times for AI to take turn.
Maybe I should try installing it again. Perhaps SSD will finally make it better.
>>319650932
age of wonders you mean ? what game should I try first?
>>319651098
Shadow Magic is the best one. I strongly recommend it.
>>319651068
Maybe I only liked home 3 cause of nostalgia.
Aow3 is pretty fun
>>319650932
AoW has some seriously questionable gameplay decisions though.
>units take a gazillion turns to build
>get rekt like tissue paper without intensive micro and tile-counting
It's still good, but it lacks the overall robustness of Heroes' gameplay.
>>319650932
AoW has roots in Civ and that makes it slow, also I'm not all that up for micro.
Will they try to convert HoMM3 cities to 2? I want to see Fortress in the 2 artstyle.
>>319651597
They're coming up with original towns. Swamp town is a lot like Fortress it seems but different. Then there's a wholly original desert town and an Inferno stand-in is planned at some point in the future. Because that's what Russians do, they come up with Heroes factions.
>>319651289
Would have been better to have instant hire units and have them replenish after however many days.
Making reinforcements gotta wait fucking ages for them to build and get them over to the frontlines
>>319645186
>this build

What in the fuck
i don't get it.
Heroes 3 looks better in every way. though i'll admit the black dragon in that mod of yours looks really good.
Is there any fucking way to play HoMM3 with the HD mod at a high resolution(aka 1080p+) and NOT have half the screen a blackbox? Can't I fucking fullscreen the entire content area? What gives.
>>319652258
FUCK OFF UBISHILL
>>319652351
As someone who loves both I have no idea why we have couple of people shitting on 3 looks.
>>319652421
i actually don't play the HD, the high res patch is better.
and bruh, this is a heroes discussion, don't be the mentally retarded 13 y/o that seems to be the norm nowdays on 4chan.
>>319647846
Black Knight straight outta Might&Magic VI, froggie, spearman. The Varn Defender, too?
>>319652450
Because because game sprites made out of 3D models age like fine milk and look worse than drawn art?
>>319652726
well yeah, but Heroes2 is just so cartoony, i mean come on..
>play wizard cause best town
>everything going fine
>build cloud castle
>upgrade too expensive
>oh well, gonna use giants and just upgrade later
>finally collects tons of gems
>try to upgrade 20 giants to Titans
>nope, you need 170000 gold and 250 gems for that
>actually buying 1 titan directly costs 5k gold 2 gems, giants cost 2k gold 1 gem
>upgrading giants to Titans is for some reason 10 times more expensive than buying them directly
>>319652817
So..?
>>319652817
I think it fits. It looks like something straight out of a fairy tale.
>>319652817
Yeah, you are the kinda guy the vomitous "realistic" H3 artstyle was aimed at. It worked, of course, sales-wise.
>>319652719
There were no black knights with shields in M&M VI though
>>319652915
it kills muh atmosphere.
>>319647846
this anubis like shit, black spear man, black knight and frog are not original I believe
>>319653098
Nigga did you even play the games? They're somewhat goofy.
>>319653079
or uh.. you know, modernity.
>>319652896
>playing Tower
>ever
Only play Tower if you're playing on normal, because you're not gonna get neither enough money nor resources to buy your overexpensive units and buildings.
>>319653183
only since 1997.
but i guess there's no point in voicing my opinion since ya'll just circle jerking anyway.
so yeah, great mod.

STEP ASIDE FOOLS, BEST FACTION POWERHOUSING THROUGH.
>>319652258
Tere are just some people that want to play with HoMM 2 Units but in quality of HoMM 3
>>319653319
>only since 1997
nigga, M&M lore from the very beginning involved the idea that your typical fantasy knights and sorcerers and robbers are in a grand pursuit against an intergalactic evildoer called Sheltem who keeps fucking off away in interdimensional portals and spaceships, and where enemies you fought were shit like actual robots (some of whom would eradicate [which means kill harder than death] your party members on sight) on one hand and spooky, crying candles, literal moose rats and gnome vampires.
M&M3 has an entire town where ghouls and ninjas are in tandem for some reason.
M&M universe is goofy as shit. A cartoon could have been easily made and no one would blink an eye.
>>319653319
>>319653541
Also, HOMM3's Inferno are actually Kreegans who are actually space aliens that just happen to own the hell motif.
It didn't start with the energy blasters you find in M&M6 onwards.
>>319653541
>ywn have a Might & Magic cartoon
Well done, you made me mourn something I didn't know I wanted so badly.
>>319653497
Underrated town.
I fucking love Mana Wortex.
>>319645186
Does it work with high res patch?
>>319653929
>underrated
>in a game with Fortress in it
>implying people don't love Minos and Dragons
>>319654049
From what I've seen most people get wet for Castle, Necro, Conflux and Rampart here and there, Dungeon gets a lot less mention.
>>319653712
Are you aware that there's a Wizardry anime? Go watch that.
>>319645186
I don't really see the point in it but neat I suppose.
I miss the more renaissance fair type medieval style we had in the 90s with bright colors and outfits that look like they came from a school play.
Now everything is just mud. leather and rape.
>>319653497
Poor Warlock town. First it gets to go underground, then it gets infested by pirates, then by gay purple elves, then by Kingdom Hearts rejects.
>>319653541
While you are right, typical fantasy is how it presented itself for the major part. Sci-fi only came to spotlight at/near the end of the games.
>>319654151
Rampart my favourite. Real comfy. Hate the manlets though. So fucking slow.
Also stronghold town screen music was the best.
>>319655017
I really don't like Stronghold on maps with a small amount of players/towns, that Lv3 mage guild limit is a real drawback considering what awesome shit lv4 mage guilds can have.

>>319655180
just conquer a pandora's box or a more magic-oriented town and reap the benefits from there. easy.
>>319647846
if heroes 2 is so cartoony, why is it the only installment which succeeded in making its black dragons look awesome
>>319654531
>gay purple elves
Excuse yourself, those elf babes crushed my puberty back in the day.

Not many game soundtracks elicit as many feels as the Heroes II one for me.
>>319645186
Why would anyone play this ancient game when you have Heroes VI and VII?
>>319658498
>he thinks Ubisoft didn't rape the franchise and that anything after V is worth playing
V is the best HoMM, fight me nigga.
>>319645186
holy shit finally good graphics
>>319658936
>that necromancer campaign
Fighting the undead is even more fun if you can get more than just skellies.
