Ce se stie pana acum:

Features

• Beta Test: scheduled for this Summer, with a limited number of seats. The game has been playable for several months already;
• Campaigns: six single-player campaigns will deliver a unique storyline, with faction switching and linked stories;
• Combat: expect a hex grid, stacks, dragons, upgrades and other basic concepts from the previous games. Combat is tactical, with some real-time elements included, such as a time-limit;
• Creatures: considering upgrades and addons, the number of creatures will exceed the one from Heroes III. Many creatures will have spells of their own, such as angels that can perform healing;
• Demo: there will be one someday, featuring the two towns shown in the screenshots (life and, presumably, demons);
• Diplomacy: not a major part of the game, but creating alliances during missions will be possible;
• Editor: will be available;
• Expansion: already planned;
• Graphics: the game will use a 3D engine;
• Genre: the game will lean more towards strategy than RPG;
• Heroes: will not participate in combat as in Heroes IV, but will cast spells. All heroes from the previous games are gone;
• Multiplayer: the focus is on Internet play, but Hotseat and LAN will be included as well. Five different multiplayer modes will be available;
• Music: created by Rob King;
• Simultaneous Turns: considered, but only as a mean to speed up the early parts of the game;
• System Requirements: will remain low, and offer some scalability -- the rumor about high system requirements was denied;
• Storyline: "The demons kill the recently crowned king of the humans, Nicolai, whose wife Isabel seeks revenge. To defeat the demons, she makes an alliance with the undead followers of the necropolis -- a fatal decision..." Dragons will play a major role in the game.
• Towns: there are six of them, including Humans, Demons and Undead, and elves and orcs will be in the game. Note that demons and the undead form separated factions again, and that the new factions have nothing to do with those of Heroes IV. Towns will feel more alive than before;
• World: the events of the new game take place in a brand new world.
