Dacuerdo, ya sabéis q si me ponéis un recordatorio sobre lo q hay publicado y lo q no, mejor.

Nueva tanda... nuevamente debo pediros que colaboreis, esta semana ya acabaré los examenes y tendre mas tiempo, pero por ahora aun no puedo ayudar mucho...

[UPDATE 10/3]

Will resource mines be upgradeable (L1,L2....higher level greater income) or will they generate a fixed amount of resources?

For sure, the mines will be upgradeable. The resources they will provide each day will depend on their level. You will also have the possibility to "improve" them at a cost but this would be a long term strategic investment.


Will towns be able to generate resources other than gold?

Your cities will only generate gold; you can upgrade your village hall to increase your income.


How many level upgrades will be possible for the town hall?

Four "town halls" will be available: Village hall (at start), Town hall, City Hall and Capital.


Will resources be "global" (at the level of whole empire) or managed in every town independently?

You will have to manage resources in each city independently but you will be able to exchange between them through caravans, so you can choose to develop some of you cities faster. As usual it's all about strategy Wink.


Will you be able to "raid" opponent's towns or to conquer them? Or maybe both? Please explain.

You will be able to "pillage" your enemies/neighbours to get extra resources and decrease, temporally, their income, or "attack" only their troops/region to weaken their defence by directly damaging their army.

Moreover, you can choose to conquer your neighbour's city by launching a "siege" on it. It will take several days; require many troops and a lot of strategy to choose the right moment to attack. Some special units like Catapults and Ballista are dedicated to this task; it will allow you to bombard your opponent during a siege.

You will also have the possibility to leave the siege and abandon your attempt if you feel the risks are too high (or an entire alliance is getting upset about it!).

Finally, if you are under siege within an alliance, your team-mates could try to "break the siege" and push the invader back.

All these interactions between players will bring you a lot of fun. Some alliance could stay peaceful dealing only with the marketplace while some other will engage in epic battles!

Perfecto, así habrá algo más que publicar la próxima vez.

# I'm back to give you an update about the project. Actually, we wanted to reach a point in the beta version where you will be able to really enjoy the game and give us your feedback so we could fine tune some elements of the game; hence the delay.
(It also allows us to test and define our strategy to face you all when your will enter the Beta Wink)

Will I be able to reinforce my armies during a siege on any given city?

Yes, you will be able to send reinforcement troops to assist your army during a siege. Indeed, when you choose to siege another player you will be constantly attacked by his new troops being produced from within the city, or from Allies coming to the rescue! If he has another city, he could organise a counterattack to break your siege and force you to retreat, so the need for reinforcements is strategically great.
Sieging another player is a long term task, requiring time and troops. That's what it takes to conquer your enemies' cities.


When will the game end? Will there be a final goal?

Many of you asked this question but I can't tell you right now. We have to keep some (good) surprises Wink


If you have an army in your castle, enemies need to destroy that army (hero) to pillage, right?

Yes, if your enemy wants to pillage your region he will have to face your army to succeed. That's why it could be very useful to keep some heroes patrolling your cities. But you manage your strategy and you can choose to let them take some of your resources if you want to avoid assaults from powerful players, or have better plans for your heroes.


Is every move you make a little fight or do you get the choice of fighting neutral creatures?

You can move in your region map without fighting but your objective is to pacify your region by freeing your mines and killing all the creatures hidden in your kingdom's forests.
When your hero is travelling on the world map, from one city to another for instance, he doesn't have to fight to reach his destination.


How will heroes level up? When will heroes be able to expand their skills/abilities?


# Each action brings experience to your heroes: fighting NPCs, improve a mine, build a region building, scout your neighbours, etc.
# Once you have enough experience, you level up
# Level up increases your main attributes depending on your training (13 available): a warmaster will gain a lot of points in attack and defence while a fanatic sorcerer will increase attack and magic values.
# Level up also gives you skill points. These skill points will allow you to buy a maximum of 3 careers per hero from 13 different careers like warrior, barbarian, merchant, priest etc...
# Each career grants access to a specific list of skills (from 3 to 5 depending on the career). The first time you pick a skill it will cost you 1 XP point and if you want to improve it you will have to spend more XP points. For instance, improve a skill from level 1 to level 2 will cost you 2 XP points. Maximum level is level 3.
# The maximum level being 40, each hero will have only 40 points to spend, tough choices ahead!


