honestly it's counter intuitive but having so much respect for the old games can be a bad thing because people think they want to play a heroes like the old ones but in the end they want a fresh experience, heroes 5 was fresh but now its old, heroes 7 was fresh too but it was crippled with bugs and broken AI. olden Era looks great but it doesn't look fresh

Such a great video! Top quality! Looking forward, I heard some version of the game comes out Q2

Aaaw and honestly, you are such a genuinely loving person, I can see that. Thank you angel! 💜💜🙏🙏

I absolutely adore the artstyle of this game and think the overall vision and all the new ideas they bring to the table are perfect and its evident the devs are huge HoMM 3 fans 🥰

Ubisoft shall go to hell where they belong! This game looks like such a wonderful work of love but requiring people to sign up to those parasitic publishers will be a huge turn off for many. I hope the devs can somehow avoid that crap.

Oh ubisoft again? So will the races be something out of the normal? scifi Homm? Pink dragons and lore accurate? LGBT Minotaurs? I wanna see how ubisoft is gonna make Homm great again like ASSASSIN CREED I respect the hostess of this video, but sorry i dun buy it. game no affiliation to ubisoft? we will see

i love your dress! it's fun to see someone as exited as myself for this new title <3 of all the heroes games and there many interpitation of factions, who are your fav faction in each game? always been a fan of the knights and the necromancers in heroes 2 castle and necropolis in 3 shifted to just be death in 4 and it has stayed there to this day, love the new direction they have for the necromancers in this! aldo im vary of ubisoft...

Too bad this game is going to fail.

I have to mention that songs of conquest exists.

I'm very sceptical. This game looks way too similar to Heroes 3. If i want to play Heroes 3 I will play Heroes 3 and not it's imitator. Shame that they ignored Heroes 4. Imo game would be much better if they continued the story and included OG heroes heroes. Parrarel universe with copies of past heroes is lame. They could pick best things from heroes 1 to 5 and create a brand new game, not focus on creating competition for Heroes 3 HotA.

yeah...dunno...thinking that lots of appeal in homm3 was in hand drawn 2d graphics..for example lets say a unit or a building was only drawn from one angle and wasnt actually seeable all the way around linke in 3d games..so it was up to my imagination to envision what lets say titan actually looks like,a fiend pit or sword of judgement etc...old game had this book like reading expirience. it did not have everything defined and luck ingame was such a great factor!!

My honest criticism: 1. Castles, creatures & dwellings both in town view or battlefield do not feel stands out (too much blending in with background, should have contrasted more or more highlighted) 2. Smaller and bigger creatures do not feel that different. Should have learned more from heroes 5, 6, 7 in terms of creatures size and scale in comparison with each other. 3. World map doesn't feel immersive enough. Felt kinda flat and has no elevation and epicness. 4. Can't wait to see your response and revision regarding to this points. Thanks.

Is there going to be creature limit in one hero army like in Song of Conquest? I think it was great balance solution in Song of Conquest and makes it much more modern heroes-like game so I'm hoping Olden Era is going to have some balance solutions too. I'm so tired of grinding infinite horde and throwing it in one army like in old heroes games. I no longer find it nacceptable.

Brings back lots of memories. I first started playing when HOMM2 was released and never stopped until HOMM5. I even liked HOMM4, but it was too different. We used to laugh at a single Barbarian hero kicking Black Dragons to death. Then I discovered the HOMM2 "In the Wake of Gods" and I was playing again. Your video has me excited to play HOMM Olden Era. It could be the best version ever!

Skeleton MVP - killed two stacks!

