Might and Magic is going to be a separate brand (like Tom Clancy, Ghost Recon or Splinter cell), so any game from that universe will it be Clash of Heroes, Heroes Kingdoms or Dark Messiah is united under the name of Might and Magic!
5th race will be revealed before the game release
storyline will be showed in perspective of different factions, even though they are members of one family.
For example Necromancer Hero Anastasia killed her father. And her own brother executed her because of that treachery. But Anastasia was resurrected by her grandmother, who later taught Anastasia skills of Necromancy.
The problem was that Anastasia’s resurrection cost her loss of memory. So now she is trying to find out the reasons she killed her father, or maybe it was not really she who did it. Why her brother executed her. And what role she plays in this whole chains of events.
Campaigns will be more like HoMM3 and HoMM4, as it won’t be “linear” like HoMM5.
Sure every campaign will be linked to other Faction storyline, as you are playing for relatives. For example while playing for Inferno you will be aware what is happening in Haven faction and vice-versa.
In Heroes 6 we focus more on role playing element, to be closer to present RPG’s,
We decided to give player ability to control hero development. Let’s say you chose Hero class (might or magic) with skill trees accordingly, you gained new level so you are getting experience points which you can use to develop certain skills. In HoMM5 you were limited by choice the game itself offered you, in Heroes6 you will have access to the whole skill-tree. Using experience points you can upgrade your Might skills – Abilities, or Magic skills – Spells. So for example having experience points you can learn logistics or fire ball spell or other abilities.
Every race (faction) has it’s own unique ability. And we decided to pay more attention to it. Now you can use them on the battlefield. It will have 4 levels, you will be able to gain levels with the help of specific scale, (like in Street Fighter or Soul Calibur). When you get enough rage, you can use the ability. Every faction has different conditions for this scale to level up. For example Necromancers can rise dead, but in order to do that they should “praise dead” which means kill several squads as soon as possible, you can sacrifice you own troops as well, to fill the scale faster, as you can rise them later on.
We cut rare resources from four to one. Which we called Dragon Blood Crystal . we had several reasons to do so, first of all we wanted to focus on strategy aspect, games which has a lot of resources (Settlers, Civilization or Sim City) are based on micromanagement and economics. We want to take the path of Starcraft2, which has just 2 resources. We did it because if you have few recourses, you will have to fight for them as they are essential.
Buildings in a town have changed as well. Now you can build unique buildings for each race . you will have to choose which one you prefer. For example one town will be economically strong as it has building which boost gold and recourse income, in the other one you can hire more troops, or cheaper cost of units, while in the 3d town you will have a building that gives you advantage directly on the battlefield.
Players will be able to see which direction the enemy has chosen, so it will give you ability to spy on each other.
After capturing enemy town You have a choice to convert the town to your own faction or leave it how it is
We decided not to have one time use scrolls, runes, potions which you can use during the battle, but we will have around 150 artefacts, and some of them unique sets (exacly 7 sets consists of 6 items-artefacts)
We will introduce some new features to battle, for example you will have to stand 3 round as the enemy army is way too strong, or kill particular enemy stack and etc.
Griffin Duchy is located in the North-East , and like in Europe those are the lands of Slavic nations. That’s why heroes have names like Anthon, Anastasia or Irina. We hope that the game will be popular in Russia!
Na ja wird schonnoch im Laufe des Tages nachgeholt ... hoffentlich !!
, viel zu viel um alles aufzuzählen, aber allein der Zyklop kann ungefähr 1000 Sachen wie z.B. weiterkämpfen auch nach dem Tod !!
