Ugly unit frames instead of real visual army changes?

#1 Post by Celltech »

I hope visual changes are on the way. I cant stand those ugly frames....To be honest..they are a poor attempt to highlight superior units. New stats new names and new pictures please

I don't think the frames are ugly, I like them. However I do think they are a bit gimmicky and there should be new art and new tier perhaps as well as some interesting stats.

PS PLEASE give archers hoods!

And then at higher levels (maybe tier 5) one could even be elite engraved elven helms -- but bare head seems shame for highest tier elven and drow armies...

Id like to see different avatars as well.
Every hero option is human
If my race is demon, dark elf, or elf why is my hero human ?

The artifacts you put on should change the heroes looks as well.

More skins/avatars would make each player unique. Lots of players would spend real money on this guaranteed

Very outdated graphics

Agreed

I disagree here -- artifacts changing look would be too bulky imo and require redesign in bulky way.

I very much don't think the graphics are "outdated" -- not everything has to be in 3D. Sometimes simple is better and leaves more for imagination.
This game very much tips it's hat to the Heroes of Might and Magic franchise and the layout of the UI and the art style it has is actually what's made me keep playing.
If it changed, I might hate it and would be unsure if I'd continue playing.

Slow down game screens, slow down GUI fluidity -- not that its the best right now, but it would probably make it worse.

Just please no 3D
