Второй день я чувствую животный ужас, когда читаю об этой игре.

Волк принес на хвосте заметку увиденную на ХВ.
Подумал, что здесь она тоже будет к месту.
Кстати, а началось всё с этого сообщения, которое появилось на HC в этой теме 9-го апреля появился некий постмортем якобы их сотрудника. Но потом исчез (видимо автор удалил ?). Перепост вчера также удалили.:

Hi Guys. Several months have passed since the release of Heroes 6, and because there are so many questions from you regarding BH which UBI seemingly ignores, I feel it's time that I give you some information.

I worked for Black Hole during the whole H6 development. For us, it was a dream project as we were real fans of the Heroes series, having played it since the original King's Bounty on Commodore 64. And I can tell you it was the UBI producers who didn't keep their deadlines, and that was what led to a total failure of the whole development. Back in 2008, during the contract negotiation process, UBI business decision makers didn't want to hear about making it into the contract that in case of any UBI delays there would be any penalty for UBI. This was a stupid decision of a business development boss (she said "UBI would never be late with any deliverables".... HAHAHA). And that led to an awkward situation where the whole development got snowed up... but the UBI producers kept telling Black Hole that "no worries, guys, there would be more time and budget, just do what we say". It was then that one faction, Academy had been removed from the content list, as well as many other things. And then, at half of the development, Romain suddenly quit, Erwan was removed from the project - he was "elevated" to the position of Might and Magic Brand Director, which meant his direct involvement in the development was over -, and BH was left there with the blame. Just an example, the final story script - which was UBI responsibility - was delivered to BH after 27 months... while originally there was 24 months for the whole development. No comment.

As for BH commitment, BH used up all its 6 months reserves just to be able to finish the project... this was more than 1 million Euros!!! And they (we) did this knowing it would never be payed back, as royalty would only be paid after 2M Heroes sold at full price. We all knew 2M copies would never be sold (neither at full price nor at reduced price), still we wanted to finish the project. During the last 10 months, our full team worked 24/7, without any chance for compensation... and because of this, we didn't have any resources to find other projects and make sure BH would survive after the release of Heroes 6. In the meantime, our new UBI producers kept telling that "the BH team is not working during the nights and weekends, and is not committed to the project at all...". I can only say, just ask any of the BH team members of their commitment...

As for the many bugs: Heroes 6 is a gigantic project, with 1.5-2 million lines in the source code. This is bigger than most RPGs. Such a project can only be finished with good quality if there are several years and a huge budget (i.e. Blizzard games), or if there is a strict design lock date after 7-9 months of the start of development... in case of Heroes, the UBI guys were adding new ideas and were changing existing features during the whole development, even at the last months, so it was simply impossible to make a stable game for release. Just see what they are now doing with patch 1.3 (BH is not involved in that at all btw.). They cannot release a simple patch with a few smaller fixes in time, they are already in a 2-3 weeks delay. This is because the code is extremely complex, and UBI does not have the team to overview it and make it work in time, even if the Limbic guys are really great (and no, they are not involved in the Heroes development from the project start, they joined like 20 months later).

Some examples of what BH added to the game at their own cost, just to make the game better:
- Town screen (we hate the current version, but it is still better then the "let's make a screen shot from the adventure map 3D town and use it as a town screen" that UBI wanted - we could have made a much better one, but didn't have money and time).
- Additional ingame cutscenes (I know cutscenes are not great, but again, we received the story after 27 months... we only had a couple months to make the cutscenes from scratch, and a very limited budget - and I think that the overall visual quality of the game proves to anyone that we could have made really great cutscenes if we had had the time and budget).
- 300 unique Combat Maps (there were 20 in the contract)
- 3D animated Main Menu (UBI wanted a simple still image)
- Additional NPCs
- Campaign Overview Map (Campaign Window)
- and many more........

And what were the UBI decisions:
- Less resources
- No fullscreen town screens
- Only five factions (as a consequence of the continuous delays of UBI deliverables)
- Creature pool
- and many more such "great" changes.........

This project cost Black Hole its existence... while UBI is making profit on Heroes 6.

