The link "Might & Magic Heroes VI website" in your thread was link to Heroes 5 page....
Does that mean we can use images from Heroes 5?

[ms-kleaneasy]

Ahh no, sorry wrong link and you can't grab the images from the new one by the looks of it.

I'll see if I can sort an assets pack http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/25.gif

I hope the judge takes in to consideration that most of the forum dvellers would like a lighter forum.

As many as you like, in the past with some forums we've limited to one per person but as a quieter forum it would be a shame to miss out on more entries by adding this rule so I purposely left it out http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/25.gif

Re judging criteria

There isnt really any specific criteria, the banners will be viewed by a large number of staff who will select their top three, from that we'll have either one or more top entries which will then be set for voting again.

Hope that helps

I feel that this rules prejuices my entry. And therfor will lead to me not winning.

Why you ask i belive people in marketing and game developmen dosent aprove of my alternative style. So i demand that blind people choose the winner. My style works best for them.

I want real art-critics to look at them. Only they can understand the impressionistic surrealist flow of energy in these pieces of art... either that or print several copies of each out (same number for each) then spread em out on a floor and let a camel inside and choose the one the camel takes a dump on.

Either way is just as good!

[BlackEscaflowne]

That official resource pack...the 249MB rar file...contains only a few images. Dissapointed at that.

Say guys, where did you get all the other images? I recognize a few as screencaps from the trailer, but what about the others?
The background battle? The heroes in colorful armor? Etc...

I would like to dedicate my entry to the community of the Heroes spirit. To all those who came before us and made this game possible. To all the fantastic old timers who might have left, but still are with us as wonderful living memories.
