They're not poorly made, they completely suck straight up. Even Heroes 6 is a mess in the battlefield.
Heroes is the only game I know that not only doesn't go up graphics wise, it falls off hard.
Well, at least it puts a smile on my face and it will save me some money for not buying the game, if they don't work this out .

Now that you are on that, why don't you compare H5 beta with H7?

You can't because you support UbiCrap's games. You can't say that heroes VII's graphics in battlefield is not worse than even Heroes 3, nowadays the fans would expect gorgeous townscreens, gorgeous everything about graphics. I don't want 3D townscreens, but nor do I want a game that looks made in the past century in some areas.

I wouldn't bet on that.
These are by far the best battlefields ever created by Ubi.

The battlefield on this picture is actually much larger than it seems. I believe it is much wider (thus bigger?) than in previous games: Heroes 7
Also if you think that H7 battlefields are small why don't you count the squares?

Apparently some people think graphics from an alpha build are more important than gameplay

That's the point ... I hope that this time we will accept suggest of fans to improve and deploy a genuine strategic game. One over all is simultaneous turns, that I liked so much in Hmm5.
Graphic is secondary, and by the way is not bad in that screen (if we consider the game's status).

Firstly, sure, it's an alpha build, being an Ubi insider you know the exact version of the game.
Secondly, I don't think graphics to be over gameplay, but it is really clear that the cutscene before battlefield it's made in 2014 and the actual battlefield visuals are looking like they were made some 10 years ago.

After I took a look at your signature, I decided it's for our both best interest if I shut up and have a good laugh instead .

You best judge the visuals now, because once the next bugfest rolls out it will surely take highest priority.

This remids me of an old saying. "There is nothing less thankfull then a HoMaM fan."
Grapics are OK, and yes they are not "the top" but still better then H5 when it comes to resolutions and H6 when it comes to scale.
I just want a good working game, And sorry if you think that "top-noch" eye candi is more important

From those screenshots it looks like dimension of units in h7 are really small. But i would not call it ugly, just small.

It doesn't take a genius to realize Limbic is reusing a lot of stuff (just take a look at Haven creatures), obviously there will be graphics that are made several years ago...but still I don't think they are terrible like you do.

I don't think ugly is the right word to use, because it looks good - but I agree battlefield could take up a bit more of the screen, and creatures do look very small. I mean, the Djinn in the top of the second screenshot, it's practically impossible to make out what that is other than some blue blop.
But of course, all these years we had people complaining about H5 being "too cartoony" and now when they make H7 not cartoony people come complaining that the creatures are not clearly defined on the battlefield ...

First of all, the graphics of the battlefield seem fine to me. The lay-out and point-of-view however are something you can discuss about.
The biggest difference between the screenshots is the zoom level. The heroes V screens are a bit zoomed in, while the Heroes VII screens are completely zoomed out and can be zoomed in quite a bit without loosing view of the battlefield.
What I am intrigued about is that the siege battlefield is so long. This is really different from the previous instalments and will probably make ranged units quite powerful when defending against a siege.
