Let's hope Heroes 6 will be good game for multiplayer, from what i read all look good, except UBI don't care at all of his Heroes 5 game server, many players lost all ranking points because server error, every game on server now end up with server error, no points win or loose from such games... Let's just hope they don't think only about single player aspect of game. If they remove lan network for multiplayer like many games do this days, we all will be doomed to play on laggy UBI server ...

Infinitus, you think that removing half the resources is good??? It is utter crap - those resources are there from heroes 1.

Sound like bad idea at first look, but ho know maybe will be for the better ... What i like no more random skills and spells. This compensate big time missing resources

Actually thats a very bad idea but fortunately thats the only bad idea in the game so far i think- they put in some very good ideas too so i hope overall the game will be awesome and the effect of the very very stupid idea of reducing to 4 resources will be less felt overall in the game.
Also i'm still hoping that they will change the 4 resources decision because of community pressure - i hear alot of people thinking that is the worst decision up to now.

Hmmm, I think I may actually try and get into competitive Heroes with VI; I have the time now and it seems like it'd be a lot of fun.
I do agree that the 4 resources thing could end quite poorly, but who knows, maybe it'll work out. Best thing to do would probably be to start a thread on the official forums if you really want to call for a reversal.

I might be back too
Btw, there were never really a town where you needed more than 2 type of rare resource apart from guilds and some unique buildings, so that's not that much of a big deal IMO.

I'm more concerned with the effect on town variety rather than the effect within the town itself, but it really isn't a huge detail, as you said.
I also do like that you can grab all the mines in an area by holding a certain point, that should help to prevent town camping and such.

Obviously many disagree this, but what conserns me the most is the elimination of randomness when it comes to skills. To me the Skillwheel was maybe the most facinating factor of H5, and to get a preset tree like in WoW etc. sounds terrible to me, as i have to be my own "randomist".
Its back to the old randomness vs whatever discussion i guess, but well. This is a great consern for me when it comes to my own future addictiveness.

The most atractive game is the roulette, and this represents the essence of randomness.
If they plan to take it out, will not be heroes anymore. We have chess already, honestly don't need another one.

In my opinion, they need to cut back on the randomness in some elements but leave it in others.
For example, the Sylvan racial ability is the perfect example of this; it can swing a battle dramatically due to massive critting but is totally random and luck-based, thus making it very frustrating both for the user when it fails and for the enemy when it succeeds repeatedly.
I'm personally fine with the "directed randomness" that III had for skills as a bare minimum; they can make it more directed, but I don't think you should be able to outright pick your hero skills as people will go for the 2-3 best every time. Semi-random skills forces you to adapt your strategy while still offering you some say in the matter.
I also don't like no random spells; again, I feel that people will simply pick the best spells every time. Imagine HoMM III if you were guaranteed access to DD, Town Portal, and Fly; no other spells would ever be used because everyone would pick those 3 100% of the time.
To sum up, random elements are good and useful when they encourage diverse gameplay and prevent overpowered abilities or combos from being consistently abused. They are not good when they constitute an entire mechanic and replace strategy altogether.

Paradox is, all of you ho love randomness of Heroes 5 don't play this game anymore, i don't like randomness but still active

I don't like roulette, but sure nice filing then - " thanks god you finally give me resurrection spell after i build 3 magic guild to get it" I prefer to take it by myself not by chance ...

Question of balance, if game is balanced no best spell anymore, all equal, same to skill ... Only mater of taste and freedom to choose.
And from practice some facts. Vex leave Heroes 5 because of luck, morale randomness. Camoes leave because of randomness. And this from after game comments :
- i lost because i get all the bad runes
- i lost because i not get frenzy
- i lost because i not get medic tent in time
- i lost because i not get log with good chances to get.
And this list can be continued to infinite, just read game reports from any tourney ... I glad developer of Heroes 6 want to put more strategy in this game, hope in Heroes 6 will be less loose games because of chance factor.

I lost of reasons above and others, many time; I even made a statistic form to see lucky factor. But, as you see I am still playing.
Nothing copares with a fresh new game in homm5, if ure playing for fun (Ive had games with 0 chances to win-but 100% chances to learn/understand some facts etc)-Thats homm5, again and its a good game.
Now hopping 6 will be with all resourses and a nice view inside castle, excepting this all seems promising

no doubt, there will be a lot of imbalance issues in multi learned over the first few months of the release, but that is how things are on any new game. It also makes discovering all the tricks and strategies fun for the first 6 months. Whatever the case, I'll be back to playing TOH hardcore for rankings.