Can you ask the developers next time you get a chance 2 additional questions Number 1. Will there be an underground section of the map? Number 2. What is the backbone of the multiplayer and rank system? Because if its Ubisoft's Uplay system I will not play online. Hotseat only because Ubisoft's servers have never worked. Their online system has always been atrocious. There was absolutely 0 reason at all I should need to manually configure the port forwarding settings at the router level just to gain access to HOMM5 online multiplayer. Not when WOW Litch King a game that came out around the same time was able to seamlessly connect players without the players needing to research the technical details of TPC and UDP protocols. Blizzard has multiplayer nailed. I can't even get a game of Monopoly Plus online to work correctly without problems. The explicit distinction from H6 of online mode vs offline mode and the save files being tied to Unity's cloud save system (that never worked). Offline saves not being accessible in online mode. and general overall experience of Ubisoft online is probably the biggest reason I never kept playing. If devs do not have their own entirely interally controlled networking solution then the ranked play and online parts of this game will fail Not to mention forcing steam players to launch Uplay from steam just to launch the game. If the EXE doesnt immediately open into the intro of the game then its gonna SUCK every time having to login through Uplay

Your olden era now looks like mobile game with child visual style, it;s ridiculous. It's a kind of how CDPR wants to make Ciri the new main hero in Witcher saga, but worse n times. No one knows "unfrozen" company, and ubisoft really falls into this trap again and again and again, when give rights to noname developers, it's crazy. So level down your excitement, it seems the game will fail very soon after releasing

Thank you for uploading. A great appearance as usual❤

Hi, can you please share our concern with the Celestial Archers? So many people think they are so off, and AI generated. Also worried that they will replace the angels as T7 for castle faction. That is very worrying. 😢

A dev team full of fans and an unofficial community manager who is also a fan sounds like a match made in heaven :)

Generally speaking, the game play looks great! I agree with the art direction criticism. Back in the day when I used to play HOM3 as a kid, we used to joke to our parents that it was teaching us about ancient mythology. The original art direction immersed me into a world with King Arthur style knights, Moses, and renaissance style angels and gremlins.I would move the art direction closer to that older fairytale books than modern pixar animations. I think doing this may be more difficult, but it think it would make the new game an instant timeless classic

Can't wait! Excellent videos to get us excited :) Unpopular development suggestion - add Mac support. I'm a bit older now since HOMM 1 release and now only work on mac (don't own a PC anymore). Perhaps there are many more others like me

Hero art looks like some anime bullshit.

This was truly fantastic I love the effort of creativity on your part. you could have just streamed from a webcam and broke the news but that was art. I started my own channel over a decade ago (name inspired too) to share cutscene footage from Heroes 5. Lousy footage from a consumer grade camera propped on top of a bookshelf from across the room because all the screen capture software ruined the beauty of the game with a watermark

I dont think so H6-7 had simplifications in our tournaments with them even more longer 30-40 minutes long exciting battles happened than in H3 general in 20-25 years. AI is way better too with the guards. More balanced factions also after patches and the expansion. Also for H7 120 skills for heroes and 7 magic schools (with random mode or active mode) with good spells all in them. Also the side and full flank idea was good in H7 in battles. Only the bad online out of synch and other errors still occure nowdays sadly.... There was a 40 minutes long final battle against my friend that won only by 1 cyclop over me :)

I'd take turns on you for sure.

to bad this game looks like a mobile game for teenagers

Never understood the HeroesOMM drama, dont like 4+, just go on and play the old games, Jesus Christ. I still play H3 ocasionally, never really played thr 5+ but it never bothered me that they exist or are different.

Wow the game looks good, hope it does well

Great vid, with very in-depth information! thanks!

What I would love and have always wanted but will probably never get is them integrating more of the scifi elements from the original Might and Magic setting into the Heroes games. They were playing to do so with an expansion to Heroes III and I was overjoyed. But people who had only played the Heroes games and didn't know the lore of the franchise outside the Heroes games started complaining, allegedly with some people sinking so far to send death threats to the developers, so the plans got scrapped.

Thank you Anna, you were truly magical as the series are! As an old fan of HoMM I too cross my fingers for Olden era and hope we have more magical hours spent in the realm of HoMM

I want to be optimistic but the visual design isn't letting me.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but having played every HoMM game, the fourth installment is actually one of my favorites, because heroes could be used more directly in combat. The focus of HoMM 4 was more on playable charaters and the respective storylines of the campaigns also focused on individual development. A huge bummer was actually the fact that units could no longer be upgraded and that you had to choose between two units of the same tier, when upgrading your city. Fan made campain also very good in HoMM 4, kudos to my fellow players and fans, you have created some amazing stories. PS: Great video Ana, keep it up, nice outfit. :)