Will there be any sort of communication between the developers and the players during the beta?

That's already what we're trying to do. We really want to share information with the community, and it's my role to give you some news directly from our Dev Team. During the beta, it will be really important for us to pay attention to what you think or how you feel about the game. The purpose of the beta test is not only for detecting and reporting bugs but also to establish a real exchange between the beta testers and the Dev Team; we're currently thinking about how to do that.




Y otra mas Nadie se puede poner a traducir por lo k veo.. k asco esto de no tener tiempo :

Si nadie se ha puesto el juevees, lo haré yo.

1...2...3... ¡adjudicado!

1,2,3 respondo otra vez:

Como siempre lo que está en cursiva es mi ¿aportación? dejémoslo en añadido :D no digo paréntesis porque este tio es como yo, cada vez los usa más.

[ACTUALIZACIÓN 04/04/08]

He vuelto para actualizar la información sobre el proyecto. Realmente, queremos alcanzar un punto de la versión Beta en el que vosotros seáis capaces de disfrutar verdaderamente del juego y darnos vuestra opinión y sensación de forma que podamos refinar algunos elementos del juego; de ahí el retraso. (También nos permite comprobar y definir nuestra estrategia para haceros frente a todos cuando entréis a la Beta)

¿Seré capaz de reforzar mis ejércitos durante un asedio en una ciudad dada?

Si, serás capaz de enviar refuerzos para ayudar a tu ejército durante un asedio. En efecto, cuando eliges asediar a otro jugador serás constantemente atacado por las nuevas tropas que produzca desde su ciudad o de aliados que le vengan a rescatar! Si tiene otra ciudad, podrá organizar un contraataque para interrumpir tu asedio y forzarte a retirarte, así que la necesidad de refuerzos es elevada estratégicamente.
Asediar a otro jugador es una tarea a largo plazo, requiere tiempo y tropas. Eso es lo que tiene conquistar las ciudades de tus enemigos.

¿Cuando acabará el juego?¿Habrá una meta final?

Muchos habéis preguntado eso pero no os puedo decir de momento. Dedemos guardar algunas (buenas) sorpresas;)

¿Si tienes un ejército en tu castillo, los enemigos necesitan destruir ese ejército (héroe) para saquear, cierto?

Si, si tu enemigo quiere saquear tu zona tendrá que enfrentarse a tu ejército para lograrlo. Por ello será muy útil mantener algunos héroes patrullando por tus ciudades. Pero tu diriges tu estrategia y puedes decidir dejarles tomar algunos de tus recursos si quieres evitar asaltos de jugadores poderosos, o tienes mejores planes para tus héroes.

¿Cada movimiento que haces es una pequeña lucha o tienes la opción de luchar contra las criaturas neutrales? ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿?

Te puedes mover por tu zona de mapa sin luchar pero tu objetivo es pacificar la zona liberando tus minas y matando a las criaturas escondidas en los bosques de tu reino.
Cuando tu héroe viaja por el mapa del mundo, de una ciudad a otra instancia, no tiene que luchar para alcanzar su destino.

¿Como subirán de nivel los héroes? ¿Cuando serán capaces de expandir sus capacidades/habilidades?

·  Cada  acción aporta experiencia a tus héroes: luchar contra NPCs (Personajes no jugadores), mejorar una mina, construir un edificio de zona, explorar el terreno de los vecinos, etc...
·  Una vez tienes la experiencia suficiente, subes de nivel.
·  Subir de nivel incrementa tus atributos principales dependiendo de tu entrenamiento (13 accesibles): un maestro de la guerra ganará muchos puntos en ataque y defensa mientras un hechicero fanático subirá ataque y magia.
·  Al subir de nivel además te aporta puntos de capacidad que te permitirán comprar un máximo de 3 profesiones (lo que popularmente se conoce como clases) por héroe de 13 tipos distintos como guerrero, bárbaro, mercader, clérigo etc...
·  Cada profesión (clase) concede acceso a una lista específica de  capacidades (de 3 a 5 dependiendo de la elegida). La primera vez que tomas una capacidad te costará un punto de capacidad, si la quieres mejorar costará más puntos para los siguientes niveles. El nivel máximo es 3.
·  El nivel máximo para un héroe es 40, así que un héroe sólo podrá gastar 40 puntos, decisiones complicadas!

