Age of Wonders 3 has that and it's honestly bit of a chore.

looks like dogshit not even ironically speaking

I mean god damn that entire pixel art is just over pretentious garbage

go shill your game somewhere else, it has nothing on pic related

It certainly shouldn't be the focus, I just want it to be a background thing.

Let us have like a worker unit that auto builds a road if you tell it too, or builds a port on the edge of water so there is no movement cost to embarking from that point.

>can't make pixel art look too good or it's "pretentious"

this is actually, literally, why we can't have nice things

Okay, colour me interested. Is the gameplay stack 9000 liches like classic HoMM or the much better Disciples?

the pixel art in the OP pic is dogshit

I don't think they've even reached alpha yet, so maybe sign up for that and annoy them to change it to whatever you like.

>much better Disciples
And by Disciples, I meant Age of Wonders (not that Disciples is a bad game).

Is it an Epic exclusive? If so, into the trash.

Then stop using Pixel art. 3D or beautiful hand-drawn 2D or fuck off.

That must be the ugliest faggiest dullest custom HoMM III map I've ever seen. I assume it's some shitty joke.

>or the much better Disciples
lmao fuck outta here

Who the fuck knows at this point.
>WHAT PLATFORMS WILL IT BE AVAILABLE ON?
>— PC and Mac.

please don't shill your game on this board

Homm3 is unironically ugly compared to 2

Don't worry, the opinions of Yea Forums autists don't really matter to developers.

>Put all that effort into good looking sprites and animations
>Just slap on some shitty flashplayer tier magic effects
Why

I'm just thirsty for some new HOMM. Also I'm fucking bored by this shitty E3. This is the only thing that stood out to me.

Are Heroes 3 purists meleefags of turn based strategy?

Shut up zoomer

>Mac
>2019

Who the fuck is still trying to play games on a Mac in current year?

then come back in a year mr shill

Disciples is shit its like a shitty jrpg with an overworld map. I still can't get over how basic and limited it is for a strategy game.

Homm2 is better than Homm3
Fight me faggots, you'll lose

Better indie shills than another smash thread.

>Shilling epic exlcusive nu-pixel shit
You must leave.

this screenshot is a good example of soulless pixel art

Looks a bit tiring on my eyes, I hope they can refine it. Will keep an eye on news and gameplay.

HoMM IIII has the best campaign of them all
You can't refuse this, every argument dies compared to the pirate chaos missions

Looks like garbage compared tto HoMM3

>new Heroes inspired game announced
Hmm, I'll keep an eye on it - thanks for letting us know! I already said farewell to HoMM after Ubishit turned it into a gacha game, so it can only pleasantly surprise. I feel like they went a bit overboard with pixel aesthetics, but I'm clearly biased in favor of HoMM III.

How about just not putting twice as much time/money into trying to please retards such as yourself? Also, note that a 2d game zoomed out as much as OP would essentially still end up being pixel art even with "beautiful hand drawn dick tickling 2D".

>pretentious
This word is comically misused and overused.

I know this feel, except replace this game with Jedi Fallen Order and DOOM Eternal. There's just fucking nothing this year, this is the worst E3 in a very long time and you can even feel the total lack of excitement in the conferences themselves. Bethesda was just Fallout 76 and mobile shovelware. MS was just multiplats, Queers of War, and Xbone 2. No Sony. PC show was just an Epic shill commercial. I hope Nintendo has something, anything, to care about but I doubt it since the Switch is shit.

Ghosts broke HOMM2 wide open if you got enough of 'em.

*uses diplomat in your path*
nothing personel kid

>can't beat any campaign in either games

Every time I leave with my army some fag comes in and just snatches my castle

You've got to be aggressive early on, the key to all Might and Magic games

>daring to talk about balance in favor of homm3

how?
just take the castle back
do you not hire new heroes to squat in your castle while your main hero/es go around and do shit?
Also the gameplay of HOMM hasn't aged well

You shouldn't have just 1 hero. Get more courier heroes to pick up and transport extra troops, conquer easier neutral camps, check weekly bonus camps etc.

Attached: implying.png (1376x773, 1.66M)

Should I transport like 4 units every day or wait longer? (HoMMIV) I always get lazy and just bunch everything in 1 pile

How many power liches can I control at a time? This is important.

>Ghosts broke HOMM2 wide open if you got enough of 'em.
No they didn't because you're playing a broken version of homm2, not the original version.
You couldn't recruit ghosts in the original homm2.

Over 9000 my dude.

>that big ball play when you abandon your capital to win the war

I appreciate the effort user!

>(HoMMIV
oh 4
yeah don't play that one

There is nothing wrong with HoMM IV. Having a one man army hero is cool as fuck after you slogged trough the shitty faze, the units are more unique compared to the predecessor and the campaigns are some of the best any vidya ever produced

Attached: 1552573137677.jpg (1280x852, 235K)

I like it more than 3 though

The pirate chaos missions? You mean HoMM IV? I don't recall any campaign like that in 3.

Attached: 1555697077186.jpg (300x331, 100K)

These is plenty of wrong with homm4
Having a one man army hero is done better in many other games, it doesn't fit into the combat of homm that homm4 kept where you have an abstracted chess game where 1 figure can represent hundreds or thousands of that army type but the hero is just the hero.
The pathing of the units different sizes and movement and attack angles are poorly handled.
The caravan system makes it a tedious mess and removes one of homms benefits over the warlords tbs series where you have way too many small armies to take care of with little added strategic benefit.
It's an ideas guys game where none of the ideas have been properly handled.

It is one of the worst games I've ever been tricked into playing.

Music & story was alright even though it had to go and destroy endor, some faction setups were good, while others were bland.

Gauldoth Half-dead is the best Heroes protagonist

>The caravan system makes it a tedious
The caravan system is probably the best thing they made to the series, no more running back and forth for 2 weeks collecting minotaurs only to be cucked by a faggot stealing it because you didn't microed it with 40 heroes

HommIV was rushed, and New World Computing was at the bad place in general during the death groans of 3DO. They even made Might and Magic themed arena shooter in attempt to cash in with success of Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament.

That looks like it came from a jrpg (which is dogshit).

it's literally a map for testing shit

why are you so mad

There's no obelisk on that map, and the last time I played on that map I dug for the ultimate artifact at random and got it on the first try.
Such a tiny map that there aren't that many tiles that are viable for digging, so not too crazy, but maybe 1/200
I think I got the ultimate crown.

I like it.

It doesn't look bad but unlike Heroes games I can't just from the glance figure out what I can interact with and what I can't. Things just don't pop.

>Also the gameplay of HOMM hasn't aged well
Unmutable set of bits aged
You should write a paper.

The art here looks okay but I can't say I'm excited until I see some actual gameplay.

I think in motion it should be more apparent, looks like the resources have a shimmer to them:
Compare the 2 piles of minerals near the center-northeast

Though with stuff like trees being animated that might get overshadowed.
So hard to say for sure I think, since I have several decades of knowing what is interactable in homm2 and homm3.

I don't really like the cliffs in the new game, but otherwise I think it looks good.
The ramps from the cliffs look very bad.

Anyone have a PNG of this shit? The JPEG ruins the pixels