And just some more thoughts: UBI EMEA were working with four 3rd party developers during the Heroes development:
- Capibara - They made the really good (and financially successful) Clash of Heroes. The are not working with UBI anymore.
- Eugene Systems - They made R.U.S.E. They are not working with UBI anymore.
- Black Hole - They made Heroes 6. They are not working with UBI anymore.
- Techland - They made a 47% game for UBI (Call of Juarez: The Cartel - www.metacritic.com/game/pc/call-of-juarez-the-cartel)- They are still working with UBI EMEA on a big project.
We heard the UBI guys blame those developers (and Nival) many times... I guess BH was blamed the same way to those developers.

It is always the developer who is responsible...

Just some food for thought.... Thanks guys for reading.

Я так понимаю, что из текста и комментариев к нему следует, что необходимо продолжать играть в третьих героев.

Патч 1.3 вышел.

static2.cdn.ubi.com/patches/HOMM6/hmm6_1.3_rus.exe

Black Hole больше не работает над игрой. Вместо них теперь

Limbic Entertainment, from Germany

Полный текст сообщения:

We would like to take this opportunity to confirm that Black Hole is no longer working on Heroes VI, and I am very happy to introduce you to the studio we are now collaborating with: Limbic Entertainment, from Germany. You might have noticed this name from the credits of Heroes VI: Limbic worked with Black Hole during the final stages of Heroes VI’s development. Our commitment to improve and enrich the game remains unaltered, and Limbic has joined us to support the post-launch of Heroes VI. Limbic’s team are experts on the Heroes’ system, so it's only a matter of getting up to speed on a different portion of the project.

16 мая вышел очередной патч.

http://static2.cdn.ubi.com/patches/HOMM6/hmm6_1.4_rus.exe

Полезного пока мало. Патчем 1.5 собираются серьёзно поправить баланс. Ждём. Об экранах городов пока ничего не слышно. Хочется верить, что о них не забыли.

- Ох-хохо, - вздохнул гнолл, - что-то я совсем забросил похождения в этих Землях.... А ведь немного осталось до конца приключений. Надо поднажать, как только времечко свободное появится. А то ведь еще турнир хотел со спец-призами организовать...

Сэр loom, 25.05.2012 07:24
А то ведь еще турнир хотел со спец-призами организовать...

Сэр loom было бы неплохо турнир сыграть, а то в 6-х землях совсем тишина...

12 июля Ubisoft выпустит первое дополнение к Might & Magic: Heroes 6 под названием Pirates of the Savage Sea.

Героем новой кампании, прохождение которой займет 10 часов, станет хорошо известный ветеранам Heroes Крэг Хэк. Пиратский совет нанял знаменитого варвара, чтобы расследовать загадочные исчезновения кораблей. В аддоне появятся новое династическое оружие и набор артефактов.

Цена Pirates of the Savage Sea составит 9,99 евро. Одновременно с выходом дополнения разработчики опубликуют патч 1.5, который добавит в игру анимированные экраны замков, исправит баланс и сделает онлайновые сохранения совместимыми с офлайновыми.

Примечательно, что развитием и поддержкой Heroes 6 теперь занимается не венгерская Black Hole Entertainment, а немецкая Limbic Entertainment, недавно выпустившая онлайновую стратегию Nexus Conflict.

Скрины городов


.

Волк, узрел где-то еще одно полотно с городом Альянса Света.
Который ему не очень понравился.
Впрочем, дополнение он ждет с огромным интересом, и с удовольствием прошвырнется по новым морям в новой кампании. В конце концов, море это ж море, как пройти мимо.
- У-ууура, товарищи! - не смог совладать с нахлынувшими эмоциями волк.
Поэтому потом быстренько пришлось тикать, пока за нарушение спокойствия Портала, не погнали поганой метлой.

Вышел патч 1.5, который добавляет экраны городов и правит баланс игры:

http://static2.cdn.ubi.com/patches/HOMM6/hmm6_1.5_rus.exe

Более того, гнолл узнал, что в этом патче спрятано и новая кампания, которая активируется всего за 120 рублей!
В общем, практически все круто, если не считать того, что сейвы старые перестали работать, игра крашится и вылетает на рабочий стол!

