Six new details about Heroes 6!
Town screen: there is as yet a town screen, or more specifically, a town window. The Theme music is a constant characteristic of each town. This kind of an animated town screen is 2D. The town screen of Haven was component of the failing elements that is why it was displaced by a simple screenshot for the demonstration variant.
3D model permits to get more information about a city on the adventure map. You can learn different facts about the strategy of your rival only observing developed towns.
You can see various mines on the adventure map. It is still necessary to flag them with an aim to get resources. The novelty is now all mines are under control of a fort or city. Once you are the owner of the city or the fort, your mines are flagged; just one way to take the mines from you is to occupy the fort or city that supervises the area.
I know that some part of you thinks there are many changes to the classic variant of Heroes, and I realize amendments can be weird. Truly speaking I responded the same way firstly. I can only give you some advice to expect until you play it before giving a judgement. I can convince of playing and feeling like Heroes. Because of this such addition gives some new to the mix. It does not try to be revolutionary or transform Heroes into an absolutely different thing. But it is other thing than Heroes 3 redux. To my mind it is quite a nice thing.

Heroes 6 announcement for August at Gamescom?
The site of Poland - Online Games gives information about the fact how Ubisoft by accident alluded to the project that was not planned to be disclosed.
This project represents something like “strategy, supplemented with RPG components”.
It is thought to be shown at Gamescom 2010-a tremendously popular videogame festival founded in Germany.
Such kind of news was given by mistake so the preventing measures appeared, but they could not give an opportunity to stop appearance of such headlines.
How great is the possibility that this enigmatic strategic game may be Heroes 6?
As Gamescom has no details about the project that may be existed at E3 2010, so it would be the next best venue for an apparent announcement.
Cologne will be the place for holding of Gamescom in the interim from 18 to 22 August, a bit over a year later “t-shirt hint”.
So be attentive and notice everything connecting with our favourite series.
There is another kind of news that Heroes 6 is developed
Shrewd readers who have been drawing attention, may keep in mind that, a couple of days ago,
one of the Heroes Kingdoms beta investigators publicly posted at the Ubisoft forums,
using reference to a very secret Heroes of Might and Magic 6 presentation, only exposed to a limited number of people at Ubisoft France.
This remark was deleted from forums that show the Heroes 6 announcement is near.
A new Heroes 6 - representative of Ubisoft community
For the first time for months they succeed in finding out official personnel at the Ubi forums.
There is a poster Xhane at these forums that called herself as the new developer of Might and Magic community.
She has been a fan of the series for a long time, so she surely told that her role is to make communication between the development teams,
giving answers to the questions and taking responsibility for Heroes 6 feedback.
Her promise is to join fan-sites and all Might and Magic guilds by the end of the week. Soon we shall see Xhane at Heroes Community.
Heroes 6 has been practically confirmed
The producers of the game Heroes of Might and Magic Romain de Waubert and Erwan Le Breton nearly confirmed that there will be a sixth outing for franchise.
The interview with this information was published with the website PlanetDS, founded in Germany.
N4g.com also has taken some news and the developers of this site are impressed by an ironclad “yes”.
To the question about their future plans the producers give the following answer: "…shrewd observers can get some light of the future if they put the Clash of Heroes producer diary videos to scrutiny.
The most significant moment of the video is when the notably great two producers present the next line of fashion clothes for Spring-Summer season,
using the style of Might & Magic..."
"I am so fond of Might and Magic that is why I am used to wearing its future similar to my second skin, understandable and pleasant to my soul…"
This surely concerns the Might and Magic. The producers wore Heroes 6 logos in recent developer diaries.
Probably the game will see daylight through the sales of forthcoming DS game Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes.
Is Heroes 6 in development? By the Dark Messiah team?
At present we still have no official remarks about Heroes of Might and Magic presentation now or soon in future.
To this very day there were some questionable hearsays, for example information on Gamasutra.com about “Looking for Heroes of MM Lead Game Designer”.
But a day before the game fans spoted a very intriguing image. It is a video screenshot, the author of which is Romain de Waubert de Genlis.
He was working on such titles as “Battlefield 1942”, “Call of Juarez”, and “Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon”.
Besides, Romain was producer of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic in 2006. His photo demonstrates a shirt with a stamp of Heroes artwork.
Unfortunately the image is too indistinct and it is very difficult to say what is accurately on it but it is like a demon creature,
still you can read the clear phrase under the stamp: “Heroes of Might and Magic 6”
We can think about this in two ways: Heroes 6 may be developed now, and the new producer is maybe Romain Waubert de Genlis,
since Fabrice Cambounet is busy with the browser-based game Heroes Kingdoms.
Might and Magic: Heroes 6 release date: October 13th 2011 !!!
