It is ultimately a niche product for a niche group of people who have been playing Jebus for past 25 years. It suceeds at that and needs to do little more.

>Now that the dust has settled The game not even out for a single month yet and it is in early access. The dust has not settled. Last time you have claimed that the "dust has settled" when it was just a a friggin' DEMO! Get your shit together.

I'm off the loop. Which faction at the moment is the strongest and which one is at the bottom? How would you rank them?

Am I retarded? I feel like the game is just waiting until you have a gigarape army and walking up to the enemy. I haven't played much or is the AI just borked? Surely there is more to this game.

SO! Is this a good game? Is it better than HOTA, which is no doubt the best game in the series. V is shit btw.

I wish the devs would add a faction reminiscence of Homm3's Fortress in the future. I'd really love that. Especial since lizardmen already live on Jadame so you have all the lore reason to make them a faction. The addition of Stronghold would also be great, but I think it's more probable we'll get it as faction so I'm rooting more for Fortress.

>was the PvP focused design a good choice? yes. three words: >single hero >tourneyi got balance thoughts, but they're just anecdotal. single hero and tourney though, those opinions are more than just anecdotal. it's brought me back to the homm formula. all the olden devs need to do now is: >more maps for best of 3 >add some best of 5 the real question is how did no one think of solo hero tourney before this? more and more of my pve games are on exodus because it's just fun. losing the first match and thinking the ai is hacking, only to win twice later is a crazy rush. winning the first, losing the second and feeling the game slipping away is just real.

The technical issues in the current Olden Era PvP multiplayer tournament is causing massive problems.Makes Olden Era look like a lolcow game, and its software developers look like frauds and vibe-coders.Not that the game developers are likely to care, they already bagged all the nostalgia-bux.

Anon06/09/26, 12:54No.2425282

So Schizo is the most overpowered, because Lekshav said so (highest skill female player in Olden Era, they have 7 S tier heroes, unbannable), followed by Necro (whose Vampires are the worst tier 7 unit, but luckily they live on through the Wraith girl power, and Skeleton Archers make Skeletons viable), followed by Temple/Groovy and Hive still last, yes?

>was the PvP focused design a good choice?>PvP Min maxing this stats with these units with that spell creates an unbeatable combo, solved by removing 1 max damage >Skirmish AI is literally retarded and 1 damage doesn't change anything since it never abused things in the same way.Why do people keep crying about "multiplayer balance"?

Since it looks like shit it doesn't matter. I cant make myself wanna play it again, its like fallout 4 where it became roblox. Only Heroes 4 look worse than olden era, but Im not even sure. That game was not made with homm in mind, maybe king bounty.

Should I buy the game at 25% off? The Cypriot-Russians gave the same 25% off discount a week before the Steam sale. Lame.What if I don't care about the campaigns but neither care about multiplayer? I just uninstalled Heroes 5.5 because of the subhuman "cyka you cannot play in windowed mode! we will freeze the mouse inside the window cyka" bug.

Which spell specialization heroes do you think are the best? I find the rewind time Necro one to be amazing, and the slow specialization seems very good as well. What else?

Anon07/06/26, 17:21No.2444557

New update dropped. Reworked Necromancy and nerfed Avatar and Battle Magic. Plus other more minor changes. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3105440/view/668369251018478585>The Necromancy interface has been significantly redesigned: additional information has been added to guard tooltips on the map and in the end-of-battle window. You can now switch between accumulating Necromantic Energy and turning creatures into Undead of the same tier directly in the battle results window. >The base chance to trigger a Lucky Hit per 1 point of Luck has been increased: 6% 8%. This chance is now twice the base trigger chance of the high Morale effect. >The Avatar can now survive strictly 3 hits, regardless of the skill level. also various other nerfs to the avatar >You can now raise enemy units into undead even if you did not have creatures of that exact tier in your army. In the combat results window, you can now cancel the summon decision and manually recycle fallen enemies into Necromantic Energy. >Base Necromantic Energy capacity for heroes increased: 1000/1250/1500 3000/4000/5000. (but note that raising costs are also a bit increased - less for low tier troops, more for high tier) >The elite class for Necromancers — "Chronomancer" — has been reworked. It now fully replenishes the hero's Necromantic Energy pool daily. Sounds ridiculousAlso various unit balancing changes. Dread Knights nerfed hard. Vampires slightly better. Hydras nerfed. We'll see how it plays, I'll try Necro first I think.

Anon07/07/26, 01:16No.2444970

It's taken me an embarrassing 7 hours of gameplay (And however much time in the demo) to finally learn the spell system. Was staring at the spell menu with drool rolling down my chin and a furrowed brow when I could only level spells up once and then it all clicked into place and I went "Ohhhhhhhhh". In my defense I've been playing mainly might heroes. MAINLY

Anon07/12/26, 06:17No.2448798

HOT TIP that everyone probably already knows and I'm just bumbling into, but it feels like you can kinda force a special class by going a certain route when leveling. Obviously you always take a skill for the subclass you want if it's offered, but in the early levels if one isn't offered then you'll almost 100% have raising whatever your hero's starting skill is. Do that because you want your skill spaces to maximize subclass skills. You should hit a subclass skill before completely outleveling your starting skill, and then you just keep chaining from that point. If a new subclass skill appears when you could level an existing one, always take the new one. Either I had a run of freakish bad luck before this and freakish good luck once I started or this seems to consistently get you subclasses. Of course you might not be leveling optimally since you're basing your skill choices on getting a subclass and not anything else but some of those subclasses do good shit

As a pve player only i have nothing to play anymore. Every game against AI is almost the same cause of the very simple AI. Fight against them around week 3-4 depending on your difficulty level, winning or losing this decides the map. Then rest is just months of grinding and clearing out the ai.

Are there any HoMM-likes that play more like King's Bounty? More focus on RPG elements, less focus on empire building. The early missions of both Songs of Conquest and Olden Era gave me hope before returning to the classic turn-based strategy gameplay.

Why are people complaining about pvp focus as if pvp is getting any focus, both PVP and PVE are getting shafted. PVP has been riddled by ridiculous bugs and OP items for so long that have not been fixed for months now and PVE is still a long way from nearing completion and the AI is dogshit.No one is happy, this us vs them shit is so cringey, try whining at the devs to actually do their job instead.