Зато миссию можно стартануть заново (я сейчас Инферно-2 переигрывать буду), при этом прогресс не теряется. Экраны городов порадовали. Теперь можно кликать прямо на постройке, чтобы нанять существ. В окне найма отображается арт сущетства и прирост, что тоже круто.

Патч 1.5.1, который исправляет проблему совместимости сейвов версии 1.4 с версией 1.5, можно скачать по следующей ссылке:
http://static2.cdn.ubi.com/patches/HOMM6/hmm6_1.5b_rus.exe

Патч 1.5.2: http://static2.cdn.ubi.com/patches/HOMM6/hmm6_1.5.2_rus.exe

Вышел патч 1.7. Копируем пока его не удалили http://static2.cdn.ubi.com/patches/HOMM6/hmm6_1.7_rus.exe

Последний был 1.5.2, почему теперь 1.7 - неизвестно.

А зачем его копировать?
У меня игра автоматом обновляется до последнее версии.
Юплай-бука версия, правда, а не Стим.
А описание патча есть?

27 сентября выйдет новое дополнение, про лича Сандро - хороший подарок мне на день рождения


А 1.7. потому, что 1.6. они прошляпили, и что-то не пошло и толи не выпустили его, толи решили доработать

Я, например, уже давно свою снёс, так и не пройдя до конца. Смотрю, теперь, вроде, баг с вампирами поправили. Будет желание играть снова, установлю сразу, а не буду дожидаться, пока скачаются все патчи.

Тьфу-тьфу, пока все работает...

Следующей весной пошаговая стратегия Might & Magic: Heroes 6 обзаведется еще одним дополнением. Пока еще безымянный аддон (пресс-релиз именует его по-простецки: «Standalone Expansion») позволит сыграть за темных эльфов в новой полноценной кампании.

По сюжету игры, темные эльфы покинули родные леса Иролана, заключили союз с таинственными Безликими и, стараясь избежать полного уничтожения, подались в партизаны. Теперь это — нация бесшумных убийц. Знатоки серии также встретят знакомого героя — Раилага из Heroes 5, мастера интриг, когда-то связанного с демонами.

Для установки и запуска аддона оригинальная Heroes 6 не потребуется.

Сэр Draniki давненько вас не было видно за этим столиком, магистр. С возвращением)

Кстати на данный момент имеем два DLC, это
Пираты Дикого Моря
и
Пляска Смерти.
Также говорят, что скоро выйдет патч 1.8. (на данный момент версия 1.7.1.)

Новый аддон жду

Вышел патч 1.8 с самым длинным списком исправлений:

Изменений в нем куча, но надеюсь он мне не запорет сейвы ТБ, которые люди мне слали. Надо было вчера проверить присланные...

Есть правда мысля после ТБ-6, открыть ТТГ, первичный критерий очки.
Ничего вроде не теряем, но вот интересно на очёчки попроходить карту...

… антирестно
… а хоть кто-то енту самую зависимость изучал?

Собственно помимо ТТГ, у нас с Царем возникла мысля провести турнир в рамках "Прочие" с названием....

Нет предела беспределу.

А то есть:
1. Берем карту.
2. Игроки устанавливают себе сложность "Легкая", и оставляют династические примочки (т.е. Конфлакс остается включенным). Ну там выбирают Династическое оружие, династические бонусы, питомца, или все оставляют как есть.
3. Игра ведется на скорость прохождения в днях.
4. По прохождению карты скриншотится финальный экран
(Наример так),
и высылается Ведущему.

В данном турнире можно разыгрывать Декреты или какие-то другие артефакты/монстры.
Ну естественно, организаторы надеются на добросовестность участников, что не будут подделывать победные экраны в фотошопе.
Данный турнир скорее расчитан больше на игру "for fan", нежели там вырывание победы из глоток противников - именно поэтому феоды не будут разыгрываться.

Высказываемся.

Всеми крыльями "ЗА"
