Do notice the last edit date of the first post: 16th of August 2003. You will need to go through all topics with a last posting date beyond that point and decide whether or not they contain good discussions and ideas, and then classify them within the given topics in the initial post. (You are also required to follow the format already used above so link shows the way they should. Use quote reply button to see this format.)

Seeing that I think you will need to spend at least 5 hours for a decent update of the first post I'll award you with at least 1 QP for this.

If you can impress me with a very good selection of threads to include you will get more than this.

After reading around the Altar I noticed a post made by Gerdash that said the more and more we post, the more we realize it always comes back to adding a new dimension to Homm.

I thought I would make a list of the current ideas with links to the threads and you could voice your opinions as well explaining what we would like to see the most. This could be helpful and maybe used for communicating with UbiSoft.

Asymmetry in Town Structure:

End the slave-like devotion to town symmetry!

Other Notibles: N/A (The thread is still young)

I like this idea. However difficult to design this leads to a much more interesting game imo. Take for example Blizzard. I'd say they have this mastered to an art. Not only did they do a wonderful job with Starcraft with asymmetry, but also in Warcraft 3. The great part about asymmetry is that when you play each town it doesn't follow the same basic strategy. Currently in Homm3, there are a few differences in how maps are played and how battles are carried out, however the differences are minor.

Interactive Landscape:

Heroes V: Interactive Landscape

Author: The_Hydra
Other notibles: Dragon_Slayer

This idea is pretty good. I like the idea of making the terrain have greater affects on the game. I also like how it can make the towns even more unique by giving advantages and disadvantage when on certain terrains. However I would like to see spells also associated with the different terrain types. For example, there could be a spell that takes away the penalties for rough terrain, etc.

Town Output:

Towns Have Building Points

Author: RedSoxFan3
Other Notibles: Sir_Stiven, Gerdash, Djive, Celfius

I will try not to be bias to this idea, however I feel it is a very open-ended concept. The system can be put together in numerous ways and can serve a large range of purposes. The basic idea is that a town isn't going to build a castle in one day and it can do more than build a tavern in one day. There are several uses or applications that are brought up as well as some opposition from Sir_Stiven who feels that it could take away from the good parts of the game.

Army Upkeep:

I know this has been mentioned in several threads however I cannot find a thread devoted to just this idea. This would be very easy to impliment into a game. The basic idea is that you have to pay your army in order to keep it. This would not only prevent huge armies of like 30 Archangels, but it would also keep magic heroes from eventually becoming far inferior to the good might heroes as the game progresses, which is a recurring symptom of Homm3.

Reputation for Heroes:

Heroes and Reputation

Author: Djive

Other Notibles: N/A (Thread is to short so far)

The idea is that if you have a hero that does specific tasks than the hero can attract creatures, gain new abilities, and aquire personal side-kicks (I'd prefer to call them henchman)