¿Habrá algún tipo de comunicación entre desarrolladores y jugadores durante la Beta?

Eso es lo que estamos intentando hacer. Realmente queremos compartir información con la comunidad, y es mi rol aportaros algunas noticias directamente desde nuestro Equipo de Desarrollo.

Durante la Beta, será verdaderamente importante para nosotros poner atención a lo que vosotros pensáis o como os sentís respecto al juego. El propósito de la Beta no es tan solo detectar y reportar errores sino también establecer un intercambio real entre los probadores y el Equipo de Desarrollo, estamos pensando como llevarlo a cabo.

Ok, en cuanto pueda lo coloco en una noticia ¿Puedes poner el enlace a la entrevista para ver mejor eso del movimiento y la pequeña lucha, por favor? Gracias por el esfuerzo.

¡Lo tienes arriba escrito por Karta!

Sí, pero tengo que ponerme a buscarlo y si me lo pones tú, mejor, que tampoco cuesta nada. :biggrin:

SI es tal cual de absurda la pregunta:

Is every move you make a little fight or do you get the choice of fighting neutral creatures?

You can move in your region map without fighting but your objective is to pacify your region by freeing your mines and killing all the creatures hidden in your kingdom's forests.
When your hero is travelling on the world map, from one city to another for instance, he doesn't have to fight to reach his destination.

Juasss, con el enlace me bastaba, ya le había echado un vistazo, pero gracias por la aclaración :wink:

Que perro, ha buscado la pregunta más chorra para poder contestar otra chorrada.
Si que detalla cosas del progreso del héroe pero el resto es paja y reversiones de cosas ya explicadas en las dos entregas anteriores.

Weno, despues de un tiempo de sequia, aqui teneis otra ronda de P&R A disfrutar y el k pueda, a traducir xDDDD

# UPDATE 29/4

Is it possible to be completely taken out of the game?

No, you cannot be removed from the game; your last city can't be taken by other players.


How essential is it to join an alliance? Can a player hold his own on his own, or is an alliance more or less required?

You can survive without joining an alliance but you will have to be a wise diplomat. You can choose to be a merchant dealing with your neighbours and build a trustful relationship with them. It could also be fun to play as a mercenary providing your army strength to the players who need it ... and who can pay enough! Last example: you can choose to be a spy, expert in scouting, and sell your info to your powerful neighbours.
Those are examples among so many different possibilities. You will be free to find your own way, but be prepared, being alone is tough in Heroes Kingdoms.


What happens when a hero is defeated? You have to rescue them like in homm4 or you have to "rescue" them from the tavern (with a drunkenness of 3 days) like in homm3??

Your hero can be defeated in a lot of different situations:
# He fails his scouting
# He is defeated on the battlefield
# You loose a city with some heroes within
# ...

There are 3 possibilities for each:

# Your hero escapes
# Your hero escapes but is wounded so he need healing and won't be available for a while
# Your hero is captured in your enemy jail!


What happens to a hero that's dead (completely defeated)? Or can they die (be completely defeated)?

The worst thing that can happen is for your heroes to be captured, they can't die.

--------

Now here is an abstract from an interview of Marc Blondeau, creative director on HOMM Kingdoms, from the Might and Magic community newsletter. If you want you receive the next one be sure to tick "Might and Magic" in your profile Wink

"Yaiden: What kind of game is it exactly?

Marc Blondeau: Think of it as a realm that exists in parallel to your own life. You can access it whenever you want as long as you have an internet connection. When you are in this world you lead a kingdom by making decisions based on strategy, tactics, diplomacy, economy and role play, if you want. Basically said, it is a strategy game enhanced with RPG elements, set in a persistant world."

Si, lo acabo de ver, más trabajo:) esta tarde o mañana.
