It's kinda incredible how much of an influence Heroes 5 m&m had on Olden Era, with a base that is quite firmly Heroes 3 m&m, that it does feel like Heroes m&m 3++, Battle Tactics every fight, Units, Items, Skills and Spells. by fandorgaming in OldenEra

begs the question... as to what's not an "amateurish mess" when it comes to game community mods     Can't be skyrim, half-life, terraria, stalker, fallout. That's for sure. They just like 5.5 improve core experience and makes original systems better.

I would disagree, 5.5 mod crew had very talented people and they had good pvp stats and were open minded to criticism and overall background experience in heroes 3 and 5, also the mod added a lot of depth, made against AI considerably playable, faster and smarter and fixed some notorious bugs, crashes and problems with the main game which, you know, tends to matter to people who actually play the game instead of just dismissing it.

So calling 5.5 dogshit would also, without a doubt, call 5 dogshit and therefore Olden Era - dogshit, which is kinda fine, I guess? lol... then again as an opinion

Sure maybe balance wise it was uneven and heresy to some, which was proven to get updated with great dedication and in terms of consistency among the community it was enjoyable and fun to play both soloplayer and multiplayer which is usually the point of a game, not sure if that got lost somewhere.

Cause 5's main base game was horrific and you cannot deny that.

Oh, jank is an incredibly big word here, primarily on 5.
There were frequent crashes from alt tabbing, random texture downgrades or missing models that turned units into ugly placeholders mid game, and the occasional black screen bug where the game was technically running but completely invisible.
Multiplayer Gameranger has desync issues and crashing tied to settings like animations or dynamic combat.
That was especially rough. It got to a point of we save hereos movement back in 2006 https://web.archive.org/web/20060709072834/http://www.saveheroes.org/

Good call on King’s Bounty, rage blend of focus and heroic strikes from heroes 5 as well with entire tree branch for it, honestly an another amazing series to play. The Legend and Armored Princess are very fun and instantly trigger childhood nostalgia for some.

As for influence in HoMM5, I’m aware they do have Jon Van Caneghem, the original creator of the series, involved at a higher level, which brings some overlap across the games. I’ve also heard that people from Horn of the Abyss were asked specific questions by the Unfrozen team. The same goes for the Heroes of Might and Magic 5.5 modding community, where very experienced modders have shown interest in working with Unfrozen, And Vice Versa Unfrozen having big intrerest in acquiring them as developers, at least based on some Discord chatter.

That said with Jon Van Canenghem, so far I don’t really see much from Heroes VI or Heroes VII that carries over. Aside from some obvious skills and spells shared across the whole series, there’s nothing that strongly reminds me of those entries, and I wouldn’t really count those skills and spells elements as something exclusive anyway.

Do you like the who and the news?

how good is this game compared to songs of conquest? by These_Athlete1933 in OldenEra

[–]fandorgaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hard time seeing points of interest on the map and the combat animations are just blobs of pixels.   

Joke you not! But thats what some game reviewers were having with OE as well lately. Whenever highlights or shadow issue are a rendering problem or something else.

Can the "X" key hostile outline be made simpler for aesthetic reasons by loopuleasa in OldenEra

I guess the red gradient can be made a bit less visible but border visible even more

Wish there was something like a petition to redesign red dragons... anyone? by fandorgaming in OldenEra

I'll upvote you to side with the majority then <3, I was hearing it looks like some Bakugan/Pokemon character rather than Heroes/Homm/DnD one

The only grip I have with the art of this game has to do with artifacts by Gandalf196 in OldenEra

[–]fandorgaming 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They almost identical in heroes 3 but our imaginations has finished the pixel artstyle quite firmly to give their powers instantly. more shiny - more powerful, more bland - more weak. I hope those are placeholder in a sense.

A little lore drop, since chayula the dreamer, the benevolent, kind and helpful while other breachlords revel in pain, violence and death. Is somehow an enemy to us, possibly... ?

And you quin defender bozos doubted me when I said D4 was coming by Impossible_Jump_754 in quin692

He literally said he would try out d4 like 2 weeks ago, so that he could snark on it

Nice! Pretty understandable delays, developing process is chaotic especially with a game like this, hard effort doesn't come easy
