HOMM7

I know technically its now called heroes VII, but im an old school player.

Anyway, i noticed a while ago that there is a new HOMM. They now have some gameplay footage:

IMO it actually looks quite decent. Certainly better than heroes VII, which i didnt think was that bad once they had patched and upgraded it. It seems that they have gone back to multiple resources, they have a city screen, and in general the game looks pretty good. Thoughts?

Wow, I love the graphics. And I love HOMM, so I might have to buy this.

Yes the graphics are nice. Im interested to see how the levelling system will work. I hope they get away from the tree idea and instead go in for either a random choice or something else. I didnt really like the tree system.

I know many people didnt like the levelling system in 5, but i actually think it was the best of the series, if a bit unbalanced. Everyone loves HOMM 3, but IMO the skills were too imbalanced with some (eagle eye, learning etc) totally useless, whilst others (earth magic, logistics) were too good.

I would also like them to drop the out of action story elements. IMO if you are going to have story, you need to go the whole hog and have the action in game. Endless hours of dialogue do not serve the game well IMO.

I liked the story in Heroes VI, and the skills were fairly balanced. My main issue was that with many campaign missions, if you messed up more than once you might as well start over, as the difficulty ramped up very quickly.

Glad the series continues but man, I loaded 6 and played it for 15 mins. So many games, so little time! Won't be getting this for a while.
